«Y se dice que la princesa descendió al reino de su padre y que ahí reinó con justicia y bondad por muchos siglos, que fue amada por sus súbditos y que dejó detrás de sí pequeñas huellas de su paso por el mundo, visibles sólo para aquel que sepa donde mirar...» I was killed by that quote at the end. Spectacular!
+Magno Gómez Me too. My dad bought the movie when I was little,and I walked in the room he was watching it,and the scene with the faceless man was on. I was terrified at that time because i was like 7 years old. I swore I'd never watch it. But I decided to watch it today and it was phenominal.
I've always loved this movie when I was a child, I think it was the sheer eeriness that drew me in. I knew it left a big mark on me, so I watched it again when I was much older, and when I finally grasp the whole meaning of the movie, I can't help but love it even more than ever. What a masterpiece.
I remember the day we put my dog down, it was just me and my dad becuase no one else could do it, and then he too left the room when they started, she was a beautiful dog, the kindest heart you’d find in any pup, and I didn’t know what to do except hug her and then I started humming this to her, I didn’t even remember what it was or from where and I wouldn’t find out until years later when I found this movie again but all I could do was hum this song into my friends ear while she passed away
Always comforted by this song .. A great big hug to everyone who often feels like they want to escape this world that happens to be too cruel to us sometimes.
I saw this movie in a writing class in my 2nd or 3rd year of college and we were all silent with varying displays of emotions once it ended. The professor has us compare and contrast realism with fantasy and write our papers on it. This was hard for me to pick a side but i chose that it was all true and not all in her head. One proof is how does she end up in the captains room if it wasnt for the chalk? She was being heavily guarded outside the room. Brilliant film. This lullaby stayed with me.
I remember rewatching this movie and at the intro they play the lullaby and instantly had tears at the very beginning and at the end hit even harder. I freaking love this movie!
I remember 11 year old me putting this into his computor for the first time and witnessing the magic and sadness of this film.... first movie to ever make me cry....
I'll never forget this movie and have never seen another like it. Absolutely beautiful in many ways and I'll never forget this lullaby I'll always love it.. 💖
So I've listened to the lullaby before but never actually got to watch the movie. But now that I've watched it, let me tell you I can't believe It took me so long to watch it. I got a pounding headache from crying so hard. Definitely a movie worth seeing.
The movie is so good and so sad. This song reminds me of when I was a kid I had this super good imagination and I imagined my dad was dying (he wasn't) and I cried in my 4th grade class. I'm not sure why i did that when I was younger lol. But anyways yeah this song and movie is super good.
Separation anxiety? When I was in grammar school, in the classroom in some occasions I imagined that after class I would arrive at home and find an empty house. I thought my mother would abandoned me. That made me sad and I cried too.
This movie is one of the best i have ever seen.. must watch ,damm it this movie is so beautiful and epic that i cant express,the story line up,the characters are just amazing.. it is indeed a masterpiece..
i watched this movie at a very young age and i don't remember what was it about. The only thing that I remembered was that monster with eyes on his hands so he can see (that was the most scary thing i ever saw) lol
same here I was sooo young when I watched it like it was just randomly on TV because everyone else in the family was watching it all I remember is the monster thing and the ending that's about it
Once, while I sat in between classes in a relatively empty building on my campus, I thought I heard strains of this song playing. Years ago, I had a habit of humming this song under my breath, so it's no surprise. But imagine my surprise when I pulled off my headphones to find out indeed, I HAD been hearing correctly. Somewhere, a cello was playing this exact melody. I investigated later and learned no one had been playing anything in the hall that day. No one had been playing this movie. In fact, the music building was on the opposite side of campus. Makes you wonder.
Anyone wants to get rid of his her mistakes or regrets ? This lullaby brings me such an unbelievale piece whenever I need to. It's like a mother that waits me all the time and with all my disappointments 🙏
This was my first spanish movie I watched it 3 days ago, I normally watch Korean and American/UK films but this Spanish film was amazing and so sad :( I would watch it again. Definitly recommend it! I will be looking for other spanish films to watch now :D (The fairies were cute)
We have very good and sad dramas and movies in spain, the best drama of all times is Pulseras Rojas (Red Band Society) You should watch it, you will cry like there's no tomorrow ;w; Btw Exo fighting
The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters. Regrettably, those monsters leave a lot of innocent victims in their wake. Births are often a bloody affair.
