Chapter 630: Cold Photographs Into The Fairy Tale

Finally, the captive said everything...

At night, the farmer and animal husbandry who received the report from the fairy rushed to Ophelia's room and shouted, saying that you have violated the rules, you have failed, and you can't go back, so stay on it forever.

Ophelia was accused of crying.

In the middle of the journey, Captain Vader found the tree root spirit under his mother's bed and was even more furious.

This time even mother didn't want to listen to Ophelia's explanation.

The mother said sadly: "One day you will know that life will not be as beautiful as a fairy tale."

After all, Captain Vader threw the root spirit into the fireplace.

The scorching flame swallowed the root spirit, and the root spirit screamed bitterly.

Ophelia kept tears and watched all this happen blankly.

Later, Captain Vader found the doctor and looked at him and said, why don't you obey me?

The doctor is fearless, looks at each other bravely, and obeys regardless of right or wrong. Only you can do it.

Outside, it was raining heavily.

With a gunshot, the doctor fell to the empty ground, blood mixed with rain and washed the ground wantonly.

As for Messetti, she was locked up long ago.

The reason why the doctor didn't leave was because the day of the madam's delivery had arrived.

This night, Carmen was stimulated to give birth in advance.

The nurses who delivered the baby didn't have much experience and were rushing to help.

Ophelia waited in tears outside the door, but only waited for the news of the birth of her brother and the death of her mother.

This place was so cold to the little girl, and it ruthlessly took away Ophelia's last support.

The little girl stayed in the room alone, her brows frowned, she didn't see a smile again.

But at this moment, the Faun reappeared and said that Ophelia had the last chance to carry her brother into the depths of the maze.

Ophelia listened in her heart, waited until no one was around, drew a door on the wall with chalk, and sneaked into Captain Vader's room.

Unexpectedly, Captain Vader was treating the wound in the room. When he was interrogating Mesiti, the corner of his mouth was cut by the small dagger hidden by Mesiti.

Ophelia waited and waited, finally found the opportunity, while Captain Vader was about to rest, picked up her brother and left.

But this kind of movement was also discovered by Captain Vader.

The two ran one by one, and the other chased. Amidst the chaos, the rebel army arrived, and the camp was instantly breached, bursting into flames.

Messiti also returned to the room to pick up poor Ophelia, but did not find the little girl.

At this time, she had already ran into the maze with her younger brother.

In front of the entrance of the Underground Kingdom, the Faun said happily that he only needed to cut some blood of the boy with a dagger to open the gate. This was the requirement of the last task.

Ophelia felt strange and refused to hurt her brother.

At the last moment, facing the persuasion and temptation of the Faun, he even took the initiative to give up the identity of the princess.

At this time, Captain Vader also chased after him, but only saw no one talking to herself around Ophelia.

He snatched his brother and shot Ophelia without mercy.

The little girl fell to the ground in pain, blood flowing.

The captain walked out of the maze, but the entrance was already surrounded by many rebels.

He handed his own flesh and blood, the heir to the Vader family, to Messity, so that she could raise the child for the sake of taking her in.

Captain Vader knew that his life was about to end.

He took out his treasured pocket watch, trying to imitate his father's past behavior, freeze the time, let his son know when his father died.

But Messiti said, what's the use of doing this, he doesn't even know your name, I will keep him away from all this.

Captain Vader was stunned, was about to say something, but was shot to death.

When Messity found Ophelia, she had been lying on the cold ground for a long time, and the little girl was sleeping peacefully in a pool of blood.

Then, a golden light lit up.

In a daze, Ophelia heard someone calling her.

After another turn, she wore a princess dress and came to the golden palace. The king and queen on the throne were just like her parents, only a little more noble.

Mother gently told Ophelia that you used your own blood to complete the pure test.

The fairy was flying, and the god of agriculture and faculty appeared to greet him again, just as he had first met.

"My princess, welcome home."

But the golden light dissipated, and in the clearing, Ophelia walked into death with a smile.

......

Although it is not the first time to watch this movie, every time I watch it, I get new insights.

I have to say that Gyro is really a talented director who can shoot works similar to magical reality.

The cruel story of a little girl's fantasy and cold reality intertwined is so beautiful by him.

Obviously it was anti-war, but he also played a fairy tale-style anti-war like Hayao Miyazaki, without a trace of deliberateness, just comparing reality with fairy tales, step by step explaining what he needs to say.

Perhaps it is precisely because the reality is so bleak that fairy tales are needed to support people's spiritual world.

Several characters in the movie are very typical.

For example, Captain Vinda symbolizes the dictatorship of the *** dictatorship, centralized, tyrannical, brutal, and does not allow other thoughts to question his decision. It is viciously and coldly pressed on the people’s head. A pocket watch is not only a family heritage, but also a transfer of power. Keepsake.Finally, he walked towards nothingness.

The mother, Carmen, represents the most ordinary people, who are innocent and follow the crowd, only dependent on power.

As for the little girl Ophelia, it is undoubtedly the warm color in this story.

In Lehman's view, this drama is told to adults using the background of fairy tales, and uses exaggerated means to portray the absurd logic and phenomena in reality more cold and realistic.

What makes fantasy and mythical stories attractive is that they can reflect everyone's dissatisfaction with the real world to a certain extent, so everyone has their own fantasy world.

And Ophelia's fantasy is so dark and oppressive, because what she saw, heard, and felt was full of gunfights, torture, brutality, and death.

Therefore, the most remarkable thing about "Pan's Labyrinth" is that it tells two different stories at the same time, one is full of magnificent fantasies, naive and beautiful; the other directly expresses blood and high pressure.

The two penetrated and merged with each other to form this magical masterpiece, and it also made the tragedy more intense.

For example, the big toad that hinders the growth of the tree symbolizes the lingering Bourbon dynasty, decayed and decayed. The three magic stones swallowed represent "democracy", "freedom", and "equality", while the golden key spit out represents Spain the future of.

For example, the dagger obtained from No Eye Monster is also a symbol of war. When the conflict between the left and the right in Spain intensifies, the only way to re-establish power is violence.But once the government is established, it needs to distribute benefits, just like Ophelia in the film could not help but temptation to eat, the monster was awakened, and the Faun also shouted fouls, just like the injustice and selfishness in the distribution of benefits, and will Let the situation that has finally stabilized become disorderly.

Gyro has a lot of ambitions for this film, and he wants to say a lot, he wants to evaluate that period of history, to alert the world and call for anti-war.

Someone once said that the most realistic war movie is the best anti-war movie.

The top uses Ophelia's misfortune to tell the audience how terrible the war is and how cruel it is.

He did it.

At the end of the film, Ophelia returned to the ground and became the princess she dreamed of.Hopeful people will see the light after all.

The projection lights came on.

The top asked unconfidently: "Lyman, what do you think?"

This is the first time he wants to take a deep shot of magical subjects, rather than an entertainment product that satisfies his own bad taste like before.

It can also be seen from the production cycle that in the past gyro filming, as long as the preparations are completed to enter the shooting stage and post-production, it will basically not exceed three months.The filming stage of "Pan's Labyrinth" took more than three months, and the whole crew really spent a lot of thought.

Lehmann once went to the studio after painting "Prada", and the two of Gyro and Alfonso overturned many shots for a little detail, and re-shooted.

Let Lehman speak, be more pertinent, this film is regarded as the representative of the work of Licheng that has really stepped into the field of literary and artistic directorship.

Lehman nodded and said affirmatively: "Very good. I suggest going to the film festival to win awards, it deserves that honor."

This can be regarded as setting the release strategy of "Pan Shen's Labyrinth".
