What do you think the ending means?? Is it a tragedy? Or a fantasy ending??

@roo1014 2 года назад

I personally interpret the ending as what it visually looks like. She died but got to be a princess in the fairy world. Showing how good people go to the best places in death

@StoryMing 2 года назад

It's purposely left to the viewer to decide for themselves whether the magic is real or all in her head. Though DelToro himself says he has yet to hear a better explanation for how Ofelia gets out, and how the chalk ends up in the Captain's desk drawer.

@andreamagana4757 2 года назад

The great thing about this movie is that there are different ways to interpret the ending: everything could have been in Ofelia’s mind because she needed the magical escape so much, or everything was real but people like Capitán Vidal couldn’t see the faun (the magic) because there was no innocence or wonder left in him. It’s an amazing film, definitely Guillermo del Toro’s masterpiece.

@CodeeXD 2 года назад

I think the movie kind of leans more towards the latter because it showed the fairy in it's bug form at the end. But I guess it could have also just been a really weird bug. Oh shit. Lmao

@bscllyali 2 года назад

Fun fact: Del Toro has actually said he put 3 main clues to show and prove us that none of it happened in Ofelia's mind, when in fact, everything was actually real: 1) The fact that a flower bloomed on a "dead" branch 2) When Ofelia put the Mandrake root under her mother's bed, her body responded that and she started to recover immediately 3) The chalk. When Ofelia was locked up in her room by captain Vidal, there was no other way to get out so she used the chalk and could manage to escape. After that, when Mercedes entered the room to get Ofelia, she turned around and saw that door drawing on the wall which proves the chalk was real.

Spanish Civil War ended in 1939, after that, fascists took over the country. The "rebels" in the forest were called Maquis, they kept fighting Franco and the fascists for years. My grandparents fougth in this war (losers side, against fascists). Most actors here are from Catalonia (so am I) including Sergi López (the captain) who, believe it or not, is an amazing comedian (I've seen him a few times on stage, couldnt stop laughing). Oh, and fun fact: I met Guillermo del Toro once (Sitges Fantàstic Film Festival), I asked him for an autograph and he drew his portrait for me, such a nice guy!

@goodaimshield1115 2 года назад

One of the main problems with the Spanish civil war is the oversimplification of the franquoists as "fascists", it was far more complicated. The overwhelming majority of those fascists were just liberals who just happened to live at a time in which choosing a side was almost compulsory. Sure, there were fascists as well, but the gross of the "franqoist" side was not made of fascists, that was just war propaganda and discourse, just like franqoist would just call the other side comunists (though there was a serious threat with the URRS trying to make Spain a Russian satelite). The first part of Franco's dictatorship though, was indeed a Fascoist regime.

@nickmanzo8459 2 года назад

Pan is the Greek god of mischief. Del Toro has stated that the actual title is “The Labyrinth of the Faun” as, Pan is actually a satyr, not a faun, and as such, he’d be too sexual in nature to include in this story, but the studio chose that name as Pan is more well known to English speaking audiences.

@whitenoisereacts 2 года назад

This is pretty cool

@Nateiliand 2 года назад

In Spanish it is called 'The Labyrinth of the Faun': el Laberinto del Fauno, I was curious about the reason why in english it was called different.

@walkerlocker6126 2 года назад

Yeah, del Toro probably realized people would be analyzing the story with all the symbolism and whatnot, and didn't want anyone deciding there was a sexual element simply because a satyr was involved. I mistakenly keep calling him Pan and satyr but I know it's technically a faun

The Devils Backbone is another masterpiece of Del Toro that he did after his horrible experience making Mimic in 1997 for an American studio made him go back to Mexico for this 2000 somber, tragic ghost story. I would put Devils Backbone equal to Pan's Labyrinth. You should also watch his first theatrical feature, 1993s Chronos, Del Toros underrated vampire story.