I'm using it put my bf thats in the hospital right now . he got into a serious accident and now has brain damage , I used to him it to hum it to him before we went to bed so now when he wakes up fom sedation and starts to storm (for those of you who don't know what stroming is , its when your brain is going 1000 mph and your whole body tenses up like a reflex and you stare out into space and your heart rate goes up really high and your unresponsive and unaware to anything) I hum it to him and massage his feet and he calms down and falls back asleep . with out this Lullaby idk what would help calm him down . ty pans labyrinth
In my opinion, I think that in this movie this actually happened to her. It wasn't her imagination. I think that her dad sent angels (the fairies) to protect her so she can find her way to heaven. that's why the fairies protected her and always stayed by her side.
I think after watching this finale, I might just watch this episode again as a cleanser and a reminder of what GOT was, and how it shall be preserved in my memory, never mind the perversion that is Seasons 7 and 8.
I have been humming this to myself all day, and I couldn't place what it was from. At almost 1:30am, it hits me, and I'm here now...it's like it was calling me...to destroy my feels.
"And it is said that the princess returned to her fathers kingdom. That she reigned there with justice and a kind heart for many centuries. That she was loved by her people. And that she left small traces of her time on earth. Visible only to those who know where to look."
@@inkyelpequenodiabloangel4417 Things that can’t be seen don’t mean they’re not around, we have to really believe or we only see what we think is a rational explanation, for example we see something that looks like a tiny fairy 🧚🏼♀️ but in that split second we automatically think 🤔 na it must’ve been a horsefly or a butterfly 🦋and we go on our way🤷🏻♀️the world and life is more than we think we know 🪄😌
How would they do some of the scenes though? Like the frog or the Pale Man, that would be terrifyingly beautiful if they pulled it off. The ballet fairy a dancing around the pale man trying to protect the girl, as they all fall ;~;

The first time I watched this, I thought it was gonna be like a creepier version of Alice in Wonderland, I had never had anyone explain it to me, I saw the title, I saw the Pale Man a couple places, I heard the lullaby and for spme reason i just thought it would be a fun but creepy magival journey. Holy SHIT was I wrong. I was sitting in bed crying while watching this on my laptop.
I truly love how this movie incorporates fantasy to illustrate what happens when one's reality is a misery. I especially enjoy the fact that her ultimate escape was death; she might have died, but she was finally able to make her fantasy a reality, and actually enjoy this reality..such a masterful piece of art, this movie...
How so many monsters today "enjoys" destroing others- and leave them in misurey- for thier sick ego. Life is so sad for so many humen- because of those unmerciful demons. ° °
Actually, Guillermo del Toro said he included clues to let the viewer know that the fantasy was real the whole time; so while the only way Ofelia was able to go there was through death it was not just her imagination.
@@laboun6227 I've learnt this the hard way. I've recieved spoilers for books like Anna Karenina and Jane Eyre and films like The Sixth Sense, 500 Days Of Summer, etc. Moral of the story - Before watching the film do not read the comments on ANY trailer, score video, movie review, etc. and certainly avoid video essays.
why do people complain about subtitles?? are they soooo lazy to read? I remember i told someone to watch another spanish speaking movie and she was like "why would I see that when I can watch other movies in Eglish?" OMG!!! Whoever appreciates this art will watch a good movie in any language...
Definitly.. I have to say, at first I was a little upset that it wasn't in english, but this movie made me cry like a little baby. Was beautiful, didn't matter that it was in spanish.
Servant of Alucard it was important to the Director that it was made in his Language. The films he gets paid to direct for the US studios he does in English, but his own movies are all his language. Cronos, Devil's Backbone (I don't remember the Spanish title sorry), and this one too :)
Devil's backbone is also amazing!! And don't worry, for all those ignorant people who miss incredible cinema like this there's those of us that do appreciate good films and embrace different cultures and languages, and like a little more "reading" in order to have it as the original format.
Ludwig van beethoven Watching a dubbed film is also a disrespect to the work of the original actors and even the director tbh. The only dubbed films I watch in my language now are animated ones, and even those I watch more and more in english
Mari B. I'm a Spanish guy who sees everything in the original language, don't be so lazy because you miss half of the emotion if you see anything dubbed
Hearing this for the 1st time: "Wow, this sounds very beautiful..." Hearing it after watching the film: "AH!!!! I CAN'T HEAR THIS WITHOUT CRYING!!!! HELP ME!!!!"
I completely agree and also have this memory of these absolute monsters using this soundtrack in a fairy themed p0rn for some reason so it's extra mentally destabilizing
This movie is a masterpiece! It's a must-see for everyone, regardless of what genre you prefer. It moved me on such a deep level that I don't think I'll be able to re-watch it in near future. Damn, I didn't think it would be so hard to listen to this lullaby again.
"It's a very dark fairytale that will not make your life any richer. You will not learn something or grow from watching this." That's something you can't possibly know for other people. All you can say is that it didn't made your own life any richer, that you didn't learn or grow from watching this. Which is perfectly fine, btw.
