Az a kid we create monsters to deal with the harsh realities we don't understand or like.The monsters are alwayz elaborate,larger than life and bizarre.Even us kids who's livez are pretty good have the need to create strange beingz to help us make it thru the day,but usually we don't look much deeper into the characterz than that they're hideous and grotesque and that they can beat up your friend'z monsters.But,without us realizing it,thoze critters of fairytale landz and imagination are a reflection of what iz really going on deep inside our psyche.They're the visualization of our dissatisfaction with the world we've been brought into.And,maybe,they're the real truth,a creation by us to battle the creations of others.But az we grow older we tend to accept the realities that our parents,teachers,religious leaders,presidents,bosses and other authority figures have all collaberated on,taking it all in,believing it to be the truth,and we give ourselves over to them,then eventually becoming them. We no longer question the world.We become the monsters. "Pan's Labyrinth" tackles all that,in a grim and gritty world forced down upon a small young Ofelia,thrown into a life of true ugliness and pain.Her only escape is to imagine a world just az ugly and repulsive,but one where SHE makes the decisions.She doesn't even follow the rulez in her imaginary life,rejecting blind obediance,and tho it just makes her existance more heartbreaking and difficult,she ultimatly findz her way,maybe not in this world,but in herz. It'z a beautiful film,even in it'z brutal ugliness,and boy doez it get brutal.This one,tho a story more parents should share with thier children,iz not for the kiddies.It'z harsh reality makez you want to look away,it makez ya squirm and it makes you shudder. But it makes ya think,at least thoze who haven't completely given themselvez over to this so called reality.And,maybe,just maybe it can inspire ya to step outside the boundaries of life once in a while and chose your own illusion. Who'z to say yourz isn't the real one.Let'z face it,humanz created everything we believe to be real-time,the names of colors,the words and concepts of up and down,love and hate,right and wrong. We already live in a made up reality,why not live in one you enjoy? Ragz Ratez It A:9.0
