Is there a charcter named Pan in the film “Pan’s Labyrinth”?
I couldn’t find the character Pan in the credits, does he exist in the film?
Why is the film titled “Pan’s Labyrinth” instead of “The Labyrinth of the Faun” (which is the literal translation of the Spanish tilte and would make more sense since the Labyrinth belongs to the Faun) or “The Faun’s Labyrinth”?
Does the name Pan refer to the Pale Man? If so, why would the title of the film refer to such a minor character?
screw you and suck MY chicana
Pan refers to the faun that the little girl takes her secret orders from.
In greek mythology, Pan was a half-goat half-man god. So they used his name to sort of imply the general idea of a man-goat.
The faun’s labyrinth refers to the web of secrets and trials that he weaves to test the girl, I think, more so than the actual labyrinth in the movie.

Top 3 Horror Foreign Films
This particular movie genre is often confused and misrepresented. While it has many fans across the world, several films which fall in different categories are placed under the “horror” label and they are accepted by the general public. Sites which should provide a good definition of horror, such as the site with the same domain name, features movies such as “Pan’s Labyrinth” in such genre which is absolutely erroneous. Movies such as Pans’s Labyrinth fall within the “Fantasie/Sci-Fi” genre which has nothing to do with horror.
To have a better idea of what this particular genre involves we can define horror films such as: “films that are designed to elicit fright, fear, terror, or horror from viewers. In horror film plots, evil forces, events, or characters, sometimes of supernatural origin, intrude into the everyday world.”
Keeping this definition in mind, the best horror movies tend to leave a certain impression in the viewer. Movies such as “Hostel” or “Saw”, while they are very cool in their own “gory way” fail to deliver the after effects of a good horror movie, for instance, after watching any of the previously mentioned films, an average horror movie fan would go to bed like nothing ever happened, however, if the same viewer were to see a good foreign horror movie such as “The Ring – AKA Ringu” or “Dark Water”, right at the time to turn off the lights and go to bed, an overwhelming feeling of fear takes over; and that’s exactly the way we know that the movie we have seen is a great “horror” movie.
Films which show a Great Deal of killing are “disturbing” but we all know that if a killer were to attack any of us we’d have a way to fight back, after all, regardless of how twisted a killer might be, he/she is still human. On the other hand, films which portray evil spirits, ghosts, apparitions and demons are a whole different story; what is really frightening to us humans is the fact that if we were in the actor’s shoes we’d realize that “There is absolutely NO way to fight back against these forces”, and relying on a sacred object is not as reassuring as having a weapon which we know is going to injure or vanish whoever or whatever is after us, of course this is all figurative speech, we are just illustrating a point!
Asian horror movies tend to deliver the right blow as far as horror movies go. Since not much is invested in “special effects” they focus their efforts towards ‘the story’ which is way more effective and leaves a stronger impression. All of the movies mentioned below were so good that each had an english remake, which had visual effects improvements in the remake but as many hardcore-horror movie fans can tell, the story might have been ruined which fails to deliver the horrifying effects (in the viewers) compared to the original. Good examples of such movies are:
Ringu: This is also known as “The Ring”. The story revolves around a girl’s death story and the way she was apparently killed by her own parents, then thrown into the depths of a well where she now lives, and escapes into the real world through a cursed Video Tape in order to take revenge and kill people.
Dark Water (Honogurai mizu no soko kara): This is a particularly exceptional Japanese production which shows bone chilling scenes of a little girl who all she ever wanted was to have a mother, even after death! The title describes part of how she died and the element she used to haunt people.
Ju-On: The title translates to english as “The Curse of the Grudge”. This particular movie has no happy ending compared to American movies where the vengeful spirit is exorcised at the end. The story revolves around a house where a mother and a child were murdered by the father, and the way that these spirits come back to hunt whoever who lies within the walls of this residence.
Very few american movies have taken the horror movie making factors into their own productions. The very best example we have of a good english horror movie is “Silent Hill” which was derived from a video game but had a terrific story and amazingly frightening special effects. Besides such rare movies, asian films know how to deliver bone chilling productions relying mostly on good story telling rather than gory scenes and visual effects. Other Asian movie recommendations are: A tale of two sisters, Phone, Premonition, Uzumaki, The Cure.

Is Ilford Pan F 50 still available in 35mm roll film?
I am looking for a roll of Ilford Pan F 50 (24 or 36 exposures)
but it seems that it is only available in 120 format or in 35mm format as a 30m length roll.
If Pan F 50 is available in 35mm, 24 or 36 exposure rolls, where can I buy it and approximately what is the cost?
thanks
I live in Australia.
Finished 35mm rolls have always outsold bulk rolls and other formats by a significant margin. If a film is being discontinued, the finished, packaged 35mm rolls would be the last thing to go.
It seems like you may be dealing with a local/temporary shortage. I checked several larger dealers here in the United States, all of whom show it as being in stock.
Film sales are low enough these days that many retailers tend to be quite conservative with ordering and stocking film for fear that it will expire and then have to be trashed or sold at a loss. Thus, they often run out of film if someone comes through with an unusually large order. This happens on the corporate level sometimes, too. Ilford Australia may be sold out of finished 35mm rolls and waiting on the factory in England to send them more.
By the way, if you really need some and don’t mind ordering overseas, B&H Photo here in the United States has 36-exposure rolls in stock at a cost of $5.45 each.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
