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
作为音乐剧爱好者 我可太喜欢这部剧了I am allowing myself to be led by love 那种快乐的忧伤的 可以让人飞起来的感觉 享受和沉浸在所有感官里 这就是音乐剧带来的美妙❤️
俗人果然还是不适合看歌舞片 倒是希望二代小蜘蛛能拿个奖什么的
满怀期望的打开，看着看着目光开始呆滞，甚至想关上播放器去睡会觉。
把任何困難都盡全力去樂觀，永遠積極的人，觀眾看著總會覺得他在天才和傻屌之間徘徊，黎明前的黑暗果然就是最黑的，咬牙拼了。故事背後的故事，令人心疼。
剧作就很弱了，堆砌大量人物关系，叙事逻辑和节奏都相当的混乱。
但是啊，那些有趣的人会跟我们说，年龄从来不是关键，最重要的是自己会怎样的生活。就应该不顾一切地朝着未来奔去。
一部关于音乐剧作家的音乐剧。LMM导演的第一部电影，一个充满才华的作曲家的陨落。不知道JON是不是LMM的偶像，即便不是，LMM对他也是穿越时空的惺惺相惜。电影中JON的创作过程，那些灵感迸发、自我怀疑、充满热情、坚毅自信……或许都是LMM曾经的亲身体验。不同的是LMM现今大放异彩，而JON却在看到自己成功前半天突然离世。天才惋惜天才，情感上何止充沛，直接溢出。加菲难得有这样的表现机会，表演也是可圈可点，相信在颁奖季会有很强的竞争力。有几首歌挺不错，有让观众跟着一起律动的能力。
Lin-Manuel Miranda居然是导演，太有才了。Andrew Garfield璞玉浑金，如果凭借此片拿2022第94届奥斯卡最佳男主的话可以说实至名归，期待他更多惊喜的作品。
本片的片名来自他的另一部同名音乐剧，虽然我不太爱看音乐舞蹈片，但这部电影里的表演和歌曲还是挺有感染力的，因为他的歌曲内容大部分来自他自己的生活，所以他的成功因此而改变了音乐剧的定义。
懂了，我离灵感乍现梦想成真就差学会游泳了，明天就去游。加菲是我能get到的那种带着聪明劲儿的帅气，加上手长脚长，演得挺有说服力。歌好听，用一出戏来串场也很美好。人到后来才发现，一生的导演演员观众，都是自己罢了。幕拉开的时候没有人是准备好的，天才也一样。而落幕的时候，所有人都觉得不够。
泳池那场戏很有创造力。故事选取了主角年满30岁之前的那段潦倒时光去讲，视角也挺独特。
其实整部电影都在讲，为什么是他，也只能是他写出Rent。
请到演过各版Rent的演员出演片中的角色，用其中的调子写歌，其实也是为了表现Jon的灵感全部来自生活各处。于是最终我们无法说清，究竟是在倒数时刻里看到吉屋出租的影子，还是在吉屋出租里，其实我们看见的本就满是Jon的生活。
本歌舞片爱好者这几年看的音乐传记电影踩雷率50%以上，这片子怎么能够无聊成这个样子啊？！震惊到！！已经到了看了不到一半就不想记得它的地步。音乐不怎么好听，没有一首能打动我的；故事线杂乱无趣，主角絮絮叨叨惹人烦，配角则根本没存在感；连我这么喜欢的加菲在里面也显得面目可憎起来了，什么鬼！！懒得评了，就当我没看过吧……
百老汇音乐剧这玩意应该是西方戏剧文化的衍变产物，看不懂，不过豆瓣分数一直都超高，大概有一些流行的附魅因素。
由於JGL久未有新作 我宣布加菲暫列我心中談the cutest thing第一名 電影真的乏善可陳 一開始好多cg過於明顯 劇本太基本太安全了 總而言之加菲是最好的（。）
好想看音乐剧Superbia了。我还挺喜欢此片的音乐的，知道朋友得绝症时那段很动人。
虽然是传记片但也把焦距Jonathan个人的视角扩大到所有的创作者的痛苦。swing and a miss, swing and a miss, till you hit.
故事，歌曲，表演都不錯，但舞台音樂劇與電影的那種違和感從頭持續到尾
#22.03.23-24##SYJBL#是关于“我”的故事。好音乐，退出“观看中的剧场aura”以后并不觉得是一个很好的故事。所有的一切还是在于自我表达。所有人的表演都很棒，尤其是加菲。更像是一部行业宣传片，一部很creative的marketing。
