Pan's Labyrinth

Well, I would think she died in the mortal world but as the story tells she went back to her realm. If it was all in her imagination then how did she use chalk to get into the captains locked room - remember when the faun tells her to make her own door? Then there's the mandrake root, how would she have known a spell that actually worked?

^ Good point.

I don't know why I don't post on this board more often, I'm a huge film buff, and I like to think I'm fairly well read too...

Anyway, Pan's Labyrinth was a phenominally good film. One of the best of last year. I'm quite a big fan of director Guillermo Del Toro, I've seen all his films, and have most of them on DVD. He's also the guy who directed Hellboy too, just in case anyone here didn't know.

I'll mirror the sentiments about The Devil's Backbone too, which was an exceptionally good movie. I'm also looking forward to another spanish language film he's doing called 3993, which seems to be along the lines of the aforementioned Devil's Backbone.

Saw this a few days ago. I'd expected it to be a kids' movie, but it was quite delightful to find out I was wrong.

I loved the scene where Vidal smashes that one guy's nose in with that beer bottle. I'm kind of a gorehog when it comes to movies, and that one gave me a mental chubby.

^ That scene was awesome.

Yeah this was very good, different for a change, I agree, I'm glad they used subtitles instead of dubing,that would have ruined it.The special effects were great as well.

I haven't watched the movie but on the dubbing topic, I watched a dubbed Jet Li movie once with subtitles on at the same time, if I remember correctly it had two or three languages in the original.

Anyway watching it dubbed with subtitles was hilarious as both translations were totally different, they changed the english dubbing to match the mouth movements and in doing so they changed the movie but made it funny as to watch.

I always watch Japanese and Chinese movies with subtitles. For me, people talking in Nihongo, Cantonese, Mandarin or whatever just sounds awesome. Nihongo is the most epic sounding language evar.

I'm on the fence about dubbibng. On one hand, dubbing does usually come out sounding a bit ridiculous. On the other, I feel like I am missing something while I'm reading all the subtitles. I feel like I can never really relax and just watch/listen to what is going on.
