Sure, America enjoys its fair share of sadism, but there is so much more to this movie that is impossible for anyone not to have discovered. If you are only willing to look at the surface, judging this film by its blunt hostility and not for the imaginative, original, brilliant characters and plot lines of a mistreated child's enlightenment, then maybe you should be watching different movies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13095695.post-87809600121619696912007-07-25T11:53:00.000-04:002007-07-25T11:53:00.000-04:00I totally disagree with you.

Pan is a misguided over-serious effort from a mere illiterate comicbook illustrator to make his personal morbid fetishes interesting to the masses by using lots of sadistic violence. He only succeeds because this is what the American public craves more than anything right now. I am still having trouble with this sentence, though: "For this reviewer at least, Pan's Labyrinth is superior to 2006's other high-profile torture pic, Jean-Pierre Melville's 1969 Army of Shadows." How can a 1969 film be considered a 2006 film, even for a connoisseur of torture pics?baracinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791359047804014117noreply@blogger.com
