Two Brothers Audience Reviews

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
psychoEC I was forced to watch this movie while I was traveling by bus between two distant cities in South America. This is a story of two tigers who are separated in their attempt to scape from their hunters. Their suffering is well represented and makes us wonder how they made in order to get those excellent animal performances and realistic cryings.This movie also depicts colonization, irrational exploitation of natural resources, the domain of man over nature, haunting (for pleasure), animals traffic, historic objects traffic, everything presented as natural. But what in my opinion was the worst of all this is the portrayal of animals as threads for men, when is actually the men who invaded their territories. The excuse for the mistreatment of animals shown at the beginning of the movie is the "happy ending". If you love animals just don't watch it.
Tanveer Masood 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.
Jackson Booth-Millard I think the most obvious to reason to see this film is for the tigers, young and old, they are magnificent creatures, and here they are the main focus, from director Jean-Jacques Annaud (The Name of the Rose, Enemy at the Gates). Basically two twin tigers, one shy and gentle, the other bold and fierce, are born in the ruins of a temple in an exotic jungle. However, one day the brothers are separated by fate, the bold tiger, named Kumal is sold to a circus, his homesickness and cage life have taken away his spirit, while his brother, named Sangha, is still with his mother. Kumal is trained to do tricks by cruel ringmaster Zerbino (Vincent Scarito), and soon Sangha is also captured, and they are put in a stage together, meant to be fighting, but thank goodness they recognise each other, all grown up that is, and they escape. Oh, I should mention, the man who has appeared a lot during the tigers' lives is famous hunter Aidan McRory (Memento's Guy Pearce), who by the way, killed their mother, but he respects the tigers freedom, and in the end gives up hunting. Also starring Jean-Claude Dreyfus as Administrator Eugene Normandin, Finding Neverland's Freddie Highmore as Raoul Normandin, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Mrs. Normandin, Stéphanie Lagarde as Miss Paulette, Maï Anh Le as Naï-Rea, Moussa Maaskri as Saladin and Oanh Nguyen as His Excellency, the Prince. For the cute factor, this film is very entertaining, and the story is quite good too, to be honest, you can't really pay attention to much else besides the tigers. Worth watching!
Caz1964 Beatifuly shot film with an important message. Two brothers is a story about two infant tigers who become separated when their mother is killed by a hunter.Kumal is the more aggressive and Sangha is the quiet one.And towards the end of the film the cubs personalities reverse. Kumal gets put in a circus and has his spirit knocked out of him,whereas Sangha grows up in a house with a kind little boy only to find he out grows the house and ends up put into another type of circus.By this point he has become a true fighter and is fearless. When they are almost fully grown they are cruelly pitted against each other in a Gladiator style arena where they are to fight to the death.At first they don't recognise each other and they start to fight,then suddenly they make eye contact smell each other and realise they are brothers. They then escape from the arena and make their way back to the jungle and eventually the ending is a happy one. I think this film is suitable for all ages and has some very beautiful moments such as when Sangha as a young cub sits on the little boys toy shelf and makes himself look like one of the toys.The film has many moments like this. Man is clearly the enemy in this film as tigers have been hunted to near extinction,at the end of the film there's some credits that tell us that in the 1900's there were 100,000 tigers in the world,now days there are less than 5000 and they are getting fewer,some species of tiger are already extinct. I hope that the message of this film will get people to help save this magnificent endangered animal.
