Violence In The Film Pan's Labyrinth

140 Words1 Page

‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ is the mixture of classic fairy tales like Alice In Wonderland, Little Red Riding Hood and Wizards of Oz with a spoonful of violence. Del Toro has turned the traditional framework on its head to create a dark, visually-stunning modern-day fairy tale about a little girl in need of an escape route from the evil that is fascism. Even with the fantasy elements being the common thread in the film, Pan’s Labyrinth is way too violent and bloody for children. Setting in 1944, after the Spanish Civil War, the story unfolds through the eyes of the little girl Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) who is forced to move to the countryside with her mother. There they meet Captain Vidal (Sergi López), the villain of the film whose charisma is so malicious

  • Labyrinth, by Jim Henson

    822 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Jim Henson’s Labyrinth the plot closely follows the narrative structure that is documented by Propp and described by Berger. Propp establishes a series of functions which all Russian fairy tales followed and which Berger finds easily applies to modern day narratives. When these functions are applied to Labyrinth, they fit easily into the movies story line. The protagonist, Sarah, is an adequate example of Propp’s hero with some gender norms reversed and Jareth fits into the archetype of the villain. Labyrinth presents an excellent example to Berger’s updated interpretation of Propp’s fairy tale theory of structure, while presenting important modernizations to the structure.

  • The Film Pan's Labyrinth

    The film Pan’s Labyrinth, has several common concepts with Joseph Campbell’s theory on heroes in Hero with a Thousand Faces. His theory emphasizes on tests that show their moral and basic instincts for the rite of passage to their threshold, in this case, the underworld. Campbell’s theory is a concept that surrounds an individual’s journey to heroism. This concept pertains to Ophelia due to her circumstances as a child who ventures out on thresholds, tests, and so forth. Campbell’s depiction relates to Ophelia as he describes the levels in which one must attain and accept as a female heroine. Furthermore, his theory exaggerates on the making of a hero to the resurrection in terms of physical and spiritual transformation. Ophelia’s character depicts a hero who has been resurrected as a human. Thus, she begins her journey to cross the threshold, “pass from the everyday world in the world of adventure,” (Campbell). There are many stages in the film that depicts Ophelia’s introduction to the stages of being a hero. More so, it focuses on tasks, which Ophelia must pass or fail in order to determine her role in the film; Princess of the Underworld or just a human soul. This is lead by the faun who simply reassures a place of ‘paradise’ for Ophelia only with her cooperation to listen and follow her morals.

  • A Comparison Of Alice And Ofelia In Pan's Labyrinth

    The film amalgamates the horrific realities of the Civil War under fascist occupation, yet it also attempts to adapt the fantasy genre as an imaginary world. Ofelia is a young girl that finds an escape from reality by being asked to find the missing Princess Moanna in an imaginary labyrinth. However, the opening lines of the film imply that the horrors of Spanish Civil war will be forgotten, and that Ofelia will escape into the faery Underworld: “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” (Del Toro). These opening lines, however, are incorrect, since Ofelia must face monsters, such as demons, and other hostile forces in her attempt to liberate the lost princess. Scott (2006) defines the adult themed content of this film, which shifts away from the child-like imagination of the underworld as an escapist

  • In This Strange Labyrinth, by Mary Wroth

    655 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the title “In This Strange Labyrinth”, the labyrinth is symbolic of love’s maze-like qualities. The speaker describes her predicament by saying, “In this strange Labyrinth how shall I turn/Ways are on all sides” (1-2). A different path on every side surrounds her, and every way seems to be the wrong way. She is confused about which way she should go. Wroth is conveying the theme of love in a decidedly negative way, for according to myth, the Labyrinth was where the Minotaur lived and before it’s demise, death was evident for all visitors of the maze. The speaker is struggling with every choice she may make and cannot rest or find aid until she finds the best way: “Go forward, or stand still, or back retire;/ I must these doubts endure without allay/ Or help, but travail find for my best hire” (10-11). She has several choices and each one is confusing and leaves her feeling helpless.

    The stench from the chimney at night was something most foul, and people—those who surely would not to be missed—began disappearing into the dark without a trace. In 1846, the story of a barber who gruesomely murdered his customers was released in the popular British fiction publication, The Penny Dreadful, by Thomas Peckett Priest, author of many grim Penny Dreadful stories. Penny Dreadfuls were often written casually, and contained themes of gore and violence; The String of Pearls was no different. Its style of writing makes it a perfect example of a sensational, violent subject matter that plays off of the deepest fears of the human race. The success of the stories lies in the wild reaction people give it. Themes like murder and cannibalism equally scare and attract people, leading to the success of the stories.

    “To die will be an awfully big adventure,” seems like a quote that would be found in anything but a children’s story. However, it is spoken by innocent Peter, in James Barrie’s Peter Pan. This simplistic tale of a boy who longs to remain young and his countless adventures has fascinated many children over the years, while intriguing many adults. At a glance, this story is merely an entertaining tale that entrances its young audience with magic and adventure, but below the surface, it is filled with a completely deeper meaning. The other meaning contains darker elements that are often missed by the children reading it, including the pirates, Tinker Bell, and the ever constant element of death.
