Brother

I was a big fan of the film we watched today, I thought that the main character Danila was awesome. As a character i'd say that Danila was kind of a comic book vigilante while he does kill several people in the film they all seem to be bad people. Danila is a very violent character while i think he does not wish to be one, the main reason that he kills most of the people is to protect his brother or innocent civilians who he later becomes friends with like the German. This is what makes him more than just an ordinary mobster because he actaully cares for the innocent people in the story and he protects them almost like a crime fighter. I think that the film wants us to approve of his acts because the movie portrays just how bad St. Petersburg was in the 90's and I think that they were trying to suggest that the city needed some kind of super hero to clean up the city. Danila's background definately helps him out throughout the film as a solider in the army while he claims that he only worked in the "HQ" i find it hard to believe that an HQ officer would know how to assassinate i mobster in the middle of a public market. Music plays a huge role in this movie for Danila because it helps him to escape reality and keep him sane from all of the violence that is going on around him. I think that without music Danila might have lost his head and just gone insane.
