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 development of the immortal Mirror Flower
Story. Hundreds of years ago, the queen encountered a plague when she was newly married, and after the king died, she built a tower with no entrance to lock herself in. She also killed everyone to usurp their magic, and eventually learned the art of immortality.
But immortality doesn't keep you looking good. The queen plans to capture the girls and trade their blood for her youth. Later, after the Brothers Grimm blew up the magic mirror, she also shattered like a mirror.
The trust between brothers
has a very deep memory in the camera. When Jack and Will came to the tower together, they mistakenly took the dagger held by the queen, causing them to kill each other. When the two were entangled, Will held the trust in his brother, let go of the hand holding the dagger, and let the brother's dagger inserted into his chest. Even a biological brother has the trust in his brother and resolutely gave up his life and let the other party save everything. This is definitely not escape, this is a kind of heroic righteousness!
hatred of invaders
I'm afraid there's a detail that you haven't noticed. When people in the village talk about the kidnapping of the child, it started when the French army invaded. Maybe it's the coincidence of the queen's plan and the aggression, but I believe more that this film expresses a kind of hatred for the aggressor, even nature is going to be outraged! At the end of the film, when the torture enthusiast said: "You are free", it not only covered the peace brought by the death of the queen to the village chief, but also represented the destruction of the generals and invaders!
