Two Brothers (2004)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The Worst Film Ever

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

this is another movie that left me torn: i'm fascinated by Orient as it's really different from our western world: so this movie was really exotic for that: the forest, the temple were astounding sights as good as in the 1st Tomb Raider! On the other hand, as it's already the case with animated movies, i never really get in touch with animals as heroes. They may be cute but they bore me so this is really not the kind of movies i want to watch on an evening: i tried it on an winter afternoon and i admit that after 20 minutes of tigers playing, i had already enough... So i switched to Annaud commentary and if the movie doesn't get awesome, his opinions are interesting... Honestly it's only the during the last half-hour that the story gets interesting with the 2 tigers causing mayhem and their chase... Sure this movie is a technical feat and having true living tigers is always better than animation but the story is not up to the challenge, the colonial cast is not really engaging and above all, the score fails to support the natural silence! This Warbeck is just awful and i think it would be just something else with a real inspired composer! At last, it's true that the opening scene is ,well, maybe a bit disturbing...

"Two Brothers" is truly an obscure animal in the wild. For animal lovers out there, this movie is not designed for the younger age group, but could also garner some thoughts towards the adult demographics as well. Aside from the stars of the movie being two adorable tiger cubs, the human cast are also very provocative in terms of performances and neither humans or animals ever once try to upstage one another.Even though he's known for starring in more serious fare like "Memento" and "A Slipping Down Life", British actor Guy Pearce plays the role of prized hunter, thrill-seeker and successful treasurer Aidan McRory from the French Indochina (Cambodia) in the 1920's who's becomes an integral part in the tiger cubs' lives. However, Pearce understands that he's in the supporting role here and that his status as an A-list performer has no place for a film of this magnitude. The first part of this movie centers around the character development of the two cubs Kumal and Sangha. Kumal is the more adventurous one while Sangha is the more stronger minded cub and we watch as they are sadly separated after humans invade on their domain as each of them watch as their father was savagely killed. In sure irony, Kumal was rescued by McRory. However, his good intentions gets him arrested on account of looting on archaeological premises in which Kumal gets adopted to a gypsy circus and while Sangha becomes a pet to kind young boy, only to become trained to be bad-ass killer thanks to the emperor's royal zookeeper. Cut to a year later, they are reunited in a not so friendly way as they become sparring partner's in the emperor's fighting ring, and cleverly and amusingly, they found an escape to which McRory tries to track them down as they caused fear and chaos in the village. McRory explains that even though they have no fear in humankind, they're not inclined to kill. They're primary targets for prey are women and children. Written and directed by Annaud, we visualize a sensitive and nurturing tale in which animal integrity and and human needs clash in ways that's hardly ever been accomplished before in rather unfamiliar territory. Sure the dialogue is quite meagre (duh! tigers don't talk) but this film raises topics like imperialism, nobility and even ecological issues like environment, animal rights, deforestation, declining of species all while avoiding from being preachy about it. And these important scenes are the reasons this movie truly stands above the rest. Another good thing about this movie is that there were no real antagonists in this story. The closest we have to bad guys were the tyrannical circus trainers, the deviant administrator (Jean-Claude Dreyfus) and the sophisticated emperor (Oanh Nguyen) and even they don't have any real evil intentions. But also the tigers have no real evil intentions either. I'm no animal trainer, but the performances by the tigers were easily some of the best I've seen in any film that stars an animal. These felines don't just depend on instinct and dumb-luck irony in their escape from the human world, they also convey expressions, emotions and never feels forced or contrived. Their expressions just comes from their eyes because cats can't show expression from their eyes. If there was one flaw about this movie was that Annaud nixes stock and digital video which ruins the style of the movie. The digital camera-work depicted here not only feels out of place it also looks very cheap. There may have been some sacrificial cutbacks of the film, but that's no excuse why the jungle landscapes and the ancient ruins where the twin cubs resided had to be digitized. But the failed camera-work doesn't hinder the story about a species who's population is dying off. It's an interesting story filled with adventure, intellectual integrity and though it feels like a kids film, the adults can also be intrigued by the story with questions relating to environmental issues. Though it's rated PG, there are intense moments.

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.

Started watching while doing something else & not paying too much attention, however within seconds, I was enthralled in the breathtakingly beautiful scenery, the characters, and yes, definitely the story! The story is there, so if Sarah from Canada doesn't see one, well, that's her loss.I found myself talking to the cubs as they were trying to escape the hunters, roting them on, and yelling, "WOO HOO" when they finally escaped the danger.The plight of these animals is all to real, unfortunately. If even one movie like this can help slow their extinction, then it's worth watching & becoming more involved with groups fighting for wildlife preservation.
