"Twin Stranger" tells the story of a boy who just started college, encounters a series of coincidences and misunderstandings, and with the help of local media, finds his long-lost brother.
However, behind this touching story of brotherhood, the boys and their adoptive families discover darker secrets...
With its true-to-life, bizarre and dark story, the film keeps audiences on the map.
It has a 95% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has been affirmed and praised by critics.
"Twin Stranger" premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival and won the Best Narrative Award in the American Documentary category.
Bobby , 19 years old.
He is a freshman at a community college.
As soon as he entered the school gate, many students came to greet him, pat him on the back, and high-five him.
What's more exciting is that some girls will come over and kiss him.
This is too enthusiastic, right? Not normal at all, and a little weird. This made him very confused.
Until someone said to him, "I'm glad you're back, Eddie." "How are you, Eddie?"
Only then did Bobby realize what was wrong. It turned out that they thought he was Eddie !
He quickly explained that he was not Eddie, but Bobby, a freshman at the school. Others thought it was a prank.
At this time, Eddie's friend Michael also saw Bobby and was instantly frightened.
Eddie didn't come to school at all today, so who is this person? Why does he look so much like Eddie?
Michael found that Bobby and Eddie had the same smile, the same expression, the same hair, and they were carved out of the same mold.
Michael asked Bobby's information, "adopted", "birthday July 12" , exactly the same as Eddie.
So, Michael excitedly took Bobby to Eddie, and he firmly believed that Bobby and Eddie were twins.
After further verification, it is indeed true!
Bobby and Eddie are brothers and they have been separated for 19 years .
Twins separated for 19 years meet each other because they attended the same university...
This bizarre experience was reported by The New York Times and became news on the streets.
Many were unbelievable about the twins' experience and moved by their reunion.
Not the most bizarre, only more bizarre!
This story of the twins meeting was seen by another boy , David .
After seeing the news, he was surprised to find that he was so similar to the two people in the photo.
Same look, same birthday, same big fat hands, same adoption agency...
These coincidences led him to believe that he and the twins in the news were brothers.
So, he and his family took the initiative to contact the media and explained the situation during the adoption to the media.
After much investigation and verification, David's guess was completely correct.
David, Bobby, and Eddie are real brothers.
From the incredible reunion of twins to the incredible reunion of triplets, such a once-in-a-century rarity just happened.
In order to grab this news hotspot, local news media went to interview them one after another.
Even authoritative media such as "The New Yorker", "The New York Times", "People Magazine" and "Time Magazine" are competing to report it.
The local media also invited them to participate in a reality show, telling stories about the triplets recognizing each other and the magical understanding in life.
For a time, they became a popular fried chicken in New York, occupying the headlines of various media.
All over the United States, they are popular figures that no one knows, no one knows.
Although they haven't seen each other for 19 years, the behavior and life of the three brothers are surprisingly similar, and they are no different from clones.
They have the same personality, the same hobbies, and the same movement habits.
They both like to eat Chinese food, smoke one brand of cigarettes, and like the same color.
Even the selection of women has the same taste - mature women.
The media also revealed that each of them has an adopted sister, and they are all 21 years old.
After the happy reunion and moved tears, there are still questions and puzzles left for everyone.
The adoption agency is obliged to tell the adopting family about the child's background. Why didn't the adoption agency inform it?
Nineteen years ago, David, Bobby, and Eddie were all adopted from the Lewis Wise Adoption Agency.
Lewis Wise Adoption Agency is a very prominent adoption agency, which is invested and managed by the elite of New York social, financial and political circles, and is very powerful in the local area. Many local Jewish families go here to adopt Jewish babies.
At first, when the three families adopted, the adoption agency did not disclose any key information to them.
It was not until 19 years later that the three families knew that the children were triplets!
As a result, the three families were outraged by the adoption agency's concealment.
The three families contacted the adoption agency and hoped that they would give a reasonable explanation.
"Why? How could you not tell us? What did you do? Why did you do it?"
The explanation of the adoption agency is: because it is difficult to place triplets, it is difficult to place three children in the same family, so in order to maximize the benefits, they choose to divide the triplets for adoption.
This answer did not meet the requirements of the three families at all.
They insist that the adoption agency's approach is completely arbitrary, or that it is hiding some ulterior secrecy.
So the three families sought the help of lawyers, intending to solve the problem by suing the adoption agency.
However, the lawyers did not take the case.
Only later did I learn that because some of the lawyer's colleagues adopted children there, in order not to offend the adoption agency, they did not accept the case.
In the end, the lawsuit was aborted and left unresolved.
Being young and ignorant, the three boys did not understand why their parents were angry with the adoption agency.
They don't care, they keep having fun, they keep squandering, they keep surfing.
Hormones are bursting, they go to nightclubs together, go to various bars together, and drink him to death.
Drugs, sex, rock music, etc., all kinds of hi, crazy fun in New York.
