Have you heard of the movie "Pan's Labyrinth?"
It wasn't hugely advertised, and hardly anyone has heard of it, but if you get a chance, GO SEE IT. It's gotten absolutly amazing reviews already, look it up on Hollywood.com or Rottontomatoes.com. (If Rotton Tomatoes says its good, you know it's worth paying for at the theatres.)
The reason I was so eager to see this movie, is because I am a huge fan fairytales and princesses meeting their prince- they always make me remember what it was like to be a kid and see the world through different eyes.
I love stories like Alice in Wonderland. The young girl (who by the way, was actually written to be a brunette... interesting...) who becomes bored with the real world, and dreams of a place she can escape to, and make new friends, talk to a smoking caterpillar and sing with flowers.
If you enjoy these types of stories, you'll like this movie.
It's not all flowers and butterflies, however.
This is more of a modern, adult, dark fairytale... with a good amount of graphic violence... so definately don't take the kids to this one.
This movie made me wonder: What happened to us? Why don't we believe in fairytales anymore? Are we all so grown up and busy that we can't use our imagination and have fun with it?
Whenever I go to Disneyland, I become a completely different person. I'm a kid in a candy store and I don't care who knows it! I have a Little Mermaid purse as well as an Alice in Wonderland one. Sure, I may only get compliments from 2 year old girls, (Which made me seriously think about purchasing a Dooney and Burke..) but it's something that makes me genuinly happy so I really don't care what anyone thinks about it!
Fairytales make me happy, I just wish more people would appreciate them.
P.S. I totally have a Little Mermaid watch too. Oh yeah- I already know how cool I am.
