Hermano

I've watched hermano before this movie (Four Brothers)..

When I researched I realized that 4 brothers came out first than hermano, the argument is the same, the story is sort of the same too but in different context, Hermano is too similar to the 4 brothers movie with 2 brothers instead of 4 and based in a slum of Caracas instead of a slum in the States..

The one part that is different is the end so .. that's why I consider this is a 70% instead 100% of plagiarism... shame on you guys, I used to be proud of this movie until I realized isn't an original idea, and doesn't deserve the rate that it haves.

Watch the two movies and then make your own conclusions.

"Hermano" was probably the hardest film for me to watch so far. The violence, the hate, the competition, and the revenge was insane and crazy to watch. This film was very hard to watch, but at the same time, I do not think I would be able to stop watching it because the film creators keep it so interesting! Many scenes in the film shocked me. Often, these scenes stressed me out to the point where I had a headache, but that was what made the film so interesting. What made them even more shocking than just the plot of the scene, was the camera angles of the scene. It was filmed in such a way, that it felt like forever to get to the "big reveal," or the shocking part. Overall, this was a very well put together film, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys suspense and surprise.

The buildup of the chemistry between all the characters was a master class in development . The story line was interesting and felt authentic , both main characters were likable in their own ways and you rooted for them and for their success together and to remain close in spite of trials and everything that happened .

My main complaint were the soccer scenes were almost unwatchable because the camera angles were so bad and moving all over the place it looked like a "kung-fu" scene - and it was honestly hard to follow what was going on .

There were some great lines throughout the movie but one was "bother - the best times of my life are playing this game with you " that really summed up the feel and central point of the film .

The ending was honestly totally devastating and leaves you feeling sad , somewhat betrayed and hopeless - but a good reminder the mistakes you make as a youth can stay with you forever .

Worth the watch .

Well.. Maybe you hasn't saw this movie, maybe because is not in English, or just maybe because is foreign. In my humble opinion, this movie is a mix a good actuation, an excellent story and a unexpected ending.

This movie isn't just about soccer, is about life. About overcome the difficulties and fight for your dreams in one of the hardest places in South America.

An interesting mix of feelings, friendship, brotherhood, and love in a violent ambient, where every day the people just fight for survive.

A real Hermano (brother) will never let you down.

One of the most underrated movie ever. The emotion of the movie gets you so deep. You'd better watch it!
