Brothers (No Spoilers I Promise!)

So today, Wesley and I went to go see Brothers. We hadn't planned on it, this was a completely spontaneous and chance decision. It was definitely some of the best two or so hours I've spent this break.

The movie stars Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, and the always-wonderful Natalie Portman. In my opinion they hit the jack pot when casting for this movie; everyone was absolutely perfect. The chemistry all three of them had together on screen was incredible and it didn't hurt that many people already confuse Maguire and Gyllenhaal for brothers in real life.

Everyone did a great job but there are a few members of the cast that gave a flawless performance. I've never really been much of a fan of Tobey Maguire but seeing his role in this movie blew me away. It was beautiful, tragic, and haunting with just the right amount of intensity.

But what really blew my mind was the performance of Bailee Madison who played Tobey and Natalie's daughter Isabelle. The complexity she brought to her role was stunning and she's only ten years old! This little girl definitely has a major career in front of her.

To all of you: please go see this movie, it is definitely one of the best in a while
