Capone is suitably shaken by Maguire, Gyllenhaal and Portman in BROTHERS!!!
Hey, everyone. Capone in Chicago here.
It's not likely that many of you saw the 2004 film from Denmark BRØDRE, but for those of you that did, it was probably an unforgettable experience. The movie (translated as BROTHERS) starred two of Denmark's top actors, Ulrich Thomsen and Nikolaj Lie Kaas, both of whom have appeared in English-language films over the years, as well as Connie Nielsen, perhaps best known as the prince's lady love in GLADIATOR. It was a timely film about the toll that war takes on those left behind and on those who make it back. Today (or more specifically a year ago, since this American remake has been on the shelf for about a year), Irish director Jim Sheridan (MY LEFT FOOT, IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, IN AMERICA) has taken the template of the original film and changed very little to make his movie an equally powerful work fueled by three tremendous lead performances from Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman.
Maguire's Sam Cahill is a career military man, who is about to head back to the Middle East for his fourth tour of duty, leaving behind a wife, Grace (Portman), and two young daughters (gifted child actors Bailee Madison and Taylor Grace Geare). Just before he is sent into Afghanistan, his younger brother, Tommy (Gyllenhaal), is released from prison. Tommy seems genuinely rehabilitated, but that doesn't stop him from being an abrasive ass who drinks too much and picks fights with the brothers' parents (Sam Shepard and Mare Winningham). Shortly after his deployment, Sam's helicopter is shot down and word makes its way back to Grace that her husband is dead. Without needing to be asked, Tommy steps up and begins looking out for Grace and the kids, helping out around the house, babysitting while Grace lies in bed with severe depression, and just generally being more useful than he's been in years.
As you might suspect, Sam is not dead. He and another solider are being held captive and tortured by the Taliban, and Sam is forced to make a decision that would destroy most men, and it may eventually eat through the young captain's soul. Back home, Grace and Tommy predictably get closer and even share a regrettable kiss, but cooler heads prevail, and the moment simply serves to strengthen their commitment to making it through their loss. If the film has one giant flaw, it's that the entire film feels like it's building up to the time when Sam returns home, which is exactly what happens. He immediately starts dressing like a serial killer and loses his temper with an anticipated regularity, even accusing his wife of sleeping with his brother. These emotionally explosive scenes wouldn't work at all were it not for the caliber of actors on hand.
Maguire is nothing short of a wiry hand grenade after he returns home. In different hands, the film's more charged moments could have gone really wrong, but especially in the argument scenes between Maguire and Portman, there's something really special going on. There's a great deal of crying on at her end, but she adds small touches to grace that are expected and show a great sense of what works in a performance. Gyllenhaal is impressive for entirely different reasons. He glides along the divide between complete asshole and caring individual, and somehow manages to pull both versions of Tommy off seamlessly. He's actually the greatest source of tension release for most of Brothers, and he's as convincing as Maguire, but in very different ways.
There's not a whole lot more to say about Sheridan's version of BROTHERS. I like some of the small alterations by screenwriter David Benioff, but there are a few I didn't like. Overall, it's a solid balancing act. Not one of the performances falters or registers as too amped up or too subdued, although I suspect most debate about this film will surround this aspect to BROTHERS. I'm not sure how many people are going to flock to a movie this heavy, but that's not my job. I remained thoroughly impressed all the way through this film for our times. This is a complex film dealing with countless emotional levels, and I think you'll really enjoy this offering.

Except for Connie Nielsen. She's still on my all-time list! But yeah, who wants to see this movie? No one!!!
-
I'd always noticed how much those two look and act alike..but ironically in this film where they actually play brothers you can barely see any resemblance.
-
Frankly, I don't know why they bothered to make it. If Hollywood really wanted to make money off a military film, they would make one that was unapologetically pro-military. I'm not saying "Brothers" is anti-military...I'm saying the people that drive the box office are going to see "Soldier comes home from Iraq with PTSD" and stay away in droves, believing this movie to be another critique of recent American military policy. Given Hollywood's recent track record "supporting" the troops, you really can't fault them for the conclusion.
-
espically the scene they've been showing ad nausum on BRAVO, where they are at the dinner table and the little girl is rubbing the balloon making it squeak. BUT I generally trust Capone's reviews, so I may have to take a look at this one after all

once again why she is one of the best actresses of her generation.

