“Brothers” Movie Review

“Brothers” Plot Summary

A young man comforts his older brother’s wife and children after he goes missing in Afghanistan. add synopsis

Very moving drama on family bonds and war, very well acted and deeply felt

American cinematography seems to be in strong need of movies exorcising the horror of war (I think of ‘In the valley of Elah’), through the depiction of family stories, showing how war may affect deeply and often destroy the lives of soldiers and their families

There’s still much American pride in that flag waving from the first scene, and much sense of honour in laying down one’s life for the sake of the country. However, the damage brought about by war on the emotional and psychological life of this family, puts everything into question, and in the end, controversial thoughts and feelings are aroused, mainly when we perceive that the edge between good and evil is so narrow and difficult to establish. The cast is outstanding, and their contained, never excessive interpretations prevents the movie from verging on the too melodramatic. Natalie Portman handles her difficult character very carefully and convincingly, Toby Macguire, does a great work, mainly considering his background of lighter roles, Jake Gyllenhaal is good, but less convincing, being his development too quick. Also the always impeccable Tom Shepard could have given more if his character would have been given more space. The little girl playing Isabelle is surprisingly noteworthy. It is a very tear-jerking movie, although every emotion is filtered in a delicate way. In the end I get comforted by the idea that family bonds, no matter how fragile and difficult, are the only certain, real thing from which to start in order to try to find a sense, where a sense seems to be lost forever. A really worth seeing-movie.
