Pan's Labyrinth, El Laberinto del Fauno Options

[P-girl]

This is, seriously one of the best movies I've ever seen. At the end, I cried so hard I had to be comforted by my father.
Pan's Labyrinth is set in post-Civil War Spain, tells the allegorical story of a girl named Ofelia who is given three tasks by a mysterious faun. Meanwhile, her stepfather, the Falangist Captain Vidal, viciously hunts for rebels in the region, and her pregnant mother grows ill.

Everything about this movie is top-notch. The music, the actors, with my personal favourite Doug Jones on top, the storyline, which is a perfect mixture between breath-taking fantasy and harsh reality and the faun (Doug Jones) and his fairies are some of the most memorable characters I've ever seen in a movie.

A warning, however: This film is dark, contains some extremely graphic, and even gory violence, mainly thanks to Captain Vidal and his psycopath ways. Not suited for a young audience.

Saw it, loved it, chose to believe (to avoid spoilers) that the ending with Ofelia and...her ...parents... was what really happened.

I really want to see this movie!

[Another Morning]

I was at my aunt's house a while ago with my parents, and we rented this movie. I had really wanted to see it for a long time, so I was really excited all day.

...And then my parents made my watch my little cousin so they could watch it. >_O

I only saw the last half hour. It kinda ruined it for me.
