Pan's Labyrinth: A Cinematic Ode to Hope Beyond Existence
Переглядів 1,3 тис.2 місяці тому
The meaning of Pan's Labyrinth can be found in the words spoken in the eulogy. Because the paths to the Lord are inscrutable. Because the essence of His forgiveness lies in His word and in His mystery. Because although God sends us the message, it is our task to decipher it. Because when we open our arms the earth takes in only a hollow and senseless shell. Far away now is the soul in its etern...

Truman's Unconquerable Soul

The Truman Show, starring Jim Carrey, came out in 1998, and it's still relevant today. What is it about this simple Adam and Eve metaphor that still resonates with us? "Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul."

    This is deeply spiritual. Pi is said to be Christian but at this point in time he’s still holding on to his Hindu beliefs. The island itself represents Vishnu, but knowing this give this a closer look. It represents how following after other gods except the one true God may start off peaceful and things may seem perfect, but when the day is gone the true nature of the false gods are revealed to be carnivorous. This can be seen if one parallels the island to Vishnu and the allegory for Pi finding rest in Vishnu aka the island. Again Pi is Christian so a fellow Christian may see what i’m talking about.

    The movie is a fantasy comedy. We love it because we would all have loved to be like Ferris in High school. But if you want to take a serious look at it, Ferris is really a bad dude. In the original script, he steals money from his dad's safe to pay for the day. Taking the car is a real dik move that in real life would incur severe consequences for both him and Cameron. The way he lies so much to his parents is pretty bad.

      @@marcwright8395 Tim Blake Nelson is one of my heroes. Thank you for mentioning him. And you are right, when the script was completed it was "Based on the Odyssey" as it says in the opening credits. My point, which came from an interview with the Cohen brothers on the Charlie Rose show was about the writing of the script and how they realized it was Odyssey-like mid way through the writing process and then went with it. You can see the clip from that interview on my other O Brother video that I made. Now, I can't stop watching Tim Blake Nelson interviews. He is so good!
