pan's labyrinth

ampersandwitch:
My favorite part was the conversation they had about the tablet.
"That's you, and that's me!"
"But what about the baby?  Who's that?"
"Uh. . ."

Yeah, he was totally sinister.

Lines:
Yeah but you know what was awesome? When the evil guy told the rebels to give his son his watch so he could be evil like his daddy and they were all like, NO, dude, you suck, and then shot him. In the FACE.

In other words, the stepdad scared me a lot more than the faun. The faun was a bit iffy, but he did not smash some guy's face in with a wine bottle for, well, telling the truth.

Liz:
That part made me cringe a lot. And after Mercedes cut his cheek and he was sewing it shut... The sound of it alone (I was definately looking away) was making my stomach turn.

Cartilage Head:
 Whether they used prosthetics or whatever, the sewing of the cheek-wound was definitely very well-done.

 And the bottle scene.. uurgghh. I super-cringed.

Melodic:
SPOILERS, DUHR.

Having been 5 days since seeing Pan's Labyrinth, I'm still trying to piece together why I am so in love with this movie.

The Pale Man was the most amazing horror sequence I've ever witnessed across any media, bar none, although I found Ofelia's greed a bit odd, especially considering the scary-ass monster sitting at the table next to her. When he came to life and started chomping on fairy-faces, she seemed to recoil from the fact that anything could harm her or her friends, which might support the idea that it was her own fantasy world. While I thought the Pale Man's stance, with his hands up by his face, was almost silly, I couldn't help but feel all-the-more drawn in, and the paintings that Ofelia saw as she scanned the dining room only added to this perverted fairy tale. I certainly agree that he (it?) reminded me of a Silent Hill monster, but the entire scene was pulled off ten times better than any similar Hollywood experience.

The Faun still gives me shivers. I never fully trusted his character during the movie, nor did I after the ending, but perhaps that's to be expected. If he was waiting so long for Ofelia to waltz by, I imagine he had reason to be as impatient (and indeed, as straightforward) as he was. When she had an "accident", he was perhaps rightly outraged, as she could have been built up in his mind as the perfect ruler. Can anyone tell me why the movie is called "Pan's Labyrinth", when his name is never mentioned throughout the film? EDIT: So I wiki'd the name origin, and it stems from the faun-like Greek god Pan. Go figure.

As a side note, does anyone know if there's an official soundtrack? Some of these songs make me want to cry like a little girl.
