      Fairy tales lie to you...

      The absurd and dark fairy tale "The Brothers Grimm" starred by Duomeng and Heath Ledger in 2005, in today's opinion, is quite in line with my bad taste aesthetic.

      The story is based on the Grimm's Fairy Tales I read when I was a child - Jack and the Pea, Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, Hansel and Gretel's Candy House, Snow White and the Magic Mirror, and the Frog Prince who led the way after being kissed. , Cinderella's crystal slipper, Sleeping Beauty awakened by a kiss,...

      I think the movie is totally ok

      First of all, many details of this movie are handled very well. The heroine is very beautiful, she is the hunter.

      Second Brother Grimm, big sophistication, small naive. Little Green saves the world and writes Grimm's fairy tales, I think it's close to reality. Although facing bloody brutality, just like the warlord squad leader who "abandoned evil and turned to good", Little Grimm still wrote fairy tales. It's not that he believes the world is beautiful, it's just that he can only see...

      The Brothers Grimm

      Well, this movie is a dark fairy tale, with all kinds of blood and disgust. It is recommended not to show it to children. It has absolutely no innocence and beauty of "Grimm's Fairy Tales".

      The film begins with the Green family. The younger sister was seriously ill in bed, and the elder brother Will Green and his mother were at home waiting for the younger brother Jack Green to return from selling cattle and take money to treat the younger sister. But when his younger brother came...

      Basically a standard movie with girls

      It doesn't matter if men watch it or not, but it's definitely a good movie with a girl.
      There are mainly two types of girls now. 1. Introverted, in fact, the family education is relatively strict, that is, the parents are stricter before graduating from high school.
      The second is that parents are not so strict. Basically, smoking, drinking, clubbing, and nightclubs are common occurrences.
      But no matter what kind of girl, fairy tales still have a certain appeal to girls....

      fairy tale in dream

      Fake ghost meets real ghost
          and let a pair of swindlers beat the magic queen? It seems so absurd, but it is so in the Brothers Grimm. Although the brothers have no way to defeat magic, they know the direction of the story through fairy tales. Will at first didn't believe that the fairy tales Jack was talking about were what they were going through now, and he was stubborn and got a lot of trouble.
                                      Another ancient story is interspersed in the...

      Nothing to do with Grimm's fairy...

      This film is an alternative fairy tale full of fantasy. It abandons the stereotyped biographies and illustrates the adventures of the Brothers Grimm with unique angles and illusory plots. It can even be said that they are completely new fictional characters. In fact, such a magical story is not very exciting, but I can actually watch it patiently. Heath Ledger's performance is a bit interesting. Also at first I thought of Lena Headey as Keira Knightley...

    Movie plot

    The Brothers Grimm-Will Green ( Matt Damon ) and Jack Green ( Heathy ) are a pair of idlers who make a living from fraud. They traveled around different places, first hired people to pretend to be monsters to wreak havoc in that place, and then appeared as exorcists to "destroy monsters" and earn rewards from local residents. In this way, the days of deception passed day by day, and The Brothers Grimm became more and more famous, even...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The role of Matt Damon, who played William Green, was an important dance scene in the film, and he received a three-week intensive training in tango before filming.
    One of the most expensive shots in the filming was deleted in post-production, because the shooting date of this shot was earlier, and the time of the story screen was disconnected from the time when the story happened later. Later, the director Gilliam put this shot in In...

    • Will Grimm: Ignore him. He wishes his whole life was something out of a book. And now he thinks he's in love.

      Jacob Grimm: Shut up, Will!

      Will Grimm: Angelika, do what your father wanted: leave the village now.

      Angelika: No, Will. I'm gonna find my sisters.

      Jacob Grimm: Will doesn't care about them. Will doesn't care about anything but himself!

      Will Grimm: This isn't a fairy tale. They are not coming back!

      Jacob Grimm: This is not your world, Will!

      [to Angelika]

      Jacob Grimm: Angelika, you know, don't you? The story, it's happening to us now. We're living it. It's-it's alive, it's real, it's breathing. And we can give it a happy ending.
