Tonight, we went to see "Brothers" the new Toby McGuire and cast. Just saying "cast" is not enough. It was like eavesdropping on a family's life. Even the two small girls should get an award. This movie is about two brothers, sons of a VietNam Veteran Marine. When the movie opens, one brother is just getting out of prison and the other, a Marine, is about to ship out for a second tour of Afghanistan. As the movie unfolds they deal with role reversals and the effects on the mind, body and soul. This is a stout movie and not light holiday fare. It had a different effect on me because of the day's events that we will talk about later. This movie is REAL LIFE. Life that sadly is lived out throughout the world. As a matter of fact this is a remake of a European movie. By the way Toby lost twenty pounds during the movie to make it true to life.
As is my nature, I will not tell the story. That's for you to discover. This movie is for people who read or see serious tales. It is "R" for REAL.
I give it **** stars. It is the season for the award winning films to come out. Here is one.
