N brush, Spanish magic realism, Del Toro representative work. 1. The film is composed of mythology and reality. The mythology part is the experience of the lost princess returning to the underground kingdom, and the reality part is the story of the failure of the fascist captain Vader to encircle and suppress the guerrillas. The princess Ophelia of the Underground Kingdom is the stepdaughter of Captain Vader of Fascism. Through the interweaving of myth and reality in the film, the director makes metaphors and reflections on the modern history of Spain from 1930 to 1944. 2. The defeated guerrilla resistance of the left and the violent suppression of the right government. Ophelia's left-leaning stance covers the whole film, starting with filling the left eye of the stone statue, the left-right confrontation when shaking hands, and choosing the left from the crypt. 3. Father: dictatorship; daughter: revolution; mother: people; underground kingdom: utopia of idealists; son is a new hope (white flowers blooming in fig trees) towards the confusion. 4. Toad/devil/grape/dagger/pocket watch/mandela. 5. The repressive dull gray tones of reality and the mild golden brilliance of mythological metaphors. (9.0/10)
