    Pan's Labyrinth is a movie that says out loud "The worst things you can imagine are not as bad as fascism really was".

    Word of god is that the underworld (and supernatural things in general) is real and Ofelia is actually alive. Which is nice.

    Also The Devil's Backbone is a prequel starring two of the resistance soldiers and there will one day be a third movie.

    Saddest part of the movie is knowing what happens after the movie ends.

    Pan's Labyrinth is brilliant, beautiful, frightening.

    Can't believe the same guy made The Shape of Water. It tries to do cool things (and maybe some of the old-timey dance stuff just isn't for me), but it just ends up being ridiculous. Communists being literally against learning/murdering each other/being themselves easy to track and murder is just the cherry on top.

    When I first saw Pan's Labyrinth it was recently after it came out. I'd just hotboxed a shed with my friend for 4 hours. My main takeaway was "it's super cool that they invented their own language like Lord of the Rings elves". Probably helped that we'd torrented it and had no subtitles.

    I'll re-watch while not being mindnumbingly stoned (or while being mindnumbingly stoned but being a more mature, learned, stoned idiot)
