What critics say influenced Two Brothers
Like the horrific mustang roundup that ends John Hustonâs The Misfits, the animalsâ fear is real and presents an ethical quagmire.
Jean-Jacques Annaud and his writing partner Alain Godard ("Enemy at the Gates," "The Name of the Rose") have created a dual fable reminiscent of the tales of Kipling.
Although Annaud and screenwriter Alain Godard (The Name of the Rose) tiptoe around the subject of sex, discreetly showing tigers mating, they aren’t shy when it comes to their feelings about animal abuse.
Jean-Jacques Annaud's ("The Name of the Rose"/"The Bear"/"Quest for Fire"/"Seven Years in Tibet") Two Brothers is intended to be a family-value entertainment children's story.
Did you know … Director Annaud's other films include “Quest for Fire,” “The Name of the Rose,” “The Bear,” “The Lover” and “Seven Years in Tibet.”
But like all animal dramas (think Bambi or Born Free), Two Brothers contains material that may be inappropriate for children younger than 7.
