Last night I got to watch The Brothers Bloom for the first time. Wow is this a good film. The annoying thing about films starring con men is you never know what’s real and what isn’t until the very end. This film milks that like crazy. You get lead on a trail and all you can do is follow it. Don’t try and second guess this. There really is no point.
Normally I dislike characters with little cute quirks. Just because I always feel that most people in this world don’t have major things like most film characters apparently do. Thus the quirks just distance yourself from how real the character really is. Especially when they rub it in your face. But in Brothers Bloom. I couldn’t help but love everything about them all. Bang Bang is one of the best characters I have ever seen in film.
Anyway. I just wanted to voice how much I loved this and I think everyone should watch it. It packs a great emotional punch and has a lot of replay value.
