When cinema meets art and feelings... a whole new world reveals...

Who can tell the border line between real and imaginary world? Can any of us prove that what someone feels or believes is a lie? Not me for sure...

Reality has many ways to sense it... and the most magical one is...in my opinion...to explore it with your eyes closed and your insight wide open...

"Pan's Labyrinth" was a great opportunity for me to dive in deep thoughts... an unforgettable experience ... and for sure a movie that can hang the audience – is it insane and ridiculous or simply amazing and unique?

For me "Pan's labyrinth" is a masterpiece combining brutality and lyricism… Excellent use of filming and photography along with mystical and intense music…I wouldn't miss that soundtrack from my music collection… But what totally took me by storm was the story… A dark fairy tail … Cruelty opposed to magic… Death and pain, fairies and magic kingdoms, all living in the same world… in little Ofelia's life… And magic is not beautiful… fairies are not seductive and fauns can be evil looking and old… A magic world that ugliness exists… Watching "Pan's labyrinth" the world of Ofelia's cuentos will reveal to you on the big screen…

And then, I ask my self about the movie: "What is it about? Wicked thoughts of an unfortunate girl or a secret world that lot's of us live in and most of us are even afraid to admit it to ourselves?"

Well I am not afraid… I was called crazy…or insane… but at least I am being true to myself… Life has many paths to walk and I have my own way to walk them through… Things don't have to be  pretty or perfect to seduce me… they just have to break my walls and touch me inside… I don't need to use my hands to touch something or my eyes to see… there are things beyond these boundaries…and fairies… spirits... magic… do exist as I believe in them… and I see them with my heart…

What if life is cruel and painful sometimes… what if we live in our own dark cave? What if everyday routine struggle us? There is always a magical moment to take us away… a simple thought that can lead us in an unforgettable journey or a great adventure…

Don't be afraid to feel things… don't isolate your self because you don't have proof s… just let your self free… expand your limits and live… live in your own cuento… it doesn't have to be pretty or happy ending… it will just be your own… unique fairy tail…

Well these are the thoughts of the "little Ofelia" that exists inside of me…the wicked thoughts of me…druantia… who lives somewhere between the true and imaginary world for some… And that druantia will suggest you to watch "Pan's Labyrinth"…not to like it…just thought of it after… it might open some paths for you…
