The style of a film is determined by the director and their own distinctive way of showcasing a film on screen. Looking at Pans Labyrinth, Guillermo Del Toro uses similar styles in the decision of costume choice. Looking at the costume choices below show Del Toro’s style in which both characters (from Pans Labyrinth and Hellboy) both in similar costumes conveying how he likes to present his characters in costumes.
Magic Realism is also an aspect that features in Pans Labyrinth with the fantasy world and magical elements that are present throughout the film. The Magical Realism is demonstrated through the narrative, which encapsulates themes and common ideas that are found in spanish mythology and fairytales. An example of this is the various creatures such as the Pale Man and the Faun, feared monsters which reflect the evils of the world, such as the Fascist Captain that Ofelia must contend with.
