Pan's Labyrinth talked about an ancient kingdom lost their princess. The king believes one day the princess's soul will return, maybe in another body. Little girl Ofelia and her mom is moving to see their new family. Ofelia saw a faun, little fairies and a labyrinth at the new place. She was told that she is the chosen one, and needs to finish some requests. Just in case you didn't notice, I am really keen on fictional creatures in a fairy tale like story. I loved Fantastic Beasts 1, Tale of Tales, My neighbor Totoro and so on and I loved Pan's Labyrinth. The faun, the fairies, and the monster with eyes on his hands are so intriguing and fun to watch. Also at the end of the day, I am still the old me who enjoy dark content. In my opinion, the twist at the ending is so genius that it makes the movie even more messed up and takes the movie onto another level. It's like an O'Henry's ending, kind of unexpected but makes so much sense. *Spoiler* It reminds the audiences the cruel facts of wars and how all the children are victims. Their life should be filled with fairy tales. Ofelia puts herself into this fantasy. The ending makes the audiences realize that her fantasy doesn't exist. She died but this might be the best ending for her, because she went to her kingdom and became a princess. There are several scenes that gross me out (For instance, the general smashed the farmer's face with a wine bottle.), but overall, the visual effects are still beautiful which is really weird to say because of all the bloody scenes. I love how beautiful and smart this movie is. I wanna hug the faun too D; Rating: 9.2/10