The local paparazzi did not let this traffic go, and kept track of and reported on the lives of the three brothers.
Their lives are completely under the spotlight, and they become stars.
Their fame has soared, and they have also received invitations to make guest appearances in movies.
They even did the movie "Mystery Date" with Madonna .
Taking advantage of the influence of KOL celebrities and a lot of traffic and popularity, the three business-minded brothers took the opportunity to open a restaurant.
The restaurant's name is "Triples".
Local fans flocked to see the legendary triplets firsthand.
Just like the era when traffic is realized now, it can also be realized in the 1980s.
As long as you make money, you can do anything.
The catering industry, T-shirts, baseball caps and other derivatives are all online.
With their high popularity and business acumen, the three brothers earn $1 million a year!
There will always be shadows behind the sun, and the beauty of fairy tales cannot cover up the ugly reality.
Things start to get progressively more bizarre and dark:
American author Lawrence Wright stumbled across an article on child psychoanalysis.
The article cites a secret study of "separating identical siblings" from the Lewis Wise adoption agency.
The article pointed out: "Once the placement is completed, for ethical reasons, the agency can neither inform the adoptive parents nor the children about the existence of twins, so as not to damage the parent-child relationship that is necessary for the growth of the children and is expected to develop freely. Therefore, a There is a very unusual opportunity to study separate parenting of identical twins. This is the first time, and the real first in human knowledge."
After investigation, this unethical secret experiment began in the 50s and 60s.
It was planned and led by the famous American psychiatrist Peter Neubauer and his Child Development Center.
Peter Neubauer was one of the great men of American psychiatry, director of the Freud Archives. His background was very Freudian, and Freud's daughter visited him frequently.
Psychology in the 1950s and 1960s was in a crazy period, and psychology gradually became a mainstream discipline.
Many scholars conduct psychological research and want to take this opportunity to become famous and become the so-called "first" and "first".
For example, the controversial Milgram obedience experiment, the Stanford prison experiment, are so crazy and terrifying.
Therefore, some psychologists violate the scientific ethics and moral bottom line for the sake of fame and fortune.
Peter Neubauer's secret experiment aims to answer the "genes versus nurture" debate.
To this end, many twins and triplets are adopted by different families, and special researchers will conduct psychological tests and secret observations.
The lives of David, Bobby, and Eddie were orchestrated by this experiment.
The researchers deliberately chose 3 different families to adopt the 3 children, and each family also had an adopted girl.
Bobby was adopted by a wealthy family, his father was a doctor and his mother was a lawyer.
Eddie was adopted by a middle-class family and his father was a college-educated teacher.
David, adopted by an immigrant family, has a blue-collar father who owns his own small shop.
They were tested and recorded like guinea pigs in the laboratory, and everything was under the control of this experiment.
From childhood, researchers conduct regular psychological tests on children through so-called home visits.
During each home visit, they will also film some clips of the children's life and play, which will be used as video materials for research.
These psychological tests are all covered up by means of deception. The researchers deceived parents. This is a normal investigation and is not harmful to children.
What is even more terrifying is that, in addition to carefully planning the acquired family environment, the biological parents of these children have a history of mental illness, and these circumstances were not informed of the adoptive family.
In this experiment, many children have more or less psychological problems: they have been in a mental hospital, seen a psychiatrist, suffered from depression...
This can't help but make people wonder whether this experiment has the purpose of " mental genetic inheritance "
The most surprising thing is that it took a lot of manpower and material resources to hide the secret experiment for more than ten years, and finally no results were published.
When asked about the secret experiment, Peter Neubauer has been circumventing, refusing to talk about anything, as if to protect some ulterior secrecy.
For now, all we know is that the experiment was supported by private charities, Washington.
In 1979, the clandestine experiment was declared over, and the reason for the termination is unknown.
Subsequently, Peter Neubauer deposited all relevant research archives from 1960 to 1980 in the Yale University Archives, which would not be decrypted until 2066.
So, to know the truth about this secret experiment, we will have to wait until 2066.
In fact, in the field of science, the study of identical twins has already begun more than 150 years ago.
In 1875, British anthropologist Francis Galton became the first person to study twins. He claimed: "Genetics are more important than nurture." During World War II, the Nazis also conducted horrific live twin experiments in Jewish concentration camps. .
This secret experiment by Peter Neubauer, under the guise of science, used premeditated intervention to destroy the lives that many twins and multiples should have had.
If David, Bobby, and Eddie hadn't been separated and studied, would their lives have been different?
There is no doubt that, no matter how shocking the results of the experiment, it was unethical, anti-human, inhuman, and cold-blooded.
We can't help but ask this group of people under the guise of "science", do you have the least respect for human beings? Is there a minimum respect for life?
In this regard, we should firmly believe that it is wrong to play with human beings after all! It is unforgivable after all! Scientific research is no exception!
