Stupidity: Very heroic of Michael to save his brother, but the way the scene plays out, there's no reason why he had to get on the railway tracks himself and shove him away taking a train to the knee rather than just grab his arm and pull him, which would have been much quicker. Note; he did not rush to him and tackle him, which could very well happen in the heat of the moment. He jumped on the tracks, grabbed him, turned around, and gave him a push. That's very awkward to look at and unnatural.
