Brothers of the Head

Brothers of the Head is based on the true story of conjoined twins Tom and Barry Howe.They were born in the southern half of the United Kingdom and were sold to the circus by their father when they were just kids. The circus leader decided to give them to a manager (Howard Attfield) who would manage there talents into whatever way possible. Howard decided to make them into a band. Tom already had some musical skill and Barry was not opposed to the idea. The movie was great because it involved creative camera effects, followed an interesting idea, and was very well made. It was also independently made so it must have been much more time consuming and sincere. Brothers of the Head worried people in previews when people though it would not capture the English landscape and culture very well or use misconceptions of the British culture on account of it was made in the southern panhandle of Texas. The movie proved critics wrong and nailed it right on the head, and people couldn’t find misconceptions or problems in the films direction, storyline, or actors. The movie received the top film award at the Edinburg film festival. Brothers of the Head were an amazing movie all together. I couldn’t call any movie my favorite but this one is for sure up there.
