Well I've seen the movie in parts, I have always seemed to have caught the movie during bad times where I can't sit down and watch it completely. I've always been led to believe that what the girl goes through represents Franco or life under Franco. That's what the general opinion of the film is alluring too.

yeah I can imagine the plot, but still, so much serious things to say about the partisan fight in 1944 in Europe, including Spain, despite they loss in 1939.
Anyway, the movie has to be seen also as a proof of the rise of a renewed interest about the Civil War and the Spanish Revolution in Spain, something that is kind of taboo.

Well you're seeing it everywhere. It was taboo for Germans to make movies about what happened between 1920-1945 and now all of a sudden the past years have been flooded with movies like that. Then there's the East German movies "Good bye Lenin" which is apparently a comedy, yet doesn't come off that way. Ostalgie has become big now.

Just saw yesterday that they did a remake of Journey to the Center of the Earth, an adaptation of Jules Vernes classic Voyage au centre de la Terre. With Brendan Fraser, in 3D, looks terribly modified from the book. Critics don't like it but supposely kids love it. It plays at Silvercity in Metrotown. The old 1959 version was naive and delicious. |

I remember seeing that old version as a kid......and if it's the same one I'm thinking of.....I even remember the actors name after all these years.  Bo Svenson...Svensen ? I thought he was the dreamiest. |

Space will probably pass the old movie. They did that for War of the Worlds. Voyage au centre de la Terre (Journey to the center of the Earth) inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for his Lost World. |

Somehow I've attached a name to this guy and it's the wrong name. It's the guy on the far right. I have just learned his name is Peter Ronson (which rings no bells at all) But I still remember that face.  |

Ah Hans the icelandic guy who his only love is for Gertrud, his goose ?  Sadly in the new version there seems to be only Brendan Fraser and 2 kids.  I want to identify myself to a Hans, not a kid.  |
