    Guillermo del Toro’s 2006 film Pan’s Labyrinth is about a little girl, Ofelia, who moves with her mother to live with her new stepfather, Captain Vidal. Ofelia comes to learn that she is princess of the Underworld and, with the help from faeries, must complete magical tasks in order to escape Earth and her cruel stepfather and return to her throne in the mystical world (Pan’s Labyrinth). Del Toro’s main purpose of this film is to parallel the monsters and tasks Ofelia must overcome to fascist 1940s Spain (Kermode). However, with deeper analysis, the monsters may also represent universal societal issues such as mistreatment of the poor by the wealthy, the premature death of childhood innocence and wonder, and abuse.

    In today’s society, fairytales are most commonly reserved for children. Our fascination for these incredible tales slowly dies out as we mature, and we replace our interests accordingly. This progression is clearly reflected in the films we choose to go out and see. Today’s adult moviegoers will almost always choose drama, comedy, and action genres over fantasy. Pan’s Labyrinth (Del Toro 2006) successfully brings fairytales back into the realm of adult cinema by combining horror and fantasy with the factual drama of the Spanish Civil War. This film is a rare treat, for it seamlessly blends historical reality with the supernatural. The combination of the two is so fluid that it is actually quite difficult to assign it to any sort of a genre. In today’s world, your average movie-going experience can be both bland and predictable, but I can assure you that this film is neither.…

    What if the world everyone perceives as a reality is only an elaborate deception? Human beings believe they are living in realities because they do not know of anything else. What they feel, see, hear, taste, and feel all contribute to their subconscious belief of physical existence. As people dream, however, they usually cannot recognize that they are not living through the events—that is, until they wake up. What if they do not wake up? How would they know the difference between their false perceptions and reality? The Ancient Greek philosopher Plato explores this concept within an example he uses in his work The Republic. In his example, known as the “Allegory of the Cave”, Plato uses an allegorical cave to show how humans are uncomfortable when exposed to the truth and that they are manipulated by higher authorities. In their 1999 motion picture The Matrix, the Wachowski brothers use a computer program to display similar ideals of Plato's allegory, including how humans are controlled and negatively react to the truth. Plato's “Allegory of the Cave” serves as a philosophical basis to The Matrix, as both works suggest that humans express discomfort while exposed to truth and both argue that people are controlled by higher authorities.…
