pan's labyrinth

Joseph:
The violence that is present is made all the more intense by the fact that it happens relatively rarely in the movie.  With most "violent" films, the violence is constant, and you get used to it fairly fast.  Here, you settle down after a bit of it, and then the violence returns, and it's kind of shocking every time.

Fiddler:
Dark Flame pretty much has it right.  You just need to think about this movie as a fairy tale more in the lines of the Grimm's Fairy Tales.   Speaking of Grimm's, I have to say that Pan's Labyrinth is what I wish the Terry Gilliam movie had turned out to be and I'm so glad someone got it right.

Lise:
I agree with Fiddler, Pan's seems to trounce previous Hollywood endeavors in blending fiction and reality- I in particular didn't find "The Brothers Grimm" to do its fairy tale background justice. These days, solid CGI work can't cover up cliches  :wink:.

But seriously, I cannot wait to see Pan's in the theater <3 (my friends who were dubious about Pan's worth shall be pleasantly surprised... and I will be the smug one! PWAHAHA!).

Hat:
I nearly shit my pants when that weird fucking thing with the eyes in its hand started to move.

And it wasn't even that terrifying a creature, but its motionlessness, the soundtrack, and the eerie nature of everything in that place just came together perfectly and created a fantastic suspense scene.

LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS, HOLLYWOOD.

bujiatang:
Wicked good movie. The ending was perfectly dark. I cannot say more without spoiling.
