"Because it is in pain that we find the meaning of life." - Ofelia
Pan's Labyrinth is a dark fantasy film directed by Guillermo del Toro. It is about Ofelia and her adventures in claiming her title as the underworld's princess. As she finds out about her true identity, she encounters otherworldly creatures. Like the faun who acted as her guide. As the tale reached its conclusion, I found myself at the edge of my seat and glued to the screen.
I would definitely watch this again because of its unpredictable plot. The attention grabbing scenes had me bawling on the floor and shouting like a mad man. I prefer to watch this kind fairy tales than the usual because the outcomes are surprising and out - of - this world amazing.
I love this movie because it taught me things that I would never learn from classic fairy tales. The Protagonist has taught me that, in pain, we find the true meaning of life. She taught me that pain is just an illusion. If you were able to survive the most painful things, (emotionally, physically or mentally) a greater reward awaits you. That is, HAPPINESS.
I know that some dark fairy tales have sad endings but that makes them a breather from all the Cinderella stories we've watched.
