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
“你会感觉在火烧岛的每一天都非常的长”
感觉回到之前看美剧寻的感觉，很喜欢看这些与自己反差很大的角色，“热情”又有“生命力”是我所缺失的。
人类挑战极限真的太令人钦佩。还有那些为了人类探索而献身的狗狗们~
我不是很了解
国家利益？还是儿女情长？还是一个男人不愿回忆的过去？
这片在烂番茄都是高赞分数，豆瓣目前6.3评分明显过低了。各种基佬夸张的欢乐，也不乏温馨浪漫的小时光，编剧、导演、演员表演、音乐、摄影都很用心，亚裔同志当主角也是让人长脸的美事，不明白豆瓣这么多阴阳怪气的贬低？
颜一般，身材都很棒，Dex迷死我！这种当代叽叽喳喳姐妹happy的无脑同志电影太少了
啊will嗓音低沉谁不可以！！男主居然是编剧汗制片人。应该是第二次跟随镜头来到这个岛。恍惚中觉得自己能有一世有过这样的体验那该有多好啊。看看肉图一乐呵完事。
救命 will别扭的让我想起了某些时光（btw谁不想跟一群好姐妹度假开party呢（快放我去海滩散步
和看傲慢与偏见的时候一样 翻了好几个白眼 we don’t need a white guy to save us
是部有趣的电影。
剧情什么的不重要，但是看一群帅哥调情真的很解渴。
“我今年30岁，从没交过男朋友，也没谈过恋爱。”这还刻板印象啊。以及聚会不该喧闹吗，安静留给无人知晓的夜吧。
但Will和Noah不搭啊
在无法选择的凌晨两点，这个流畅的故事拖着我看完，所有的情节点虽然意料之中也很有戏剧剧情的节奏，但是依然想让人看下去。期待着一种美好的感情
？以为是《宿醉》或者是《仓皇一夜》，结果竟然是《傲慢与偏见》，同性恋玛丽苏我真是球球了！

我说为什么这么新潮的背景下故事架构有点老派，原来是改编的《傲慢与偏见》，可是主CP的化学反应不是太够，戏份也比较少，豪伊比诺亚的存在感都强，多加一颗星给这份大胆颠覆性旧戏新说的勇气。
It’s summer fairytales in Gay Disneyland. And I just loved watching it in this hot summer!
不是很客观的五星，实在是本人真的太喜欢看gay drama了。讨论gay community 中感情与肉体的归宿，以及gay小团体带给大家的力量，美好的假日男友 就如此沉浸吧
