SYNOPSIS
From Jean-Jacques Annaud, the acclaimed director of The Bear, comes a motion picture event for the whole family. Set not so long ago in a distant land, Two Brothers is the story of twin tiger cubs - one shy and gentle, the other, bold and fierce - who are born among the temple ruins of an exotic jungle, but are one day separated by fate. The bold brother is sold off to a circus, where homesickness and living in a cage rob him of his spirit. The shy cub becomes the beloved companion for the governor's lonely young son, until an accident forces the family to give him away to a man who resolves to break his gentle nature and turn him into a fighter for sport. When they are fully grown, the brothers find themselves reunited - but as forced enemies pitted against each other. An epic adventure story about the power of friendship, the bond between brothers and the spirit that connects us all, Two Brothers stars Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential) as the adventurer whose tragic intervention into the idyllic lives of the twin cubs forever intertwines their fates. Two Brothers was filmed on location in Cambodia and Thailand. The screenplay was written by Jean-Jacques Annaud and Alain Godard (The Name of the Rose, Enemy at the Gates) from an original story by Annaud.
MY THOUGHTS
Hmm people must be getting lazy around here. My first year or so on these boards i never had to post a current flick and Ive had to post 6 in the last month! Maybe its cause Mikes gone, dunno. Anywho, i dont see how this one got missed! If someone posted it I didnt see it so please tell me. Maybe this is forgetable film but my god if a person like me is excited there has to be others. Ive been waiting for this movie for a while, it seems like a Milo and Otis nostalgia trip for me and in that sense I cant wait. Guy Pearce is in it too so u cant go wrong. This flick has been recieved great reviews. On RottonTomatoes it has 33 Fresh and only 3 Rotten. I gotta see Farenhiet 9/11 and Notebook first but no doubt will be seeing this film. Come on, anybody?? If youre not convinced, read the reviews.
