Beyond the Plot

The movie Brothers shows how hard it is for soldiers to return to a normal life after serving in the middle east. The Hurt Locker shares the same theme however one of these movies came out miles ahead of the other in my opinion.

I know that critics rave about The Hurt Locker but I just can't see what makes it so great. In the first half hour it seemed like it was gonna be a good movie but then I noticed a pattern. One day, the soldiers went out to diffuse a bomb, and then the next day they went out to diffuse another bomb. And guess what happened after that, they diffused yet a another bomb. I couldn't even sit still during this movie cuz it was so boring to me. It didn't tell a story at all. I felt like the movie had no progress and it was hard to bond with the characters. I understood the destination but I didn't understand the journey. 

Now Brothers had a similar destination but a much more interesting journey. The characters were much more relate-able and the movie had a story that you could actually follow. I would recommend watching this movie. I watched it twice in one day. 

I'm including the trailer for both movies below. Let me know which movie you thought was better.
