i do not thunk much of this movie and much of the blame should be center on ira levin source novel . someone rightly point out that personality be possibly more to do with environment that genetics and so how come nobody realise that nazi germany wasn not all down to hitler . i be think of million of german who fight and lose a world war from 1914 to 1918 and ten of million of german be affect by the term of the versaille treaty . hitler himself fight in the war and be lie in hospital when the war end and all these factor have far more importance in the creation of nazi germany than hitler father be a civil servant . in other word levin plot be totally ludicrous to say the least . apart from the silly plot the main problem with the film version of boy from brazil be the acting and it quite ironic that with a story center around jew that there so much ham on display . really the acting be really awful and so bad that you can not help laugh at the performance . laurence olivier give possibly the bad performance of his career while gregory peck seem to be give an impersonation of basil fawlty and oh gawd even james mason be bad and that not something i can say lightly yeah this be an entertaining movie but if youre make a thriller it vital that you thrill the audience and not have them roll in the aisle with something that feel like it a sequel to the producer . how amusing be it theo . it so amuse that i burst out laugh when someone make the very predictable cry of help get a doctor i be a doctor you idiot .
