(And for those who can't read the words on the images)

The real Brahms:

Margaret Heelshire sat in the headmaster’s office at her son’s school. She was furious to hear that her perfect little Brahms was to be expelled from school for tormenting the other children and threatening teachers. She dragged Brahms through the halls tightening her grip as he tried to get away. At the car he calmly looked up at her , “They deserved it. They weren’t behaving.” “We don’t hurt others.” Margaret raised her hand and Brahms pulled furiously away as it flew back toward him.

Newspaper clipping:

At least one has been confirmed dead in the fire at the Heelshire mansion. A distraught Margaret Heelshire was pulled from the flames and firefighters continued to search for her 8-year-old son, Brahms. The Heelshire boy is believed to be dead, but remains are yet to be found. No other details have been released at this time.

After the fire:

Days after the fire a large crate arrived at the door. Inside was a porcelain doll, in the likeness of her precious boy Brahms. Margaret looked at it and felt that familiar tightness. Fear. She gingerly lifted the doll’s limp body out of the crate and sat back with him in her lap. She coaxed his head up onto her shoulder, the porcelain from the doll’s face was cool against hers.

Greta:

They had tried to hire nannies in the past to care for Brahms. The Brahms that came after the fire. Half a dozen at least had come and gone. Some didn’t take it seriously, others were frightened and left claiming there was something off about the house, about him. It didn’t matter. None were acceptable to Brahms. Greta was the first, and he chose her.

The rules:

If Greta was to be safe she needed to understand what taking care of Brahms meant. What it required. Mr. and Mrs. Heelshire sat and carefully crafted a list for her. No Guests. Play Music Loud. Read A Bedtime Story. Never Leave Brahms Alone. There was much more to keeping safe in this house, but she would find that out soon.

The real story:

The Boy is a frightening thrill ride directed by William Brent Bell (The Devil Inside) starring Lauren Cohan (“The Walking Dead”).

Hell yeah!

This ended up longer than expected lol.

Warnings - some not sfw / suggestive elements, Brahms being a creep, hint of choking

Whew boy, that's a doozy! Script Brahms is more of a classical Slasher than movie Brahms. In a lot of ways, he'd have been so much scarier than what we got, but not as sympathetic or imo attractive.

Lets start with looks. Script Brahms or SB is fucking HUGE. not just tall, but massive all over. And none of that 'improvise, overcome, adapt' of Movie Brahms or MB, SB comes fucking STRAPPED!

just like in the original filming of the movie, there's no mask or burn scars also, he has rotten yellow teeth... 🤮

He didn't kick in the mirror and stab Cole with a doll shard after punching him a few times, he STABBED THROUGH THE WALL WITH A KNIFE INTO COLE"S NECK!

and Cole didn't have a quick death, he was still alive on the floor, choking on his blood and SB stabs him through the chest to finish him off.

He's also not afraid to go outside, in fact he goes outside earlier in the script to put half dead rats in Malcolm's truck (after Malcolm and Gerti (proto Greta) fuck, yes they fuck in the script), he locks the front door and kitchen door to keep Gerti and Malcolm in the house before showing himself.

He even slashes Malcolm's tires when Gerti has second thoughts of leaving Malcolm behind. This Boy is not afraid of the outside, at least not around the house. (MB is debatable we never get any solid confirmation if he goes outside or not)

At one point MB grabs Greta in a hug/choke hold to idk subdue her or try and drag her off, it's hard to tell...

Wanna see what SB does to Gerti?

MB looks almost sweet by comparison huh?

SB is also way more vocal. Several times in the script we hear him scream out in rage. He also talks to and taunts Gerti.

SB's perversion is also waaayy more than MB. we still have the Gerti (Greta) doll, but how SB's room is set up tells of a much darker and disturbed individual.

I am so..so...SO GLAD, they went with Music sheets covering the walls over coloring book pages mixed with freaking PORN! *gags* It would have really pushed that 'mind of a child' more than the manipulation we got in the movie. and trust me, the creepy baby voice and 'playfulness' we got in the movie was more than enough.

In the script, it's mentioned that SB loves his music but that's it for any musical references. no violin on his wall or in his old room, no music sheets covering the walls.

instead, during the dinner scene with Gerti and the Heelshires, the parents tell Gerti (who's from Texas) that Brahms likes her accent, and asks if she's ever met Indians before. SB seems to be more into American Western culture than Music.

SB is also more like a traditional slasher because good god, he does not go down easy.

that's 6 stabs! (the first stab was when he was in the bed)

but wait, there's more!

we get the surprise revival/final showdown like a typical slasher movie. only when Gerti fucking RAMS HIM THROUGH THE HOUSE WITH MALCOLM"S TRUCK do we get a death. and even then, Gerti DOUBLE TAPS THAT SHIT!

SB is a freaking BEAST!

but I prefer the softer (but still edgy), sweeter (but still pervy), musically talented Movie Brahms.

Check out my "script brahms" tag for other people's posts on the script vs movie on my blog if you wanna know more, but I pretty much covered it.

So, I read the original script of "the Boy" and got to the part that described his room.

I was curious if I could see if he had a shower or a toilet in that scene from the movie. I didn't see any signs of a toilet, so my headcannon still stands that he uses one when greta is out of the house or dead asleep. And nothing that looked like a shower, but i did see he might have access to water via a tap or sink. it's uncertain if they are attached to running water or not. I would assume yes? so, maybe my headcannon of him wanting to be clean, but can't because Greta is there, doesn't hold water. lol

I was also looking for porn on his walls, but everything is so blurry and quick i can't make out much of what anything is. but i did notice this.

As Greta is reading the letter, the camera pans behind her and we get a glimpse of a wall with stuff on it.

and i'm like, wtf is that? is that porn? then it hits me like a truck! It's an excerpt from the painting "The garden of earthly delights" by Hieronymus Bosch, specifically the panel of Hell.
