Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (2022)
Director Giral Modello's version of the wooden figure Pinocchio has come out. This is Guillermo's first animated film. Unlike the original stories, it is not set in the 1800s, but after World War I It is based around the 1930s when Mussolini came to power in Italy. It's not a regular animation, but a stop motion type, so it's still kind of innovative. And because the director's usual children's story is presented with slightly darker concepts Older audiences will enjoy it more. Pan's Labyrinth was also based on the Spanish Civil War This story is also based on the real political situation in Italy. And the name of the dead son of the sculptor Gippetto is added as Carlo. I think it's a tribute to Carlo Collodi, who wrote the original Pinocchio story. It was filmed after 1 hour and 57 minutes, making it the longest stop motion film. Guillermo's usual metaphors, It will be interesting to watch as it adds something to think about. For example, the villain Count Voppie (Vopie means fox in Italian) because he has a long nose The story of "the more you lie, the longer your nose" seems to be depicted in humans. I've seen and read the story of Pinocchio many times, but this time, let's experience it in a different way.
