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
为了张雪峰而来，基本就是全片仅有的看点了。节奏稀碎毫无逻辑乱七八糟莫名其妙，小毛贼居然偷得了卢浮宫，开车去郊区突然就上热气球了，都什么鬼。二狗打架那段比较有意思
中规中矩，前半段好过后半段，前面很黑色幽默颇惊喜，后面多了一个角色后节奏开始有点突兀，一直到结尾都没有找回前面的感觉，割裂感较重，有点可惜
前面和劫匪闲聊打屁，轻松荒诞，感觉还不如搞一个合家欢的喜剧结尾，现在搞得有些不伦不类的。
幻想给日常生活增添了浪漫，当身边的静物有了对话的灵气，即使一个人也不会孤单。设定很有意思，但以真人形式展开的故事比较拉胯，立不起来。
幻想能治愈孤独 制造浪漫 能和家具老车狗子对话实在是很浪漫的事情 最喜欢狗子 打架的时候笑死我了
电影挺好，适合解压一看。
又是几个人的电影，叙事能力还是有的，故事一直平铺直叙了，没有反转太平淡了
能够和身边的东西说话，这个充满童心的设定让电影在搞笑之外有点温暖，一个人在屋子里也不会独孤
哈，脸盲如我，原来主角不是马特达蒙？ 星期五晚的轻松戏剧，看个乐呵，剧本不咋老练，你要把致敬希区柯克做得那么明显就等于给自己制造了一个更高的障碍，Netflix的戏好多都是这种拉几个热门概念放进一个剧里面，差点就直接让人工智能去写剧本了。
Lily，tu as besoin de rester en paris
幻想画面与现实的衔接可以，尤其与狗友的抽烟聊天结束的画面。
这个质量实在是不能作为院线，但是那个狗子还是挺好玩的。
拍摄成本低到不可思议，五分，橘子林加一分。
男主被雷劈，林狗真演了只狗hhh，和静物对话这种脑洞大开的漫改剧情看似荒诞，却也有温情和正能量。全东北演员班底还真挺有包袱，笑果满分！本东北人给打call～
the nature of the flower is to bloom
电影看完了，没看过原作不做点评，就电影这个故事走向，真的奇幻，奇幻得不得了，不是仅仅一个“奇幻”能形容的……
三个角色人物刻画实在太浅太直白了，jason segel的角色不如找个黑人来演，这样金字塔顶端的白男，依附但又被束缚的女人，和踩在脚下的黑人，再加上生性乐观勤劳勇敢的墨西哥人，齐活儿了。
看了这个电影，把我整不会了，我开始思考拍电影的意义了。就比如这个电影，拍出来的意义是什么呢？
这年头编剧的脑洞我都要跟不上了，这是雷劈后要上头的节奏呀
如果最后的反转给一些“惊喜”…而不是落了“俗套”。换个女演员也许更好一些….
