Uma Nova Identidade

I enjoyed this more for the questions it raised, rather than the film itself. I've always liked the loss of identity, amnesia, who am I really? type plots. The story itself reads like one of Dean Koontz's potboiler novels. Also echoes of the 'Total Recall' film with the brain swapping stuff and having Kevin McCarthy as the unhinged scientist, brought back memories of the classic 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers.' One of the questions asked was the old 'what is the soul?' one. It was strange to see that the strongest character in the film itself was the brain imprints of a dead man! Asking the other question of what truly constitutes a person's personality.

Not the best film ever and really a strictly by numbers TV movie at the end of the day. But was oddly engaging and the two leads performed well in their dual roles. File under - not bad.

Up now, this is the best Kim's movie since Brazil: sure it's a cheap production with too much use of good luck but the story is really inventive and gripping: right the start, you understand that there is something unusual with those twins and at the end the project behind was really original: Kim is really great as a wife, mother and sister. A bit like the other Kim (Delaney), American movies seems to be less conventional, boring and hollow with its B movie than with the Hollywood list and blockbusters... Instead of having Schwary killing tons of opponents, you have a neat SciFi theme told about a family: For those who like conspiracy, identity research, new experiments and a true romance, this thriller is really a good pick!

So I got up this morning to get my little sister up and ready for school, I was just browsing through channels and stumbled upon this movie Duplicates. I thought from the beginning it was a low budget crappy film and was about to flip the channel, but something just hooked me and this movie kept me interested. Next time I looked at the clock it was almost an hour and a half later. So lets just say some low budgets are better then big budget films. Haha, I'm going to order this movie on ebay now! =) P.S. And it was pretty cool this was filmed right here where I live, according to the credits! This movie will next appear this Tuesday at 6 am on HBO, I suggest everyone check it out, even though it's a lot earlier then I like to get up!

This film runs along the lines of A.I., and scientific experiments on Family and emotion. Greg Harrison and Beth Harper are involved in a devious plot to wipe away memory from all Human existence.Cicely Tyson and Kevin McCarthy are authority figures who try to use them as experimental "guinea Pigs" for research.The most interesting scene is when they return to a restaurant.Harrison is now suspicious of what goes on, when a waitress remembers them from a previous encounter.He tries to steal the disks and set their lives back in order. This movie shows that a person is not a machine; Man is more than skin, and "feeling" and "love" go way deeper.

I love movies from the 90s. They were generally well written and interesting. I love this genre of movies. Gregory Harrison always plays great roles. Without giving away the plot the story is believable and well written. I watched it when it was first aired on TV in 1993. Recently (2018), I tried to recall the name of the movie and it took me many searches before I was able to finally find it. It was so enjoyable to rewatch it after 25 years. It was on YouTube so I'm going to watch it again. A must see!
