I went to go see the movie with my girlfriend some time ago, and although I liked the movie I was expecting more of a fairy tale as the trailers seem to imply. Thinking about it I guess it is still a fairy tale during the “realistic” scenes, because the film can be seen to serve as an allegory against fascism. I thought it was interesting that Doug Jones who portrayed not only the Pale Man, but the Faun as well had to memorize not only his own lines in phonetic Spanish, but as a result of the loudness of the servos in the head piece that made the facial expressions and ears move of the Faun costume he had to learn Ofelia’s lines as well… or so I read.
