IIRC when first released the movie was a flop. The big name actors were teased about obviously having some big bills to pay if they signed on to such a stinker of a film, with such an unbelievable plot, etc.
But it seems it was just ahead of its time, scientifically speaking. Today its premise isn't outrageous - it's probably now technically possible to achieve the cloning. So over the years its audience and popularity has greatly grown. It's a great adventure now, and the kids are chilling.
I remember an interview with Frank Zappa where he said that as a kid in the 1940's and 50's he would always have to turn to the very last pages of the newspaper for the news that he wanted because scientific advancement just wasn't the front page news that it is today.
With that in mind, no wonder sci-fi and creature features were such a popular b-movie genre. It can't have been too hard to scare people with something that they were completely ignorant to?
Well now, lets see then: Brando said Jews controlled Hollywood and never got another major break until the Godfather in the 1970's. Peck, on the other hand did a lot of Elia Kazan inspired Jew/Afro centric stuff and got an Oscar. I wonder who is full of shit. I think its you. You and Gregory.
i admit that my colon is about to blow, but everyone knows, jews control hollywood. i doubt that led to brando being ostracized. he was a super draw at the box office and you know, jews love money.
peck did a lot of great movies and was a singular presence on screen. i'm not a fan of kazan and the black list red diaper babies. you have to be smart when you pick your fights, and peck appears to be shrewder than brando in this regard.
Demonstrating the capacity for original thought may not be all that popular, but it's a lot more healthy and rewarding than letting the neurons get soft and lazy.
Sarcasm is an old acquaintance of mine, but even those we know best can slip by undetected when mingling with a crowd, especially when it's wearing certain clothing. Sarcasm generally needs to wear clothing from the Irony line in order to both be recognizable and look its Sunday best.
But what do I know? I'm just a Hollywood-controlling Jew who loves money. =}
BRAVO SIR!!! WELL SAID!!! He was fond of making Pro-Jewish films, Civil Rights stuff, but Brando, who didnt like Jews telling him what to do, and he was really a man who supported minorities, like the Native Americans.
Film is fairly good---Premise is GREAT (Nature & Nurture & DNA sample---to recreate Hitler)
and Actors are some of 20th C's BEST.
(Watch regular TV for edited version more suited for teens---Would be good science ethics discussion starter. (PS good thing Peck altered his appearance so we don't think Atticus Finch crossed over to the dark side!!!) This---and GATTACA and Jurassic Park-good DNA related plots!
It is chilling to imagine all this.Mengele was monster enough in deathcamps,if he would have really gone through with such an idea as in this film I bet there are people today that would follow him as a grown Hitler as they did in World War II and long before that.Which is pure insanity.Love the film!!!!!
Yes that's what I thought. If you added either Gielgud or Ralph Richardson to the group the whole movie would probably reach critical mass and explode.
just read the book and my heart was a 110 beats per minute Mengler was evel but i agree with the cloning part but not for the same purpose Wonderful actor
Instead you have "Holohoax Museums" springing up all over the country, indoctrinating our children with LIES and perpetuating the eternal victim status of a vile race.
vot can I say to you, ignoramus. My grandfather died at the hands of you butchers. Work shall set us free? Ve are victims. But in my Jewish heart, I offer you Halvah. Would you like some matzo ball soup?
And while you feast of my people's food, I curse you. Swine.
What the...? Are you insane? I would say I hope you are joking, but even then your comment would be disgusting. You're unbelievable. You make me ashamed to be a white person--nay, you make me ashamed to be a human being.
My grandfather sat on the board of directors of IG Farben the chemical corporation which not only used slave labor but also produced Zyklon-B. He was totally aware of what was going on and in a way helped it along. After the war he donated almost all of his fortune to Holocost survivor charities and spent the rest of his life looking for forgiveness he never got and never should have got. Was he lying about what he did? How do you explain the murder of 9 million people?

Yeah, I heard too, and that Brett Ratner's gonna helm the project, which kinda pisses me off. He's gonna end up screwing the whole thing up. No movie can replace "The Boys from Brazil."
@SlyNicolai Both the movie and book are outstanding; some deviation from the book, but it works on film.
