Movies recommended or seen lately... les films a voir #52. Brothers

Genre: Drama/Drame

Annee/Year: 2009

Format: DVD

Brothers. Movie directed by Jim Sheridan with a great cast including: Tobey Maguire (lord of the ring), Jake Gyllenhaal (October skys, Day after tomorrow, Brokeback mountain, Prince of Persia) and Natalie Portman (Start wars' Padme). This movie is about a loser brother ex-con and his brother army boy going to Afghanistan. Trouble is that the soldier brother gets in trouble and is thought dead. The up to then bad brother tries to help the best he can the wife and kids of his brother through the hard times. He succeeds and this helps him turn his life around. At that moment the lost brother comes back from Afghanistan by miracle but he is no longer the strong and stable father he used to be. This leads to paranoia and conflicts but can brotherly love save him? Good movie. great acting from Tobey and Jake which have an explosive mix together. When the dad played by Sam Shepard mixes in this makes for quite an interesting family dynamic. Good son versus bad son but in a volatile environment.

Ce film met en scene Tobey Maguire et Jake Gyllenhaal ainsi que Natalie Portman. Trois acteurs recherches ces temps ci. Ceci nous donne un melange explosif qui oppose et unis un soldat revenu de l'afghanistan a sa femme et a son frere. Un jeu d'acteur tres bien ficele mais peut etre un peu plus faible du cote de Portman. Interessante variation sur le theme du bon frere/mauvais frere.
