Chapter 634： cold light into fairy tales

In the end, the captive said everything...

At night, the shepherd who got the report from the fairy rushed to Ophelia's room and yelled, saying that you have fouled, you have failed, you can't go back, you can stay there forever.

Ophelia cried out of the accusation.

Halfway through, Captain Vader found a tree root spirit from under his mother's bed, and was even more furious.

This time even my mother didn't want to hear Ophelia's explanation.

The mother said sadly, "One day you will know that life is not always as beautiful as a fairy tale."

After all, Captain Vader threw the root spirit into the fireplace.

The scorching flames devoured the tree root spirit, and the tree root spirit screamed mournfully.

Ophelia was in tears as she watched all this happen.

Later, Captain Vader found the doctor, looked at him and said, why don't you obey me?

The doctor has no fear, looks at each other bravely, and obeys regardless of right or wrong. Only a person like you can do it.

Outside, it was raining heavily.

With a gunshot, the doctor fell to the ground, and the blood mixed with the rain to wash the ground wantonly.

As for Messiti, she was already locked up.

And the reason why the doctor didn't leave was because the day of his wife's childbirth had come.

This night, Carmen was stimulated to produce ahead of schedule.

The nurses who delivered the deliveries had little experience and were in a hurry to help.

Ophelia waited outside the door with tears in her eyes, but she only waited for the news that her younger brother was born and her mother died.

This place was so cold to the little girl, and it took Ophelia's last support mercilessly.

The little girl stayed in the room alone, her brows were wrinkled, and there was no smile anymore.

But at this moment, the Faun appeared again, and said that Ophelia was given one last chance, and that was to carry her brother into the depths of the labyrinth.

Ophelia listened to her heart, waited until no one was around, drew a door on the wall with chalk, and sneaked into Captain Vader's room.

Unexpectedly, Captain Vader was dealing with the wound in the room. When he was interrogating Messiti, the corner of his mouth was cut by a small dagger that Messiti kept.

Ophelia waited, waited, and finally found an opportunity. While Captain Vader was about to rest, she picked up her brother and left.

But this kind of movement was also discovered by Captain Vader.

One of the two ran and the other chased. In the chaos, the rebel army arrived, and the camp was instantly breached, and the sky was full of fire.

Messiti also returned to the room to pick up the poor Ophelia, but did not find the little girl.

At this time, she had already run into the maze with her brother in her arms.

Before the entrance of the underground kingdom, the Faun said happily that only by cutting the blood of the boy with a dagger can the gate be opened. This is the requirement of the last mission.

Ophelia felt strange and absolutely refused to hurt her brother.

At the last moment, facing the persuasion and temptation of the Faun, she even voluntarily gave up her identity as a princess.

At this time, Captain Vader also chased after him, but only saw that Ophelia was empty and talking to herself.

He snatched his brother and shot Ophelia mercilessly.

The little girl fell to the ground in pain, blood flowing.

The captain walked out of the labyrinth, but the entrance was already surrounded by many rebels.

He handed his own flesh and blood, the heir of the Vida family, to Messiti, asking her to raise the child for the sake of taking her in.

Captain Vader knew that his life was coming to an end.

He took out his treasured pocket watch, wanting to imitate his father's behavior, freeze the time, and let his son know when his father died.

But Messiti said, what's the use of doing this, he doesn't even know your name, I'll let him stay away from it all.

Captain Vader was stunned. He was about to say something, but was shot dead.

By the time Messiti found Ophelia, she had been lying on the cold ground for a long time, the little girl was sleeping peacefully in a pool of blood.

Then, a golden light lit up.

In a trance, Ophelia heard someone calling her.

Turning around again, she wore a princess dress and came to the golden palace. The king and queen on the throne were just like her parents, but a little more noble.

Mother gently told Ophelia that you have completed the pure test with your own blood.

The fairy danced, and the **** of agriculture and shepherd appeared again to greet him, just like the way they first met.

