Pan's Labyrinth

Pan’s Labyrinth, the 3 winning movie awards but its not well known. Pan’s Labyrinth was written and directed by del Toro. The movie itself is nothing but full of relation to the real world or the film world: disobedience, religion parallel, light and color, the characters and fairy tale world story plot.

Throughout the movie disobedience was the main point of this movie.  Almost every scene had disobedience in it. For example between the Ofeila and her mother, Ofeila and the captain, Ofeila and the faun, Captain and the rebels and so on.   One part in the movie that disobedience happens between the captain and Ofeila is when Ofelia arrived at the captain’s home on the mountain. Ofeila met her new stepfather for the first time they met Captain told Ofeila to not go through the Pan’s Labyrinth but later Ofeila still disobeyed and was curious and went through the Pan’s Labyrinth. This is only one example of disobedience in the movie.

However disobedience wasn’t only in the characters, it was also in the film itself for example light and color. Light and color was base on the characters. But del Toro broke the film industry rule of light and color. Through the movie on some characters for example the captain, it was hard to see. This was because the light and color on the captain was dark, dull and murky. Light was another disobedience in this movie that del Toro did. In some scene the light would on something not important for example the dinner scene the brightest light was on the table filled with food. In that scene the food was not important, the people around the table were important but del Toro broke the rules of the film making industry.

            But that not all the disobedience that happen in the movie, del Toro also broke the rules of common fairy tale movies, for example Snow White, Cinderella and many more. Common Fairy Tale plot, girl suffers then prince charming saves them and they live happily ever after. But in Pan’s Labyrinth was opposite because the main character Ofeila died, Yes, she did become a princess of the underworld but she was not a moral. Another thing that is related to Fairly Tales but also light and color is during Fairy Tales movies the light and color tend to be bright and beautiful. In Pan’s Labyrinth the color was dark and ugly

Pan’s Labyrinth is one of the most jumbled movie ever with lot of analyzing involved. There is also so much to analyze like disobedience, religion parallel, light and color, the characters and fairy tale story plot.
