PAN'S LABYRINTH - CLOSING SCENE
MISE EN SCENE / PERFORMANCE
CINNAMONTOGRAPHY
EDITING
Ticking clock
Time's running out for him
Brother in white
Beacon of hope
Drunken lens in Vidal's POV
Sympathy for the monsters, since we're in his POV
Slight dutch tilt to make it obvious that he's drunk
Golden yellow explosions
The aesthetic of the fantasy world against the cold blue of the real world
Both worlds are crashing into one aother
The fascists are destroyed in this film
NOT what happens in real life
A fantasy version of real events
Ofelia's room is golden
Colour of the rebels
Shows what side she's on
Hidden edits in the labyrinth
Makes the maze more confusing
Just as Mercedes predicted!
Ofelia gets a short cut in the same shot as Vidal is in
Both worlds exist, living and breathing together
The faun gets younger as the film goes on
Makes him seem more suspicious that the faun is tricking Ofelia for his own gain, so that Ofelia has to rely on her rebellious instinct
"You promised to obey me!"
Just like Vidal and the fascists
Testing her
Where's the faun????
From the perspective of Vidal, one who doesn't believe
Shot in the vagina
Bleeds at full moon
Lunar cycle = menstrual cycle = 28 days
Turning Red (2022)
Vidal still gives orders
Doesn't understand what's going on
Obsession with control and order
Shot around the eye
Like the pale man
Like the totem
Represents the cruelty in both worlds
The fantasy world
Ofelia's clothes are red and yellow, the colours of the Spanish flag
The spirit of Spain in human form
Red boots
Wizard of Oz reference
Phallic symbolism on the throne
Still a man's world
Warm and welcoming, like the real world in the opening scene
The opposite of the cold and gloomy fantasy world in the opening scene
Ofelia's world(s)view changes throughout the film based on her opinion on both of them
The real world is back to it's warm and welcoming self
Conflict resolved
The final shot
The nutrients are growing back
Is the fantasy world real???
The flower is yonic shaped
The beauty of a woman's independence
Similar architecture to the Sagrada Familia, a catholic church in Spain
How the Catholic church in Spain should be, compared to the one in the real world
Yonic symbolism on that tree
