Brother

I enjoyed this movie a lot. It was a change of pace from the movies we have been watching, and it was more like something our generation would watch in the United States. I think on our triangle it was less artistic than the previous movies we watched. However, I am not saying that it was poorly filmed I just didn't see many things placed for artistic purposes.

As for the movie itself, i enjoyed many aspects of it. I thought it was interesting that the main character was obsessed with music. He was always commenting on peoples music, and always searching for CDs like it was a comforting thing for him or something. I also enjoyed how (although he was violent about it) he kind of helped people in need. He wanted to hurt the least amount of people while getting the task at hand completed. I felt as though the mob boss was much less intimidating than ones that we may see in American movies. The fact that he's always speaking in proverbs makes him more humorous than dangerous. Finally, i thought it was funny that the older brother (Viktor?) was the one in the end that was sent home to take care of his mother. Their mother said the older brother was someone the younger brother should look up to; however, he was the one in the end that tried to set his brother up and ended up weaping on the ground like a child. In the end it was like they switched roles and the younger brother took over the city and the older brother should look up to him. Overall, this movie was very good.
