The Rebellion Both Pan’s Labyrinth (2006) and Inglourious Basterds (2009) have these two very different, yet similar themes within each film. The films take a stand against power, coming from within the film and out of it. Pan’s Labyrinth has a childlike, fairytale side to it, but also a very dark sense of reality and violence.

The combination of imagery and a dreary tone creates the uneasy picture of Hamlet’s state of mind and how he’s unable to come upon a conclusion. As well as how it’s almost impossible to come upon a certainty for only Hamlet knows the ghost’s former self and is one of a small handful of characters that can see it.
