Plot introduction:
Pan's Labyrinth tells the story of Filja, a Spanish girl 12 years old, who went to the northern Spanish countryside with her mother and stepfather during World War II. Captain Vidal, Mr. filia's stepfather, was a fascist officer whose task was to suppress the rebels. Lonely and sensitive, Mr. filia witnessed unpleasant events every day and felt the humiliation from his stepfather. In addition to her depressed life, she also created an imaginary world in her heart, which contains many absurd things that can be escaped. She found an abandoned maze behind their house and got to know the guardian of this maze-Pan God (the mountain god and the beast god in Greek mythology). Pan revealed her true identity. She is a princess. In order to return to her kingdom, she must complete three challenges before the full moon ... In the post-war depression years, Mr. Filja had to face the limits of his dream world and complete the tasks he had to complete in the world he created.
From "Pan" with long horns, half man and half sheep to "Pale Man" with eyes in the palm of his hand, many unique fantasy creatures endow the film with a strong magical color, just like the consistent style of Mexican director gilmour Deltoro, "Pan's Labyrinth" and the director's works in 200 1 year. They are all talking about Franco's dictatorship. It is worth mentioning that many of Gilmore's works take underground buildings as the main scene of the story, such as the subway in DNA Replication and Hell Glen, the sewer in Blade 2, and the basement in Ghost Children's Home. The claustrophobic underground space is of course the best carrier for telling horror stories, and the maze of the gods is no exception. In a word, Pan Shen's maze not only carries forward the imagination of the characters in The Grinch of Hell, but also embodies the plot tension in The Garden of Ghosts, which is a total explosion of all the whimsy in Guilmault's mind.
Like his works with strange ideas, Guilmault himself is maverick enough. Although he is no longer taboo, he has been a vegetarian for four years after just watching texas chainsaw massacre, Texas 1974. In order to put his beloved cartoon "Hellgren" on the big screen, Guilmault ignored the box office success created by "Blade 2" and refused the kind invitation to direct two popular films, Blade 3 and Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban. Guilmault spent two years trying to shoot the Maze of the God of Pan, which is naturally his latest passion work. Guilmault hopes that this film will establish his future creative direction.
The main association of Latin American films is "fantasy", which has always been known for its absurd and magical colors. The Maze of the Pan God obviously conforms to this trend, taking into account both magical and political themes. This film reflects the coldness and horror of reality in a magical way. Compared with the psychological shadow brought by human evil cruelty, monsters of any form are far from terrible. As the film shows, the fascist officer Captain Vidal is the biggest monster in the film.
With a budget of only $5 million, Guilmault Deltoro, who now has free access to Hollywood, is obviously a low-cost production. Although the investment is small, Guilmault has great ideas in his mind. "Small-cost production has certain flexibility and can be freely played, which I value very much. Don't forget who you are and where you come from. If you don't pay attention, the works you make can easily annihilate our personality. " At Sundance Film Festival, the film was favored, and Picturehouse Film Company of the United States bought the distribution rights in North America for more than 6 million dollars. In addition, the film was selected as the competition unit of the 59th Cannes Film Festival. If you can win the prize, I believe it will play a considerable role in promoting the future box office performance of the film.
