Simply Perfect

Memorable, crazy movie

Admirable film.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

For some reason then I had actively been avoiding "Two Brothers" (aka "Deux Frères"). Why? Well, I had been under the assumption that it was a children's movie, given the DVD cover.But I sat down to watch the movie one evening, and it turned out that this was actually a rather nice surprise of a movie. Because it was a beautifully shot movie in many ways - from the cinematography, to the setting of the movie, to the two majestic tigers that starred in it.Storywise, then briefly summarized it is about two tiger cubs taken from their mother. They are parted and brought up very differently, one having a life of hardships and cruelty at the hands of circus people, while the other is pampered at the hands of a rich family, serving as an exotic pet."Two Brothers" is a movie that is fully wholesome, and watchable for the entire family, kids and adults alike. It is the type of movie that has a bit of something for just about everybody. There is action, there is sadness, there is joy, there is excitement, there are majestic animals, there are friendships between different species.I was especially impressed with how they had trained the tigers, because they were performing quite well.This was a nice surprise of a movie that actually proved worth sitting down to watch. It is quite suitable for an evenings worth of family entertainment.As for my vote, well, I am rating "Two Brothers" a seven out of ten stars.

This movie was being advertised on children's networks, such as Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network so me, my mother, and my sister decided to go see it, thinking it was going to be a cute movie about two tigers.It wasn't, suffice to say. My family was so horrified that we almost walked out and asked for our money back. I remember almost sobbing in the theater.I'm sure now that I'm older it's a fantastic movie, but when I was little it pretty much traumatized me. I will never watch it again. This is not a movie for people under 18.

I saw it in a time which i realize how animals are extremely lawful & humans are cruel and it assures that .. i cried in the movie more than one time because i wanted to live with such pure souls & kill those who wanna kill them !! I don't cry for any movie but this moved all my sensations .. i see that if children saw it would be a beneficial one and the haunting scenes teach them that haunting idea is totally wrong ,, to haunt for FUN is very awful .. i loved the scene of them playing with each other infront of ppl instead of killing each other ,, and also when saungha was a baby sleeping beside Raoul and the milk container in his hands like a true baby , so cute ,, I would recommend to anyone especially who don't care about animals and their matters .. thanks for such a film .. TOUCHING

I think the most obvious to reason to see this film is for the tigers, young and old, they are magnificent creatures, and here they are the main focus, from director Jean-Jacques Annaud (The Name of the Rose, Enemy at the Gates). Basically two twin tigers, one shy and gentle, the other bold and fierce, are born in the ruins of a temple in an exotic jungle. However, one day the brothers are separated by fate, the bold tiger, named Kumal is sold to a circus, his homesickness and cage life have taken away his spirit, while his brother, named Sangha, is still with his mother. Kumal is trained to do tricks by cruel ringmaster Zerbino (Vincent Scarito), and soon Sangha is also captured, and they are put in a stage together, meant to be fighting, but thank goodness they recognise each other, all grown up that is, and they escape. Oh, I should mention, the man who has appeared a lot during the tigers' lives is famous hunter Aidan McRory (Memento's Guy Pearce), who by the way, killed their mother, but he respects the tigers freedom, and in the end gives up hunting. Also starring Jean-Claude Dreyfus as Administrator Eugene Normandin, Finding Neverland's Freddie Highmore as Raoul Normandin, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Mrs. Normandin, Stéphanie Lagarde as Miss Paulette, Maï Anh Le as Naï-Rea, Moussa Maaskri as Saladin and Oanh Nguyen as His Excellency, the Prince. For the cute factor, this film is very entertaining, and the story is quite good too, to be honest, you can't really pay attention to much else besides the tigers. Worth watching!
