This opening sequence showcases two brothers on some sort of journey, walking through various fields and roads, which shows that they know where they are going. Throughout this journey, there are flashbacks of the two boys in their youth, as children and babies. One shot in particular shows the older child/brother to be caressing the younger child, symbolising his protection of his little brother, which is also shown as they walk on their journey, as the older brother is leading the way.
The older brother in the front is wearing a green jacket and holding a large green bag, which makes me think that he is/was in the army. On the other hand, the younger brother is in a tracksuit, this shows his age to some extent as he is younger and teenagers are often seen as rebellious/lazy.
Another assumption I make from this opening sequence is that the two brothers are going somewhere because something bad has happened, to elaborate, i feel like the younger brother has done something wrong and is relying on the older brother to fix it for him, as the lyrics in the soundtrack (which is slow and slightly depressing) are 'I can't be held responsible'. These lyrics are repeated and could be explaining that the older brother cannot be held responsible for the actions of the younger brother, as they journey back to fix their problem.
