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
政治不正确下的政治正确。自己也跟女生在一起了所以很有感触，感谢这些发声。
喜欢年下但最后换人的男通讯录和喜欢高学历医生姐姐的女通讯录
方言小成本影片，虽然故事是老生常谈，但里面那股浓厚的生活化气息一度会让人觉得这根本不是电影，就是身边事。影片对父母与子女的观念冲突有表现却不至于深入，这是绝大多数家庭都会面临的一个问题，能够像影片结尾如此圆满的可能屈指可数，所以影片即使没有表现得那么狗血，结尾也会显得太突兀。当作一个轻松温馨的小品来欣赏，还是很让人惊艳的。
两个半小时的电影没有很无聊，反而拍的轻松有趣，HE加印度敢拍直接给4星
看点就是真实，又真实不过纪录片，但拍摄方式很纪录片。至于剧情，平平无奇，说不上好也说不上赖。比真正的纪录片《四个春天》差距明显。只能支持这种类型，拍自己的故事。6.2
各种折中手法，后面给了个HE ，或许是现实太艰难了。角色设定Crop和教师真的讽刺。
很多地方都看哭了，细水长流，先看了这部，确实很成熟了，但其实有点太电视剧了。
影片讲述了很多潮汕地区的风土人情，在祭祀风俗上的方方面面，其实是有起到宣传当地文化习俗的作用，潮汕地区给我们的印象也不再是之前那么死板。在这个充满人情味的地方，里面的人也在不断地适应迅速发展的社会，不会固步自封。
硕士有六七层楼那么高，晕机就打开窗吐了别臭到别人就好。这是父母辈的封闭/旧/善，在片中也暗表母亲开始接受对“外省”和“外面的世界”。
lgbt如果要和现有社会相对和谐共处的话，内部解决？
字幕组译成“永结同心” 蛮贴切的 一部拍得很好的 宣传同性领养的商业片 喜剧 歌舞 很有印度风情 本来以为情节要he地愉快下去 最后又来了个小插曲 更跌宕起伏了一点儿 影片最后的彩虹色街头大游行真是让人泪目 大陆什么时候才能有这一天呢（当然情节上 有很多问题没有处理 直接弱化掉了 形婚就是同性恋最好的选择了吗 他们和各自伴侣之间的矛盾 家人的接受 许多问题还保留着 但对于印度来说 这已经是一部很有意义的宣传电影了）
Happy Ending，皆大欢喜。虽然明知后面他们肯定会面临很多挑战（影片有点理想化了），但是仍然很感动。别人印度可以Pride游+Police护航，羡慕了。印度能拍出这样的电影也让人羡慕。
除了主演，普通百姓的鸡零狗碎都是那么鲜活，一地鸡毛般地接地气。
形婚的结局只能是用一个又一个的谎言来圆最初的谎言。最后那段pride游行有戳到泪点。
有一些地方还在练手感（譬如某些闪回），但在前作基础上，开头结尾都有模有样。这一次对潮汕当下时的写实，几乎到了原样复刻打副本。大家小楼，排队洗澡，三姑六婆，邻人嘴碎…由封建守旧的原乡潮汕，与搞钱神话的特区深圳，形成两代人无法消解与面对的亲情矛盾，都在老妈怒打儿子的一幕中爆发。“外省的”所代表的，只是传统父辈无法理解和主动接收的外面世界，是大城市与坐飞机。当年轻人操盘自媒体，他们还在笃信地方戏曲与拜神卜算，换言之，当年轻人自以为的“浪漫爱情”，撞上宗族神话的母巢大本营，总会产生一些需要时间来缓冲的波折空间。原因无它，大陆四十年走得太快太快，而传统宗族那一套根深蒂固了两千年（并且在大多数历史时间内被证明是有效的）。这部电影，就是一个尝试理想化的空间。

这部作品可能更加适合情人节档期，让真的平常的普通人，接接地气，看看成年人是怎么面对处理感情问题和家庭问题。影片也是没有俗套去弄一些狗血的挽留情节，感情至少都是细腻表达到位。我不是潮汕人，不了解潮汕人那些复杂的关系，但不妨碍这是部值得夸的作品。
印度电影都开始层次，深度了，内地呢？啥时候可以正式这个问题，能拍LGBT题材电影？姬和基形婚、领养、出柜，不争的事实确永远要被藏起来！希望给多点的勇气，多点的阳光，希望终将会到来吧～
向上的三星半。语言听感上的相近导致有种看台语片的恍惚感。但这是绝不逊色于某些台语片的潮汕方言片。用回乡的契机回溯潮汕传统文化的美与弊，同时兼有时代大潮下海边小城汕头的思变。
特别好。青年无力撕扯故乡脐带，故乡则在叹息着接受新的规则。妈妈演的最好，但明显在都市的戏，导演就没有在汕头的灵动了，有点可惜。
