Fourth watch of ''Two Brothers'' was worth it.The film has a heart-melting plot which had touched me the first time I had watched it years back.The story of two tiger brothers-Sangha and Kumar teach us more than any love story.The two tigers in the film are separated and each beast (being) has his experience with human beings(beasts).Only the two humane characters who understand the divine feeling of love are the hunter,McRory and the child,Raoul.The later of course is the better of the two with more pure and true love for his friend Sangha (because of his lesser experience in cruel men).McRory's words to Kumar (the tiger whom he loved),''forgive me'' towards the end of the film, actually is his asking for forgiveness for all his misdoings.However The truest love shown in the film is the one shared by the two tigers.Even in danger when they are surrounded by fire in the jungle Kumar doesn't leave his brother;he jumps back to rescue Sangha who is not trained like him in the circus to jump through a ring of fire. At last they unite with their mother and the ray of sunlight passing through the bullet hole in their mother's ears is a beautiful conclusion with a ray of hope.
The symbolic moments are well projected.One such is when the two brothers roam freely and the man with the jar of fish drops it in the river out of fear.(tigers,the wild savage beasts set the fish free instead of man).Another such scene is when Kumar lies quietly inside the cage and a bird enters the cage and digs in the piece of meat.
The wonderfully directed film by Jean Jacques Annaud shows us the bond of love that should have been between we humans but is missing because we are ''not wild and savage'' like the beings in the jungle.
I find one more reason to save tigers...they are the one who know to love and value relationships.
Dedicated to all those beings who speak a different language and live in the deep Green.
