Just saw Pan's Labyrinth wiv Rasta Samanta. Im not gonna give you a review...I dont do reviews...this was my reaction to it. I'll post lots of nice pics of it tho FUCK UR FRIENDS PAGE! THIS IS IMPORTANT!
BITCH THAT FILM IS HARSH!!
Now I dont like gore in films, I dont like horror films either. Ok so its not a horror but mofos its well twisted boarderline!! It even goes Silent Hill for a bit...
JESUS MOTHER OF CHRIST!!!!
Ok so I thought it'd be dark, but like a darker version of Labyrinth...sans Bowie...Or like A series of Unfortunate Events...You know what I mean...I also thought it'd be in English! OH HOW VERY WRONG I WAS! I also didnt think it'd be a 15....
MUTHER FUCKER!!!!
So its about this girl, Ofelia who loves fairy tales, her and her preggers mother go and live with the stepdad whos a fascist Spanish wanker military man. Bad bad bad things happen and Ofelia descovers (or make believes) that shes the soul of the daughter of the king of the underworld and that she'll be led home if she completes 3 tasks. First of all this film isnt about the tasks she has to do...the adventure and so on, the fantasy rides side by side with this harsh story of war, cruelty and torture. The main metaphor/point to the story is to question weather the magic is real or if Ofelia is losing herself is fantasy to escape her harsh reality.
Tho Sam and me still plugged our ears and shut our eyes 3 or 4 times during the film we both really really enjoyed it. The look of it was increadible, and it was obviously very cleverly written. Tbh I think its one of the best films Ive seen in a long while.
In other news, I fell up the staires today :'( Like properly flat-on-face jobbie...Ok I know I'm an utter ditz whereever I go..but it seems to be magnafied x10000 at work.
