Pan’s Labyrinth. Content Warning.
Pan’s Labyrinth was released on December 29, 2006. In the summer of 1944 in Francoist, Spain eleven-year-old Ofelia and her pregnant but sick mother, Carmen, journey to live with Carmen’s new husband, Captain Vidal. Carmen is bedridden and Ofelia finds time to explore. One night she is visited by a fairy who takes her to a faun. There, she discovers she is the lost princess Moanna and will have to complete three tasks before the full moon in order to return to her kingdom. I have been recommended this film countless times and I finally saw it on Netflix. My neighbor liked how I referred to it as a Spanish Narnia. One fact about this film is in Spanish it is called El Laberinto del Fauno which translates in English to The Labyrinth Of The Faun. Despite the English title it was released as, it has nothing to do with the faun called Pan in Greek Mythology which I had originally thought but that did not sway my interest in the slightest. I only found myself imagining I was a little girl again and going on an adventure.

Book Review: "The Hitler Years" by Frank McDonough (Pt. 2)
This review covers (Triumph) chapters 3 through to the end of 5 *** And so we continue with our review of The Hitler Years (Triumph) and thus it includes the creation of the 'family unit' ideology that is so prevalent in the language of the right wing American doublespeak today. The rolling back of women's roles to those that are confided to the home was a big deal because it meant that more women now had to have more children in order to fill the workforce later on. This comes towards the end of the second chapter and then, in the third chapter, we move into the creation of the Volkswagon and how Hitler was definitely trying to sell the idea that the Nazi Party was one for the average (rather) 'nuclear' family.
