Two Brothers (2004)

It was on BBC 2 Early Last year, I miss start of movie, one scene I saw and I already clued to the screen. Never even heard of this movie before.PlotTwo tigers are separated as cubs and taken into captivity, only to be reunited years later as enemies by an explorer (Pearce) who inadvertently forces them to fight each other.I love Animals, this movie really hard to watch, i felt very emotional about this movie and tigers in this movie, great and acting, You will actually real sorry for this man-eaters .This movie can be predicable however is still really moving movie, 8 out of 10 Great for all ages to watch!

I came across this film on a TV channel today. I was definitely amazed by the style of film making and editing that one can see in the movie. It must have been hard to make the tigers portray such beautiful emotions. It is a feel good family movie with a great story line and excellent acting from all the lead actors, including the child and the tigers. The relationship between the two tigers, and their relationship with humans, mainly the hunter and the child have been wonderfully presented by the director. I am an Indian and people in India are fighting to save the last remaining members of the 'Big Cat'. This movie is ideal for all tiger lovers and can be used in the campaign for saving tigers, to educate the masses about the pain and agony tigers go through, because of selfish human actions. It is one of the best movies I've seen.

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!

---------- beginning/ending spoilers included ----------OK, I was expecting a somewhat fun adventure movie. The beginning was exactly that, for a couple of minutes, then it got sad and gloomy. If you really like animals you won't enjoy a lot of this movie, you will like the beginning and the end but all in between is just sad and kind of depressing (my guess more than 80% of the movie).So if you look for a fun adventure movie, keep on looking. If you look for a sad and gloomy adventure movie look no more. Or if you just don't like animals you might find it a fun adventure movie as well.----------- help out ------------Help us viewers and IMDb.com by adding suitable keywords to all movies you rate.
