Oh my goodness what a wild ride! A film that is just as bizarre as its plot sounds. Nazi hunter Ezra Liebermann (Laurence Olivier) investigates a German doctor, Josef Mengele (Gregory Peck) after he finds out Mengele is plotting an insane mass assassination in hopes to revive the Third Reich. These men that Mengele are planning to assassinate are fathers of adopted kids that were cloned by Dr. Mengele. That’s all I will say without spoiling its outrageous twist.
The Boys from Brazil is a film that will be enjoyed by how you view the film. I did not watch this film as a thriller, like I did with a related film like Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds. I watched this film as a dark, satirical comedy. Its outlandish plot doesn’t feel like it should be taken seriously. Like literally its twist was so bizarre, I laughed out loud.
Is The Boys from Brazil a must watch? Well while it has an absolutely stacked cast, with Gregory Peck giving one to the craziest performances of his career, I don’t think this film is a MUST see. But if you want to watch a film that is outlandishly insane and not meant to be taken completely seriously, this film is a perfect example.
