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
还是一如既往喜欢大小姐😍😍😍
终于，全都结束了（看的居然是未删节Tomas剧情的版本，非常喜欢老妇人最后一句话，幽默、饱满、没有遗憾，也让还不能接纳死亡的我无比伤感）
虽然题材相似但感觉跟lalaland完全不同。看片尾的真人录像，本人还有一些局促不安一些逃避镜头和一些失落的感觉。印象最深的是男主问经纪人接下来怎么办？经纪人说写下一个，你只能不停地不停地写下一个。
说实话对这类音乐剧电影并不太喜欢。但有一段打动到我 男主回忆自己小时候和朋友在学校里排练唱歌 说 “希望人生每一天都这样度过。”虽然长大后的生活一地鸡毛 但或许会有一件事让你愿意不跟随主流 走入那条看似体面光鲜的上升路径 为主角纯粹而美好的理想主义感动。6.5
居然一晃这么多年过去了，精致的古典英伦范，从未被超越，所有的旧人都是依然那样在我心中啊，也从未改变
我不算真正了解故事的背景，但是不管你是不是musical fans你都会在这个故事里找到打动你的一个点，无论是是坚持是恋爱是失望还是希望。我哭了大概五次，sunday那里百老汇蟠桃宴式的致敬，试唱会还有swimming都非常动人，难得每首曲子都倾注了真心和热情，太好听了。另外加菲真的太优秀。Thanks for all。
看到有些朋友因为某些缘故都会拿它与另一部音乐片做对比，但很遗憾，各方面，各方面它都无法比拟LaLaLand. 包括感情线
挺有意思的音乐片，剪辑蛮厉害的，原型太可惜，这么早就过世了，稍微晚点，活到中年可能会留下更多佳作。
这音乐根本听不下去，歌词肤浅，都是生活场景的白描和零碎拼贴，故事也矫情、无聊，男主跟跳蚤似的一直跳来跳去。三十岁生日怎么样呢？三十岁之前是为了那一天活的吗？无语，太自我中心了，主要还是这快餐歌曲太难听、太套路，毫无营养，难以共鸣。更不懂的是，居然一片好评？
噢，还有一句台词得送给我自己。
创作者大概是最不能平衡工作和生活的吧。整个人好像分裂成两个，一个还在惯性关心着亲友，一个已经游离出去在想怎么把这个素材好好用起来。又焦虑又冷漠。但是没办法，对于有天赋的人来说，没有什么比创作更重要。最极致的痛苦和甜蜜都因创作产生。唯一美中不足的是加菲唱的一般。/《Superbia》那段几个歌手应该是专业的，Sextet Montage那段那个卷发女生唱得好好！另外力荐《Rent》好吗，有机会看的都去看！
事业、爱情和生命的三重“倒数”注定本片会在紧迫和焦虑中不断加码至情感过载。在《倒数时刻》独白表演的基础上，电影没有追求类型内常见的复杂调度和编舞，而是依靠着大量快节奏的平行蒙太奇，配合着急促、重复的音型还有搬演的纪录片资料，处理好了戏中戏两层叙事结构，它们成为了彼此的镜像，最终发表会上合二为一；同时又以一种侵略的姿态直接压迫着观众的情感体验。那段可能是全片唯一同期声拍摄的钢琴Solo最终让我们在精疲力尽中走到情绪的高潮，而后电影竟一种温暖的姿态收了回来，稍有勉强但未尝不可。“纽约无人快乐”，加菲的表演让人回想起金·凯瑞在《月亮上的人》中的那般痴狂，在每一个笑容背后，都是破碎且泪眼朦胧的。
体验到了歌剧的感染力，有新意，但仍没有跳脱出传统歌舞类型的框架，放在今年来看已经是佼佼者了。首先加菲的的形象从彼得帕克开始就一直非常适合这种埋头苦干的草根设定，确实是这部影片的不二人选，在影片中一展其别开生面的嗓音有如专业选手，LMM将拉森的歌曲几乎一比一地搬上大银幕并赋予其极大的生命力，围绕生前遗憾的展现不会太过挣扎，而是用拼搏奋斗的献身精神去回应外界的感慨，反而凸显其的传奇性 。泳池五线谱化为创作灵感的设计着实是让人眼前一亮了，献给所有对百老汇舞台抱有激情的创作者和观众，对比今年另一部改编之作《健听女孩》也收获了丰厚的口碑，可能在疫情之年西方世界真的很需要这样重拾热情的话题之作吧。
原来是吉屋出租composer原型
一个童话般的ending。奶奶真是完美善终了。
加菲完全融入了角色，这一次他很用力，褒义的。
一百一十年前，1912年，唐顿的继承人和泰坦尼克号一起沉没了，故事由此展开。
Long live Maggie Smith～还想再看奶奶演三十年
故事有质感，但歌曲整体而言稍逊了一筹。这个和Rent给我的观感是大致一样的。就这部电影而言，另一个问题在于，最好听的歌和最重要的几场戏，没能搭配起来。当然要解决这个问题，已经超出了电影创作者的能力范畴了。除此之外，都还算不错。
虽然就是大团圆但是很喜欢！看着好开心！5555大家都成双成对了，奶奶😭南法也太美了！
