I find this intriguing, but I ask myself ‘why two brothers and not one ?’ i.e Fresh home from war a young marine has to defend his family when his secret past comes back to haunt him.’ (Excuse my extra words)
I was brainstorming two brothers because the wrong doings of the past are the reason for one brother to lose his life in the film. So the safety of the family is eventually left up to one brother.
The word “past” is a bit squishy and vague … I’m assuming that there is some antagonist from his past that is actually the real danger? Perhaps specify what that is instead?
Wouldn’t that make the logline too long and wordy. Possiblly giving away too much?
Wouldn’t it be easier to relate to a character who has to see and make amends for his own mistakes / accept his own moral flaw / have a revelation about his own way of acting in the world, than for vicariously making amends for another’s mistakes ?
maybe ‘easier’ is the wrong word – more ‘valuable’ to an audience ?
Wouldn’t it also be easy to relate to a character who has to clean up after his brother’s mistakes all through their lives even after death? What if the careless/reckless brother has the revelation about the way he has been living his life only to realize it’s too late and his brother still has to clean his mess up?
Yes, let the brother have the revelation. But that revelation makes him the central character. I think you have to decide who the central character is. Or are they both central characters? Like Training Day ?
That’s what I was leaning toward. Two flawed characters. One more flawed then the other.
