Will Grimm Appreciation Post (Brothers Grimm, 2005)

(or really, just a shameless, very late birthday post; really, it would have been on time had dreamwidth not given me endless posting issues, but I am stubborn and finally succeeded).

Third time's the charm for this film. I was terrified of it when it first came out, kinda liked it but kinda hated it too when I went back to it years later, and now many years later remembered it, re-watched it and fell head over heels. It's got pretty much everything I could ever want in a film and it's a total guilty pleasure.

Will (and Jake) are plagued by bad luck throughout the film, so here's some happy Will where he's in his element as the perfect, charming showman.

My Card
Title: Love Triangles & Their Complexities in The Brothers Grimm
Notes: I'm centering on two love triangles in this film as there are two women who are potential love interests for the brothers, one who selfishly vies for their affections so they can become little more than her love slaves, and the other who is independent enough to seem mostly disinterested in the trivialities of romance. These love triangles are important to the film because they represent both the temptations and animosities the brothers must overcome. They also serve as an obstacle to Will and Jake's familial relationship: the petty jealousies they must shed in order to strengthen their bond as brothers.
