After Magical Realism made its way into the film, it started appearing most significantly between the late 1980s and early 1990s in film, and its tradition still tracing back to its Latin American roots with films. Many Latin American filmmakers have continued to incorporate this style in film, one of the most prominent being writer-director Guillermo del Toro. His works have become a typical representative of magic realism which originated from Latin American culture. “Pan's Labyrinth” as a milestone in Guillermo del Toro's film is a while as it is beginning for him successfully merging Magical Realism in his film. In this style, there are many scenes of the real world and magic world interlaced - especially fragments are interweaved. But the stories of the real world and magic world are both not completely displayed in the film. Why can audiences recognize the complete story? It rarely can be seen the research from the side of audiences, especially in a proceeding of recognition. So, this paper takes Pan's Labyrinth as an example to analyze how do audiences recognize the complete story when they see an incomplete story? This paper takes Pan's Labyrinth as an example to analyze the perception process of audiences from Gestalt psychology, especially in the “Partial illusion” theory, that could help us to realize how do audiences recognize the whole story and the how does creative participation of perception in the Magical Realism of Guillermo del Toro’s film. Through the method of “Partial illusion Theory” of Rudolf Arnheim's Gestalt psychology film theory, we could discover the Creative Participation of perception between the real world and the magic world and understand how does “Partial illusion” work in Magical Realism of Guillermo del Toro’s film? The research is divided into three parts:1. “Partial illusion” merges the real world and magic world;2. How do a key part and visual elements trigger “Partial illusion”?3. The coexistence aesthetic of the Real-world and magic world. So, this paper is going to analyze that Why audiences can recognize the complete story when they see an incomplete story?

Abstract
After Magical Realism made its way into the film, it started appearing most significantly between the late 1980s and early 1990s in film, and its tradition still tracing back to its Latin American roots with films. Many Latin American filmmakers have continued to incorporate this style in film, one of the most prominent being writer-director Guillermo del Toro. His works have become a typical representative of magic realism which originated from Latin American culture. “Pan's Labyrinth” as a milestone in Guillermo del Toro's film is a while as it is beginning for him successfully merging Magical Realism in his film. In this style, there are many scenes of the real world and magic world interlaced - especially fragments are interweaved. But the stories of the real world and magic world are both not completely displayed in the film. Why can audiences recognize the complete story? It rarely can be seen the research from the side of audiences, especially in a proceeding of recognition. So, this paper takes Pan's Labyrinth as an example to analyze how do audiences recognize the complete story when they see an incomplete story? This paper takes Pan's Labyrinth as an example to analyze the perception process of audiences from Gestalt psychology, especially in the “Partial illusion” theory, that could help us to realize how do audiences recognize the whole story and the how does creative participation of perception in the Magical Realism of Guillermo del Toro’s film. Through the method of “Partial illusion Theory” of Rudolf Arnheim's Gestalt psychology film theory, we could discover the Creative Participation of perception between the real world and the magic world and understand how does “Partial illusion” work in Magical Realism of Guillermo del Toro’s film? The research is divided into three parts:1. “Partial illusion” merges the real world and magic world;2. How do a key part and visual elements trigger “Partial illusion”?3. The coexistence aesthetic of the Real-world and magic world. So, this paper is going to analyze that Why audiences can recognize the complete story when they see an incomplete story? How does “Partial illusion” work in the film?
