It doesn't matter if you become a devil

The story begins like this: A

long time ago, in an underground kingdom without lies and suffering, there lived a princess who longed for the blue sky, breeze and bright sunshine on earth. One day, the princess escaped the guards and sneaked into the surface world. However, the strong sunlight blinded her eyes and erased her memory. She forgot who she was and where she came from. She suffered from hunger and cold, and also suffered from illness. In the end, life was lost. Her king father had always believed that her soul must return, perhaps in another body, another time, another place. He will die waiting for her return. until the world stops turning.

The story ends like this:

Princess Ophelia finally returns to the underground palace, because she still retains the most valuable quality of being an elf - self-sacrifice, she is unwilling to exchange other people's lives for a passport to return to the eternal kingdom, she wins. . In the harsh world of the ground, however, Ophelia is dead, and she is killed by the captain, bang, and one shot.

Is this a good ending or a bad ending?

For Ophelia, this is probably a good ending, otherwise she wouldn't be so satisfied in the end. In her opinion, the eternal soul is more important than the survival of the flesh. She told a story to her unborn brother: On the steep cliffs, the roses that can bring eternal life open lonely, because the roses are wrapped with deadly toxins, and the people who come to pick them are in fear of death and pain. , forget the longing for the eternal soul...

yes, that's it.

Ophelia is Ophelia because she believes in the eternal soul and is willing to give her life for it (you might say, that's because she's a child and is prone to believe in myths, but I've seen such adults too , so it probably has nothing to do with age); the reason why I am an ordinary human is that I doubt whether the soul can really survive without the body.

I think, in order to survive, I will try every means to survive, work hard all day long, be troubled by fame, fortune, love and hate, neither a wizard nor a devil, just a mortal.

However, Ophelia is so beautiful, her pure, thorough and frightened eyes pierce the screen to the heart of the heart. It is difficult for a soul like her to survive alone in the world. If she can no longer return to the underground world, she must live in this damn world, there must be someone by her side to protect her, love her, shelter her from the wind and rain, kill her and set fire to her and become a devil, it doesn't matter. .

Someone has to carry the cross.

    The killing of historical themes and the mystery of myths and allegories together have created Toro's unique author style. Photography can be said to be the greatest contributor. Therefore, even if you are not obsessed with implementing the metaphorical prototype, the film is still brilliant, confused by the smoke and the gods. The source of the yujian is just a hope of escape, and when innocence becomes a sacrifice, the foothold of the film has actually exceeded the genre framework of historical drama or fairy tales.

Pan's Labyrinth quotes

  • [first lines]

    Pan: A long time ago, in the underground realm, where there are no lies or pain, there lived a Princess who dreamed of the human world. She dreamed of blue skies, soft breeze, and sunshine. One day, eluding her keepers, the Princess escaped. Once outside, the brightness blinded her and erased every trace of the past from her memory. She forgot who she was and where she came from. Her body suffered cold, sickness, and pain. Eventually, she died. However, her father, the King, always knew that the Princess' soul would return, perhaps in another body, in another place, at another time. And he would wait for her, until he drew his last breath, until the world stopped turning...