"My princess, welcome home."

But the golden light dissipated, and Ophelia walked into death with a smile on that clearing.

......

Although it is not the first time to watch this movie, but every time I watch it, I can get new insights.

I have to say that the top is really a genius director who is very good at shooting works similar to magical reality.

The cruel story of a little girl's fantasy and cold reality intertwined was so beautifully told by him.

Obviously he was anti-war, but he also played the fairy-tale anti-war like Hayao Miyazaki. He didn't show any intention. He just used the fairy tale to compare the reality, and explained step by step what he needed to say.

Perhaps it is precisely because the reality is too bleak that fairy tales and fantasy are needed to support people's spiritual world.

Several characters in the movie are very typical.

For example, Captain Vida symbolizes the absolute dictatorship, centralized, autocratic, brutal, and does not allow other thoughts to question his decisions, and presses on the heads of the people viciously and coldly. A pocket watch is not only a family inheritance, but also a power delivery token. In the end, he went to nothingness.

And her mother, Carmen, represented the most ordinary people, innocent and drifting with the tide, only dependent on power.

As for the little girl Ophelia, she is undoubtedly the warm color in this story.

In Lehmann's view, this drama is told to adults by borrowing the background of fairy tales, and uses exaggerated means to portray the absurd logic and phenomena in reality to be more cold and realistic.

The reason why fantasy and fairy tales are attractive may be that they can reflect everyone's dissatisfaction with the real world to a certain extent, so everyone has their own fantasy world.

And Ophelia's fantasy is so dark and oppressive because what she saw, heard, and felt was full of gunfights, torture, brutality, and death.

Therefore, the most outstanding thing about "Pan's Labyrinth" is that it tells two different stories at the same time, one is full of magnificent fantasy, childish and beautiful; the other directly expresses blood and high pressure.

The mutual penetration and fusion of the two constitute this magical masterpiece, which also makes the tragedy more intense.

For example, the big toad that hinders the growth of the big tree symbolizes the lingering Bourbon Dynasty, which is in decline and decay. The three magic stones it swallowed represent "democracy", "freedom" and "equality", and the golden key it spits out represents Spain. s future.

For example, the dagger obtained by the Eyeless Monster is also a symbol of war. When the conflict between the left and right in Spain intensifies, the only way to re-establish the regime is violence. But once the regime is established, it needs to distribute benefits, just like in the film Ophelia couldn't help tempted to steal food, the monsters were awakened, and the Faun also shouted fouls, just like the unfairness and selfishness in the distribution of benefits, they will again Let the finally stable situation be in chaos.

Top has a lot of ambitions for this film. He wants to say a lot. He wants to evaluate that period of history and wake up the world, calling for anti-war.

Someone once said that the most realistic war movie is the best anti-war movie.

Top used Ophelia's misfortune to tell the audience how terrible the war was and how cruel the **** was He did it.

At the end of the film, Ophelia returns to the ground and becomes the princess of her dreams. Those who hold hope will eventually see the light of day.

The projection lights came on.

The spinning top asked a little unconfidently: "Lyman, what do you think?"

This is the first time he wants to make a deep fantasy subject, rather than an entertainment product that satisfies his own bad taste like before.

It can also be seen from the production cycle that in the past, as long as the preparations were completed to enter the shooting stage and post-production, it would basically not exceed three months. And this "Pan's Labyrinth" just took more than three months to shoot, and the whole crew really spent a lot of thought.

Lehmann once went to a studio visit after he painted in "Prada". Top and Alfonso overturned a lot of shots for a little detail and re-shot.

Let Lehmann say, to be fair, this film is a representative of the work of the style of the top that really stepped into the field of literature and art.

Lehmann nodded affirmatively and said, "Very good. I suggest taking it to the film festival for the award, it deserves that honor."

This is the release strategy for Pan's Labyrinth.