I didn't care. Plus I don't buy Tobes as a mean guy. It laughable seeing him put on a angry face in the trailer.

Tobery Maguire will never come off as threatening or scary. Even though I'm sure he could get my ass he still just comes off as a complete dork. And he doesn't tip well at resturants which pretty much makes him a worthless human being.
-
You're totally right. I judge people by the tips they give, too.
-
you are a multi-millionare and you stiff people who serve you, then you are scum.
-
Looks like if he was going to attack you, he'd run up to you with a mean face and you'd be a little scared at first, possibly flinch, then you look and he's going to town on you but he's so weak you don't even feel him hitting you. So you just sit down and keep drinking your coffee and just ask him to please leave he's embarrassing himself.

That's all this is.

carefully that girl seems very manipulative. the scene at the dinner table is very creepy where the daughter is holding a balloon and she is trying to make here dad pop by pushing him.
-
Never knew till I read this.
-
Funny, I know lots of ex-military people. They are the most stable, reliable, and generally decent people I know. But in Hollywood every ex-military person is a ticking time-bomb. This move will TANK. 4 million, then nothing.
-
Tobey looks mighty scary. He might be wiry but he got a gun.
-
Don't have kids? Don't KNOW any kids? Don't know anything about kids?
Just a wild guess. lol. -
But sometimes you get a supreme dick of a waiter/waitress and the last thing you want to do is reward their dickiness. Tips are gratuities after all, and if you don't make me grateful for your service, you ain't getting paid biotch.
-
Denmark pussied out early but Americans are still fighting abroad. They could've waited until 2015 or so for this. Just saying.
-
It's not that it doesn't look good, cause it does. It's just that no one in this country wants to see that movie right now. A soldier coming home and going crazy on his family? No thank you. I'll see it cause I see everything, but really, the general public will never spend money to be depressed like that. It just won't happen. When I saw the trailer I almost couldn't believe they were trying to sell this movie to people. It's impossible. It's too depressing, especially in these times. After Fort Hood, etc...no one will go see tihs. It's unfortunate, but completely true.

Like she does in every single other movie she's in? She also does this while shifting her weight from one foot to the other. Think of her scene before Anakin force chokes her in ROTS.

wah???? Tobey looks mighty scary? He looks like the leader of some gay goth group of kids. The only one willing to act crazy and just get his ass kicked over and over again. Thinking that if he's just pissed off he can fight.

Letterman sucking Portman's dick about this last week?

The ads really do imply that the wife and the brother sleep together, or is at least ambiguous about that aspect of their relationship. Revealing that they in fact do not sleep together in this review really changes my perception of the flick. Now I'm not nearly as interested in seeing it. The human drama of "did they or didn't they", and how Maguire's character would deal with it, was much of the appeal for me. Now it just sounds like your basic, run-of-the-mill anti-war flick. Meh.
-
When Hollywood figures that out, I'll go watch a war movie again.
-
But god damn if there aren't a few crazy fuckers in there.
Hollywood doesn't give a shit, since they're only interested in telling stories that will make money.
In my opinion, too little concern is given to the vets who served and lived.
I think it's unrealistic (given Americas propensity for capitalism, greed and self-service) that there will never be a homeless problem. But at the very least, no vet should ever be homeless and destitute. -

