Upon meeting the Faun‚ he tells her she is the lost Princess‚ Moanna‚ and that her father‚ the king of the underworld‚ has sent out messengers to open portals so she could return. However‚ because there is only one portal left she must be tested and carry out three tasks to prove her “essence” is still intact and that she hasn’t become mortal.

the film Pan’s Labyrinth is a girl named Ofelia in her task of moving onto another realm. The film focused on Ofelia’s journey through mythical situations on her quest. Ofelia is helped on her journey by a fairy who attempts to assist her on her journey to the underground realm. The narrative element of the film’s setting contributed much to the story. The setting of revolutionary Spain adds a compelling backdrop to Ofelia’s journey. One symbol that stood out to me is the Labyrinth described in the

This section of the Labyrinth of Solitude was really interesting and made me aware of a different lens in order to view Mexicans. For instance‚ in the first chapter Paz talks about how the Pachucos don’t identify with either Mexicans or people born in the United States.

Pan’s Labyrinth (Del Toro 2006) successfully brings fairytales back into the realm of adult cinema by combining horror and fantasy with the factual drama of the Spanish Civil War. This film is a rare treat‚ for it seamlessly blends historical reality with the supernatural
