two magic sticks

Unexpected film, the title of the film will think it is a biography of the Brothers Grimm, but it turns out to be a dark fantasy farce, and the Brothers Grimm who appear in it are not the familiar fairy tale writers, but two people who go south and north to cheat food and drink. The god of sleep deceit. If it weren't for the elements of Grimm's fairy tales appearing in the film from time to time, it would almost be considered that this Grimm is not a Grimm.

Childhood is long gone, and I can still recognize Little Red Riding Hood (the girl who disappeared first, see the poster above), Cinderella (the crystal slipper on Shasa's quilt), Snow White (the queen's mirror), etc. Atmosphere or embellishment flashed by. I don't know the intention of director Terry Gilliam. Is his attitude towards fairy tales ironic or reactionary? The solemnity of black magic is not what he wants to emphasize. You will understand when you see the silt monsters that appear in the well water. If it weren't for the lack of human figures, I would almost think it was Jim Carrey's nonsense study. The special effects are performed by the famous Lip Sync Post company, which has successfully produced special effects for films such as "Mission Impossible", "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", "Batman" and other films. I think the film is super fake and super bad, and it is a little more limited than Wuji. Terry Gilliam clearly lacks the respect that Tim Burton has when it comes to the dark forces.

However, Terry Gilliam's weirdness has a long history. "12 Monkeys" Twelve Monkeys is his most famous work. This weird film is one of Wang Daxiong's favorites. I hereby invite Daxiong to interpret it for everyone in the comments below. For a moment, I was confused when I looked at it. And, of course, mentioning The Meaning of Life, which won him the "Jury Prize" in Cannes, which opened Hollywood's doors to him.

There's Matt Damon in the lead, and I don't like him very much. He always smells like a bitch. Heath Ledger, an Australian actor, is just popular, he is featured in Ang Lee's new film "Brokeback Mountain". Monica Bellucci, no need to introduce any more, the most beautiful woman in Italy, maybe the most beautiful woman in the world, Shun Lao's favorite fantasy object for many years, if you don't believe me, take Shun Lao's private plate "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" Take it out and check, it's guaranteed to be full of handprints :)

Boring movie, or I didn't understand it.

The Brothers Grimm quotes

  • Hidlick: How comes he gets to do the monsters, I end up playin' the girlie ghosts?

    Will Grimm: Because you, my friend, have talent. You've got range.

    Bunst: And what do I have, Will?

    Will Grimm: You, my handsome friend, you have heart.

    Jacob Grimm: And you, Will, have enough bullshit to fill the Palace of Versailles.

  • Woodsman: Angelika, look. You see that window, way, way up high? Many centuries ago, that's where the Queen lived. She was treasured by all of Europe, famed for her incredible beauty, but also vain and selfish. Her world was her own reflection. It was on the Queen's wedding day that the plague arrived. The King was the first to die. His bride built a tower. She locked herself away, safe from the horrors below. But what she forgot, was that plague is carried on the winds. When she first fell sick, and her gorgeous flesh began to rot away, they say you could hear her screams across the oceans. My princess isn't afraid, is she? It's just an old story. Papa's here to protect you.