The question really should be, is the prevalence of mental illness within the military higher or lower than in the general public? You're not going to get an answer to that question by watching anti-war movies.
It's similar to the mass gnashing-of-teeth over child-molesting priests. Studies of available data suggest that the percentage of pedophiles within the priesthood is way way way lower than within the general public. That's not the message you'll get from any movie.
If filmmakers really wanted to make movies that explore these sorts of issues, they wouldn't focus on the individuals (like in this movie). Instead they would focus, in a clear-eyed and unbiased way, on the systems and policies in place within the military to support soldiers and treat mental illness.
I won't hold my breath. -
In a recent battle in Afghanistan, wounded American soldiers refused to be medevac'ed from the battlefield because they felt like they could still fight well enough to support their brothers in arms. Will Hollywood make a movie about that true story? Hell no. Will they copy a Dutch movie about a crazed war criminal but turn him into an American? Hell yes! Fuck Hollywood.
-
"American soldiers are heroes, not crazies."
I agree, and that's why this movie will flop. Hollywood seems fixated on the tenth of one percent of soldiers that are whacked, instead of the 99.9% that are respectable, or even inspiring.
It's hard to even condemn Hollywood as a greedy money-grubbers... because these movies criticizing the war and soldiers are NOT going to succeed, and they know that. At least in this respect, they're WORSE than selfish. They're HURTING themselves trying to promote a particular screwed up view.
And I've not seen any evidence that Portman is a good actress. The Professional is likely just a fluke. -
Up here in the Great White North, one of our soldiers who had both his legs blown off in Afghanistan is training hard and trying to convince the brass that he's fit and capable enough to go back for another tour, thanks in part to his high-tech prosthetic legs, but mostly thanks to his fuckin' steel balls.
Now how's THAT for a movie idea! -
This is the weekend of American remakes with A-list actors of little seen foriegn films.

Did a nice and naked turn in The Devils Advocate also...

Then again, I saw it with KONTROLL, which blew my mind. And directed by somebody who also has another film released today. Go figure.

That's right...its a REMAKE..what..no bitching about that??? get on your shit AICN.
-
Why am I not surprised to see Capone slobbering over this yawn-fest? Seriously, if Vegas would have let me bet, I would have won a bundle. Every review I've seen has said the exact same thing (which backs what I've seen from the trailers). No, it's not your job to worry about if anyone is going to see this pile of shit (but in case you're wondering, nobody will), but perhaps the fact that you keep fawning over these pathetic movies might tell you something about your inability to separate your personal interests from professional critique.
-
...than Capone getting a hard-on over a Hollywood cliched anti-soldier movie is Harry getting a hard-on over a silly-assed sci-fi movie where the director or stars paid attention to him during the run-up to the release. AICN is more predictable than watching what happens when geeks at Comic-con see a hot chick in a Princess Leia bikini.
-
how do you explain the Christian bros and their perverted activity. the sadism of the sisters of mercy or charity.
-
not happen. i think it was... It was called A song for raggy boy. truly great film.
-
you fucking tool bags. and quit acting tough and sweet on these message boards. just cuz you thinking "manning" up for a fourth tour without legs is badass. you and your troop-and gun fetish can go fucking to hell. sack up. get off the forums they're letting in 30-35 yr olds now because we dont have enough troops. you have no excuses. go join. i did and it was a fucking waste of my life. name some of the protestors who were arrested outside of obama's speech....look it up...
-
make the movie about the troops who stick around with their other troops till the end of the firefight. wah wah. and royston lodge...obviously you havent researched anything. especially trauma theory do you have access to any psychiatric databases? or JSTOR or even ProjctMUSE?
-
the flag waving to interject that Ft. Carson has been wracked by some of the most violent, disgraceful, amoral crimes in recent memory, committed by wacked out soldiers crippled by PTSD. We are talking about taking pot shots with a rifle at random guys pumping gas at gas stations because you dont like they way they looked at you type stuff. Rape, execution style murders, assault, you name it. This isnt a bash-the-troops post. But acting like every soldier comes back from Iraq with a personal entourage of flag waving attendants playing "Yankee Doodle" at all times is ludicrous. There are real-life problems with some of these guys that arent being dealt with.
-
I wasn't aware this was a remake until reading this article. Definitely will watch the original on Netflix first. Nice review Capone!
-
from the start of his review...
-
Anti-American liberals like you are not even worth debating with. Go watch Brothers and I hope you enjoy it. But every night you go to sleep safe in your beddie bye it's because someone you despise is protecting you.
-
They're people...doing a job. Are some of them capable of heroic acts? Hell yeah....but that doesnt automatically make every guy who ever served into the living embodiment of Captain America. Anybody who gets butt-hurt about this movie showing vets in a less-than-positive light needs to get their head out of their ass and actually take a look at whats going on in the world.
-
The young men and women protecting you and your property and you're I'm-so-cool lifestyle are HEROES, you ungrateful fuck.
-
So is Robin Williams. His comedy style doesn't usually bake my cake, but I love him in One Hour Photo. More sad than creepy is his character to me.
-
They showed the scene where he goes crazy in the kitchen. Afterwards you can tell he was kinda reliving that performance, conan pointed out he looked like he was getting back into the character's mindset, and Tobey admitted seeing that scene brought back those emotions a little bit.
-

