    Mixing Fantasy and History in El Laberinto del Fuano “El Laberinto del Fuano” is a film by Guillermo Del Toro that combines fantasy with reality. Set in post-civil war Spain, the film follows the story of Ofelia, a young girl obsessed with fairy stories, who is told by a faun that she is in reality the Princess Moana of the underworld, and must complete three tasks in order to return to her kingdom. The use of fantasy in the film does not trivialise the historical standpoint, but rather emphasises it by representing recognisable figures during the war as fantastical creatures, as well as through the increasing violence of the film. Arguably, the use of fantasy does overshadow the historical standpoint in the final scene by portraying new hope and erasing the nationalist presence; whereas in reality, Spain would continue to be marked by the Nationalist regime for many years to come. To begin with, the fantastical characters increasingly appear to reflect actors in the civil war.…

Agora’s attempt to describe the dynamic of the conflict between Christianity and pagan Neoplatonism, especially the violence employed and shifting power, falls short of the true historical complexity by simplifying and distorting the historical narrative. Agora’s portrayal of the Christian faction known as the parabalani and their involvement with the widespread violence against dissidents, such as the pagan Neoplatonists, aligns with the historical record, although the film does not fully explain the parabalani’s relationship with Cyril, the bishop of Alexandria. Mitchell describes the parabalani as “supposedly teams of paramedics, who were organized into a virtual regiment of vigilantes,” under the direct control of Cyril to enforce his will with brutality (Mitchell 298).…
