El Laberinto del Fauno

"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. She dreamed of blue skies, soft breeze, and sunshine. One day, eluding her keepers, the Princess escaped. Once outside, the brightness blinded her and erased every trace of the past from her memory. She forgot who she was and where she came from. Her body suffered cold, sickness, and pain. Eventually, she died. However, her father, the King, always knew that the Princess' soul would return, perhaps in another body, in another place, at another time. And he would wait for her, until he drew his last breath, until the world stopped turning..."

I watched Pan's Labyrinth today. I really liked it. There's just something about a movie that makes you think. Maybe it's the subtitles - I do seem to really enjoy movies with subtitles. Pan's Labyrinth, The Red Violin, Hero, Raise the Red Lanterns...all excellent. Or maybe I just like movies about Princesses...after all, my favorite movie of all time is The Princess Bride.

Anyway, more later. It's been a rough day and all I really want to do is go to bed.

Don't get me wrong - it's one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen. But, for reasons I can't really explain, at the end I was like, "That was awesome!" :D