From what I've seen the vast majority of soldiers do not sign up to fight the enemy or protect their country. Soldiers are mostly dumb fucks who need to support themselves. And they have chosen to support themselves by becoming trained killers. Yeah, real heroic.
-
that most Liberals are uneducated morons. The NY Times did a huge story about this and soldiers back from the war commit crimes at a lower percentage than the average citizen. But don't let the facts get in the way of your hysteria, goose. Just keep on making an idiot of yourself.

I really liked it but when it was over I was firmly nestled into me seat prepared for at least another half an hour. But I thought everyone did a great job, especially the daughter, played by Bailee Madison. Now that's some kid acting. Other than that I totally agree with your review, Capone. I hope people go and see it.

If the originals's "forgettable" & this is "equally powerful"..
by the dark shite
How can it be great?
Is it so amazing that it hypnotises you to forget it? -
Now, before people react, I've mentioned before that my brother & best friend have been serving in Afghanisan, so I'm not putting soldiers down.
BUT, the notion of automatically being a hero because you're a soldier is bullshit. My brother & friend are good soldiers. They're smart, dignified, respect what they do & do it ethically & with a sense of honour. They're proud to fight for their country. Some might say they've been brainwashed/indoctrinated. Maybe. But they believe in it passionately & would give their lives if need be. I respect that.
I know another guy however, who's a total piece of shit. He was a thief & a thug as a kid (think the wankers in Harry Brown & you'll get the idea), been in the army his whole life. Done pretty much fuck all. If someone wanted to fight him in he street, he'd run away. In fact, whne he goes home, people do wanna fight him, 'cause he was a little cunt who thought he was a big man when he had a gang of mates with him, but is actually a cowardly fuck. That wanker represents my country. If he was American, he'd be one of the dumb cunts abusing people in Abu Gahraib. He's a soldier because he's a dumb fucker who can't do anything else & he'll be a lifer too, so he can get a fat pension.
Heroism isn't something you get from being in the military. It's something we all have in us & something whuich has to be earned. I'll always respect the good ones, but the notion that being in the military makes you a hero is bullshit. -
No taller!