Yes it is full of gore and violence. But that is one of the most important aspects of the film, as it is because of this backdrop of violence and evil that Ofelia feels she has to escape into her fantasy world. It wouldn't work if she was living in peace and harmony somewhere. That's why it works so well for me - the fantasy (or is it?) of the faun and the princess is ironically the only thing that keeps Ofelia from being driven to despair by the pain and suffering around her. That is one of the reasons this has become possibly my favourite film of all time.
Hear my whisper in the night, for together we shall dream, we could dance among the moon and stars - among the light… Can you hear the music, love? Can you feel it in your soul? We could dance among the moon and stars - among the light … Feel - my beating heart- it longs for you - my love. ~***~
I still remember in my junior year AP Spanish class, my teacher had us watch Pan's Labyrinth in class. It took us the entire period but we watched. This is a classroom full of almost entirely 16-18 year old seniors (aside from myself, a junior and 2 sophomores)....and we were all reduced to tears by the end of the movie.
When the movie ends, no one is standing and leaving. Everyone just sat there crying and mesmerized by this breathtaking movie. If only I can unwatch it just so I can watch this again for the first time. This lullaby always strike me as sad and somber yet hopeful and empowering. A complicated feeling that moves your heart and pump your tears out to wash everything impure off of your chest.
I think in order to truly understand and feel the weight of this movie you have to have gone through some kind of deep emotional pain. You have to identify with the desperate wish to leave the cruel fucked up world you're living in and escape into a fantasy. That's when the power of this movie really hits you
This is one of the saddest and most beautiful films I have ever seen. Without a doubt that Del Toro is a genius along with Alfonso Cuaron and Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu. Three of the best directors Mexico has produced.
Come to bed and close your eyes. Now it's time to say goodnight, So that you may dream of lands, great lands, beyond our own. Faun will come to take you there, Fairies fly and touch your hair. Joyfully the sing their songs of your return back home. Dream, Dream that one day You'll find your way Back home. Then you will be, Right here with me, Back home. Sleep, sleep, and dream.
a doleful chant herding the innocent towards a blissful world. An enchanting whisper distracting us from the harsh reality in which we are forced to breath in and building a fantasy with each of the three note base of the this lullaby. The hero of Pan's labyrinth embraces this new fantasy so seamlessly that we must wonder about the silent soundtrack that fuels the quest that children often undertake. Is this fantasy really an escape from a lonesome world? Or is loneliness what one might choose in order to block oneself from the atrocities of this world. All this is conveyed in the beautiful, innocent voice that leads this tragic theme. By the time the strings come in at 1:23, we are reminded that this fantasy plays out in the backdrop of something terrible that coincides with the major plots of one's fantasy. Hearing the cannon can be the overwhelming sound of doom or the powerful herald that precedes a majestic deity. One's marathon can be a gruesome labor pushing the body towards it limit or a spiritual moment of meditation in which life takes form within the 1-2-3-4-5 steps lent to the infinite horizon. What truly saddens us is the same plot device forced tears as we watch the movie La Vita es Bella. The tragic choral inspired end of 1:50 makes it clear that while we rejoice that the innocent remain innocent through the illusion that paints tragedy into beautiful colors, we nonetheless are aware of the tragedy that unfolds. That one of the magic of great soundtrack, we accept to feel the sadness that the character is oblivious to. We suffer from being privy to the scathing secrets that we pray will never sour the hero's(heroine) smile. What might this lullaby represents? As it starts, it's hard not to ponder on the loneliness it suggests. Some roads are meant to be taken alone while some quests require one to risk one's life for what seems a mere folly. Some adventures shake one's thought's foundation and compel us to reconsider the very pillars of our reality. One step at a time, led by no one than what fuels us, with each of the three note piano base, bricks are being laid, a new lens on life reveals different colors in which a door is sketched. Will we indulge in this fantasy? Will we accept rebirth and wear this new skin. Is this adventure worth taking?
Gerard Beaubrun You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Beautiful words. We need more people like you in this world. Maybe then we'd see salvation in each other instead of destruction.
Skyshroud Sylvan i'm truly humbled by the fact that you took your time to write me. I will continue on this path and hopefully read more from you. be well and enjoy this day, month, year and life
To think that Guillermo struggled to make this movie and it came together so flawlessly, it was well worth the struggle. The soundtrack, the story, the characters - you've gotta hand it to him. He's one of a kind
I refuse to believe that the fantasy was real rather than in ofelia's head, It just fits better with the themes of this movie. Ofelia created a mystical land that she could escape to and forget about everything that was going on in her life.
I just wish they cut the part where she sees her father and mother. Imagine if they never showed that and the last thing you see before she dies is that quick smile that she does. That would have absolutely destroyed people and made the ending feel more sad.
