Analysis of One Work


"The Brothers Grimm" was a film starring the late Heath Ledger and Matt Damon. It is somewhat of a fairy tale and scary movie put together. Two con-artist put to the taste of courage and faith. The film is filled with magical creature, pretty young lady and one change to redeem themselves. First off the plot resembles "Snow White", a women goal to stay young and beautiful while possessing immortality (Wiki). But her only source of power is a mirror. They go on an epic journey to save the village and become heroes. They are encountered with again, magical forest, a wicked witch, spells, black magic etc... Gilliam did an excellent job telling the story, especially with his creative hand. At the end of course the girls are saved, the village celebrate and everyone is happy, with the mirror destroyed. All evil as the people know it are over and thanks to the journey the Grim brother decide to change professions and become story tellers, fairy tales to be exact (Fauth). The films deals with the plot first two mischief brothers, getting into trouble, having to redeem themselves or serve punishment and the only way to get out of it is to solve a case. Just like in fairy tales there is always a happy ending!
