this is a good story but it was not the one I was looking for.
July 19, 2008 |  | My Review of Ira Levin's Story |  |
This is a really neat story and it makes a great movie! It's kind of difficult at times
to see Gregory Peck as the bad guy, but, it just takes some getting used to and he's
a "wonderful" bad guy! Ira Levin's stories always made great pictures-it's just too
sad that he died recently. I loved this movie!
March 25, 2008This movie has probably ended up playing the role of a "predictor" of events. When it was made, probably one could not have imagined that cloning or genetic sequencing would advance so rapidly. The evil Dr. Josef Mengele gathers all his Nazi cronies with a view to creating 94 "little Hitlers" and killing their fathers in order to recreate the actual environment surrounding Hitler's boyhood. As they say, the final product is determined both by Nature and Nurture. Mengele's aim is to try and recreate both with a view to eventually ruling the world through this half-crazed plan. One of the best movies of all time.
November 16, 2007Watching a film about human cloning now makes it seems not as far fetched as when this film was made nearly 30 years ago. It was a prescient film, the only part of which is beyond credibility now was the number of clones successfully produced. Olivier and Peck give great performances as does the scary clone. I was surprised to find it had an 18 rating. Perhaps it is all that cigarette smoking that the young should not see? It is certainly a film to make one support the banning of human cloning.
October 20, 2007This movie presents a subject matter that was ahead of its time. The subject of cloning when this picture was made was science fiction. It presents with a strange feeling that it might be possible that it can occur. I wanted to see this movie again, since I remembered seeing it way back in the 80's and the strange effect it had on me at the time. The fact that one of of lead characters, Sir Laurence, was quite ill at the time in real life, brings out the truely great performance of this actor. The BOYS and their piercing blue eyes leaves a lasting impression
of the movie.
