Pan's Labyrinth 02162009

I have been trying to watch this movie for the LONGEST time. I didn't get wind of it until it was out of theaters or at least not until I heard the buzz it was making at the Academy Awards. It only showed up in my radar a couple of times after that, most of those being when I couldn't access it(see no funds). Lately I have been frantically searching for it, asking friends, relatives, etc. about it. Come to find out my stepfather has a copy and its been in his possession for over a year now. You know I had to cop that!

I finally got myself in the mood to watch it and I am almost at a lost for words. There is so much about the movie that I liked. The authenticity of speaking Spanish; the storyline and its overtones (I gotta watch it again to give details); the music; the characters and what they represented; and most importantly, the feelings that arose while I watched the movie. I won't go into great detail about it here, but just know that I will be purchasing my copy soon. And by copy I am talking about the special edition...hell, I'll even buy that book that I saw in Borders not too long ago.

How else would I know that you read it?
