Cốt truyện

Twins is a 1988 American comedy film directed by Ivan Reitman and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito, and Kelly Lynch. The movie follows the story of Julius Benedict (Schwarzenegger) and Vincent Benedict (DeVito), two identical twins who were separated at birth as part of an experiment to create the perfect child. Julius was the result of a deliberate attempt by his scientist parents, Nancy and Jack Benedict, to create the perfect specimen. They used advanced technology to ensure that Julius would grow up strong, intelligent, and athletic. Vincent, on the other hand, was the result of a mistake - an accidental pregnancy that resulted in a smaller, less impressive version of Julius. As the two brothers meet for the first time, they are shocked to discover their identical appearance, despite being raised by different families. Julius is a successful businessman who has it all: wealth, fame, and a beautiful girlfriend named Muriel (Lynch). Vincent, on the other hand, is a small-time con artist who lives in poverty. As the brothers try to navigate their new relationship, they find themselves at odds with each other. Julius sees Vincent as a disappointment and an embarrassment, while Vincent resents Julius's good fortune and success. However, as they spend more time together, they begin to learn from each other and develop a bond. The movie explores themes of identity, family, and the nature vs. nurture debate. The contrast between the two brothers serves as a commentary on the societal expectations placed upon individuals, particularly in regards to physical appearance and social status. Through their interactions and misadventures, Julius and Vincent come to realize that there is more to life than just external appearances. Throughout the film, Schwarzenegger and DeVito deliver strong comedic performances, playing off each other's strengths and weaknesses. The movie's humor is rooted in the absurdity of the situation, as well as the physical comedy provided by the two leads. In the end, Twins is a heartwarming and hilarious tale about the power of family and the importance of looking beyond surface-level appearances.
