3. The Brothers Drake and the Search for the Journal
Do you remember the point at which something you were fascinated by grew into a passion you would chase for the rest of your life? This is that point for both of the Drake brothers. While this scene is rather long, the sibling-bonding romp through the mansion of antique treasures serves as a launching point for the brothers’ futures collecting and hunting lost fortunes. It is also an experience the brothers are able to share together. Many of us have shared a similar experience with a sibling or friend and while it may not have involved millions of dollars in artifacts, it’s still a memory we carry with us to remind ourselves that we’re not alone and that someone, somewhere out there understands us.
All of this is delivered through a stirring scene of brotherly love and is further compounded when the boys encounter Evelyn and uncover their mother’s secret life. Nate and Sam went searching for their mother’s journal, but they found so much more in an old samurai helm, a first edition pirate book, and an old polaroid camera.
