Pan's Labyrinth	comment	Imagine Alice's Adventures in Wonderland meeting The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, then joined by The Wind That Shakes the Barley with a sizable portion of The Brothers Grimm thrown in.You'll get...Pan's Labyrinth (Original Spanish title: El Laberinto del Fauno), a dark, modern-day fairy tale, complete with fairies, Secret Tests of Character, and monsters — not all of them supernatural.It's set in 1944, a few years after the Spanish Civil War (a favorite period for Mexico-born Guillermo del Toro, the film's writer and director) with Spain's democratically elected left-wing government overthrown by Francisco Franco's Nationalists and the new fascist regime (which ensured Spain remained neutral during World War II) attempting to weed out the last traces of La RÃ©sistance, led by The Remnant of the former Republican government. The story centers on Ofelia (Ivana Baquero), an only child whose widowed mother Carmen (Ariadna Gil) has agreed to marry the ruthless Captain Vidal (Sergi Lopez) to provide for them. In turn, he expects her to bear him a son.Ofelia and her mother are taken to a villa in the mountains near an old labyrinth (the titular Faun'a) to be near Captain Vidal for the birth while he hunts down rebels. Ofelia is quickly taken into a Changeling Fantasy about how she is secretly a princess of the underworld fairy kingdom, lost to humanity for many ages. The labyrinth was one of many made by her father, the King of the Underworld, as gateways in the hope she would return. As she undergoes trials to prove her soul is uncorrupted by living among humans, so do the rebels, her mother, and her nursemaid and only friend Mercedes.Del Toro's earlier The Devil's Backbone is considered its "brother film". It's also now the subject of an upcoming musical adaptation written by Del Toro himself, with Gustavo Santaolalla (Babel, Brokeback Mountain and The Last of Us) and Paul Williams composing music/lyrics, respectively.Should not be confused with Labyrinth, which is considerably Lighter and Softer, although their premises and sensibilities are comparable.

Pan's Labyrinth / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers used for the US release 1) gave no clue that the actual film was in Spanish, and 2) made it look like a The Chronicles of Narnia type family fantasy — which is of course wrong. Driven home on the cover of the DVD, which promises that the movie is "on the same altar of High Fantasy as The Lord of the Rings trilogy," and throws another mention of The Lord of the Rings on the back of the cover, obviously trying to make whoever buys it believe that the movie is going to be just like it. If anything, it's more of an Urban Fantasy, and certainly not High Fantasy as TV Tropes defines the term.

He's the only family she has left, and she doesn't trust what "a little" blood means.

This scene single-handedly establishes Captain Vidal as psychopathic sadist. Vidal doesn't let up in the climax. He corners Ofelia who is carrying his son in the labyrinth. She's staring into the air and talking about "I would," seemingly alone and defenseless. There's a moment of pity on his face as he takes the baby from her and Ofelia tells him, "no". Then he shoots her. Even he realizes he went too far when he comes out and the rebels have cornered him.

Pan's Labyrinth / int_3f7a958b	comment	Secret Test of Character: In short, is it better to play it safe and obey, or to take the chance and be disobedient when you don't trust the authority in question? This theme is foreshadowed, in microcosmic form, in Ofelia's bedtime story for her unborn brother. The ultimate test is when the Faun demands that Ofelia hand over her brother so that he can use the baby's blood to get her back home. She refuses and dies thanks to Vidal catching up to her. It turns out that her decision was the right one, and the Faun is relieved when she appears as Princess Moanna in the Underworld. The Fairy King says it was her refusal to hurt an innocent that proved she was still their princess. The test may have been set up even earlier with the Pale Man's banquet. Ofelia is told very clearly not to eat anything before going to it, but she disregards the rule and wakes the monster. Afterward the Faun berates her for it, which might not be genuine anger, but an attempt to see if her now-proven ability to defy orders can be beaten down or not, leading into the last test. Ofelia is given the mission with a question of whether she can obey properly...when the solution requires she doesn't.

Pan's Labyrinth / int_4ac8b81f	comment	Humans Are the Real Monsters: Played with. The depiction of Franco's fascist regime, as well as the Holocaust imagery hinted at in the Pale Man's lair, certainly has echoes of this, as does the Faun's insistence that Ofelia not be tainted by human contact. The novelization mentions that fairy tales have rules and logic, and people don't. As the film goes on, though, we see many examples of courage, integrity, and compassion from various human characters, even in the grim and hopeless circumstances they find themselves in.

