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
感觉更像是一种美好的期待，但是剧内人物的选择有点迷，也许还是世界观的不同吧
承认主要看脸，故事线发展到一半，我都觉得凌乱…
设定有点意思，Karen Gillan的冷面喜剧笑果还是很强的！
一个抽到ssr的女孩，看完只想说y4太美了，笑也美哭也美，y4太美了。
如果有咩酱这样可爱的女儿，那确实是一件幸福的事。另外对片子里的煽情戏码没啥感觉。
故事整體溫馨且感人，這部影片的色調也非常舒服。是非常不錯的作品，但劇情還是有些許缺乏。PS：永野芽鬱真的好美啊！(>﹏<)
Sarah在收到绝症诊断后，决定用克隆技术复制自己，以减轻她的离世对朋友和家人造成的痛苦；可她却奇迹般地康复了。然而，此时她申请销毁自己的克隆复制品的尝试却失败了，法院授权判罚：本体和克隆体必须进行决斗，两人只能活下来一个。
有几波反转，前半部分满脸问号，后半部慢慢揭开，这婚结的真草率
前半段剪辑和中间揭示三人关系那段还是挺有意思的，后半部分节奏偏慢，而且不懂结尾突然开始大肆点题爱的接力棒，突兀而且感觉膈应。十元演的妈妈在里面碰到的男人真的都太好了，现实真的能有这样好的人吗？最后，冈田建史演技实在太烂了…全剧演技垫底，完全接不住咩酱的戏Jesus
剧情乱乱的 但是我好喜欢女主和她爸爸妈妈的相处方式 好舒服^ ^我本人向往的亲子关系
不过中间确实有的剧情让人觉得太理想了，找的两个后爸人也太好了，但凡有一个心眼坏点或者自私的，优子的人生就没这么顺利了，尤其我觉得后妈找新爸爸的标准有点草率。
这是哪门子接力棒啊，就算最后给了个非常突兀也很俗套的解释我也感觉不到啥爱意，就是美女和她的接盘侠们，而且还是各位都家底雄厚才能这么瞎折腾，要不是永野芽郁谁看这片子啊。
小粉又见面了。结局非常玩味，但结合此前铺垫，仍只有一种导向，不存在开放式处理。凯伦·吉兰不苟言笑的钝感表演非常契合故事风格。莱利·斯特恩斯是值得关注的一名新锐导演，上一部《自卫艺术》就给我留下深刻印象，反套路+反高潮+冷幽默，模糊整体放大局部的剧作，就是新时代的黑色电影风向。
看过结局，不禁想起《武林外传》吕秀才那句“是谁杀了我，而我又杀了谁！”莎拉明明为了家人才选择克隆，可母亲和丈夫却希望克隆品代替她，顿感这个世界的荒唐。当人的社会属性被强制剥脱，你不再是孩子/母亲/老婆/朋友，你还会是谁？
好哭又好笑啊🆘 看着大家疯狂煽情真的是太好笑了 田中圭怎么看都不像是咩的爸爸啊哈哈哈哈哈哈 而且大家十几年都一点没变老 真的是神了
觉得继母挺自私的，虽然给了女主无私的爱，但是这是建立在她自己想成为一个母亲的心理上，让女主与亲生父亲互相误会对方不要自己了。幸运的是继母所嫁的人都是真心对待女主的，女主也在这种环境下健康快乐长大……
我竟然看哭了并突然get到十元的演技。咩酱真的是可可爱爱，戏里戏外的。
挺好！好温馨，好感动！
本来想给三四星的但是看了一些短评还是打算给五星，还是那句话不要在作品里找三观，影视作品也好小说作品也好不是给一些道德高地选手找优越感用的，是作者阐述表达含义和传递价值内容的渠道，可以就从喜欢或者不喜欢来评价但是从道德三观我真的是大无语了。故事塑造的妈妈就是一个很特别的人啊，本身就不会是你身边的三姑六婆，不要把自不自私奉不奉献的世俗套到文学作品人物身上去，显得很狭隘好吗？男性角色也好，善人说成大冤种，负责任说成老实人，人生词汇就这么单一到看不起任何故事角色的单纯设定？多线叙事加上人物众多确实有一些些表述不足，结局台词我也有点不喜欢，但感觉是制片方决定要搞“点题”手段，加上传递传承的中心，强行尬了一下。就从故事表现上虽然是能猜的到的剧情，但依旧表现不错，打个四星，多一星是被道德小标兵们逆反的。
剧情普普，穿搭妆造布景和画面满分。好喜欢彩色。