@SillyPom 2 года назад

"Crimson Peak" was *so* mis-marketed (as most of Del Toro's films have been) in the U.S. It is absolutely striking though. The same goes for "The Shape of Water," which is just a straight up loving tribute to old classic monster movies with Del Toro's own trademark touch. Oh god, "The Devil's Backbone" though is one of the saddest, most soul-stirring ghost stories put to screen. You thought the lullaby from this movie is haunting? I can't even think of the poem from "Backbone" without choking up. 🥲

@lexusgarces9448 2 года назад

I used to love it for the ambiguity too, Del toro actually verified in an interview that his intention was for it to be real not ambiguous (from the blossom at the end, and the fact that ofelia couldn’t have left her room without the chalk door), but I think that makes it even more fun. The whole time you’re bouncing back and forth unsure whether she’s imagining all of these things to escape from her reality, and getting bread crumbs that keep you on the hook of “well maybe it could be real?” from the root working, and Mercedes mentioning the faun. One of my absolute favorites.

Hitler helped the Spanish Fascist regime come to power in the Spanish Civil War (often referred to as The Dress rehearsal for WWII). Hitler claimed he was sending “volunteers” to help Francisco Franco come to power, but in actuality, they were seasoned German military soldiers who were basically trying out their newly developed Blitzkrieg ideas to see how effective they’d be against the rest of Europe. Once Franco was in power, Hitler pulled out, leaving Franco to take care of the rebel partisans in his own country. He sat out WWII claiming neutrality, and only survived past the war by targeting Communists to stay in the good graces of the Allied Powers in Europe and the US.

@Foksuh 2 года назад

@juancarlosaguilarromero7085 Год назад

A lot of people don't like the portrayal of the fascists in this movie but there is something they don't know. Originally, "The Devil's Backbone" and "Pan's Labyrinth" were going to take place in Mexico during the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) but Del Toro did not find the financial support to make them in Mexico and finally he got Spanish studios to finance the films but they conditioned him that the films had to take place in Spain. And the scripts were adapted to the circumstances of Spain, with its failures and coincidences.

@sluggardly 2 года назад

One of the things I love about del Toro's films (especially the originals like this, The Shape of Water, Crimson Peak, The Devil's Backbone), is that the creatures are so effectively unsettling, otherworldly, alien, and more than a little terrifying...but the *monsters* are always human.

@TheDaringPastry1313 2 года назад

This movie makes you choose how you want to see it and I love that about it. If you are skeptical, then she just dies and it's all escapism from her horrible life, or you could view it all as real and her fantasy is real.

@Aaron-fr9gi 2 года назад

ok, so i believe this movie is based on the spanish civil war, after the victory of the dictator Francisco Franco in 1939. A few things so you can understand a bit more of the historical context: the left side of the politics are called republicans (even when a lot of the members of that political wing weren't all republicans, they were anarchists and communists too) and the right side are called conservatives or fascists or anything like that

@susannariera 2 года назад

Fascists, rebels at firsr, since they started the war against the legit republican goverment.

@JC2023HD Год назад

This Spanish fascism was called falangismo. The dictator was referred to as Generalísimo Franco. His regime is called franquismo. I think Franco died in 1979 and the heir to his rule was the King of Spain.

@katleona2101 2 года назад

I'm so proud of Guillermo del Toro, as a fellow Mexican seeing his work and how he has stayed true to himself over the years is very inspiring. This is one of my absolute favorite films, I love the use of green in the color palette, the uncertainty of the Pan's true intentions, Mercedes's journey, honestly love how violence was used... and overall the unexpected story and turn of events, WOW. I recommend "El espinazo del Diablo" and "The Orphanage" by Guillermo. Hugs to both of you!

@the_nikster1 2 года назад

this is one of my favorite movies of all time! I believe that although the ending is likely up to interpretation, the magic is real. here is my evidence: 1) the mandrake was beginning to help Ofelia's mother get better. when Ofelia's mother throws the mandrake into the fire, only then does she begin to have further complications in her pregnancy. up until that point, her health was beginning to improve. 2) Ofelia was supposed to be locked in her room. how, then, was she able to get into the Captain's office to drug him and take her brother? simple: she used the chalk to draw a door and escape. 3) when Ofelia is running from the Captain into the Labyrinth, the walls open up for her and she escapes to the center of the Labyrinth. moments later, the Captain runs by and the walls have mysteriously closed up and the Captain has lost her in the Labyrinth. now some may wonder how it is that the Captain cannot see Ofelia when she is speaking with the Faun. this is easily explainable: adults cannot see magic because they have lost their innocence and no longer believe. ❤️

@whitenoisereacts 2 года назад

Yeah that’s fair! I think I agree with u

@walkerlocker6126 2 года назад

Plus he is the villain, both in the fantasy world and the real world. Creatures and magic on the side of good are sometimes invisible to villains in these stories, since he is not only no longer innocent, but outright evil. They would not reveal their world to him. At least that is my interpretation!

