After threatening to turn him in, Bowden reveals that he is fascinated with the activities of the Nazis in WWII, and blackmails Dussander into entertaining him with gory tales of the death camps. He even orders a detailed replica uniform which he forces Dussander to wear. As he spends more time with the old man, the boy's grades suffer, he loses interest in his girlfriend, and he conceals his bad grades from his parents. In turn, the Nazi blackmails the young boy into studying to restore his grades, with threats to expose the boy's subterfuge and his dalliance with Nazism to his parents. Dussander even pretends to be Todd's grandfather in order to get him special permission to raise his grades. Talking about the war crimes affects both the old man and the young man, and Dussander seems to gain satisfaction from attempts to kill animals in Dussander's oven. Dussander even appears to take great pride in Todd's unbelievable turnaround, going from near dropout to straight A's in a matter of weeks. One night, Dussander tries to kill Archie (Koteas), a hobo who has seen him in the uniform and tried to blackmail him, but he has a heart attack and calls Todd, who finishes the job, cleans up, and calls an ambulance for Dussander. At the hospital, Dussander is recognized by a death camp survivor sharing his room, and is arrested, pending extradition to Israel. Todd graduates valedictorian and gives a speech on the theme of Icarus, with the thesis that "All great achievements arose from dissatisfaction. It is the desire to do better, to dig deeper, that propels civilization to greatness." In a montage, this is juxtaposed with Dussander's home being searched and the hobo's corpse being found in the basement. Todd is briefly questioned about his relationship with Dussander, but manages to convince the police that he knew nothing of the old man's true identity. At the hospital, Dussander hears a group of Neo-Nazis outside the hospital; realizing his identity has been hopelessly compromised, he commits suicide by giving himself an air embolism. Todd then proceeds to blackmail his school counselor, French (Scwhimmer), who met Dussander and later learned he was not his grandfather, threatening to accuse him of making inappropriate sexual advances towards him. ------------------------ DVD en España: SONY Pictures Home http://www.elcorteingles.es/cine/productos/producto/producto.asp?Cod_Referencia=25940901413 ------------------------ Todd Bowden (Brad Renfro) es un alumno fascinado por el mundo del nacionalsocialismo y el tema del Holocausto judío, que descubre que un vecino suyo, Arthur Denken (Ian McKellen), fue miembro de las SS y cometió crímenes de guerra con esta organización durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Todd chantajea a Arthur con desvelar su identidad y a cambio éste se ve obligado a contarle todas sus vivencias y recuerdos de aquella época oscura de su vida. Pronto se va creando un vínculo de dependencia entre ambos que les va corrompiendo y les hace sacar su parte más oscura y perversa. (Wikipedia) La película despertó polémica entre los sectores más conservadores por mostrar en algunos momentos aspectos homosexuales e incluso promiscuos (como la escena de las duchas), lo que además está marcado por el hecho de que su protagonista Ian McKellen es homosexual declarado, al igual que el director Bryan Singer.
