Tobey Maguire Goes Crazy - Brothers (2009)

"you're my brother. You're my family" "I missed the part where that's my problem"

Toby maguire: acts amazingly Everyone: spoodermen

there’s another part of this scene on top of the plain old PTSD that’s been boiling to the surface the whole film. He’s angry that he killed his fellow serviceman just to come back to a crap life. I think if he knew the circumstances he was coming back to he would have given his life to save his fellow soldier in a heartbeat. The thought of his family, his wife and kids needing him, is what kept him going but upon return, he felt replaced and like an unwanted burden. I couldn’t imagine that pain.

Tobey is criminally underrated as an actor.

"Do you know what I can do with these hands?" Starts shooting webs

He goes crazy because they still didn't fix the Damn Door

This movie didn't receive the greatest reviews, yet Toby absolutely killed it. It's hard to watch this scene without being moved to tears. When I was a kid I could only see this dude as Spider-Man. How wrong I was! He's criminally underrated.

PTSD is hell. You feel alone at all times, even when you have support. No matter what you do or who you talk to, you never feel like anyone actually cares about you and you struggle to find a way out of the misery. It can get easier to cope with over time but it will never truly ever go away.

"Sam, I'm sorry for cheating." "You want forgiveness? Get religion."

She broke Spider-man, Thor, and Anakin’s heart

"YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HE SUFFERRED? HE SUFFERED BECAUSE OF YOU!" Sam is essentially speaking about Joe. Remember Sam survived and did everything to survive so he can return home, at the cost of killing another man, his own friend. And now he lives with that horrible guilt and can't move on from it. Meanwhile his daughter up and says his wife cheated on him with his brother (which they really didn't, they kissed and immediately regretted it), which makes him feel he killed Joe for nothing. That's what also is killing him inside.

the way the music builds up and drowns every other noise out when he puts the gun to his head is a good representation of blind rage.

Tobey really doesn’t get enough credit for his performance in this movie.

I remember when I was homeless in Santa Monica, Tobey McGuire gave me some money. Good heart.

When you know exactly how it feels to be this psychoticly angry, this scene hits far harder than the directors probably intended.

Tobey should have been nominated and won an Oscar for this role.... He's actually an underrated actor who can act in serious films

Proof that Tobey deserves more than just being remembered as Spider-Man.

These mysterio illusions are getting out of hand

This is what’s called getting robbed of your Emmy

I feel like repeating “you’re my brother, my family” would just be cutting into the already terrible wound. Like yeah no shit that’s one of the reasons he’s upset