Eventually he caved in and directed Prisoner of Azkaban.

@kiddisley5890 Год назад

Everything must have actually happened. Since people question if ofelia is an unreliable narrator, you have to look at life around her. 1. The dying tree is shown to be healthy again only after ofelia dealt with the giant toad. She was muddy which was seen by others meaning she actually went down there and no child would know how to cure a tree just by going down there. 2. An adult doctor couldnt figure out how ofelias mother was getting better and once she threw ofelias mandrake root into the fire she died. This is pretty clearly magical influence, ofelia would have no idea otherwise how to cure her mother in such a way and the timing of her death cant be coincidence. 3. The various things ofelia does with chalk. Getting out of rooms that are completely locked.

He is! The movie tells us -- the only monster in this movie that does what movie monsters do (Hunting, tormenting, and brutalizing innocent people) is Vidal. All of the really awful gore in this movie is either directly inflicted by Vidal or the result of his actions. Del Toro uses the visual language of the horror genre to directly point a finger at Vidal so that even in a movie where the Pale Man could be real, we in the audience are the most afraid of the fascist.

"What's Pan's Labyrinth?" Pan is the ancient Greek god of nature, shepherds. and flocks. He is also depicted with the Pan flute. The name "Pan" is a western interpretation of the title. That half goat/ram and human character in this movie is simply a faun. This movie is one of my favorites because I was heavily into ancient Greek and Roman pantheons when I was in high school, so it brought me back to that time.

If I recall my Shakespeare correctly, Ophelia was a character from Hamlet that was considered mentally ill and possibly insane, so I usually interpret this movie as a girls fantasy that, combined with her real life circumstances, became an escape that she got lost in. Pan was a character from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Nights Dream (also known as Puck), and was a fairy and a mischief maker, and if you assume that the faun is in her mind, you can assume her last run through the labyrinth was her last stage of getting lost in her mind and her fantasy taking complete control of her reality. Thats just my take tho.

Like the doctor with the Captain, Ofelia chose not to listen to Pans orders for the sake of following orders. She used her morals, knowing it was not right and put herself in harm's way to save an innocent life. Unlike the Nazis who blindly followed orders without thinking if it was right or wrong. She chose not to obey. The last and ultimate test to see if she was worthy. Cool how the guy who played the doctor was her father, the King too. Adored this movie when it came out. Got a tat of the Pale Man. Del Toro's movies are always amazing.

That thunder ASMR really added a whole new level XD I will say that I watched this movie for the first time at way too young of an age to understand what was "fiction" and what was "reality". It was a really entertaining movie, and I love watching it now that I am older. Thank you for getting into the world of del Toro! Perhaps "Pacific Rim" or "Crimson Peak" next? *oversharing below* I saw this movie when I was 9 or 10. As the eldest child of my family, Ofelia trying to comfort her pregnant mother and keep the baby safe at all costs messed me up. My mom was pregnant with her third child (my baby sister) when I saw the movie and she had a difficult pregnancy, so I was freaked out and tried to read stories to the baby while my mom was resting. Once my sister was born I had terrible separation anxiety because I was convinced my mom would "disappear" (how I reconciled dying at that age) and I would have to protect my sister as Ofelia did; from what I had to protect her, I'm not sure, seeing as my dad is amazing and is in no way like Captain Vidal. However, my mom and my sister were totally fine, and I calmed down after a month or so. I am glad that my parents didn't dismiss my fears, and like Mercedes did for Ofelia, tried to humor me by letting me stay home from school so I could be near my mom and moved my bed in the nursery so I could sleep near my sister. Anyway, I've always wondered if anyone else saw the movie when they were young and experienced similar impacts.

del toro is known for his fascination in the retelling of fairytales! i love that, despite the many “typical” fairytale factors (like the 3 tasks, fairies etc), it still manages to subvert your expectations. from what i know, del toro aimed to make it a disobedient story, with ofelia denying what everyone asks of her throughout. his ability to combine history with fairytales is absolutely amazing!!! love this film :D

One of the greatest fary tales of our age. Dude, the Pale Man might be the scariest monster of recent cinema, but Captain Vidal is far more evil and dangerous, at least the monster had a trigger, the captain is always on killing mode. Humans at war are scarier than any fantasy monster. This movie is amazing, the music, the practical effects, the storytelling, Del Toro at his finest. Please dive into his lesser known work, films like, The Devil's Backbone, Cronos and even Mimic. You're great, guys, keep it awesome!

