The original "Wolfman" earns its place for, of course, its star and as an example of true skill in the B&W age. The thing about "Brotherhood" is that it does what all great monster movies should do; focus on the characters and use the monster to advance the story. If you really watch Brotherhood, you'll notice the wolves get really very little screentime in relation to the whole. There's far more human-on-human violence than the wolves are responsible for. There are several layers to the film, especially concerning the nobility of the day and the brotherhood represented by Gregoire and Mani being greater than the titular organization, but as my good friend Angry Puppy noted, this isn't the place for a book. If you haven't seen either of these films, you're missing some great cinema.Eric R Lowtherhttp://www.ericrlowther.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
