I'm the only one that thought that the faun was "a bad guy" in some scenes of the movie?
I mean, like the time that he asked Ofelia to get her brother cause they needed him...
I don't know, for me, that guy looked like he shouldn't be trusted.

The Faun was creepy as hell. No way I would trust him just by appearance alone. However, he ended up being a true good guy and Ofelia's servant. When she denies him just "a pinprick" that is one of the strongest scenes I've ever seen. Huge, scary, threatening monster with a dagger and Ofelia is like "F you, you're not touching my brother." Awesome.
shareYes, I wondered all along how trustworthy the faun was. You were supposed to wonder about that. And it was more than just what it looked like; it was something shifty in the way it acted. Just goes to show how well done the movie really was.

Strip away the phony tinsel of Hollywood and you find the real tinsel underneath.
No, he only appeared that way to test her, to see if Ofilia would blindly follow his orders or would follow her conscience like the true princess would. Honestly before I saw the film, I thought the Pale Man was the main antagonist. That's my one complain about this film is that the fantasy element could've been expanded more. All that rebellion/war stuff did nothing for me. During those scenes I was just thinking "yeah yeah, dictators, fascism blah blah blah. Can we get back to the faun and magical creatures now?"
