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.