I love when some red state/conservative/Glenn Beck type challenges me on the military, just assuming I dont know what I'm talking about, simply because (like most conservatives I've met), they are unable to process anything resembling moral ambiguity in their little pea brains. They dont realize my grandfather made his way out of South Boston in the Navy to become one of the highest ranking civilians in the CIA......or that I live 5 minutes from the Naval Academy and 15 from Fort Meade and have been around military guys all my life........or that my best friend from high school joined the Army.......or my buddy now was a Gulf War Marine.......or BOTH my cousins enlisted to fight in the Iraq War, one leaving a cushy Senator's aide job to go drive tanks. But I dont know what I'm talking about, right? Bottom line is, good guys are good guys regardless of the military, they would be a good guy if they were a truck driver. Douchebags are douchebags regardless of if they wear a uniform or not. The military doesnt turn you into anything that you arent already. For every guy like my cousin who didnt take a red cent to join the Army, there are 50 others who wouldnt even be there unless they got caught up in the Iraq War trying to pay their college bills and would leave in a heartbeat if they could, or were poor and took the 10k bonus they were offering because they needed the money, or come from rural areas and just needed a way out, or are so mentally damaged that they simply cant exist in normal civilian day to day life, and so re-enlist for tours endlessly so they can get back to combat. Life is grey area, boys. Oh, and one other thing: next time I'm on Ft. Meade (or its surrounding areas) and see 5 guys beating the shit out of some dude (which happens 20 times a day over there, Ft. Meade might as well be Compton), I'll be sure to jump out and try to stop them, yelling "But but.....you guys are HEROES!!!!"

In the six years since combat operations began in Iraq, Fort Carson — the country's third-largest Army base, with 22,000 active soldiers on duty — has become its own kind of killing field. Before Kevin Shields was gunned down, at least three other Iraq War veterans from the base had been arrested for murder, and a fourth had committed suicide after killing his wife. Since then, at least five more GIs at Fort Carson have been arrested in connection with murders, attempted murders or manslaughter. All told, the military acknowledged this summer, 14 soldiers from the base have been charged or convicted in at least 11 slayings since 2005 — the largest killing spree involving soldiers at a single U.S. military installation in modern history.
Spurred by public outrage, the Army conducted a six-month study into the Fort Carson killings, examining the medical and combat histories of the 14 accused soldiers. Like Bressler, nine of the vets served in the 4th Brigade Combat Team, which suffered a casualty rate in Iraq eight times higher than other Fort Carson units. The Army's 126-page report, released in July, marked the first time the military has ever acknowledged the significance of combat in the behavior of returning veterans. There is, according to the report, a "possible association between increasing levels of combat exposure and risk for negative behavioral outcomes." But in classic bureaucratic language, the study fell short of calling for any real specific action beyond a need for more studies.

She went all-out in Devil's Advocate. Never saw Gladiator though.

they are alot more closer to heroes
then Captain America.(even the fuck-up's) Do you really think it's "just a job"? Go back to your comic book's.They are bigger heroes then every single one of us here just by signing up to be over there! So sad.
-
Thank you
-
It ain't always pretty, and we ain't always the heroes. The fact that we have soldiers coming back from combat (read: overextended and stretched beyond acceptable limits) we're gonna have collateral damage. Does this mean that ALL our troops are basket cases? Of course not. But PTSD needs to be spotlighted in order to show Joe and Jane Walmart that shit is broke and needs to be fixed. Or that we need to implement robot warfare with the quickness.
Solution? Pull the fuck out of the Middle East and go back to using intelligence and covert investigation to countermand extremism. -

