Chris C Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Has anyone seen this masterpiece? Link to comment
Nega-Brent Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Yes, and if you loved it then you should watch The Devil's Backbone, another film by Guillermo del Toro. Labyrinth is a spiritual sequel to Backbone. Link to comment

GummyBearOfDoom Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I loved it. Except for how predictable it was. Link to comment
Proserpexa Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 It was absolutely amazing. Best film of 2006, in my opinion. I'm planning on seeing it again with my cousin tomorrow. Link to comment
TeleportSandwich Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 ....I dunno. Maybe it's because I was expecting more of a fantasy element to it rather then a post Spanish Civil War backdrop, but I thought it was a tad over rated. Still one of the best film's I've seen in the last year. Link to comment
Dramatic Conclusion Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 ....I dunno. Maybe it's because I was expecting more of a fantasy element to it rather then a post Spanish Civil War backdrop, but I thought it was a tad over rated. Still one of the best film's I've seen in the last year. I actually liked how they toned it down, versus oversaturating the movie with 'omgfantasyluv.' Besides, one of the major conflicts the director wants to lend the viewer is the question whether or not the fantasy world was real. (Past the fact that other characters interacted with objects like the root and chalk.. I like to be a romantic and justify the fantasy world existed, but my friend pointed out the Calvin and Hobbes complex; others see Hobbes as a plushie, Calvin sees him as a living, breathing, elegantly violent comicbook-stealing friend.)

megosaurusrexx Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Yes, and if you loved it then you should watch The Devil's Backbone, another film by Guillermo del Toro. Labyrinth is a spiritual sequel to Backbone. I watched that, it was good but it seemed to drag on forever. Link to comment

No Sad Endings Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'm a little afraid to watch it, from what I've heard about how emotionally stressful it is... Link to comment
Dramatic Conclusion Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I'm a little afraid to watch it, from what I've heard about how emotionally stressful it is... XD It's one of those "Oh God, what's going to happen next? ;A;" movies, but it doesn't mean you should avoid it. :crube: Link to comment
TeleportSandwich Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 The ending was sad » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I personally feel that the whole fantasy part of the movie was just in the girls imagination and some kind of biblical allusion on the part of the writer/director. See the girl = Jesus, since she gets a seat at the right side of her dads throne when she dies and enters the fantasy world at the end of the movie. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it Link to comment
Tull Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Best movie of 2006. No argument even needed. And the ending could either be seen as uplifting, depressing, and/or bittersweet. It's up to how the individual viewer see's the film as a whole. Link to comment
Harrison Ford Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Know im late to the party. :\ I just saw it tonight, I thought it was amazing as fuck, best movie i've seen since Sin city. Anyways, my girlfriend said it was ok, which makes me want to fucking dump her. :D Link to comment
