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
人要与自己和解是最难的，以及，从自我的高傲中剥离出来也是最难的，所以，这剧情来得太轻松了。
深入探讨太少了，流于表面。与其纠结主角难舍亲情爱情，不如探讨替身获得记忆后会如何发展。
雷导对战争场面的调度以及中世纪的人物塑造已经在《天国王朝》中轻松驾驭了，这里是锦上添花，最后的决斗更是让我血脉喷张，这种英雄式的单挑是前作缺少的，也使得这部电影称得上史诗。
三星半。罗生门式的故事。所谓为女性尊严而战，不过是为了男性尊严而战。
对比这两天的新闻来看，更显出这部电影的好。
我才反应过来
披着科幻克隆人的皮，其实是温情亲情片，讲的是告别的不舍，以及感人的亲情，发人深思
雷老爷子新片，超强演员阵容，评分也不错，票房滑铁卢。
但是生活并不是如此
基本就是科幻内核下的文艺片，对情感的细腻刻画让人为之动容，如果作为小说，算是那种初看不算惊艳，但细细品味之下让人掩卷思考良多的精品短片，全片没有什么太多的起伏，转折，以及戏剧冲突，有的是对家庭对爱人对人生的思考，格局确实不大， 但真真切切的能人每个拥有家庭情感的普通人去代入去思考，作为一部科幻片，很多人是存在刻板印象的，比如探讨家暴的《隐形人》探讨人工智能和仿生人的《机械姬》《升级》，都包含了大量动作惊悚悬疑类型元素，而这部片恰恰避开了这些，让人沉下心来，随着主角一起慢慢学会放手。
尽管我感觉如此难过
原以为影片要走刚正不阿战胜奸猾小人的路线，没想到是以伪罗生门的形式，迂回且生动地展现了那个时代男主自身的局限和女主遭受的不公，其间的矛盾冲突即便放到现世依然值得警醒，确实耐人寻思，回味无穷。
為何對玩遊戲機的小孩發脾氣？那時能基因編輯克隆人，不能治癒癌症？
哈哈这是apple的宣发片嘛 现代风近未来 克隆人元素（钢琴师いいね
演技没话说 抛开科幻的设定 内核找的角度无新意 没有打动我 Awkwafina有小惊喜 潜力挺大的
四平八稳，罗生门叙事，权贵与虚荣，超时代女性；最后决斗的十几分钟超级精彩
首先并不是罗生门，试着理解老雷的拍摄意图，在三段细节差异极小的叙述中找到关系的真实、全面微妙之处，但呈现出来的效果确实并不尽如人意，大量的重复很拖沓、仅靠对白和情景还原有很力弱。
中世纪的两个男人为一个女人而战，把决斗视为上帝的意志。雷老爷子多年后再次涉足古装片，史诗、宏伟的场面以及对人性、权力、欲望的探讨让影片看点十足。马达和大本的再次同框也为影片增色不少。朱迪科莫虽然是后起之秀但是演技丝毫不输影片里的任何一位，相反她把身处男权社会下地位卑微却内心刚毅女性角色演绎的淋漓尽致。
对中世纪一无所知，依然被服化道所吸引，古堡和最后决斗的围栏有股冷冰冰的拒绝感，没有刻意的外部光源，来回拢披肩的动作看着就凉意十足。三段罗生门讲述，很明显最后女主讲的才是导演想强调的真相。决斗前玛格丽特的一番话“孩子有母亲比母亲没有错更重要”，把故事节奏从真相辩论引导到血淋淋的后果，整个决斗变得揪心。决斗的剪辑很赞，没有太多血肉模糊，但冷兵器的钝感也极具冲击力。槽点有二：三个视角没有太多区别，handsome太违和了吧。
最后决斗那场戏太精彩了 从每个人的表情能看出他们的立场 选角也厉害 让 Alex Lawther 演可爱的查理 真的有神经质的感觉
