Pan's Labyrinth Evalutation


Del Toro presented Pan’s Labyrinth to viewers because Del Toro wanted to show the viewers that the movie was against Hollywood movie rules. Del Toro challenged the Hollywood critics with his kind of style and perspective of Pan. His style was to express his emotions through fantasy. His perspective was dealing with the reality by showing abstract and you have to figure out what Del Toro meant. Most of Hollywood tended to show real things and you just see and understand. In Pan, Del Toro wanted you to see, think, figure, and understand. Pan’s Labyrinth is a lot real than other fantasy movies like Alice in the Wonderland because Pan does have meanings in each character and acts they done.
Director’s Note in Pan’s Labyrinth movie, Del Toro told the audience that he was really fell inside the movie and he almost killed himself because he had sleepless nights and blur days. He actually worked the movie out himself. Pan’s Labyrinth became so famous because of Del Toro and his inner feelings into the movie. Del Toro disobeyed Hollywood’s standard movie rules and added his meanings and true horrors in the movie. The movie branded all the audience’s minds. Pan’s Labyrinth showed the audience where all of the viewers actually living on, a land full of violence and blood.
The movie is so unusual than other movies because the movie showed completely full show of violence, killing the miracle worker-the doctor, and the huge impact is a child died in the end. Most of the viewers feel the impact from the movie is a child dying, blood dripping out her little mouth, she was shot by a huge man, and many more. In other way, Del Toro disobeyed the general movie rules because there were SO FEW movies which did showed a child dying. He felt that he have to show the main character, Ofelia dying because it will make the movie to stand out than other movies. The movie has a positive credibility because of its director and producers.
Del Toro showed the movie out of his heart because he wanted to show the audience that where they are living on right now. He wanted to make the audience to think and figure out what Del Toro’s abstracts meant. He stood the movie out because he gave the most horror thing has happened in the movie, the main character a young girl will die in the end. He hated to have this event to happen in the movie but it s only one thing to make the audience to feel the huge impact from the movie and think of this movie rest of their lives.

  1. Pan's Labyrinth definitely broke all of the Hollywood film rules. And maybe that's why it became so famous?

    Maybe you could provide a few examples of which movies showed a child's death and do some comparisons?

  5. I wonder if del Toro reads other people's thoughts on his ideas. In art, there are so many interpretations of the smallest details. When I think of that, I wonder if del Toro sees someone's theories and goes "Whatttt? I never meant that but that totally makes sense!" haha

  8. It is interesting to me that everyone here believes that Pan's Labyrinth shook the rules of Hollywood film. I believe that the film is not challenged to the Hollywood critics only, but internationally. The purpose of the film is to awaken the world with the punctuality of the reality. And I wonder if a movie that broke all of the rules of standard filming, it would become an acclaimed film?
