Fairy tales and war

A wonderful movie that combines childhood fairy tales and killing wars together, making it impossible to distinguish whether we are in the magical world of magic and princesses depicted in childhood fairy tale books, or the magical world full of killing blood and cunning. Reality.

Perhaps everyone has had such a childhood, dreaming of possessing endless magical abilities, dreaming of being a noble princess and prince, and the ending of the fairy tale is naturally Happy ending. However, as time goes by, as people grow up, they are informed of the rules of reality day after day, and the remaining illusions are eroded by society all the time. When childhood is a thing of the past, we no longer live in the world of fairy tales, we learn to follow the rules of the real society, learn to fight, learn to deceive and survive.

The Ophelia in the movie is just a 12-year-old girl, innocent and beautiful, with the hobbies of most people when she was young, and loves fairy tales. She met her world in Pan's maze. On the other hand, her stepfather, a fascist officer, was fighting the Spanish guerrillas. In the movie, there are no uncommon arms, sawn limbs, and cut corners of the mouth. This is another world, a cruel but alive world. .

In the movie, only Ophelia bears the intersection of the real world and the fairy tale world. I have always expected that the movie will break the boundary between the two worlds and tell us whether the world is realistic or a fairy tale world. However, until the end, the movie has nothing. tell us. We can only sincerely hope that Ophelia will really return to her world, and that the princess and her parents will live happily soon; we can only hope that the blood and war in reality can be calmed down as soon as possible.

Ophelia in the fairy tale has gone through three Faweng's tests. These three tests represent the hardships and trials of life, wisdom, bravery and integrity. The film also uses this to show that the Spanish people under fascist aggression can defeat evil only if they have these.