The horror is what human beings do. The Spanish at the end looks like 'The Labyrinth of the Faun'. The English name may be a translation choice.

@juliaselin8121 2 года назад

The thing that makes the ending so interesting is the fact that the captain is under the influence. We know Ofelia can see the faun, but we can’t really trust what the captain sees.

When I was in Grade 12 my Spanish class had twelve 18-year-old girls and one male Spanish teacher who was really nice, so we always convinced him to let us watch my copy of Pan's Labyrinth in class. I think we saw it maybe 5 times in one semester, he just made us watch it without subtitles sometimes. I also convinced him to let us watch The Orphanage, which we probably shouldn't have been watching in school lol. I love this movie.

It's so awesome that you guys are going through a lot of Del Toro movies. Pan's Labyrinth may be difficult to watch a second time but it's alright coz sticks in the brain anyway. BTW, the circular maze that was filled with blood in the end was also used in Hellboy when Ilsa brought Rasputin back to life.

@Sway22 2 года назад

To answer your question it's "Pan's Labyrinth" because the Faun was called Pan. It's a refference to greek/roman mythology where god of nature was a satyr/faun named Pan. Also you should watch "The Last Unicorn"!

Del Toro himself said that the magic was real, and she did go home, she was the princess. The chalk door was the most obvious magic in comparison to everything else, not having a logical answer to rationalize it. My brother and I both watched this, and he too saw the ending as very sad, thinking she died and there was no magic, until I told him what Del Toro had intended.

@Areyoudelulu 2 года назад

I didn't see the connection before, but now I see it. The pale-skinned monster sitting at a table full of food is literally the captain who was guarding his supplies. He is cruel, he eats fairies and kills the children in the painting. In life, the captain is the same cruel killer. The magical world, like the wrong side of reality. Even it is cruel, but reality is even more cruel. Therefore, Ophelia trying escapes from reality. But in both worlds she is enclosed in a labyrinth. It's very sad and geniously at the same time.

@White Noise Reacts It just struck me, when you mentioned about Ofelia getting essentially the cheat code through the labyrinth at the end, and the stepdad finding his way to the middle, it made me wonder.....if he had been to the center of the labyrinth as a kid, believing in the myths and never saw anything when he got there. I might be overhumanizing a terrible character, which he certainly was, but it feels like there's something there. Regarding the mandrake root that Ofelia used under her mother's bed, there's a good bit of lore behind the root in folk magic. It's believed that if you uproot it, it will shriek. so powerfully, that the sound will kill the person trying to uproot it. That's why when it's mentioned in Harry Potter, the students have to wear earmuffs when handling it. According to a gardening site I found "Small quantities of mandrake may produce hallucinations or out-of-body experiences. However, this member of the nightshade family is highly toxic and all parts of the plant can be deadly.Centuries ago, however, women believed this bizarre-looking plant could induct conception, and baby-shaped roots were placed under the pillow. Uses for mandrake included predicting the future and offering protection for soldiers going into battle." Which makes it's use in this story all the more meaningful. Also, this story reminds me of the unabridged Grimm Fairy Tales, which are dark as hell. Those are the ones I grew up on, and they are a whole other level.

@echo.echo08 Год назад

29:31 I was so frustrated with Ofelia eating the fruits when she had been distinctly told not to do so. She even repeated that specific rule to herself before entering the magic door and the fairies were keeping her from eating so she couldn't have forgotten that quickly. I don't know if there is a lore or if it was suggested in the movie that the food is too irresistable that it makes people stupidly forget the rule but it's so sad to see the fairies die because of her action.

@RitsychServare Год назад

You probably missed the part where one of the fairies also tricked her into opening the lock which the key didn't work. So after that, Ofelia became distrustful of them and she went to try one of the grapes. She didn't eat anything before that so she was too starving to thinking straight.

@batmanvsjoker7725 Год назад

Fun little anecdote: Guillermo Del Toro attended the premiere with Stephen King sitting next to him. When they got to the infamous Pale Man scene, even Stephen freaking King shivered. The scene scared the king of horror! Del Toro said it was better than winning an Oscar.

