Initially disappointing at the box office, Labyrinth became a cult classic, and years later, talks of a sequel have heated up. The film employs make-up, animatronics, and CGI effects to bring life to its creatures.Labyrinth may be considered a classic now, but it was a long road to get to that point. Ofelia meets several strange and magical creatures who become central to her story, leading her through the trials of the old labyrinth garden. Ofelia's stepfather, the Falangist Captain Vidal, hunts the Spanish Maquis who fight against the Francoist regime in the region, while Ofelia's pregnant mother Carmen grows increasingly ill.
The film stars Ivana Baquero , Sergi Lpez , Maribel Verd , Doug Jones , and Ariadna Gil. 'The Labyrinth of the Faun ') is a 2006 dark fantasy 4 5 film written, directed and co-produced by Guillermo del Toro. Pan's Labyrinth (Spanish: El laberinto del fauno, lit. However, del Toro has stated that the faun in the film is not Pan. The original Spanish title refers to the fauns of Roman mythology, while the English, German and French titles refer specifically to the faun-like Greek deity Pan.
Pan's Labyrinth opened to widespread critical acclaim, with many praising the visual effects, direction, cinematography and performances. Pictures in Spain on 11 October and in Mexico on 20 October. The film was theatrically released by Warner Bros.
A large stick insect, which Ofelia believes to be a fairy, leads Ofelia into an ancient stone labyrinth, but she is stopped by Vidal's housekeeper Mercedes, who is secretly supporting her brother Pedro and other rebels. Vidal, the son of a famed commander who died in Morocco, believes strongly in Falangism and has been assigned to hunt down republican rebels. The king believes that eventually, her spirit will return to the underworld, so he builds labyrinths, which act as portals, around the world in preparation for her return.In 1944 Francoist Spain, ten-year-old Ofelia travels with her pregnant but sickly mother Carmen to meet Captain Vidal, her new stepfather. She becomes mortal and eventually dies.
After he erroneously murders two local farmers detained on suspicion of aiding the rebels, Vidal interrogates and tortures a captive rebel. Infuriated at her disobedience, the faun refuses to give Ofelia the third task.During this time, Ofelia quickly becomes aware of Vidal's ruthlessness in the course of hunting down the rebels. He devours two of the fairies and chases Ofelia, but she manages to escape.
Carmen agrees and throws the root into the fire. Vidal later catches Ofelia tending to the mandrake root, which he considers delusional. Realising that Ferreiro is a rebel collaborator, Vidal kills him.
The faun, having changed his mind about giving Ofelia a chance to perform the third task, returns and tells her to bring her newborn brother into the labyrinth to complete it. Mercedes frees herself, stabs Vidal, and re-joins the rebels. Ofelia, mistaken as a traitor, is locked in her bedroom, while Mercedes is taken to be interrogated and tortured.
Pedro then shoots Vidal dead.Mercedes enters the labyrinth and comforts a motionless but breathing Ofelia. Mercedes refuses, telling him that his son will not even know his name. Knowing that he will be killed, he hands the baby to Mercedes and asks that she tell his son the exact time of his death.
Ivana Baquero as Ofelia / Princess Moanna, a child who comes to believe she is the reincarnation of a princess from the underworld. Back in the stone labyrinth, Ofelia smiles as she dies in Mercedes' arms.The epilogue completes the tale of Princess Moanna, stating that she returned to the Underworld, ruled wisely for many centuries, and left quiet traces of her time in the human realm "visible only to those who know where to look." The Queen of the underworld, her mother, invites Ofelia to sit next to her father and rule at his side. The faun praises Ofelia for her choice, addressing her once more as "Your Highness". The King of the underworld tells her that, by choosing to spill her own blood rather than that of another innocent, she passed the final test. Ofelia, well dressed and uninjured, then appears in a golden throne room.
Sergi López as Captain Vidal, Ofelia's new stepfather and a Falange officer. She says she thought the film was "marvelous", and that "at the same time it can bring you pain, and sadness, and scariness, and happiness". But I loved her first reading, my wife was crying and the camera woman was crying after her reading and I knew hands down Ivana was the best actress that had shown up, yet I knew that I needed to change the screenplay to accommodate her age." Baquero says that Del Toro sent her many comics and fairy tales to help her "get more into the atmosphere of Ofelia and more into what she felt". (The film was shot from June–October 2005, when she was 11.) "The character I wrote was initially younger, about 8 or 9, and Ivana came in and she was a little older than the character, with this curly hair which I never imagined the girl having.
It is impossible to improve upon it the character is so solid and so well written. Of his character, López said: "He is the most evil character I've ever played in my career. In parts of Spain, López was considered a melodramatic or comedic actor, and the Madrid-based producers told Del Toro, "You should be very careful because you don't know about these things because you're Mexican, but this guy is not going to be able to deliver the performance" del Toro replied "Well, it's not that I don't know, it's that I don't care".
I think it is great that the film does not consider any justification of fascism." It would seem to be very cynical to use that to justify or explain his cruel and cowardly acts. Even though his father's personality marked his existence—and is certainly one of the reasons for his mental disorder—that cannot be an excuse.
Del Toro selected Verdú to play the compassionate revolutionary because he "saw a sadness in her which he thought would be perfect for the part".
