Parents need to know that Brahms: The Boy II is the sequel to the 2016 horror movie The Boy, about a creepy doll. Violence is the biggest concern and includes a woman being attacked and hit in the head by unseen male intruders (a child sees the whole thing).
Do you need to watch the boy before watching the boy 2?
The entire film seems haunted by the original. Viewers who enjoyed the original one enough to watch the sequel will probably be disappointed. And viewing the sequel on its own won't do the film many favors, either.
However, the spirit of the doll inhabits Jude as he dons the real Brahms' mask. The real Brahms isn't shown in the film, heavily implying that he died from his injuries in the first film, as Joesph, the mansion's groundskeeper, revealed that he rebuilt the Brahms doll.
After which, he started a fire so as to fake his death and avoid punishment, which resulted in his face becoming horribly burned and scarred. To protect their son, the Heelshires hid Brahms away in the walls of their mansion and had him declared dead, so that no one could find him.
It appears that The Boy is another horror movie about an evil doll. However, in a twist, Brahms is still alive and hiding in the house's walls, pretending that the doll is possessed to remain hidden and safe. The twist makes the story scarier and makes Brahms a frightening villain.
In August 2022, Bell stated that he has plans for a third installment. The filmmaker stated that his intentions are to round out the character of Brahms, with the completion of a trilogy.
Johannes Brahms died of pancreatic cancer some 120 years ago. It is only a few days since the Hungarian author Peter Esterhazy has died (14 July of 2016) in Budapest at the age of 66. It was the same disease.
The Boy II turns Brahms into a demon who wants to be human, which is a much more supernatural angle than the first movie, but it's a less original take on the character.
His parents left Brahms with a "nanny" as a parting gift so that they could kill themselves while making sure he was cared for. He occupied himself by stalking his nanny Greta, moving the doll (that was supposed to portray him as a child) around the house.
As it turns out, Brahms is actually a grown man living in the walls of his parents' British estate. The Heelshires had been hiding him away for two decades, since he murdered a young girl, and they brought Greta over from America as a parting gift of sorts.
The final act of the film involves the Brahms doll being destroyed and a much more demonic and rotten version of Brahms lying beneath the pristine porcelain demeanor. This releases the evil spirit, but the family still manages to defeat it.
Greta doesn't want to leave him, but he runs at Brahms to hold him off. Brahms is huge and overpowers Malcolm. He smashes his fist in Malcolm's head, and Malcolm is knocked out. Brahms heads towards Greta, telling her in a small child voice for her to stay.
Somehow “Brahms: The Boy II” manages to at least look better than its predecessor. Everything else works as needlessly as the lengthy title. It is indeed a sequel of sorts to 2016's bizarre and wacky “The Boy,” where a porcelain doll in a suit tormented its babysitter.
Essentially, you discover at the end that the doll Brahms was never 'alive' to begin with – nothing supernatural was occurring. Instead, it turns out that a 30-year-old man has been living in the walls moving the doll around to make it seem like it's haunted.
9. Brahms writing to Clara Schumann. The composer Johannes Brahms was in love with Clara Schumann – but unfortunately she was married to the composer Robert Schumann, one of Brahms' best friends. Historians disagree over whether the pair ever acted on their feelings – but this quotation is pretty unequivocal…
Greta Evans (Lauren Cohan), a 20-something American, arrives at the home of the elderly Mr and Mrs Heelshire (Jim Norton, Diana Hardcastle) to be the live-in nanny for their young boy.
Johannes Brahms did not have any children and he never married. It is possible that he and Clara Schumann shared some romantic feelings; they were certainly very close.
Greta eventually learns the real Brahms never died and is now an adult wearing a porcelain mask who lives inside the mansion walls. His parents intended Greta to be a companion for their evil son, but in the end, she seemingly kills him and the doll is smashed.
Parents need to know that The Boy is a "creepy doll" horror film. It's not entirely original, but it is well-made, and it could catch on with teen horror-hounds. While not overly gory, characters do die (both by stabbing and via suicide), words are written in blood on a wall, and there are scary sounds and…
While completing the Op. 121 songs, Brahms developed cancer (sources differ on whether this was of the liver or pancreas). His condition gradually worsened and he died on 3 April 1897, aged 63. Brahms is buried in the Zentralfriedhof in Vienna.
Brahmā lives one hundred of such "years" and then dies. These "hundred years" total 311 trillion 40 billion (311,040,000,000,000) earth years. Brahma's lifespan is 311.04 trillion solar years, and we are in the 28th Kali Yuga of the 51st year of the current Brahma's life.
Answer and Explanation: Brahms destroyed not just a lot of his early works, but many of his works throughout his career, because he was a perfectionist. He was unwilling to let works be if he felt that they were not good enough, so he destroyed them when he was not happy with them.
