Movie: "El Laberinto del fauno" (2006)

I saw this film about a year ago. At first, I was unsure about what was really gonna be in it. I had barely read the plot, and at first I was a bit confused. However, the more fantasy elements that was involved, the more I managed to relax and just slip into the world of magic happenings.


This time I was prepared for what was coming, I really just wanted my fiancé to see this piece of film, 'cuz it's actually one of the better fantasy movies I've seen.

The plot? For those too stressed to take a peak on the IMDb summary? Well, a young girl is on her way to a mill in the country-side with her mother; who's carrying the evil captain's baby. This man is like evil itself, something that Ofelia soon will notice. She escapes into the world of fantasy beings. Ferries, faunos, and living roots is not stranger than fiction. My fiancé thought it was weird that Ofelia didn't get shit scared already when the first ferry popped into the picture. Hmm, a good question. Perhaps because children hasn't become to strictly directed into what's real and what's not.

However, this is a really great film that everyone should see.
