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
杨导和谢苗不是第一次合作了，二位请继续加油。4星献上。
作为半个潮汕人，看的很感动，客观的讲，电影叙事水平也很不错
少做少错型的网大，故事体量不大就不拍那么多乱七八糟，也行。
2022春节档以来最好看的电影。就是外地媳妇去见家长的簡單故事，情感真实的电影。可以看得出导演有点小企图，虽然有些镜头稚嫩但还是蛮用心。和爱情神话一样是一部方言电影，因此除了故事本身，影片地域感也带给我们不一样的体验。在什么都严重同质化的现在显得非常的珍贵。
可爱的汕头老妈，可爱的汕头文化，可爱的汕头美食
3.5，虽然74分钟，但是完成度很高，感觉很好，尤其划剑出火那一场打斗很帅，整体的武打场面都很好看，近年来少有的干净利落的武侠电影。
还可以，短小精干，为啥没人找谢苗演戏呢，有点可惜
故事线就简单地一根，帮助女人的动机稍微弱了点，画面，服化道在网大里算还可以
我得给个5分，2年多了没看过什么中文爽片儿了，这武打和快意恩仇，我必须给5星，琴娘真美、主角动作戏满分，关键是诚意
一部标准的动作电影，放在网大里就成了拔尖，可见观众被粗制滥造的国产网大荼毒成啥样了……动作戏用心了
前半段特别的好，到了深圳之后不免落入俗套，妈妈的形象像极了许多潮汕母亲。
想我妈了。也许现在的城里年轻人看来被父母阻挠了自己的爱情是很不可思议的事情，但我觉得这就是那个环境里可以理解的事情，作为一个在上海读书的潮汕人，看的时候我一直在二者之间反复横跳。不过潮汕男孩真的不错啊。
不是高高在上的伟大的母爱形象
捉刀人？没有赏金猎人的意思吧，这词儿用的怪怪的。结尾还自己点评事了拂衣去有点傻。拍的挺认真的
跟前两天看的那个《山村狐妻》刚好可以对照着来看。这个明显就感觉到，影像质感是有的，导演也挺会拍的，很多镜头包括光线调度都是精心设计过的，但是另一方面，内容上就显得相对单薄了。当然，故事难有难的讲法，简单也有简单的讲法，这样一个切口很小的故事来做减法也不是不可以，但是人物塑造上就会显得稍微弱了一些。不说别的，瞎子听力这么好，别人全家被灭了，噼里啪啦声音那么大，他睡在一边愣是完全没醒？这酒度数这么高吗……
作为一部武侠网大，真的是超出预期的小惊喜，利落、冷峻、有品，整个故事的气质有点像小椴的《长安客》，也是一种“石火光中寄此身”和“请从绝处逢侠气”，完全不拖沓、不煽情，台词克制，没什么废话，动作场景非常漂亮，审美也是非常典型的、童年时期记忆中的武侠片的审美。故事不复杂，但口子开得小，完成度非常高。谢苗是惊喜。
很好很好的侠客电影，美术很好，场景很好，演员很好
前几分钟有点那意思，美术摄影不错，动作戏可以再流畅些 到女主哥哥回来开始拉垮了，谢苗表演痕迹太重，演大侠不用使劲儿，松弛克制，说台词也太用力，仿佛在说快看我的下颌线！快看我学的谷子地！女主演的也很套路，电影学院暑假作业的感觉，判官也喊着演，是导演的失控
看这部片之前，完全不知道谢苗演了这么多网大片，真不容易。终于啊终于！！
剧情极度空洞，连国产片用来塞时长的煽情桥段都没有╮(╯▽╰)╭
