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
The far you will go, the prouder I will be. 中式关系，青春期，儒家的规训，be women，欲望和羞耻，友谊，与自我的相处，make room for it .可爱的比喻，迪士尼新的探索。
如果13岁的我能看到这部电影，也许会暴风哭泣吧？成长的不安和压抑、庞大到让人无处可逃的原生家庭、必须奉命扼杀的爱的萌芽、剥离母体的疼痛、在身体的变化面前手足无措、为了满足所有人不惜牺牲最闪亮的自己……那个渺小卑怯的我、那片一旦逃离就不愿回望的黑暗世界、那段被封印在身体里的蜕变之旅，将在日后时时点醒我：红色小熊猫没什么可怕的，关键是，你终于接纳了你自己。
不知道该不该说，会觉得上海话稍微缺了点什么？也不是说不对，就可能某些词会有当地话的讲法（虽然脑子里只有“落惠”这种词出现）
小熊猫太茸茸了！三星半，不论是不是东亚父母，是个人不会反省都不会有改变。能改变就改变，改不了就逃离吧。
导演石之予出生在重庆，2岁移民加拿大，硬要表现不熟悉的粤语家庭背景，还把道士翻译成英文的萨满，对中华文化的理解也就只有左宗棠鸡的水平了，真是枉为华裔。
把反叛当成政治最正确，这对东方人的刻板印象也太刻板了吧
“完美”如同代代相传的魔咒，禁锢着多少女性热烈的生命。
意识形态有点过，如果要用华人和特殊动物元素不必放那么多枫叶旗帜强调移民身份和文化洗劫
“你走得越远，我越是骄傲。” 看到这里真的眼眶一热。
东亚文化语境的故事讲述了最普世的情感共情，但有关青春与成长的内核只是中国版的《勇敢传说》和加长版的《包宝宝》。在当今的好莱坞，女性少数族裔的主创团队在出发点就领先了一个身位，何况小熊猫比熊要可爱的多了。
我个人很不喜欢，父权家庭对女孩子的规训在这里被美化成了母亲的过度爱护，观影过程中满脑子都是excuse me？还不如前几年印度的超级巨星，起码支持女儿梦想的是妈妈
93/100。让观众清晰地看到了两种主体矛盾：一是女主人公自身青春期的叛逆与从小到大被灌输着的那种追求完美主义的思想，每一次的变形都像是一次对于初心的狠狠撕裂，可却又不能彻底将之抛之不顾；另一是东方文化中的一切安好与西方文化中该闯就闯的碰撞，从母亲为了自己的爱情背弃外祖母再到女儿为了自己小小的追星梦给母亲撒下一个个不在预设范围内的谎，一代代传下的冲突却更多的是不同思想面对面后的必然结果。而最后电影也很成功地将矛盾在女主人公身上抚平：她既选择做那个家中可以到处宣扬的乖乖女，也要偶尔为了自己疯狂一把，得到了所有人的理解。但你看不到的却是，这看似简单的选择却是所有像母亲这样女性经历了无数次挣扎后才能得到的稳衡，把所有的掌声献给为了平衡这一切而默默付出的女人们，在她们的肩头上，世界终以豁然开朗。
+0.5 red is period or…red just period?! 前面多好后面多烂，天马行空好坏参半。perfect主题放在现在其实又土又没共鸣，但是对子供意义很大，欢迎中国小孩按头观看。隐喻太多了，自信的女生永远最酷。以及我相信这部电影只有女生能完全读透
亚裔女孩成长记，青春期的细节和隐喻都恰到好处，既有欢乐又有眼泪，比《李焕英》更有感动。
宗祠特地强调不是男的，是女人，还是动物保护着。。。
也想抱着合影😎🤩为什么不在电影院上！！小女生的友共情部分刻画得很棒，最喜欢一开头情不自禁发春的部分太可爱了😆
最后是爱豆带着粉丝拯救了generational trauma 这说明什么 还是要倡导追星自由（我觉醒得太晚了

很舒服，从头到脚每个细节都很舒服，上海话很舒服，每个人演技很舒服，情节推进和最后结尾也很舒服。想了想这部电影让我如此轻松舒服的原因，无非是把现实生活做了一比一还原罢了。这个编剧和导演是有生活的人，希望以后还能有更多这种作品诞生让我花钱。
