just finished watching Pan's Labyrinth (or El Laberinto del Fauno for the Mexican title). its really a good movie (no wonder it won 3 oscars and got numerous nominations). Compared to the other fantasy movie ive watched the other day (Bridge to Terabithia), i like this one more. Not that Bridge to Terabithia's a bad movie, actually it was good. it was just more of, well, "for the kids" type of movie. and i didnt get to read the book from which it was based, so i wasnt able to fully appreciate the movie.
as for Pan's Labyrinth, which is a fairy tale movie that's more for adults because of its "seriousness" and scenes that are a bit disturbing for a young audience (vivid depiction of acts of cruelty), this is really a good watch (or maybe im getting tired of American movies...which would explain why i enjoy British comedy recently, because im getting tired of American sitcoms). another thing i liked about it is that the movie is something that is out of the ordinary. its not that kind of movie that you get to see usually. the story, for me, is a bit original and i really liked the way it was made.
one of the actresses in the movie looked familiar because she also starred in Y tu mamá también
