pan's labyrinth
bujiatang:
Maybe the reason why Pan's Labyrinth isn't seeing wide release, is that Americans do not want to think about Franco.
Inlander:
I would be genuinely surprised if most Americans knew who Franco was.
bujiatang:
And that, partly, is my point. It is like we ignored Spain, I can't help but imagine the whole country went on vacation. No one translates Spanish fiction from the mid 20th century, few movies from that period are available in the States, its not like the country had done nothing for arts and entertainment it just does make it here. And this strikes me as very very cryptic.
Who made the decision to isolate Spain? All I can see coming from this is bad education about another country. pun intended.

ZOMBIE-FYING AN OLD THREAD!
FInally got the chance to see this movie last night...holy crap, I think it might be one of the best movie's I've seen in ages. Just gorgeous the whole way through.
I kept waiting for the Faun to turn out to be a bad guy though...
bujiatang:
I think it is awesome how the father had his own romantic fairy tale he was trying to live. Only for it die with him too. For me it shows how even adults have their own myths and security blankets, while they might be different from a child's myths and security blankets perhaps no more or less valid than a child's.
