Left with a feeling of What?!?! Contains Spoilers
16 October 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I am left on the fence with this movie. At first you begin to understand the lives of these brothers through the eyes of a friend. There are 3 stories happening in this movie however it fails to develop the characters further once the 3rd brother is introduced.

The last scene with the entire family. In the background you see the father (in keeping with his character is in the back, weak with no control). You see Christophe with his girlfriend, showcasing affection (makes sense since he has straightened out his life). Marc in the foreground (still showcasing his masculinity and toughness).

I was perplexed by the ending scene. You see Olivier and Hachlm "in love" but at the end Hachlm is dumped so that Olivier can have a rendezvous with the flight instructor. I didn't understand why Olivier's plot-line/story was very short and abruptly ended. I understand Haclim helped Olivier with expressing his sexual freedom however, this could have been done better. I really felt disconnected from Olivier because of the last scene. Did we really need to know he left his first love to be with the flight instructor and end the movie like that?!?!

I can see where the filmmaker was trying to convey however failed to do so in further developing the uniqueness of each brother and their overall connection. So after seeing this movie, I was left with what?
