| The Brothers Grimm | comment |
The Brothers Grimm (2005) is a fantasy-comedy film by Terry Gilliam, starring Matt Damon and Heath Ledger as Wilhelm and Jakob Grimm, a pair of con artists who claim to be able to exorcise hostile spirits. In addition, they write fanciful tales of their exploits, which viewers may recognize as early drafts of familiar Grimm fairy tales.A wrench is thrown in their familiar plans when, passing through a small town in French-occupied Germany, they are charged with solving a mystery there. While the townsfolk believe supernatural forces are at work, their employer believes the disappearances to be the work of con artists like the Grimms themselves. What the brothers find is far darker than any con they have ever pulled off, and unraveling the curse will require true bravery rather than their usual theatrics.Also stars Monica Bellucci, Lena Headey and Jonathan Pryce. Has practically nothing to do with the real Brothers Grimm or the Cinerama film The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm, which stars Laurence Harvey and Russ Tamblyn. | |

Rage Against the Reflection | |
| The Brothers Grimm / int_1397e10d | comment |
Rage Against the Reflection: Played with. The Vain Sorceress cast a spell of eternal life on herself, not realizing that it would not keep her young and beautiful forever. Fortunately for her, she has a magic mirror that shows her young and beautiful self, and can use her magic to make a man look only at the reflection. She almost seduces Jakob this way, but Will tosses a rock up from below (trying to signal to his brother) and cracks the mirror, breaking the spell. The Queen is defeated in the climax by shattering the mirror completely, which shatters her as well. | |

Horror Struck: William and Jacob made their fame setting up fake apparitions and ghosts and getting paid for "exorcizing" them. Personality-wise, William is the more rational of the duo, while Jacob is the bookish Mr. Imagination. When they go to the village, William discovers just how real magic can be. | |

Agent Scully | |
| The Brothers Grimm / int_8658cd14 | comment |
Agent Scully: Will takes a long time to be convinced that the supernatural is real. General Delatombe is actually a parody of this trope. He clearly thinks of himself as a rational, down-to-earth man and tries to act like one, but over time, it becomes glaringly obvious that in reality, he is flat-out insane. Ironically, the very fact that he refuses to acknowledge the existence of supernatural even in face of obvious evidence (like magical wind putting out the forest fire and scattering his troops or tree root trying to ensnare his leg) and is totally fixated on killing the Grimm brothers in spite of all weird stuff happening around him is what indicates that he is not right in his head. | |

| The Brothers Grimm / int_a2022cc9 | comment |
Killed Mid-Sentence: When the Woodsman throws the Queen's Magic Mirror out of the window, she screams "Who's the fairest of them — !" If you listen carefully, the result will be "Who's the fairest of them all!?!?!?!?" instead. | |

Good Parents: What Angelika's father was when he was still alive. When the brainwashing wears off, his first concern is their safety, followed by retribution for their endangerment. | |

Dance Party Ending: An early-19th century peasant version. After the defeat of the evil queen, the whole village throws an impromptu festival in celebration, complete with traditional dancing, and the protagonists all join in. | |

| The Brothers Grimm / int_a5de0ab9 | comment |
Polyamory: Angelika, ever the pragmatist, decides there are more important things to do than to choose a brother for her Love Interest. The story never advocates one over the other, and at the end of the film she goes off with both of them. | |

And I Must Scream | |
| The Brothers Grimm / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: On one side of the coin, there's the results of the face stealing, namely children with blanks for faces. On the other, it appears that the Sorceress will be trapped in the shards of her broken mirror until she gets herself out (unlikely) or someone gets her out (really unlikely). Oh, and she's immortal, so even dying of old age isn't an option. | |

Age Without Youth | |
| The Brothers Grimm / int_a9317105 | comment |
Age Without Youth: A central plot point. The queen gained immortality to protect herself from plague, but she forgot that eternal life does not necessarily entail eternal youth. Thus, she ended up indefinitely prolonged, but still aging. So now, she tries to kidnap twelve young girls and use them as a sacrifice in a ritual to revitalize herself, a project the aforementioned Grimms are eager to stop. When Jakob finds out and warns Will that the Queen is still alive and in the tower: | |

Take That! | |
| The Brothers Grimm / int_b53077b3 | comment |
General Delatombe is actually a parody of this trope. He clearly thinks of himself as a rational, down-to-earth man and tries to act like one, but over time, it becomes glaringly obvious that in reality, he is flat-out insane. Ironically, the very fact that he refuses to acknowledge the existence of supernatural even in face of obvious evidence (like magical wind putting out the forest fire and scattering his troops or tree root trying to ensnare his leg) and is totally fixated on killing the Grimm brothers in spite of all weird stuff happening around him is what indicates that he is not right in his head. | |

Hyper-Competent Sidekick | |
| The Brothers Grimm / int_b89ab683 | comment |
Hyper-Competent Sidekick: For all of their stupidity, Hidlick and Bunst do a lot more of the work for the Monster Protection Racket than the Grimm's (something they lampshade) putting on length, complicated performances as mounters involving complex costumes before the brothers ever arrive in town, and helping a lot with the pulleys and other gadgets they use. The brothers, in contrast, just show up for a few hours, looking pretty and pretending to shoot something. the fact that they only get paid 1/10th of the profits leaves Bunst and Hidlick fairly peeved. | |

Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys: Inverted, as the film takes place during the Napoleonic Wars, in the recently-conquered Kingdom of Westphalia. On the DVD commentary, Terry Gilliam said he felt it was important to remind people that, once upon a time, it was the French who occupied Germany, and not the other way around. | |