Pan's Labyrinth / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Vidal's line, "If you have to choose, save the boy," ironically foreshadows Ofelia saving her brother at the cost of her own life. Mercedes' badass boast to Vidal includes her telling him not to harm Ofelia. Vidal murders Ofelia in cold blood at the end of the film, and heâ€™s then quickly killed in revenge. Dr. Ferreiro remarks to Captain Vidal that blind obedience without questioning is something only men like him practice. For her last task, Ofelia promises the faun that she will obey any command he gives without questioning, but refuses to risk her brother's safety. In the Pale Man's chamber, there are three locks that Ofelia can use the key from the first task on. The fairies insist on the center lock, but Ofelia tries it and finds no give, so she decides to try the lock on the left instead and succeeds. She also defies the nagging of the fairies and the Faun's stated rule and eats grapes from the table, proving that she can question authority and think independently enough to pass the final test. Multiple scenes show Vidal shaving in a mirror with his straight razor, and one time, he frustratedly slashes across his reflection. Mercedes ends up slashing half his mouth open with a knife she rolls up in her apron.

Pan's Labyrinth / int_b7920c43	type	Lost in Translation
Pan's Labyrinth / int_b7920c43	comment	Lost in Translation: There are a few scenes that have a little extra depth for Spanish speakers that unfortunately don't translate into English. When the Captain welcomes Ofelia and the pregnant Carmen to the villa, he says "Bienvenidos" to them, the Spanish form of "welcome" that one would use in addressing multiple people when at least one is male (you'd say "Bienvenidas" to two women.) This would instantly telegraph to a Spanish-speaking audience whom he really cares about, especially since the baby's sex is still unknown. Del Toro gets the point across for non-Spanish speakers by having the Captain wait until he's checked Carmen's pregnant belly before he welcomes them. The Faun (and later the Fairy court) use the "vos" form when addressing Ofelia, rather than "tÃº". The "vos" used here (not to be confused with the "vos" form used in Argentina) was the formal address given in Spain during medieval times, specially to nobles and, above all, royalty. Not only does add a bit of atmosphere to the characters, but it also overlaps with the Royal "We". The scene when Mercedes breaks free from Vidal and attacks him with a knife she had concealed. Up until that point she was addressing him in the formal form ("usted"), but here changes to the informal form ("tÃº"), which at the time was considered a HUGE disrespect to someone of higher rank. Which of course, makes the ensuing scene all the more cathartic! The line: "Motherfucker, don't you dare touch the girl. You won't be the first pig I've gutted." The insult in Spanish is "hijo de puta", which means "son of a bitch". The thing is, in Spain "son of a bitch" is considered way more offensive than "motherfucker" is in English. Actually, it's considered THE worst insult you can say to a person.

Ofelia sees the size of the knife and says no. It later turns out that this was part of her test and her father says refusing to spill the blood of an innocent showed that she could return home.

Two fairies were killed because of her and she escaped just in time, almost devoured herself. The Faun is harsh and berates her thoroughly. Especially bad since the Pale Man's banquet hall is covered in paintings of him devouring children.

When Ofelia messes up her second task, the Faun proclaims that the magical world will fade along with her eventual death. However, by the end of the film, it is said that the Princess left traces of her existence in places where people could find them if they looked carefully.

On a symbolic level, such a fearsome monster as Captain Vidal needed something equally fearsome to finish him off. Such is the nature of a fairy tale...

When he's finally cornered by Mercedes and the rebels at the end, despite being the Determinator up until that point, he gives up relatively easily and calmly hands over the baby to Mercedes, asking her to give him his watch and tell him his Last Words when he grows up. Mercedes refuses. See Wham Line below.

Which is presumably why, at the end of the movie, Vidal can't see the Faun standing right in front of him. The novelization goes further when he doesn't even seem to question why Ofelia took his son into the labyrinth and not into the woods where the rebels were waiting. It never occurs to him that she really wanted to protect her little brother from monsters like him. After Dr. Ferreiro Mercy Kills Tarta even though Vidal wanted him kept alive, Vidal is clearly angry, but he also looks and sounds genuinely confused and uncomprehending. He truly doesn't understand why someone would disobey a direct order when they know perfectly well that they will suffer terrible consequences for it.
