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
残障运动员太不容易了，付出的汗水是常人难以想象的。即使是奥运冠军，仍然为了生计发愁，电影中提出了“同工同酬”的呼吁，希望他们可以得到更多的关注和更大的支持、鼓励！
剧情大结构挺好的，但细节没认真打磨，小BUG不少，小偷睡着尤其不合情理。
人们说学院派，什么是学院派？这就是学院派的一种：酸不拉唧的故事，一本正经的表演，三观极正的逻辑。。。。。
尚可，特别是交易的真相出现的时候让我愣住了一下。
3.5。剧本杀式电影，随着范伟的角色进入，不知道其他人物都是做什么的，在剧情深入的过程中一点点得知。可以更high一点，但是目前也很不错，张颂文的存活是出于过审考虑的吧。窦骁糙一点的样子明显感觉更帅一点……
实际上只是巧合的堆砌以及编剧放料多少的问题而已。配乐还不错。
豆瓣现在评分是怎么回事？这片还不值四星？20211203
配音太不贴脸了，普通话配音总会让人出戏，不如直接用粤语配音更好。
男主演技很好
我儿子出生时候也得了溶血性黄疸，真是各种致残的病全占了，还好没有变成脑瘫，宁愿他做个正常人也不要做残奥会冠军啊。
整体处理的还可以，作为导演的处女作来说，非线性叙事加上一点暴风雪山庄，成色上跟《夜·店》差不多，一开始会觉得是彻头彻尾的黑色喜剧，甚至还像在看小品，不过这样的千层饼模式一步步剥开之后才会发现主题是多么的正能量，骇人听闻的拐卖儿童的背后是对人心的探讨，新导演总是有很多想要表达的想法与手法，不过在处理上还是显得稚嫩了些，不过音乐我很喜欢，摄影与画面也可以看出导演的摄影出身，除了手法上欠佳之外还有就是大篇幅的慢镜头看多了就有些审美疲劳，其次这样做感觉太浮夸了
3星半，有很多让人深刻的片段，是我们一直以来不曾关注到的。
觉得导演给出了电影时间的正确使用，每一重时间都有它的故事。
气氛渲染的特别好，最令人惊讶的是三个年龄段的苏桦伟只有最小的小朋友是真正残疾人士，其它两个都是演员！看片时一直以为少年时期的演员也是残疾人…演员找的真好，演得也真好！苏妈在替儿子告白后那段和儿子争吵的戏的台词写的甚好！“大家会怪她而不是天生残障的儿子”压力山大
“你残疾是天生的没有人会怪你，但是他们会怪妈妈”
整个故事太过为了玩结构而玩结构了，因此有些部分显得重复拖曳，假如稍微精简一点，说不定还真有点科恩兄弟感呢。然后黑色幽默方面还需加强一下，整部戏最好笑就开头扇范伟巴掌那部分了。
运动员不易，做残疾运动员更不易，做残疾运动员的妈妈更更不容易。我们除了对苏桦伟的事迹而感动，更应该感谢苏妈的伟大！
故事过于单薄。所以不断加码也撑不住。如果只是为了飚演技可以搞成话剧。拍成电影。这种镜头语言加上不断重复溯回来反转可不行啊。尤其是后面还上了点价值。又再搞成大团圆。黑色喜剧变成了合家欢更是。。
“谁都不当你是普通人，那你就做一个不普通的人”。
致敬苏桦伟，了不起！苏母很伟大，赞！教练不容易，辛苦了。下午陪孩子一起看了该片，特此记录。
