Pan's Labyrinth

I watched this movie over the weekend. It is a fascinating movie and the storyline is interesting. I don't want to give it away.
The only problem with this movie is that it is in spanish and subtitled in English. If you don't mind reading the subtitles while watching a movie, I would definitly recommend it.
My son watched this movie and cried at the end. It was a sad ending.

this is one of my favorite movies of all time - on my top 5 list. I think there is already a thread for this movie somewhere on this site.

Great movie.

At the video store I work at, we had to tell so many parents that it wasn't a children's film. ha.

Ya the two biggest complains were, "I didn't know this movie was subtitled", and "my child is now traumatized for life"

haha.. If people would only learn to read.

i thought the subtitles were great because it caused me to focus on the screen even more and not miss anything.

Same. I love foreign films, but you 'd be surprised how many illiterate weirdos flat out refuse to watch anything with subtitles.

I feel the same way. Why limit yourself to only movies in English when the rest of the world makes some great movies too? They're really missing out.

I actually prefer turning on subtitles and captions whenever they're available, not just because I have some mild hearing difficulties but I find they often provide interesting insights into the movie. Sometimes indistinct background conversations are captioned, or the words to a song on the radio. Sometimes even just knowing the spelling of a word or name in the movie helps you get a deeper understanding.

(Of course, you're equally as likely to find a crappy captioning job where they leave stuff out or get it wrong. Way to help deaf people!)
