Comments on: El Laberinto Del Fauno (Pan’s Labyrinth) http://www.crazymokes.com/2007/01/pans-labyrinth/ where good people come to read drivel Fri, 03 Sep 2010 20:03:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Linda http://www.crazymokes.com/2007/01/pans-labyrinth/comment-page-1/#comment-294 Linda Mon, 05 Feb 2007 22:01:00 +0000 http://69.89.31.212/~crazymok/?p=541#comment-294 I was annoyed by that, too. But this was a sad realization I came to in 1997 (after I learned to speak Spanish while traveling) (I swam!) ... most subtitling alters not a few things. And it leaves out a great deal. Most notably, subtleties. What we need here is some subtle subtitling. I am greatly amused rightnow by the thought of my students in Korea trying to get their minds around pronouncing that, "subtle subtitling." Oh, the big ol' circle of ironies of language! As for the actual movie - um, I read a lot about it, too, but, um, I sort of accepted that as really happening and not just in her imagination. Oops? Am I a crazy fairy-story artist dreamer or a law student, what's the deal? I was annoyed by that, too.

Just like we didn't know what a philosopher's stone was either. In fact, upon hearing the title "Pan's Labyrinth", the entire nation wondered just what a frying pan had to do with David Bowie. ^_^ Of course they had to rename it to Pan’s Labyrinth, we stupid americans don’t know what a faun is.

I kept seeing people write about "Pen's Labyrinth", so I kept expecting there to be a Penelope or something that could be shortened to "Pen". We got to the end of the movie, and I had to ask Clayton if I'd missed something, because there wasn't a Pen in the movie :P. I really liked it. I'm glad they didn't ruin the ending the way Disney has ruined the little mermaid story. We were annoyed by the title translation also.
