HSE X ITS: THE ALTERNATIVE POSTER BROTHER (1997)
BROTHER (1997)
In this poster, Danilia kneels on the dusty, dimly lit warehouse floor, gazing with sorrowful eyes at the lifeless body before her. A faint light from behind casts her silhouette onto the floor, but the shadow is not merely her own it morphs into the figure of her brother, yet with a monstrous face, glowing eyes, and a menacing expression. The contrast between light and darkness intensifies the eerie atmosphere, portraying a haunting blend of grief and terror that engulfs Danilia.
The poster features a table where Danilia assembles bullets and weapons. Scattered across the surface are bullets, bullet casings, gunpowder, and a shotgun. On the floor, a mysterious dark shadow looms, adding an eerie and suspenseful atmosphere to the scene.
The poster depicts a person playing chess. The red chess pieces represent Danilia, armed with her weapon, while the white pieces symbolize Victor, her brother. Behind Danilia, several fallen pieces lie scattered, signifying the enemies she has defeated.
The poster features a bald man, Victor, the older brother, with an intimidating expression, dressed sharply in a black suit. His hands are stretched forward as if controlling something, with red strings connecting him to the figure below a young man in a red jacket, Danila, the younger brother, holding a weapon in his hands. His expression is resolute, yet the red strings wrapped around his body signify that he is merely a pawn in a larger game. The dark city silhouette in the background enhances the mysterious and tense atmosphere, while the dominant red color conveys tension, danger, and the complex relationship between the two characters.
This poster features a music player that Danila frequently uses. On the cassette, there is an image of Danila with a calm expression and his older brother, Victor, with an intimidating smile, facing each other. In the background, the album cover of the band Nautilus, whose songs are often played in the film, is prominently displayed.
This poster adopts a modern illustration style reminiscent of a tarot card, depicting the complex relationship between two brothers. At the top, Danila is shown with a determined expression, wearing a jacket and carrying a shotgun over his shoulder, symbolizing his role in carrying out dangerous missions. In contrast, the lower part of the card reflects Victor, his older brother, holding a stack of money, emphasizing his greed and lack of concern for Danila beyond financial gain. The background features intricate geometric patterns, creating a mystical atmosphere that reinforces themes of fate and control. The contrasting colors of purple, blue, and gold add a dramatic tone, highlighting the tension and manipulation in their relationship, while the central title 'BROTHER' underscores their entanglement in a game much larger than mere family ties.
