Brothers (1/10) Movie CLIP - Family Dinner (2009) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Tommy (Jake Gyllenhaal) gets upset after his father advises him to be more like his brother Sam (Tobey Maguire).

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Jim Sheridan's film, adapted from Susanne Bier's 2004 movie, concerns Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire), a Marine who receives orders to ship out for yet another tour of duty in Afghanistan. But before he leaves his supportive wife, Grace (Natalie Portman), and his two elementary-school-age daughters, Sam picks up his black sheep brother, Tommy (Jake Gyllenhaal), who has finished a prison stretch for robbing a bank. While overseas, Sam's aircraft gets shot down and he's thought dead. Back home, irresponsible Tommy gets his act together in order to be an anchor for Grace and the girls, and the two grow emotionally -- though not physically -- close. As the family finally begins to make peace with their grief, soldiers rescue POW Sam and he returns home. Sam's experiences overseas have caused him such emotional turmoil, he has a difficult time adjusting to civilian life, and soon his fear and paranoia manifest themselves in the form of jealousy for his brother's relationship with his wife. Sam Shepard and Mare Winningham co-star as the brothers' father and stepmother.

HIT US UP:

[socomply]

In this short scene you can really tell how much the brothers love one another and really dont consider each other mistakes or overachievers or none of that. It's made very clear that the tension originates from the father and I think that's a more accurate representation of what it's like to be seen as a failure in your father's eyes. The idea that the brothers have each others backs and love one another no matter how different their lifestyles are.

[waggy]

"Why don't you try mimicking your brother?" Every sibling has their own set of qualities that makes them different

[SaucySoviet]

jake is great in his roles. that reaction... priceless.

[GenieVillain]

It's like the dad is trying to find something to be pissed off at about.

[thebassics]

I'll mimic my brother when you fix the damn door!

[rocky]

Prison food? (Bangs table) TOMMY! That's the acting I dig! :)

[osamabad]

I love the way he slams the table with so much intensity then restrains himself right after. Great acting

[Shade]

Mysterio, Jane Foster and Spider-Man eating Dinner together

[dakotawalker]

U should never have these kinda discussion at family dinner

[masterofdisguise]

1:40 the dad is such a troll look at his face 😂😂😂😂

[MsMimilala]

See this is the reason why my family don't sit round the dinner table anymore... aahhh

[demon]

Jake, Toby, and Natalie all should have gotten awards for this movie.

[j.a.]

I like how quickly tobey shouts out "tommy!" after the outburst almost as while its happening. You could say it's him jumping the gun cause you know what's next on the script but I think it's showing how his character knows what his brother is thinking and how he'll react before it even happens.

[ryans]

The dad totally instigated all that. I think Dady favours one child over the other.

[xavierramirez]

Apparently Spider Man works for the marines in this universe

[wukanimation]

The role reversal in the end between Tommy and Sam was amazing.

[LowesHoe]

"Who are the bad guys?" "The ones with the beards"
Such a laid back statement until you realize Sam's brother has a beard and is considered by Sam to be an enemy and when Sam killed the private he had a beard as well.

[Nani-Afinarte]

Trolling at its finest. When he gets the reaction he wanted, he leaves.

Update Dec 30, 2021.
Wow, I didn't think I'll get this much likes. Or even have someone agree with me. 😲😅

[chrisskull]

The crazy thing is they actually look like brothers

[eleonoramori]

1:20 I love how the girl doesn’t have food on her fork but still eats air
