Parable of the lost sons

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2012)

Movie is loosely related to the Parable of the prodigal son,set in a modern everyday American setting.This movie is seen from the eyes of the two brothers.Both needed forgiveness and love.The "brotherhood" of belonging to the navy or army can never replace the true bond of a family. Even though the younger brother spurned the forgiveness of the elder brother but eventually that was what he was really seeking.His pride and anger prevented him from talking the problem out with his brother.He best expressed his challenges in the 'ring'.The 'art of fighting' was a gift given to the two sons by their father.It is in the 'ring' they will find redemption and love,which we all long for. Now will the elder brother spurn the love and forgive his father? On the whole a great movie
