Looking to escape the bitter realities of the modern era? You’re in luck! There’s a whole genre dedicated to doing exactly that! Well, in reality the fantasy genre attempts to examine real world problems through an unreal lens – but I think we can all agree that escapism is why we’re drawn to the genre in the first place. Could I draw parallels between the pursuit of justice in the modern world and the good and evil battles in The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King? Yes. Am I gonna? I mean, yes, but sometimes I’d rather focus on the gay subtext between its two hobbit stars – making headcanons is the most glorious form of escapism, after all. If you’re exhausted by the unending horrors of real life, it’s time to retreat into the safety of the ten best fantasy movies of the 21st century.
Pan’s Labryinth
(Warner Bros. Pictures)In a list dedicated to escaping the horrors of the real world, Guillermo Del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth might not be a good place to start. The story is set in the aftermath of the very real Spanish Civil War, and follows a young girl named Ofelia whose mother has decided to marry a fascist soldier – faux pas. While rambling the woods outside a manor, Ofelia is led to a decrepit labyrinth that serves as a gateway to the spiritual world. She’s tasked by an ancient faun to complete three trials that will allow her to become an immortal princess, if she doesn’t get eaten alive first. This dark rhapsody features some of the most terrifying creatures in fantasy – the child eating Pale Man being one, and Ofelia’s sociopathic stepfather Captain Vidal being the other. Just like how art imitates life, fantasy imitates reality in Pan’s Labyrinth – and neither world is kind.
