As I was nearing the end of Pan's Labyrinth (which I greatly enjoyed, by the way) I had a couple of flashbacks during the movie and wanted to know if others felt the same.
When Pan tells Ofelia to bring her brother to the labyrinth, for some reason I was reminded of the beginning of the movie Labyrinth when the Goblin King (David Bowie) steals Sara's baby brother away from her. I am not sure why I thought of this, but it definitely rang some bells.
Also, when the captain is chasing Ofelia through the labyrinth, did anyone think of The Shining (the movie, not the book)? I just kept seeing Jack Nicholson stumbling through snowy hedges, haha.

I was thinking about Labyrinth from the time it was first revealed she was going to have a baby brother on - so basically the whole movie. I wonder if there is any significance between labyrinths and babies, and even more specifically with baby brothers?
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen The Labyrinth in a long time, but now that you mention it that is a strange connection. That is a crazy movie.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I actually thought of The Shining too...labyrinths remind me of mazes. Something of which I would never step into because I am a coward..haha
