Sé que "pena" significa "shame". "worthwhile" viene de "shame" ....me confunde

Otro vez, gracias
It's a good term to know. A closer definition would be "worth the trouble".

CrOtALiTo, I love just about everything about this move, from the storyline, the acting, the recreation of the town of Stalingrad, and even the score (music/soundtrack) ¡Es todo buenísimo!
Yes you are right, it liked me so much, and well I think that the movie tells you about the said history of one person who fight with the war in that time, and well, the actor showed much knowledge about the war, I don't know anything about the movie that you said me before, but I will investigate about the movie later.


I like the movies and well the movies are my own world inside of my head.

A mí Almodóvar no me gusta nada, debe ser muy bueno y yo no entiendo nada de cine, pero no me gusta.

Estaba viendo el fin de semana Camino, de Javier Fesser. Estaba disfrutando con la peli hasta que se me fastidió el aparato. A ver si se puede arreglar y la acabo de ver. Lo que vi me encantó, aunque se ve que es una película bastante polémica.

Y el director Carlos Saura tambien es excelente. Me encantan sus películas. La última "Fado" en portuguese me fascinaba. "Carmen"

Yo miraba una película en español solamente, y esa está "Pan's Laberynth". Pero, a la tiempo, no estuve estudiar español, y no atenté comprender (leía los subtítulos solamente).

Isn't Pan's in a fairly regionalized dialect?

No, not as far as I could tell. The accent is Spanish from Spain (FYI ironically many Latinos identify that accent as puro gallego--in reality gallego is another language all together) and it sounds really different from Latin American accents.

Ah. Every time I think about the movie, I picture Latin American spanish, so maybe that's why I thought it was in a regional dialect.

I may have to rent it again and to to listen to the spanish this time; though I can garuntee I wouldn't understand most of it.

Don't expect to understand it, but renting it again is not a bad idea.
If it has an option for Spanish (not English) subtitles for hearing impaired
it can help you a lot. Just reading along may help you understand the actors better.
Now that you know the plot, you could focus on things like the words. If I remember correctly there are some really strong dramatic words and acting. I can't remember the exact words she said right before she killed the villain in it end, but I sure understood them, and they gave me a chill.

Quizás me equivocaba, pero cuando miré PANS LABYRINTH, ellos usaron "vosotros" muchos, entonces creo que sea España española
