The Other Brother
The other brother confused me. I can't even remember his name. I know it's based on the play and he was a character in that, but seriously he did NOTHING. I fail to understand why they made the trouble of finding someone for this part in the movie when he had virtually no lines and nothing to do. He's not even mentioned on the back cover of the movie or any sort of blurbs about the film as far as I've seen. On the back cover of the movie they acted like Lee only even HAD one son. The only plausible reason I can think to put him there is as a foil for Hank, but it he was meant to be a foil he certaily wasn't a very effective one. I was just sitting there thinking "Is this kid every going to DO something?" I mean, that part where Hank touched Marvin and he FREAKED out could have easily been done by the younger brother, but no. they gave that to Leo too. I found the whole thing strange.
