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
啥？我看了五十分钟的啥？五十分钟可以用一句话说清楚的啥玩意
要说缺陷可能只是叙事上还不够绵密，像寺院的情节就有损节奏。在说资源在权力层级链条中的流动，各个叙述单元的视觉表现都很出色，尤其皇帝的形象，表达力度相比《姜子牙》这样更新的电影可见一斑，大概从这里逐渐形成中国动画怪诞甚至偏暗黑的审美趣味（比如被轧断腿、狐妖盗取天书后的乱舞）。

比较乏味。“希区柯克式惊悚片”名不符实，既不“希区柯克”，又不“惊悚”。剧情简单，人物形象塑造高度符合刻板印象，绑匪心理刻画比较真实，结局比较生硬。如果说是女主在精神高度紧张情况下被揭穿服用避孕药一事，恼羞成怒，连杀两人，影片里也没有交代清楚前因后果，脚部特写表示自主选择的设定莫名其妙。当风景片看还是不错的，景致优美，尤其橘子园那段。
现在的动画人哪敢讲这种故事，这么多代指上面光砍就算轻的了
上美三宝：《大闹天宫》《哪吒闹海》《天书奇谭》
多少次没能看到下集！电视和连环画都没有下集，很多年后才在网上看到后半部分的故事
第一次看，因为口碑很好加上经过后期修复，所以想看看，看完我感觉一般，可能小孩子看感觉有趣。
近四十年前的魔幻现实题材神作，如今是否还会再有，那为人间盗来天火的袁公？
本可以更精彩，悬念不够，转折不够，节奏不够
很难过，为什么那么多年以前，我们能拍出这么好的动画片和电影，现在却是一塌糊涂了
天书实则是上层阶级对下层阶级统治的资源，天机不可泄露亦是阶级固化的一种形式，而袁公、蛋生所代表的打地主、均土地的共产主义者最终被资本家所扼杀，天书的前言也是资本家虚伪的谎言，
想象力奇崛丰富，其中的一些情节甚至奇幻而且cult。小时候我并没有看过这句动画片，如今第一次看，只想说，童年看过这部电影的孩子，是幸福的，不说“童年阴影”，而是想起，自己对善良的信仰，与邪恶的抗争，让我们在此后的世间抵御乱神狂妖，让我们记得那些曾经付出过善意的伙伴们。
这部动画耽搁了多年,去年还是今年终于完成.作为当年中国传统动画的水平和一个对于我们的童年有意义的片子而给予四星.
儿时果然是看过的，83年的？那时有彩色了吗？做成这样，真是了不起

今天看完了这部童年没看过的电影，以前知道这部动画的幕后故事，感受到了老一辈对创作的热忱，今天看了后更加觉得动画这种艺术，在老一辈人里虽然更多是面向孩童，但是却没将孩童认为是脆弱的。故事的结局可以不是圆满的大团圆，但是袁公的理想却实现了，将天书传给可以让社会变得更好的人。人物画得是脸谱化的，但是人却不是脸谱化的，县官贪财却也重视老太爷，最后也想着找爸爸；府尹看着贪色，但是也是想要狐狸们留下好给他更多财，其实聪明着呢。其中一些法术都很有想象力，其实超想要最后那个量子读书的能力，哈哈哈比天书还吸引人～总得来说是非常优秀且经典的动画！
真的很喜欢中国那个时期的动画片！童年的美好回忆。真的比现在的喜羊羊之类的好很多啊！
袁公回到天上，徒留蛋生在凡间何去何从？“蛋生，你以后要好自为之！”
