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
手法说不上很有新意，解谜的部分也有点乏力，但我还是挺喜欢的，正如对男医生说的那句“你不会懂”，这部电影对准了很多东亚题材不常触及甚至不敢直面的女性之痛，可惜在结局又硬生生做了妥协，或许也是一种残忍的慈悲吧…
上一輩未了的夢想落在子女身上、子女努力活出上一輩期待的樣貌，彼此間既相愛也失望。最哀傷莫過於女兒心靈解離後的新人格竟全是母親的樣貌。親子間需要練習接受對方都不是完美的、練習接受彼此的缺陷、對彼此的失望，諒解對方、互相扶持、成長。心痛的對白是「假如沒有你，我會更好」⋯即使血緣關係，真的不需要為了誰而犧牲，每個人終究是獨立的個體、一個人來、一個人走。
各种男色。像游泳队集体在面前赤身裸体这种，很内地的所谓甜宠剧、大女主剧了。
还不错啊 有被感动到耶 周兴哲很帅好吗！而且没想到演技出乎意料地很自然 “可是我不喜欢你”这句话虽然很伤人 但一定要讲清楚 中间两段唱歌太长了甚至可以删掉
悬念保持的很好，节奏也不错，演员演技在线，最后一段升华了，很深刻的一部电影
看在情怀上给的3星…实在是毫无叙事，全程尿点…
硬加进来的大鹤告白那part竟然成了全片最佳
童年家暴，职场倾轧，生育恐慌，压力太多最终造成了人格分裂。剧情套路一般，全靠演员演技支撑。
母女两人的演员的演技真好，全靠撑起来，剧情毫无悬念，工业化流水线作品。
剧情紧凑，身临其境，只是时间太短，特别是打斗场面很少，不过，依然令人兴奋，果然不愧是我，拯救了人理😬
其实剧情能猜的出来。就是感觉，人们的不幸果然很大程度受童年经历的影响。
什么？！学长竟然是周兴哲？！// 什么台湾青春伤痛文学，完全多余的自作多情戏和错过矛盾闹别扭。几天吃饭的时间加上二倍速终于看完了，唯一的亮点就是饭团手帐。演员演的都很不自然，剧本也不自然，冲着台湾青春片看的，但很失望。
整部影片挺好的，故事线很引人入胜，结局也足够令人震惊，但是女主是因为从小的心结还是因为工作压力大得病的，我不太明白，这还是告诉我们沟通很重要，人的心理健康也很重要！
普通剧情，我就是想听周兴哲的声音，看完了电影。
催眠加人格分裂，还是能猜到，不过故事讲得还不错。
如果我当初多氪两块钱，是不是就能少一位可怜人的儿子/女儿/老婆/老公是哑巴
打斗场面虽然华丽但是乱七八糟，阿其曼居然是所罗门😲
好沉重，东亚母亲和女儿被困的一生，就是今天的日推《我告诉你女孩子一生要害怕些什么》💔
发型的关系，千禹熙和李慧英太像了。原本以为申河均又将是反派，出乎意料并不是这样。故事走向和《黑天鹅》很像。拍的够惊悚，听到音乐不妙，就不敢再盯着屏幕看。为李慧英打call，超有味道。生肉可真不好啃啊…
3.5。内容逻辑都还算饱满完善，但故弄玄虚拖慢节奏的部分太多了，1.25倍速完全没问题。感觉原生家庭和女性职场问题因为双重人格这个设定被弱化了，没有平衡好，不伦不类显得呆板
