NO! NO! NO! HELP ME TED, Ted my brother - ted I am - CRYING!
And these godforsaken fukin tears won't STOP! I am sobbing like a fucking pussy Ted. It only really happened to me near the end, but when it did I broke down more times than a funk beat.
What a great movie, how dare it do this to me, me - FRANK BONOBO, crying like a little girl who can't find her mummy, like a little girl who finally finds her mummy only to be told that her daddy has now gone missing, like a little girl who then finds her father on a sunny Monday morning only to be told he has cancer of the arse and won't make it to Friday - her birthday.
Fuck, what a great movie. So what's it about? It's about love, the love of two brothers. It's set against the Korean War, but that is unimportant, as the film is not interested in the politics of that war. This film states quite clearly to the viewer, "If you want the politics of the Korean War go buy a fukin book titled 'The Politics of The Korean War'." No, what this film is interested in is the love of two brothers, yea it touches on all the usual epic war movie themes i.e. how war turns men into savages; how close friends can be turned against each other; how pride and honour are manipulated and twisted into tools of mass destruction - but what Brotherhood is really about is the fierce, true brotherly love of two brothers caught up in a nightmare.
Aah Christ Ted I love ya, the tears, the damn tears are a coming again.
Great acting, jaw dropping battle choreography, intense close up hand to hand fighting, horrifying carnage, massive body count, how no one died on set underneath all the exploding earth and mortar, I have no fuking idea? Five million people were said to have died in the Korean War and I think they've got 'em all in this movie.
As usual, if you want to know more about the plot, go see the movie - in the past Ted and I have violently fuked to the point of murder and then beyond many fools who have giving away too much plot, and in the future we will merrily do the same.
RATING: If you truely love your brother you will love this movie, and if you don't cry buckets full, you either have no brother, or he's a dick.
BONOBO RATING: 5 million tears.
Director: Kang Jue Kyn
Cast: Jang Dong-Geon, Won bin, Lee Eujoo and 25,000 fukin extras (That's a fact!).
