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
男女主角这个感情线，生硬。而且，男主角这个演技直接让我怀疑，女主角和他搭戏是不是也很别扭。情感戏眼神不专一，游离，略带呆滞；帮会中也不见霸气与。。
男人之间的剑拔弩张，collateral damage都是女人在承受。
主要是为了Nina Dobrev而看得。流水线电影，没什么意思。离圣诞还有一段时间呢。
毫无新意的翻拍之作，配角居然比主演表现的还要好？！真不知道怎么选角的。就这样吧，还不如看它原版。
原本的样貌就很好了 虽然没看过原版音乐剧 但感觉电影这种载体并没有为这个故事增色太多 有更多视角 但却并不是辅助故事本身 几段街景舞蹈很艳丽多彩 很有感染力
每一幕都是享受，完美的电影拍摄手法，顶尖的好莱坞水准，来拍摄了一个过时的故事。去享受就好了。
想看斯皮尔伯格怎么改，除了男主，都是剧场演员啊。/斯皮尔伯格并没有改，完全是老夫聊发少年狂。
电影的部分再做的怎么好，看不到载歌载舞背后的情感支持，也对我无效
有几场戏还是挺好看的，但是看完就忘记是哪几场了。
[视]中美广场舞文化差异，奥斯卡一奖六提，豆瓣6.1。波多黎各人，种族主义。女主非典型美人，迪士尼风格。国外观众看莎翁有没有国内西游记PTSD。公众场合多人性q戏份放在歌舞片里有些不适，印度化程度加深
最值得着墨的种族冲突和移民问题完全被淡化了，以至于看起来就是一个多管闲事的哥哥干涉妹妹恋爱最后被她对象给干死了的故事… STUPID！（吴宗宪语气
圣诞又多一烂片，恶俗到极致，讲真现在再看copy真爱至上的桥段老子简直要吐了。作为一个真的在网恋软件捡到未婚夫的人，我对该片的扯淡之处简直无言以对。另外，不要以貌取人的道理我都懂，但是连我这样一个普通人看到男一的小矮个儿单眼皮都会直接滑走好吗……
影片文本改编于《罗密欧与朱丽叶》，然而故事却很难让人喜欢起来，尤其是女主角玛丽亚被爱蒙蔽，错把昏聩当纯情，极易让观众引起不适。
就好像…因为一首歌买了一盘CD，然后发现那是整张专辑唯一一首好听的曲子…
这本来是个借爱情悲剧讲述种族歧视的作品？但我实在受不了恋爱脑蠢逼男女主...只要他俩的戏份都看得我难受的坐立难安。还有简直塑料兄妹情。。。确定是亲哥？你哥刚被他捅死，立马跟人家滚床单了？？？!!!我特么。。。然后嫂子在门外伤心欲绝想跟你谈谈，俩人还在窗口缠绵，嫂子推开门看到真的是心都凉了，我都想冲过去一个大嘴巴子抽死这对狗男女。。。嫂子后面还帮忙去传话，差点被强，好屈辱好心疼她，所以我看到她撒谎间接害死男主我不仅不难过反而觉得很爽，该!chino咋不把女主也干掉，史上最讨人厌男女主。。。
罗密欧与朱丽叶的故事恐怕真的过时了，一见钟情和族群背叛都像是熊孩子恋爱脑，很难动人，而且男主角肉眼可见的不行。就全当来欣赏新晋最佳女配了吧。
PS ：Ansel Elgort已成为美国黄晓明，甚至更油
7/10。大导能力摆在那里，镜头的调度，场景的设计，处处能看出大导的气质。但大导也有局限性，种族对立这样的话题只能点到为止，和如今美国民间的嘈杂声音成了鲜明对比。此外，除了一个新的角色设计，也没有对当下状况的重新认知与考量——他只是在简单回忆近代美国的黄金时代，那个时代属于纽约、属于爵士、属于伯恩斯坦、属于热血、属于青春。导演对艺术追求的复古很难获得观众的共鸣，如同结尾Credit有柯达logo，写着是用35mm拍摄而成的，可是现在的观众都是看着手机屏幕长大的。
就很流水线但是还可以哈哈哈哈哈哈至少不难看，虽然太过好莱坞PC童话，为了欧阳才看到嘻嘻
女主我不认识，主要是看吉米欧阳。他演技还是差着那么点儿劲儿的。不是说浪漫爱情轻喜剧的男主一定要好看，但确实得有点swag，能让人花痴得起来。
