Grimm's Fairy Tales are a collection of folk literature materials collected and organized by the Brothers Grimm in Germany. The first edition is called "Children and Family Fairy Tales". The Chinese translation first appeared in 1925. It contains ten stories including Snow White, which we are familiar with now. The story of 206 stories has been basically finalized by now.

The film Brothers Grimm uses a fantastic montage technique to interpret the source of the Brothers Grimm story and the motives for organizing them. Throughout the film, shadows or characters from classic fairy tales such as "Little Red Riding Hood", "Cinderella" and "Snow White" can be found. A pair of brothers who pretended to be ghosts and tricks all day were arrested and ordered to investigate the continuous disappearance of little girls near the enchanted forest. It turned out that the old witch queen who had survived for 500 years had used black magic to keep her youth forever. , killed the queen and saved the girls.

A large number of scenes in the movie are dark, the most profound is the mummified queen asking the magic mirror if she is the most beautiful person. These scenes also restore a real Grimm fairy tale world, but at that time we were too young to be able to. Understand that fairy tales are not just beautiful and moving. In fact, even in fairy tales, there are many plots that we ignored when we were young. For example, Cinderella's sisters cut off their toes and heels in order to wear glass slippers. Now that I think about it, it's a bloody world.

    God stick theme, the story is a bit naive, the shooting is very messy, but it is very Gilliam style

    I have actually seen this, but I do have the impression of only the dark tone except for Monica Bellucci's figure...
