เรื่องย่อ

In "The Brothers Grimm," William and Jacob Grimm, two self-proclaimed folklore collectors, present themselves as brave warriors against dark forces, using their cunning and charm to fleece naive villagers out of their hard-earned coins. Their modus operandi is to identify an unsuspecting community's most pressing problem – be it a pesky giant, a mischievous sprite, or a suspected witch – and then swoop in with promises of salvation. As they spin yarns and perform mock exorcisms, the brothers Grimm expertly manipulate the villagers' fears and superstitions. Their antics often involve elaborate costumes, convincing special effects, and an air of mystery that leaves their marks convinced of their extraordinary abilities. However, this facade is threatened when a real, malevolent force begins to wreak havoc on the countryside. As the brothers confront the dark powers they've been pretending to vanquish, they find themselves in over their heads. Their usual tactics no longer apply, and they must rely on their wits, resourcefulness, and growing sense of morality to survive. Amidst this chaos, Jacob begins to question the true nature of their work and the consequences of their deception. Throughout "The Brothers Grimm," director Terry Gilliam weaves a rich tapestry of mythological creatures, folklore, and historical context. The film pays homage to the brothers' real-life collection of Germanic folktales while also poking fun at their reputation as con artists. With its unique blend of humor, adventure, and social commentary, this fantastical tale is a must-see for fans of fantasy and comedy alike.
