Excellent movie about a child struggles

Rating: 9/10 (9 October 2014)

This review contains spoilers!
This movie is more than it meets the eye. The details that are not noticeable at first make this movie a true masterpiece. First there is Ofelia, a small girl who's father is killed (was a tailor - group of people fond of fairy tales). I am guessing that her connection to her father were those stories (she asks Mercedes - a person she felt connected to the most, to tell her a fairy tale).
She clings to her stories, reading them, and slowly but surely her illness gets stronger (schizophrenia). Everything she imagines in her head has logical explanations.
Lets start with the Pale Man (quest no.2). He is actually representing Captain Vidal (same sitting at the head of the table with fire behind him). He represents evil. Why does he puts his eyes in? Its a connection to her start (putting the eye in the figure when the "fairy" popped out of the mouth)
The faun is nothing more but a creature that emerges as a result of labyrinth, woods, and a whole lot of carved fauns into banisters.
Fairy - she read books about fairies just when she traveled. Why the key in quest 2 ? Well in her real world key is something important. Key is medicine and most importantly food. And she didn't eat for almost a day prior to quest 2.
One thing i read about this movie that i agree is that color coding exists. Blue is usually representing reality (dark blue). Red/Golden colors imaginary world. The colors melt into one another as does Ofelia's mind with reality and imaginary.
She has been lied in her world, by the faun, by the fairies. (The keyhole). Two "dead" fairies from the pale man are later alive in the final scene - meaning it was all a fake. Even in her own mind.
Two things i don't get - why even in her own mind where she created a better place did she felt the need to lie to herself, and second why does the faun reverse age ? And might those 2 be connected... Gotta love this movie !
