Pan's Labyrinth By Guillermo Del Toro
Guillermo Del Toro is a director that likes to portray fairy tales, myth and legends and science fiction stories using magic, fantasy, horror, darkness, creatures and monsters. The two films that I have selected to study and analyse are Pacific Rim and Pan’s Labyrinth. Pacfic Rim (2013) is a fantasy, science fiction story that tells of how aliens, (Kaiju) come from a disastrous, dying and chaotic underground oceanic world with their objective to destroy mankind. To defend their Planet, mankind manufacture robots called Jaegers that are used by two pilots that control the neural bridge so that two pilots bond with each other to link their memories.

    The Notebook

    The Notebook is one of my favorite love movies of all time. The reason I love this movie so much is because that main characters Noah and Allie go through so many trials and finally end up together in the end. This movie I feel shows me how strong their love for each other really was and I now feel as if it is meant to be it will always find a way. Looking at the movie as a reference to get a better understanding of how lifespan development works, I realized that most of the trials that Noah and Allie went though were part of stages of development. The theory of stages of development was created by Erik Erikson, he believes that we go though certain stages in our life and if we do not get passed them properly we will end up with underdeveloped skills in our lives. The Notebook has many different stages that the main characters go though such as, stage eight, integrity vs. despair, stage five, identity vs. identity confusion, and stage six, intimacy vs. isolation.…

    Pacific Rim is Del Toro's love letter to the monster movies of his childhood, and it represents the director at the peak of unabashed delight. It is a spectacle in its truest sense, a film that aims to synthesize adolescent wonder, and succeeds in zany, punch drunk style.…

    The Shining: 1980's Horror Film By Stanley Kubrick

    The Shining is a 1980’s horror film directed by Stanley Kubrick. The horror film is based on Stephen King’s novel The Shining. The Shining is a classic horror film that uses death and insanity to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. The Shining is as psychological as horror gets. This film didn’t show us cheap tricks, loud noises, or dramatic bloody scene like the average horror film.

The Shining also could be seen as a Drama. The genre, Drama, focuses on the characters and the realistic emotional struggles they face. We see resentment, frustration, annoyance, insanity, etc.…

    The Bible and Pan's Labyrinth

    In 1944 fascist Spain, a girl named Ofelia, fascinated and obsessed with fairy-tales, is sent along with her pregnant mother to live with her new stepfather, a ruthless and somewhat evil captain of the Spanish army. During the night, she meets a fairy who takes her to an old faun in the center of an old labyrinth garden. Upon meeting the Faun, he tells her she is the lost Princess, Moanna, and that her father, the king of the underworld, has sent out messengers to open portals so she could return. However, because there is only one portal left she must be tested and carry out three tasks to prove her “essence” is still intact and that she hasn’t become mortal. Though it is subtle, the movie, Pan’s Labyrinth uses quite a few references to the bible to tell it’s story.…

    Harry Potter, The Sorcerer's Stone

    In Harry Potter, the Sorcerer’s Stone movie many characters severed as foils to each other. A foil is one character that serves as a contrast to another. First, I will talk about Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy.

As the movie progressed, Draco continued to develop as a foil he went to the house of Slytherin, bullied Harry’s friends, and serves as an enemy to Harry. Harry not knowing he was a wizard makes him feel lesser and not as entitled as Draco.

    Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner

    Introduction: “The aim of psychoanalysis therapy is to release repressed emotions and experiences, i.e. make the unconscious conscious.”(McLeod). Sigmund Freud was the brains behind this theory. He believed that this theory would help behavioral disorders in his patients and with other people who needed the help. His theory consists of three areas of our mind, which is how we deal with our conscience. These three areas should be balanced out throughout a person's life to be considered “healthy”. The three areas in our minds are The Id, The Ego, and the Super Ego. In Khaled Hosseini's novel , The Kite Runner, the main character Amir, easily reflects one of these three areas. Amir was in the mind area of The Id, he goes through situations…