@marykay8587 2 года назад

Del Toro left it up to a personal interpretation for themselves The rabbit trapper scene came from a personal experience from his childhood.... The Paleman comes from a mythical creature in Japanese folklore but it also took a spin from Saturn devouring his son.... Yes, it is set in Spain's civil war thus famine was widespread which is why the tablespread spread was a temptation . Del Toro wanted to make this movie for years. He lost his manuscript in a cab but thankfully the cabbie returned them to make this movie possible.... BTW, the mandrakes were also in Harry! Potter! 😃

@NetanelWorthy 2 года назад

While the movie definitely leaves whether the fantasy world was real or not open to interpretation, there are quite a lot of signs that point to it being real. First, Vidal locked Ofelia in her room. There was no way she could access Vidal’s office if it wasn’t for “magic”. She used the chalk to draw a door and Mercedes saw those lines when she came back for her. Second, when Vidal was chasing Ofelia in the labyrinth, she actually reached a dead end and that’s why Vidal had to turn around. She was able to get away, because the walls magically opened and closed again after she got in. Third, the flower that blossoms at the end. According to the narrator, the princess left traces of her existence on Earth, but they were only visible to those who know where to look. In other words, not everyone is able to spot “magic” where it exists, that might also explain why Vidal was unable to see the faun.

@gabriellagonzalez1149 2 года назад

If you guys like the movie, you should read the novelization that's written by Guillermo del Torro and Cornelia Funk. We get a lot more lore of the Labyrinth, the Underworld, and Vidal. It's a good, chilling read that once I finish the e-book, I may get a physical copy.

@flor8567 2 года назад

Guillermo del Toro loves film and monsters so much and you can see it in all his works and how he talks about it. English speaking audiences should take a dip into his Spanish movies. The Devil's Backbone is my personal favorite and is set during the Spanish Civil War.

@Zumbadorcito 2 года назад

Pan's Labyrinth is part a series Guillermo has done as interpretations of the Spanish Civil War, seen from the eyes of children and how they all cope with trauma and loss by escaping/defending themselves in a world that didn't care that they were children. The Captain represented the avarice and vanity of a growing fascist force, while Ofelia represented the childlike innocence and strength to fight against him and save her brother. Also, the imagery is very feminine in representing Ofelia's wants in being close to her mother and holding onto her dreams and imagination. If you like this film, go ahead and watch 'The Devil's Backbone', the first in the series, and maybe one day Guillermo will do the third film to round off the series one day.

„I know there are creepy elements in it“ man getting his skull crushed in brutally with bottle in such an over the top graphic way🥹💀 but I think Guillermo del Torro did say that for him at least the magic was indeed real but he also said that he doesn’t want to explicitly say that’s definitely how it is and he really likes the idea of the viewer choosing which ending they prefer. I gotta say this movie has some of the best practical effects I’ve ever seen! That’s what I absolutely love Guillermo del Torro movies for! Using as little Cgi as possible gives his movies an extremely realistic look and an even more eerie feeling to it. That’s what for example made the Harry Potter movies so awesome and realistic as well and in comparison of visual effects better then the Fantastic Beasts movies. I really wish we could go back to that kind of „practical work“ because newer movies do lack authenticity more and more often in my opinion. And Doug Jones is just absolutely incredible! The performance he is always able to deliver in these crazy costumes (The Faun/ Pan as well as the Pale Monster) absolutely awesome! He is Hollywood‘s man behind the masks - it’s like no one knows his face but his performances stick with you and are iconic! He also played Abe Sapien in the Hellboy movies as well as the Silver Surfer in Fantastic Four or the Amphibian Man in Shape of Water as well as many many other remarkable characters in various famous horror and fantasy movies 🙏🏻

Generally my personal belief is that the story is all her imagination, as a way to deal with the horrors she's seen. This might be because I have worked with children for so long and know how powerful their imaginations can be and how it can help them cope with trauma. But then there are days, days where I am feeling more positive about the world, where I see the ending as entirely real and that that beautiful soul was saved at the last minute. Whether it's real or not, what is definitely real is that her brother is safe because of her and Mercedes might not tell the boy about his father, but she will definitely tell him about his amazing sister.
