I have a book about cult movies, and Pan is one of them. The little girl stood in front of the dining table, opposite the little monster with her hands covering her face, her eyes in her palms, looking at me, she was innocent. It was adorable at that time. What a great imagination?
So I thought, this is a story full of such strange and cute things.
After watching the movie, I realized that the dark part is not the magic part, but the reality part. Those cruel shots made me feel like a little monster in a secret room, reaching out to cover my eyes. On the contrary, in Pan God's world, demons and ghosts are not scary, saving hopeless reality.
