Romance Notes
EL director mexicano Guillermo del Toro ha creado una obra maestra con El laberinto del fauno. En la superficie, es una pelicula de fantasia que incorpora los elementos del tipico cuento de hadas; asi, se rinde a un analisis facil segun las ideas formalistas de Vladimir Propp a este nivel. Sin embargo, surge una interpretacion mas profunda si se considera el ambito socio-politico dentro del trasfondo historico de la obra. Segun del Toro, "In the movie, Ofelia is a 'princess who forgot who she was and where she came from,' who progresses through the labyrinth to emerge as a promise that gives children the chance never to know the name of their father--the fascist. It's a parable ... of the Spanish Civil War" (Kermode 21). Esta explicacion es insuficiente porque la accion toma lugar cinco anos despues del fin de la guerra civil; ademas, hay mas que queda bajo la superficie simbolica de las imagenes. De hecho, se ve la cruel realidad de la opresion vengativa y franquista de la post-guerra contrapuesta a la esperanza invencible de los republicanos cuyo sueno de libertad, justicia e igualdad promete la futura democracia espanola. Por lo tanto, la pelicula es una alegoria que significa el triunfo de la republica sonada con su libertad prometida. En terminos de estructura, el film comienza como el tradicional cuento de hadas: "Cuentan que hace mucho, mucho tiempo ... en el reino subterraneo ... donde no existen la mentira ni el dolor ... vivia una princesa que sonaba con el mundo de los humanos" (del Toro). Esta abertura es formulaica; sin embargo, presenta las dimensiones del espacio (el reino subterraneo) y del tiempo (el pasado remoto de un locus amoenus vis a vis la realidad cruel) que sugieren un lugar exotico y un tiempo mitologico. Paralelo a estas dimensiones sintagmaticas, se ve las paradigmaticas del movimiento subterraneo de los rebeldes y el tiempo historico. Ademas, la princesa suena con el mundo de los humanos, lo cual insinua que el significado latente es que el mundo bajo Franco es inhumano. El simbolo de esta inhumanidad historica es el reloj que el Capitan Vidal (el representante de Franco) siempre mira para asegurar su percibido control de la epoca, su momento historico. Para el, es el momento cronologico, pero Ofelia y los rebeldes siguen el tiempo mitologico.
