Hollywood vs Jack Zippes

FACT
* The Brothers Grimm were poor after their father died suddenly from pneumonia in 1796.
* The Brothers were scholars who dedicated their lives to researching German laws, cultures, and oral tales.
* The Brothers were extremely passionate about Germany and disliked the French.



FICTION
* The Brothers Grimm had 4 other siblings, unlike the film, who only showed one sister.
* Jacob never received magical beans for payment in reality.
* The Brothers were not supernatural "bounty hunters" conning people into believing they could get rid of ghosts.
* The mysterious woods of Marbaden is not a real place in Germany.
* The Brothers did not collect their stories by taking down an evil queen, in fact, they invited middle aged women into their house and would listen to them while the brothers took notes.
* The film also consisted of many fairy tales as the brothers went about their journey, when in reality, they never took place.
