Pans labyrinth

To start off, I am absolutely speechless. I honestly dont know how to timbre after watching and researching the movie as well as its concepts. Watching Pans Labyrinth gave me so much more than Just a cultural connection. In the beginning, I Immediately thought what is this? What am I watching? . I paused the movie midway lust to do a background check on the author I think that Guillemot De Tort did a fabulous Job directing this movie. There were no famous actors In the movie but I cant even tell you how many times my mother yelled at me for my outbursts.For mineral background information to the story, It takes place In Spain during the Spanish Civil war In 1944. Beginning In July of 1963 and ending on April 1st, 1969, the war highlighted Socialism vs.. Fascism. Spain was once a very powerful country, but was In ruins before the twentieth century. The Spaniards were divided Into different forms of government. The monarchists were very conservative while the Catholics refused to refo rm. Those who wanted a republic believed the country needed reformation In areas such as agriculture, regionalism, the perform and the army.Francisco Franco represented the fascist and monarchs and eventually won the war in 1939. He left half a million people dead from the war and realised a dictatorship. Franco also received military support from Hitler (l find it ironic they strongly resembled each other in the movie) and Mussolini. Guillemot held a great balance amidst the history and fairy tale concepts of the movie. The story started off by telling its viewers that a king was waiting for the lost soul of his dead daughter.Soon things renditions to a young girl named Offline and her pregnant mother, Carmen. They were riding to see Franco, to whom Offline was told to call father. Throughout the story, Carmen is very ill and soon stops the car. Offline wonders off and finds a stone on the ground as well as the statue it belongs to. She fixes it, in turn finding a fairy that fol lows her. That night, the fairy leads her to a labyrinth where she finds a faun. This mystical peter identifies her as the lost princess.
