TNRabbit Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I saw it and thought it was pretty good; although I'd stop short of saying it's a MUST see. It was very different & creative. One of the things I noted was that the "violence" was very untypical of Hollyewood (i.e., when shot in the head, a character's head didn't explode) but most of the folks in the theater where I saw if were incredibly shocked by it (for example, when the Major's face was cut). There was an inordinate amount of shooting in the film...I guess the Spanish had unlimited bullets in the waning period of WWII... I found it interesting that the only American in the movie played the two creatures (Pan & the creature at the table full of food) and that he was a voice-over. Overall, very dark & creative. Thought-provoking. The ending was very Narnia-esque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddvj Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 The ending was very Narnia-esque? Actually it was completely the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jheis Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Looking forward to seeing the movie, but haven't seen it yet. However, the Spanish civil war was the preamble to - and the fascist testbed for - WWII. It did not occur in the "waning stages" of the war.
