The one who writes a fairy tale can change thousand lives, The one who make a movie on it can change millions of lives. But the one who tell a fairy tale is truly an Angel.

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) Directed by Guillermo del Toro, It seems like he himself has a strong belief in Fairy tales, and the same belief he expresses as a filmmaker on the screen. But in a way others also can not ignore the existence of fairy tales. 3 Oscar winner Pan's Labyrinth is considered one of the highest rated films in the world because of it's illusionary realism.
The Film is based on 1944 fascist Spain, plotted between the struggle of Spanish Army facing the guerrilla attacks by the revolutionaries and a young girl who is fascinated with the the twist and turns of the fairy tales and finally she witness it in reality. The story gradually develops carrying the plot of fairy tale and reality. From narrative, to performance and from performance to the visual effects everything is as convincing as daily life reality.
Like Albert Einstein said "If you want your children to be intelligent tell them fairy tales, If you want them to be more intelligent tell them more fairy tales.
Do we ever think what is life made of ? This is a question most of us don't have answer or may be we all have various opinions about it. But if one has been a student of literature, History and Science can understand it in a convincing manner. That everything has appeared from the imagination, Imagination is womb which gives the birth to the future. All the scientific Invention we see in modern life, It was mentioned long before in a piece of literature. Firstly some body like "Jules Verne" Imagined it, and one of those who believed in it turned it into reality. In summarize way our growth is limited to our imagination and our expansion could be as infinite as our imagination.
The Universe is considered infinite, and so is the imagination and may be one of the universal truth is that whatever we can imagine exist. If we imagine evil, evil exist, if we imagine angels, Angels exist too. But there is another aspect to it, "Belief" Belief is nourishment of the imagination, the more we believe in what we imagine, more effortlessly and soonly it manifest. The world we live in now is the result of our conscious thinking and belief. And we are on the edge of time when our thinking and belief is limited to scientific theories. In the concretized version of the modern world it's rare to witness magic & Miracles. And it seems like an uncommon phenomenon, and these days people rarely believe in it except the children and some psychics. But it still exist, Yesterday I was reading a news on India TODAY which mentioned "How a woman who was about to be raped by a pervert, saved miraculously when a cobra snake appeared out of no where on the sight. People may call it just a co-incidence and deny the magic of it, But you believe or not it is still a miracle. And All of us have witness similar moments once or more than once in our life times.
Most of us perceive life in two aspects Negative and Positive, No body wants to experience the negative while everybody wants to grab the positive. In reality negative or evil or demonic experience are the skeleton view of positive and Angelic and harmonious experiences. We all must take a journey through the time with belief in our heart to witness the miraculous. All the fairy tales explains it well and proves it well. because the realm of fairy tales is timeless and endless, It begins by saying "Once upon a time..." and ends by saying "Happily ever after..." or similar sentences. So that it should be always relevant and for everyone.
While watching Pan's Labyrinth, I experienced extreme positivity and developed a belief in the miraculous. I think we are going through a time when Adults need to read and listen more fairy tales than the children. It can heal and cure the toxicity of human life more than the scientific medicines.
If any child reading this Article, I request you to tell your Parents, Uncles or elders a fairy tell before they go to sleep.
The one who writes a fairy tale can change thousands of lives, And the one who make a movie on it can change millions of lives. But the one who tell a fairy tale is truly an Angel. So, tell somebody a fairly tale today.
And now I will go for the dinner by mentioning the following lines from Pan's Labyrinth
"And it is said that the Princess returned to her father's kingdom. That she reigned there with justice and a kind heart for centuries. she was loved by her people. And she left behind small traces of her time on Earth, visible only to those who know where to look."
Good Night & Sweet Dreams.
