al though alice in wonderland (not the time burton movie i haven't seen it ) is insanely surreal, you can't say pan's labrynth's anything like it ..what you might get outa it might differ from what i got outa it. it doesn't leave you with a definite answer...i know for some people it's a happy ending and for some it's a sad ending

for me it was a happy ending . .
well simply put, it's like this, some times when life's too shitty, it's nice to have a place where you can hide and take a rest.. something like that, goes on in it..
