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
多人分饰多角的形式除了经济效率外，在阐释故事的团结和谐主题也有一定的符号化作用。适合放在小屏幕上的百老汇，故事视觉化、篇幅也短。
三星半 ｜前2/3极度舒适的片子 最后有些垮了 人物的设计稍显讨巧 矛盾起的也略突兀 为了男主的魅力手松给个四星
一个狭小的场地进行广大空间的叙事，人多而不杂乱，事多而有序井然，第一次看到这样的舞台剧，没有繁杂的舞美，没有奢华的舞台，而演出了精彩的故事，大开眼界，大吃一惊！佩服佩服！
灾难片里主角以外的人都是炮灰，跑着跑着就被砸死在半路上。除此之外也有这样的故事在讲述每个平凡人在未知遭遇里的平凡细节。好好啊！gayest town in newfoundland！
加拿大小镇视角的911，各类情感的交集，将远方的灾难和世界各地的人们拉进。这里有阴影下的争吵、焦虑和不信任，也有包容与善良汇成的暖流，最多的是人性中的善产生的辉光。
重构庞杂的信息和情感，在灾难带给新发地的聚会
百老汇原版原本会在2020年4月在天桥上演，疫情原因演出取消，舞台影像记录了2021年在百老汇的重演。
好好啊，男主好帅啊我陷进去他的眼神，和自己和解又老套又喜欢
一切皆为一流！（我他妈绝对手贱点了片名下面的“近期冷门佳片排行榜”！）
Emma Thompson最后在镜子前欣赏自己的那幕跟张艾嘉在《20 30 40》中很像。
趁着要去现场前补了。虽然是鸡汤但是很喜欢，尤其是疫情加上二十年的特殊日子。好喜欢舞台和各位的表演，非常有生命力，让人落泪又不过度煽情🥰
其实我从来恐惧的是生理性智力的衰退
过年的时候在家看了两遍后，开学都还在循环机长之歌
去年初在现场看的时候就又哭又笑的，正值9·11二十周年，官摄上线，重温一遍我又是暴风哭泣。 这是一部相当优秀的群像剧，演员没有什么短板，剧情张弛有度，配乐和配器也很有意思。这群陌生人的相遇，虽说是因为一场改变了世界的悲剧，但却开出了善良温情的花。🥺
此刻我们说着相同的语言，哇，那一瞬间觉得信仰好伟大。陌生人释放善意而产生的羁绊真美好
铁幕搅动的半个世纪的疯狂历史，无解。
温柔。我：“也有点想尝试一下！”老婆：“我想这样的男性工作者是不存在的。”
甘德小镇的居民用最真诚的心欢迎这一批不速之客，他们好傻，对陌生人敞开大门，也完全不懂“Knock knock”的笑话。但他们好厉害，竟能把惊惧变成温暖，是人性的力量。
前一小时，觉得题材挺有趣，话题也挺有趣，觉得是一部包装成有噱头的浪漫轻喜剧，后半小时急转直下变成了常规化的亲情和解题材，加上结局的超级无聊，立马感受变成了3星。可以想象这在中国如果被报道会有多耸动的大字标题，可以明晰现实中这样展开的不可能性。仍然感谢有人愿意耐心用心真心与一个中老年女性谈心了解其需求，满足其欲望，也希望女性无论什么年纪，都能更爱自己，更关心自己，在不违背道义伦理等基本框架的基础上，取悦自己，活出自己想要的人生。
在性方面，相对一部分男人都不会克制自己（甚至是非法）的欲望，而大部分女人则太过于克制自己（合理）的需求。女主在婚姻中压抑自己的性需求，从未感受过性高潮，为了男人可笑的自尊心，还要假装高潮，在丈夫离世后，终于按捺不住潜滋暗长的欲望，点了一个鸭，却因为过于自省、压抑太久导致的拘束、保守的道德观念、对年龄、身体的羞耻而不得其法，好在最终还是在打开了自己，得到了快感，而且最妙的是这快感是自己带给自己的（去他的阳具中心主义）。男主真的是完美的性对象，英俊、性感、温柔、尊重对方。反对关于性的暴力，祛除对于性的羞耻，让我们把性还原成一件美好的事情吧，平等、自愿、安全、愉悦。P.S.很可疑的是，现实中的性交易不会这么美好。
