Brothers

Me and my boyfriend went to go see the new movie Brothers the other night, and it was fantastic. It was a good mixture of intensity and comedy. It was about one man named Sam, who was in the Army and was about to deploy about to back to Afghanistan.His brother, Tommy, has just gotten out of jail and leads a less than significant life. Their father wishes tommy would be more like his brother, which leads to major fights between the two. Sam and his wife have two little girls, who are sad about their father deploying again. Sam is fine with going back to Afghanistan because he has been over so many times that it feels like another home to him. When Sam deploys, tommy starts helping out sam's wife with his two nieces and fixing up their house. The family is told that sam is dead and the wife and tommy have a bit of a connection with each other, but nothing but a kiss happens. Sam is captured overseas by a rebel group and is put into a holding cell underground. He urges the other captive to not tell the people anything. Sam remains strong but the other guy is weak and succumbs to them. In a very dramatic and intense scene, Sam is forced to either kill his comrade or be shot to death. Under intense pressure and emotion, Sam chooses to beat the other guy to death, which causes him to loose his mental stability. After a while, he is rescued by other soldiers and is on his way home. When sam returns home, he has lost his touch with reality and is punishing himself for killing his friend. He also suspects that his wife and tommy are having sexual relations with each other, which they are not. At one of the little girl's birthday parties, the other daughter is dying for attention and blurts out that her mom and uncle tommy has been having sex all the time (which is not true). This leads to the climax of the movie where sam goes postal and about kills his brother. He is arrested and is sent to a mental hospital to get better. In the final scene, sam reveals why he is so stiff all the time, because he killed his friend.
