One of the most controversial and complex genres in cinema is war cinema. The creator of such a film needs not only to demonstrate and convey the horror of the actions taking place in the picture, but also to reflect the most important historical events without special biases and distortions .
The heroes of such films are brothers in arms - a group of military men who are close in spirit due to the circumstances or experienced trials of people who provide each other with help and support. Many filmmakers, so as not to be too clever with the name, give their work a simple and understandable name - "Brothers in Arms".
2001 series
The series "Brothers in Arms" tells about the combat feats of the company E of the second battalion, belonging to the 506th paratrooper regiment of the 101st airborne division of the United States during World War II. Its producers are Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. Everything is balanced in the project - semantic fullness and triumph of special effects.
The narrative is realistic, the moments are harsh and apolitical, which is especially pleasant. Another important advantage of the series are the actors. Brothers in Arms is a film that has a great cast. Impression is made by all, without exception, from the main characters to secondary characters having literally a couple of replicas.
In the work of David Frankel and other directors, James McEvoy, Michael Fassbender and David Schwimmer starred at the dawn of their acting career . For Tom Hardy, the series became a film debut. Perfectly reincarnated in the image of their characters, Andrew Scott, Dominic Cooper and Simon Pegg. This project is one of the highest quality made in the history of the film industry, everything is on the level: musical accompaniment, visual effects, drama, script, actors. Brothers in Arms is a movie that should be highly recommended for viewing.
Not military, but brothers
“Bikers: Brothers in Arms” (actors: K. Mulvey, M. Nable, S. Porter, M. Dermody, E. Hayes) is a film reenactment of the events that actually happened on September 2, 1984 between the two motorcycle clubs Bikeros Candidos and Comanchero. The script of the series is based on the confrontation of two leaders - the leaders of biker groups. Matthew Nable and Cullan Malway authentically and convincingly demonstrated on the screen all the motives that caused the Milperra Massacre, and the characteristics and vices of their characters.
Supporting roles were performed by Damien Walsh-Hawling and Richard Cowthorne. They could not make their characters bright - this is the fault of the authors, who basically concentrated the viewer's attention on the central antagonists, and not on the entourage surrounding them. Director Peter Andrikidis clearly demonstrates how the archetypal spirit of a warrior, present in the male subconscious, along with rivalry displaces the remnants of sanity, overshadowing the initial ideas and goals of the biker movement.
"Universal Soldier"
Universal Soldier 2: Brothers in Arms (actors: M. Battaglia, E. Jackson, E. Bryson, C. Rushton) is the brainchild of director Jeff Woolnaf. It was he who had to work with a tiny allocated budget, which ruthlessly absorbed all the components of a decent fantastic action movie. Maybe that's why, experiencing the pangs of creative powerlessness, the author begins to resort to unveiled quotes from someone else's.
The story underlying the script frankly loses to other episodes of the franchise, not to mention the original film. Unfortunately, in the television project, the fantastic focus of the plot is gradually giving way to the unspoken “soap”. The authors forget about the drive and action. In the first place are the trials of family ups and downs. The only salvation of the series is the actors. Brothers in arms, universal soldiers evoke sympathy thanks to the efforts of invited stage masters. The viewer is delighted with the tricks of the well-known film antagonist Gary Busey. The hero of the specially invited star Bert Reynolds, who is shot exclusively no higher than the chin, but the audience will instantly recognize the Hollywood veteran, is also of interest.
1988 Drama Thriller
The brainchild of George Bloom, the film "Brothers in Arms" (actors: T. Allen, C. Grant, D. Pfeiffer, D. Starrett) is a dramatic thriller that did not win the frenzied popularity of the viewer and the favor of critics. The plot is quite commonplace, the screenwriters D. Sean Kirkpatrick and Steve Fisher failed to turn it into an intriguing story. Two brothers, walking around the neighborhood, save the unfortunate captive from reprisal, but they themselves become the object of persecution of religious sadistic fanatics. The brothers will have to fight with intruders, having experienced consanguinity for strength and becoming brothers in arms.
Western 2005
The 2005 film "Brothers in Arms" (actors: D. Carredin, G. Kosses, R. Cruz, D. Day) was directed by Jean-Claude La Marré. He tells a criminal story about the activities of the local head of the mafia. There is no government for the criminal, even the mayor famously dances to his tune. But it also has its Robinguds. Several daredevils decide to rob Driscoll, but to cope with authority is not easy, because he is guarded by ruthless bounty hunters.
1991 Adventure Action
The fighters of the Delta division in this film were brought to life by L. Alzado, R. Washburn, J.K. Ingvordsen and L. Henriksen - little-known actors. Brothers in Arms is a benefit film by J. Christian Ingvordsen, who appeared in the film as a director, screenwriter, producer and actor.
The plot of the action movie is trivial: the elite unit is tasked with neutralizing the head of the world's most dangerous terrorist group. But they expect a complete failure. To ensure success for the second time, the US government decides to cooperate with Russia. American Delta and Russian special forces will go shoulder to shoulder.
