Two brothers (Jean-Jacques Annaud) From his previous movies we know JJ Annaud loves to make movies about nature, people and history.
Although this is certainly not his best movie, he manages to make people think about what he makes. Here about the steeling of artifacts and killing of wild animals in foreign colonies.
First of all, its a movie about two brother tigers, who s parents are hunted because tigers kill. In this, not really defined place (somewhere India or Bangladesh) they kill people and domestic animals (buffels).
When Aidan McRory (Guy Pearce), who plays a man who steels authentic artifacts from the forests, kills the mother-or father of the two small tigers (not defined), the two brothers are brought to two different places.
At that time the place is controlled by French politicians who have a colony in the region, and one of those high ranked officer s son gets a tiger. The other one is sold to a circus, as a vicious tiger. The first one is making really trouble and is sold to the head of the colony who has several fierce animals in his dungeon.
After a year they are brought together to fight to each-other. But the two brothers recognize each other and wont fight and escape.
In general not bad, but the visual effect could be done a lot better and off course in such sentimental films the script is made for children to understand.
A feel good movie.
Nice movie, but still: 5.5/10

La meglio gioventu (Marco Tullio Giordana) 2003
A very interesting movie about the life of an Italian family. The movie starts at the year 1966 and goes on until 2003. It s about the family Carati, father, mother, two sons and two daughters.
Before choosing what to do with their lives, the two brothers Carati and there two friends: Carlo Tomassi and Vitale are planning a trip through Europa. But at that moment Matteo gets inspired by Giorgia, a mentally disturbed girl who lives in a center for people with psychological problems, and he wants to help her. From then on, Matteo wont be the same anymore. Although he is quiet bright and studies medicines like Nicola he chooses a different path.
Nicola works in a hospital to help people with psychological problems and helps them back into society. The only two people closest to him he cant really help; his brother Matteo and his wife Giulia.
The film is about 6 hours long and is mostly shown on two DVD s of each 3 hours. Originally made for the television screen in four episodes. The only real thing Marco Tullio Giordino (director) changed was the original music score.
This document is an ultimate collectors item, because its about ordinary life through a couple of centuries and about Italian history.
So u can see the attacks on officials (judges, magistrates, ..) in the eighties and nighties and the communist cells who made Italy look like a war zone from time to time (It begins with student uprizes).
The flooding of Firenze, where Nicola comes to help and Matteo (as a soldier) too. There Nicola meets his future wife, Giulia. Who plays excellent piano. But she is also a member of the communist resistance.
It s nice to see the evolution of people through more than thirty years and their changes. And how the world changes. Quiet a remarkable thing to do and well done by Giordana, who works with actors he worked with before. Almost all the actors knew each other from previous films or from academy. What makes them work like real people in a movie, like it happened within real live.
In this genre of film; La meglio gioventu is from a very good quality and scores a 9/10. Good directing, good acting and an intelligent look on the history of Italy (1966-2003).

Last Days
The newest film of Gus Van Sant (To die for, Elephant, ). This movie is about the life of Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), played by Michael Pitt. It s typically Van Sant that he makes his movies to let the audience think for themselves. In the movie the names are not the names from the authentic Nirvana crew and its especially about Cobain. His entourage is seen in the film but everything turns around the main character. Van Sant does not use popular actors in most of his films. Last Days is not spectacular but shows quiet good the last days of Cobain, who lives for his music and is for most of the time in his own world where nobody can enter. There are people all the time in his neighborhood and small parties, people calling, but Blake (Cobain-Pitt) is most of the time not really around. Its clear that this hero for lots of young people had the money to buy everything, but at the end only loves his music and hates all the fuss about his popularity. I film u can think over after u have seen it.
