Movie MarauderThe Boys from Brazil
January 5th 2009 14:37
If you love a movie that really makes you think, you have got to see the classic film, "The Boys from Brazil", based on the book by Ira Levin.
The concept of the movie is that a Nazi doctor has cloned Hitler 94 times and placed them as babies in various families around the world. The families have to meet certain conditions to be able to adopt the boys, like the father has to be 43 and the mother 29. The father has to be distant and stern, the mother doting and loving, just like Hitler's parents were. The movie begins with the Nazi doctor, Dr. Mengele telling a group of men that they need to commit 94 assassinations around the world, killing men that are all 65 years old. They go about their orders, while the Jewish Ezra Lieberman tries to decifer why these assasinations are taking place. To his horror, he discovers this plot of recreate the same conditions that Adolf Hitler grew up with for the 94 boys that were cloned from him and in effect create 94 Hitlers all over the world. Dr. Mengele is hoping for the perfect Arian race and has high hopes that his 94 boys cloned from Hitler in Brazil will make his dream a reality.
I have never actually read the book, but the movie itself was extremely facinating and a very scary concept. I love movies like this because they cause me to think about the possibilities of something like this taking place and the consequences of such events. I believe that the best movies do this to us, make us think and maybe even be grateful that the events that come to pass have not happended to us.
For a great eye opener, check out "The Boys from Brazil".
