My Movie Review: Brothers
By Wade Durham
Deep, and often tear-jerking. Jim Sheridans Brothers is good drama porn. Basically what we have here is Tobey Maguires characters Sam is married to Natalie Portmans characters, and Tobeys brother is Jake Gyllenhaal. Sam supposebly dies over in Iraq when a mild affair happens with Jake and Natalie, then Sam comes home fine. The movie is completely anti-war in showing its impact on peoples minds. The real thing to look for here is the amazing talent of Tobey Maguire, the guy can really act he's most renown for SpiderMan but he fit into this role well and carried the movie himself. Without Tobey the movie probably would'be bombed, not saying the other actors did bad, but Tobey stood out the most. The story was pretty good it seemed Sheridan wasn't sure what final emotion he wanted his audience to get out of it. What I got from it was war changes people and it sucks. There are a couple moments in Brothers where i'm on the edge of my seat. Its not an oscar winning film. (Besides Tobeys performance). Its more of a self realization film because this shit is really going on
3.5/5 GREAT REVIEW
