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
标准化的家庭戏，也能带来标准化的感动。爱永不过时。
题材不新颖，剧本工整但也平庸，视听语言毫无创造力，情感动人之余还略微粗暴直接，论清新自然度也不如法国原版，这可以说是一碗好喝的罐头鸡汤，但也转瞬即逝，永不会在影史的浩瀚星河中留下任何痕迹 Oscar颁给它是嫌自己这些年恶心的不够，连带给它招黑的吧
近读《曾公嘉言钞》，“国藩入世已深，厌阅一种宽厚论说、模棱气象，养成不黑不白，不痛不痒之世界，误人家国已非一日，偶有所触，则轮囷肝胆又与掀振一番”。

感觉一般啊，甚至像是纪录片：“聋哑家庭如何面对real生活”。那个音乐老师挺有趣，其他无感。
Always there in time of need,
金曲美颜尚可观，青春励志老调弹。
合唱团表演的“此时无声胜有声”和面试的手语翻译歌词都是神来之笔。
宁静的海边捕鱼小镇，如果没有能够理解对方世界的能力，那就只能留在各自的世界里面。
法国贝利叶一家的美国版，剧情水准相对稳定，但唯一不足就是歌唱。
成长是生命的本能。不能成长的时候就，变态了。成长是一生的旋律，直到死亡将其转化为更加微观的生长。成长的阻力千奇百态，成长的轨迹千变万化。分离或回归，独立或融入，关爱如同纽带
这不就是美国版《贝利叶一家》吗？both sides now实在是太好哭。
94th奥斯卡最佳影片。但是这片子实在是没啥可说。平庸老套而已。美国保守主义价值观的胜利罢了。
在一个聋哑家庭无声的世界里，有家人的真爱在传递。
Anyway, some plots , most about sex, are funny.
瞎子会不会画画
I will go where you lead,
不管怎么样，题材合乎时宜，拍法正常，剪辑流畅，演员投入，人物立体，这种几乎打脸工业化的完成度，再次证明了电影本身的创作要求。更重要的，是喜剧！是笑中带泪的喜剧！
有一种你当像鸟飞往你的山的感觉，飞不出的的港湾，女主角都是受困于原生家庭，但是拥有美丽的嗓音。流畅感人的好电影，治愈且温馨。
