“Pan’s Labyrinth” Collecting Three Oscars

“Pan’s Labyrinth” is a Spanish-language movie presenting a very interesting and technically well realized junction: a union between the cruel post-war fascist regime in Spain and a fantastic, fabulous world created by a very sad, lonely and pure little girl. Being realized by the Mexican film-maker Guilermo del Toro, who realized other famous movies like “Mimic” (1997), “Blade II” and “Hellboy”, the movie has been able to transmit a message in a very interesting and sensitive manner.

“Pan’s Labyrinth” or “El Laberinto del Fauno” on its original Spanish title has won three Oscars: one in the Achievement in Art Direction category, the second in the Achievement in Art Cinematography and the third in the Achievement for Makeup category. Indeed, allegory is a maybe the nicest and most sensitive way to stress on the cruel but true realities of life and war and, indeed, the makeup of those beasts and fantastic creatures succeeded in transmitting feelings and also the message of the movie.

“Pan’s Labyrinth” realizes a very delicate stage on which the primordial and never-ending battle between good and evil is being placed. Fascism remains a plague on world’s face and there is never too late to emphasize what totalitarian regimes mean for the human souls.
