Watching films about great hunters killing wild animals does not interest me and I avoided this film in the cable listings for quite a while. But now that I've seen it, I'm sorry I waited this long. As an animal lover, especially wildlife, I found this movie to be totally enthralling. It's a story, and quite a good one. The animal action was very good, credos to the trainer, and to the beautiful tigers. The acting was excellent, with the players exhibiting social norms from the early 20th century, making it a good period piece. Guy Pearce made a good central character, as he always does. The story is touching, and I confess it had me a bit tearful during especially tense scenes.The interaction between the people and the tigers is unforgettable.The camera work and the top notch editing gave the film its life.Recommend.

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.

This is such a movie about the 2 young tiger cubs who were made separated in early age when they were in the care of their mother. I never saw the emotions and feelings of the two tigers depicted in any kind of story. Their thoughts were as real as we have , they had a family bond and relationship to care most about. It has given me the 1st ever inside look into the sentiments of the animal world. I was watching the world through their eyes. How much a mother tiger was in distress when her one cub is in cage and she cant make him released. The other thing was when the same cub was sold to the circus , he refused to eat inside the cage, then an elderly tiger decides to entertain and befriend the cub and it really worked, and how much the cub was schoked and dismayed when the same tiger was killed by the circus administration just in order to provide the king his skin., the cub wasn't happy anyway to be promoted like this. while the the other one landed into the house of one rich trader, where his son made him his best buddy. after an incident the cub was forcibly sent to the royal zoo , despite the displeasure and grief of boy. When the two were reunited , they were made rivals to fight each other for the sake of the king , s pleasure and crowd entertainment, and here was the moment of climax.They recognized each other. Even i was so much excited by seeing it i shouted in joy and happiness, and look at the people when the 2 started to embrace each other ,they met the treatment of stone throwing but at last both made their escape from the same place to be free for ever. They too had a right to love and care for each other the human beings deny them, their most basic one even a little boy and a hunter understood it but no other man and woman did. It is time for us to ensure the survival of this great cat the lord of the jungle from being ruthlessly ,mercilessly hunted , coz we may know it or not but our own salvation and survival is also related to the greatest cats. My personal applause for kumal and sanga The tigers, lead actors of the beautiful film.

Have never heard of this movie till we saw it last night and we were absolutely blown away! Are these real tigers in the movie? They looked like real to me and no CGI was involved except maybe in one scene where the mother tiger was trying to chase after her cubs.Human actors had sub par performances but like other mentioned here this movie is not about the humans but the tigers. Those extremely adorable tiger cubs that I'm sure everyone will fall in love with the second that they lay their eyes on them.This is also an very emotional film for it depicts how cruel can humans be, and the moral of it all is to reserve wildlife and give these magnificent animals one more chance on this planet.
