In the very moment, he is a one-step from being turned out of doors, ERIC MARSH (Josh Brolin) brings a social castaway into own view and gives Brendan a chance to become a part of something much bigger than he is now, as an alternative to death. The movie leaves the matter of taking a chance particularly as the firefighter open as the only thing in common goes no further than the medical courses in almost forgotten past. The doom perspective to end a life on the margins of society. The darkest hour is just before the sunset and Brendan himself finalizes his exclusion, finding oneself in jail. The young man is deprived of the opportunity to take any part in raising his own still not even born child. Brendan’s mother disavows her socially lost a son as the last line in her exhausted and desperate struggle. He is beaten up and kicked out of the bar, a modern analog to a merely discriminative tribal fire. He wastes his life on a couch side by side to a so-called friend, no good for anything except the same pathetic existence. These GoT words have so much in common with the characters of a movie, devoted to the forest firefighters in Arizona.īrendan Mcdonough, being one among the two main characters of the story, has driven himself to the state of the full-fledged drug-addicted fellow and a social black sheep, a non-person. ‘ The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives’.
A discouraging perspective to find oneself out of the group or even worse, to be hounded, for thousands of years was no less than a death penalty for any individual. For historical matters, this basic human instinct has evolved as the reflection of the thousands of generations of our ancestors, who lived within tribes. ‘Only the brave’ movie has proven to be surprisingly good at the cinematic narration of our natural need for cooperation with the others, for praise and respect.
