Quote from: Maestro Minded / LME on January 28, 2007, 11:19:38 AMthe best movie i've seen this month is blood diamond, flollowed by illusionist, pursuit for happyness and the departed, i guess pans labyrinth would get the fifth spot.. departed would probably be higher up if i dint know infernal affairs existedThe movies you listed are cool, but the only that movie that is somewhat close to the level of greatness Pan's Labyrinth was is The Departed. What separates Pan's Labyrinth with all of those movies are its main theme and the film's ending, which are much more powerful and complex than those films you listed. The whole idea of an anti-fascist/fantasy movie with numerous parallels to the real world and fantasy world is amazing. The symbolism throughout the movie is so powerful too. And of course technically speaking, everything about the film is top notch: the camera work, the lighting, the sets, the make-up, and the colors. Also, I find it incredible that the filmmaker created this universe entirely from his simple notebook. The movie's ending really can't be described, it's one of the best endings to a movie I've ever seen. Eh, oh well that's just me.

Eh, oh well that's just me. first of all, it's debatable if this movie is a fantasy at all, since there are many arguments suggesting that she were daydreaming all along.the complexity of a movie doesn't make it good, it just make it... complex.the visuals were good, sure, but nowhere near other fantasy movies like harry potter etc (not implying that harry potter is better movie)the colors were good, but if you want colors descibing a story, watch asian movies like "flying daggers" and "hero". these two movies also have better "camera work, lighting, sets and make-up".the ending wasnt all that for me. from the perspective i chose to see it, she died for nothing. it can be compared with somebody beliving in swimming dragons and dying when diving into the water to save one... it's not that i dont like this movie... but y'all making a way to big buzz over this movie
