      The Devil's Double

      The solicitation order was passed from Saddam Hussein's palace to the frontline troops. The native Iraqi military officer, Latif Yahiai, was summoned to Saddam’s family, and he was asked to directly serve for the country’s supreme dictator. Calling him here is not to let him be a bodyguard, but to "transform" to become Saddam's eldest son Uday Hussein's stand-in. Uday Hussein is a notorious prince of darkness. He is vicious and cruel. He is passionate about luxury goods, sports cars, and...

      The world is a demon, and society is its incarnation

      The state is a disguised system of oppressing the people. Its purpose is to control the people's thoughts and make them obey the authority of the ruler and devote their lives to it. As a result, good people will be killed, and pure people will become dirty. Anyway, innocence is happening every day. Every day, many innocent people are hurt, insulted, and even taken their lives.
      Saddam's son Uday laughed like a terrible badass. When my dead father laughed, it was the ugly and evil ugliness...

      Behind the scenes production    The
        film is adapted from a real story, which comes from the real life of Latif Yahiai. In order to obtain first-hand information from outside of Yahiai's biography, several producers of the film conducted extensive and in-depth interviews with Yahiai. Later, the producer hired Michael Thomas, who had rich experience but not many works, to write the script for the film. Thomas contacted Yaxiai, and after also...

      The content of this movie is really not an exaggeration

      1. He didn't know much about Saddam's eldest son before, but he knew that he was arrogant and extravagant. When watching the movie, I was a little skeptical about the story told by the movie, isn't it a bit exaggerated?

      2. Later, Baidu deliberately took a look at Uday Saddam Hussein's personal story, as well as the personal account of his substitute Latif, and found that "The Devil's Substitute" is not too exaggerated. The degree of madness in the real Uday seems to be worse than in...

      The Beginning Of An Empire Falling.

      I think this is why Iraq is heading for extinction.
      If there is a father, there must be a son.
      Saddam didn't even have a bad education for his son.
      How can a country be managed well?
      Uday undoubtedly has a dual personality.
      He is actually an inferiority man.
      Knowing that I am not likable.
      You can only use money to show your sexual desires and capture people's hearts.
      But he saw that Latif had another side of himself.
      He loves and hates.
      The plot...

    Intertwined with money, power, and an overly gorgeous sense of decadence, Baghdad in 1987 jointly embarked on a highly tense exploration journey, deepening into a crazy place free from any legal and moral constraints, and all witnesses are Unscrupulous and intolerable acts of violence were recruited and summoned by Saddam Hussein. Iraqi Army Lieutenant Latif Yahya ( Dominic Cooper ) returned to the rear from the front and was soon...

    Evaluation action

    "The Devil's Double" has been well embodied and dealt with, but movies are movies after all, and the Hollywood model rules the minds of screenwriters. The screenwriter had to fabricate an inexplicable love and sex scene out of thin air to cater to the consumer market. Not only did this obvious failure have nothing to do with the film itself, but it was anticlimactic, without cause and effect, which greatly compromised the seriousness...

      Latif Yahia: A what?

      Uday Hussein: Chop a bit off.

      Latif Yahia: What?

      Uday Hussein: Not much. Just a teeny-weeny.

      Latif Yahia: Not much?

      Uday Hussein: My cock is well-known in Baghdad. The women, they talk.

      [pause]

      Uday Hussein: I'm just joking with you, you fuck!

    • Sarrab: Who's this?

      Uday Hussein: Latif? He's my brother. Nobody must know, but Saddam; he has three sons. You tell anybody this, I will have to cut your tongue out with a razor and feed it to the cat.

    • Sarrab: Poor Uday. Sometimes I think he wants to fuck himself to death.
