The older daughter comments that Sam seems mad that uncle Tommy slept with mommy, and Sam is pushed over the edge. In country, Sam's helicopter is shot down and all are presumed dead. Back home, while Sam wastes away as a prisoner in a remote encampment, Tommy tries to take care of the widow and her two children.

Quotes Sam Cahill : I'm drowning, Tommy. User reviews Review. Top review. Brothers is something we may have seen before - if not in its original incarnation from Denmark in then The Deer Hunter - then it is something that surprises just on the vulnerability, subtlety and ferocity of the actors in their roles. It's not about what the trailer pushes, which is an affair between a guy Jake Gyllenhaal and his sister in law Natalie Portman while the one guy's brother Tobey Maguire is away at war.
There is one scene of that, but that's not really what the film is 'about' per-say. It's about the personal affects of war on one man, a horrific tragedy that befalls him, and how he has to live with that the rest of his life, specifically in front of his wife and children.
Maguire's Sam says it simply towards the end: "Only the dead see the end of war. I have seen the end of War. How do I go on living? This is seeing the actors- Portman, Gyllenhaal, Sam Shephard, especially Maguire- fill in these characters with enough depth and passions and fears and desires and ghosts that make them more than real to us. That's not just their achievement but director Jim Sheridan's. He lets his players breathe life into characters who, while not wooden or two-dimensional by any stretch, need that extra push as seen in David Benioff's characterizations and scenarios.
Family life, its fragility and it's equal amount of love and self-torment, is what counts again, Deer Hunter , and it's this that works in the film. A word though about Tobey Maguire. I'm not the only critic pointing him out, and it goes without saying he's not the only worthwhile actor in the cast there's even performances by the girls playing Sam's kids that are extraordinary. But it's the transformation that really counts.
Sam goes outside as the police arrive, waving the gun and firing shots in the air. Sam is shown at a mental health center. He calls Tom, saying he thinks everything will be fine. Sam meets with Grace, who is begging him to talk to her. A long time passes and Sam confesses to Grace that he killed Willis. The camera zooms out on them still talking, and a narration by Sam says only the dead have seen the end of war.
