Pan's+Labyrinth



Class notes 2/16 (recorded by Michael Hanley):

Discussed realness vs. fakeness of the movie

-Tate leads argument for fakeness. Uses fairy scene and the invisible faun. Both are rebutted. -I lead the argument for realness. Use labyrinth escape and entrance to the captain's room

Mr. Donnelly leans towards fake due to the invisible faun though he admits it is inconclusive.

Filmmaker's opinion doesn't matter. Trust art not artist.
