El laberinto del fauno (2006)
An Unforgettable View on a Very Twisted World During a Very Twisted Time
Guillermo del Toro's Academy Award winning 'Pan's Labyrinth' is a fantasy film released in 2006, about a young girl called Ofelia, who's going with her pregnant mother to meet her new stepdad in Falangist Spain during 1944, who's a sadistic army officer. Ones she's there, she finds an old labyrinth, where she discovers that she's a princess of the underworld, and must complete three tasks to return back.
Not only is this film one of the most dramatic, well-thought out and brilliantly scripted films out there, but is it one that I would like to call a masterpiece and one of the greatest films of our time, maybe even of all.
Because of the intriguing plot, del Toro was able to create a very unique vision that gives the film personality and a great sense of wonder. From the production-design to the costumes, make-up and effects, it was an absolute marvel to sit through. And the cinematography tops it all of with giving it an interesting mix of both dark-blue and orange colors, passing off the comforting and disturbing tone of the world.
The score by Javier Navarrete is this fantastic magical summary of how powerful music can be for a motion-picture and how much it adds to it. I can definitely call it one of the greatest ones out there.
The directing by del Toro couldn't be any better, as he captures the best shots and scenes that the movie has to offer, making it even better with his compelling script. The characters are all believable and very important, making us care for most of them and makes us invested in this strange universe where they are set in.
With all of these elements mixed together, you get an instant classic, that will be remained as one of the most inspiring and heart-stabbing fantasy films/experiences that you will ever see, included with one of the most tragic, saddest and unforgettable endings that you will ever witness, which never gets old or worse and one of the reasons why it's one of my favorite films of all time.
I'm giving 'Pan's Labyrinth' a 10/10
Back to the Future (1985)
A "One of a kind" movie!
I have to admit, the way how this whole movie was made is pretty damn impressing to me. Like, can you think of someone who can make a masterpiece/classic about a teen boy traveling trought time with an actual DeLorean as a time machine? While, Robert Zemeckis definetly found a way!
This movie is what i can call a absolute PERFECT combination. A combination of storytelling, writing, suspense, action, effects, acting and music. All of these things are just PERFECT in this film! That's why this movie truly is one of a kind. Something that Robert Zemeckis also did brilliantly with other movies of his in the 80's and 90's, like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" or "Forrest Gump".
The movie just has this magic to it that ANYONE can enjoy, no matter who or how old you are. The main characters, Marthy and Doc Brown, are some of the most enjoyable and iconic characters in fiction to date, they are just a blast to watch! Including supporting characters, like Biff or Marthy's parents.
The action scenes are also enjoyable and even more with the excellent special effects and music attached to it. And the story of the film is brilliant as well.
Of course we've seen many time travel movies before, but the way how they did it in this one is incredible. This movie is truly a masterpiece and i can't have enough of it. I highly suggest to at least watch this movie ONCE in your lifetime, you won't regret it. And definetly show it to your kids (if you have any) they will love it!
So this film is a fun, intelligent and action-packed sci-fi movie, that really raised the bar up when it comes to movie blockbusters and im giving this a
10/10 (i definetly won't change my rating in the future)
