Little kids have more enthusiasm for life

Pan’s Labyrinth is a compelling story of a young girl and her fantasy world. This movie shows how young children can see more with their imaginations. There are aspects of dark fantasy that show the childish side of people. Pan’s Labyrinth excited all kinds of viewers and causes people to reminisce about their childhoods.
Pan’s Labyrinth shows the struggle of a young girl Ofelia (Ivana Baquero). Ofelia has never met her father. Her mother marries a well-off captain, Captain Vidal (Sergi López). The captain has money and power. Carmen marries him for his financial support. She is pregnant with the captain’s son. Both characters are using each other for something they want/need. Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) is a young girl that is said to be a princess that died in a past life and is being tested to prove she is worthy to be immortal. The tests are being administered by a terrifying faun. Guillermo del Toro shows his talent in Pan’s Labyrinth by illustrating the mind of a young child.
Most characters played their roles well, especially Sergi López who plays Captain Vidal. A viewer can get very angry at the Captain throughout the movie. He commits many acts of violence, some uncalled for. Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) is the most naïve of all the characters. She is the protagonist of the film. She was many struggles for such a young child. The audience has a real connection with Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) because everyone has been a child once and believed in fantasy creatures. Both Mercedes (Maribel Verdú) and the Doctor (Álex Angulo) portray characters that are helping the rebel army. Many of the Characters in Pan’s Labyrinth play their roles with emotion and attitude.
The set and special effects make the movie unforgettable. The Faun (Doug Jones), and the creature with its eyes in its hands, have elements of dark fantasy that are shown in the special effects. Without the effects, this movie would be plain and not as interesting. The special effects allow you to almost enter the movie and watch from the front row. The set is a dark wooded land. This set goes with the dark special effects. The special effects and the set are masterful creations of the mind of Guillermo del Toro. The movie was produced with perfection in mind. The characters perform their roles magnificently. The Special effects, Production, and Set help the dark fantasy get up close and personal with the audience.
Pan’s Labyrinth is very effective in involving the viewer in the movie. The story itself is magical and very interesting. Throughout the entire film you are pulled in by small details. It fulfilled my wants and needs in a movie. Pan’s Labyrinth is a must see for the serious movie watcher, or just a viewer that needs to get away from the world.
