This 1992 Japanese film tells the story of a scientist who sets out to create the new "super Adam and Eve", humans who cannot be controlled by their emotions. Of course, the end result it not exactly what the good doctor expects.
comments from imdb:
This modern tale of an attempt to build a creature is one of the best "horror" films ever made, even if its not a horror film but something else entirely. Certainly its on my short list of all time great films.
This film was introduced to me by someone who told me "I have this film that probably one of the best films you'll ever see. It will move you and touch you and make you think, but if I told you what it is and told you how its done you will think its the stupidest thing on the face of it and you won't watch it." Intrigued I asked what did he mean, and he said, "Well its a Frankenstein story, with a very goofy sort of edge, but which uses it to its advantage." My ears perked up, and I being a trusting soul took the tape and watched it. I was blown away.
The plot concerns a mad scientist attempting to make a new Adam and Eve in the wake of a suicidal plague that is ravaging the world. Locked up in his lab his experiments go differently then either he or we expect. Some of it is silly (The bolts in the neck, the wrestling moves...), all of it is touching and thought provoking.
I can not recommend this movie enough. If you are willing to take the film on its terms and allow it to tell its story then I urge you to seek this film out and see it. This is an undiscovered gem that will stay with you forever.
15 out of 10 and then some. 10/10
Also known as "The Last Frankenstein", this is an extraordinary, impeccably produced horror film. Director Takeshi Kawamura uses Mary Shelley's novel as a mere launching pad for an exploration of subjects as diverse and fascinating as the nature of love, desire, suicide, mass hypnosis, sex, alienation and jealousy.
And though the film is dense with subtext, it is also stunningly photographed and rich in atmosphere and detail. The performances are all amazing and Kawamura's sensitive handling of the strange, delicate relationships between the characters results in an emotionally charged, angst-ridden tragedy.
The scenes of the confused, troubled monster hurtling through a fog-shrouded forest at night are memorable and striking, as is a brilliant home movie-style montage of the film's more curious characters enjoying a precious afternoon at the beach. Kawamura creates resonating visual poetry of horror and sadness barely sighted since Todd Browning's classic "Freaks".
Intelligent, emotional, tragic and real, this is an absolute gem. 9/10
看的点映场。影片制作水准上乘，黑色幽默铺底、意外反转不断，惊喜之作！故事很精巧，在封闭空间内写故事本身就很难，为写原创故事的编剧龙也竖大拇指！范伟出色的表演为影片加分不少，想不到另外一个人来演会是什么样子。
并不沉重，但却不浅薄。
吴君如的头发很像假发啊
完成度还是不错的，但跳不出盖里奇和宁浩的模子，就难再往上说上点什么了，顶多就范伟的梗、饭桶外卖算是新特色。至于拐卖儿童，也太突兀了点吧，深刻不是这么搞的呀。
三星半。非线性结构的悬疑片。范伟演技没得说。窦骁算是个惊喜。
东拼西凑、乱七八糟的拧巴故事，很像《全民目击》那类伪悬疑垃圾，完全没有剥洋葱的快感。自以为是、自作聪明、自我感觉良好，结局当然是自食其果。
有一些情节上的小设计，包括摄影、灯光、布景等方面的想法，人物表演也都在线，不带太高期待去看的话，完成度还行。
和段老师一起看的第五部电影，在影院看的第二部，两个憨憨为自己的愚蠢付出了巨额的代价，以后再也不在影城里买吃的了！
男主演技很好
其实二儿子真的还蛮可怜的，出生的使命就是为了照顾哥哥，妈妈都不知道自己放学后去的是篮球队还是足球队。😭
观感极差。生搬硬套，人工痕迹太重，硬扣出来的环环相扣。看到一层又一层的剧情反转，几乎能够想象得出来编剧绞尽脑汁的样子。。
5.5/10。合格的商业悬疑片剧本吧，我在想这种本子怎么变得电影化，很难。在电脑上看可以给三星，大荧幕应该两星了。（窦骁好像谢霆锋啊）
ps14岁的阿伟演员神似荣梓杉..
“你残废是天生的，没有人会怪你，那些人只会怪我”
冲范伟老师看的。总体而言还是稍显牵强拼凑无聊了。
吴君如喊出了那句“同工同酬”。但最后好心人的帮助和耀眼的成功又隐藏了事情很多本身的原因。
本以为是泛泛的煽情片，看完竟然泪眼婆娑，想起一句话：奥运会是展示人类最强壮的身体，残奥会是展示人类最不屈的灵魂！
A large bamboo basket of stupid thieves.
想打及格分来着，想想还是打不到及格分，想做社会问题，做得欲言又止，想做任务矛盾，最后也没解决，还是老一套的“毕竟还是一家人嘛，有什么过不去的”，八方不靠的片子
