Because I like Natalie Portman and Carey Mulligan, I searched for their movies and prepared to worship them one by one. , One of them is a collection of the two, I became curious about it and wanted to see it quickly, it is "Brothers".
I have to admit that Natalie Portman has a unique and excellent understanding of the characters. Every movie, whether happy or sad, sad or angry, is fully expressed, which reminds me of another person I am very fond of. My favorite actor Marion Cotillard, their performances have the same characteristics, they are naturally not pretentious, just like what happens around them, they cry when they are unhappy, and laugh when they are full of interest. What they perform is not drama, but life.
The film tells the story of Lieutenant Sam and his family experiencing catastrophe. Sam is a lieutenant of the US Marine Corps. He is the support of his childhood sweetheart wife Grace, the playmate of two lovely daughters, and the only refuge after the failure of his failed brother. In the eyes of the old father and young daughter, Sam is a hero who defends the country and a good man, while his younger brother Tom is a typical hooligan and a bad guy. The peaceful family life was shattered by the arrival of the war. Due to the war between the United States and Afghanistan, Sam was sent to Afghanistan, and the plane crashed during the mission. The official funeral was held for this outstanding officer, but he and his comrades were not known to fall into Afghanistan. The militants were brutally abused. The militants demanded that the American soldiers do something against their conscience and put their lives and their families at risk. They demanded that they admit that this war was a wrong one, apologize to the Afghan people, and record them one by one with video cameras. Ask Sam to kill his subordinates, or kill him, which Sam did in order to survive and get back to Grace. When he got home, he was greeted not only with the honor of a hero and the joy of having a new life, but also with nightmares, condemnation of conscience, and endless self-punishment. Slandering her for having an affair with Tom.
Some people say that watching a movie is actually a collision of souls. A good movie that you watch more than once is a masterpiece that touches your soul.
"Brothers" is just such a work. The title "Brothers" is actually a contrast and an irony. A person with such an excellent personality can become so insignificant in front of life, and he can even save his own life. To do cannibalism, what if the roles of the younger brother and the elder brother in life are exchanged, the younger brother can also be a master of housekeeping, a kind uncle, a man to rely on, and a gangster in life. In comparison, a lieutenant has nothing to be proud of. In the scale of personality, they are equally important. The real test of personality is not in daily life, but in the choice between life and righteousness. out choice.
After doing something against morality, Tom pinned all his hopes on a warm family. However, the daughters prefer their uncles to their fathers, and their wives seem to be more tacit with their younger brothers. After the great injury, Sam, who was already vulnerable and suspicious, seemed to suffer He was stunned and had nothing for a moment, so he began to regret and blame himself. Instead of going to this point, it would be better to die with his comrades at that time.
There is no victory or defeat in war, as Sam said at the end of the credits, only dead person can see the end of the war while I am not dead but can I live again. Maybe this sentence tells us that there is war where there are people, But what's the point of having to wait until the day we die to understand that the war is wrong, if the tree-like tombstones in the endless soldier cemetery can make us understand that we have won the war and lost more, if Sam The tears can make us understand that war is the retrogression of human civilization, killing is a manifestation of the barbaric, and our conscience can't bear the burden of self-blame, hurting the fragile soul that goes hand in hand, then, proud and self-confident that we have the ability to conquer the world samurai, will you still wage war?
