Pan’s Labyrinth

Pan's Labyrinth is one of the most sad movies you will see. However, it is very good and you should watch it. I had been warned prior that this movie is in Spanish. However, there are subtitles. When you first start watching, they are somewhat annoying. However, by the end of the movie, you don't even realize that you are reading. It all just flows together. The story is good (but sad) and the ending is definitely not predictable. If you have seen the movie, I have a question for you regarding the end.

Here's a brief synopsis:

In this fairy tale for adults, 10 year old Ofelia stumbles on a decaying labyrinth guarded by Pan, an ancient satyr who claims to know her destiny. With a new home, a new stepfather –a Fascist officer in the pro-Franco army — and a new sibling on the way, nothing is familiar to Ofelia in this multiple Oscar-winning tale set in 1944 Spain.

It is rated R and is 112 minutes. It is a movie I definitely recommend that you see.

    Hi Lisa,

    We had the opportunity to watch this movie, and being prepared to be shocked is a good way to say it. I didn't so much mine the odd things in the movie, the living root under the bed, how she had to feed it to keep it thriving, or even the creatures. What did bother us were the horrific acts of violence, like the scene where the man in charge tortured those that defied him. During those times my stomach was in such knots we had to pause the movie. It was an interesting movie, just not one I would recommend to anyone with a weak stomach.

    I have to agree with you. I had a real hard time watching the end myself.

    I found this movie absolutely brilliant and I'm actually glad they didn't dub it!
    Have to agree with you on the Babel movie, too, it was a bit dissappointing…
    Surprised was I by Adam Sandler though, in Reign over me…
    cheers!