Does Maguire and Gyllenhaal fight over the Spiderman costume?
by redmond
Like they almost did in real life?
-
i think i'm on to something here.
-
So, you think PTSD needs to be "spotlighted," and that Brothers is the way to do it. Mm-hmm. I'm sure that's what the people who greenlit it thought, too. Just like Mahmudiyah needed to be spotlighted, and Redacted was the way to do it. And the way large strategic decisions affect a few lives for the worse...that needed to be spotlighted, and Lions for Lambs was the way to do it. Or soldiers being re-upped without their consent needed to be spotlighted, and Stop-Loss was the way to do it. Fine. I personally think there are better ways to discuss those problems, but if Hollywood wants to spend the money, I guess they get to choose what to spend it on. So here's my question: Where is the film that spotlights the bravery and honor of those men and women who make up the vast majority of the United States military? When is Hollywood going to make THAT film? Answer: I doubt they ever will again. They used to, but that was a long time ago, and the era has passed. I, and those like me, find that shameful. I'm not one of those who believe the uniform alone makes you a hero...but I think you can find a hell of a lot of heroes in uniform. And I refuse to acknowledge any sort of "spotlight" argument as legitimate until I see a spotlight being trained on these people as well, to help Milton and Miriam Agedwine-Cheeseplatter realize that our soldiers aren't just overseas to break shit and blow things up, and that they're not all Abu Ghraib-ing it up on the locals every chance they get. (Yes, I know those people. I work with them. And many of them really do think that way -- their caveats of "Yes, of COURSE we know not all soldiers are/do [fill in this blank with a negative word]" are purely formulaic, and indicate quite the opposite.)
-
I didn't say that Brothers is the thing to spotlight PTSD, I said that PTSD needs to stay in the public consciousness. It's a serious issue made even more crucial in the wake of our misadventure in Iraq, and now Afghanistan. It isn't Hollywood's job to slam the troops any more than it's their job to high five their every exploit, real or imaginary. Also, there are FAR more instances of hoo-rah worship of the military than there are showing the honest, painful realities that are the fallout of military service under extreme duress. THAT'S the point I was making. Ask the parent or spouse or child of a soldier who's returned from combat a changed person, especially when abuse rears its ugly head. Good on Brothers for "going there" and I only hope that it keeps PTSD at least in the peripheral of the public consciousness.
Hope that cleared it up for ya. -

TOPHER GRACE SHOULDVE BEEN SPIDERMAN
by supercowbell5thecowbellhasspoken
he has the sarcasm and the acting ability. i like maguire in the role (but not in 3) but grace was perfect.
-
Between Star wars and V, wow, she just stinks it up. She was better on Top Chef.
-
They made that movie that you are describing. It was called "The Hurt Locker", and Jeremy Renner, the star, was in that role the closest thing we have seen to John Wayne in decades. He was completely bad ass in every way, and pretty much the textbook definition of the strong American soldier to which you refer. This movie is going to be a strong "Best Picture" contender this year, and was completely embraced by the "Anti-American" Hollywood establishment you disdain. Sooo......maybe you just need to look a little harder?
-
WTF, seriously. We believe you when you say you saw the film.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE US A FUCKING PLAY BY PLAY YOU ASSHOLE!!!!!!! -
because I was just in a talkback that convinced me white people don't have any problems.
-
I'm with you, putting on a uniform does not automatically make you a hero. Every man must live up to what the American military stands for, they aren't cloaked in it. I think that is a main element of Brothers, that beneath the uniforms are real humans.
-
I say this as someone who has, ahem, dined on both.
-
as well as being a dispicable butcher. and he was gay.
-
is that she hooked up with that fucken knob, Sean Penn. What's doing with that? Everything else about her I adore. Even, gulp, star wars...
-
Since Hater was talking about veggie poop...I have to ask the question.
-
If Brothers was done as a webisode feature, would it rival the primitive immediacy of that YouTube thing "Long Island Goo Spew"? A true showdown.
-
how are they protecting America exactly? were we in danger of being attacked by iraq or iran or afganistan? nope. and how is doing a job you are paid for being a hero?
-
Since you have time to go online and bitch about the war, i'm guessing you aren't there. What makes them heroes is that they're willing to put their lives on the line because no one else will. That would mean that firemen who rush into burning buildings to save people just do so to get paid? And the Taliban stationed in each of those countries had nuclear weapons. I'm guessing they weren't for show.
-
Those of you who are apparently anti-Hollywood yet are taking the time to post on a movie review site (???) should actually go see the flick. It doesn't denigrate the men and women in our military, and it's more about someone dealing with coming back to normalcy after living thru a fucked up situation. McGuire, Portman, and Jake (cause I'm not trying to spell his damn name) pull it off. Doesn't feel heavy handed, manages to feel genuine...at the very least worth seeing once it hits disc or on-demand.
