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
小说改
没看过黑道往事冒然去看这部电影简直是煎熬。不是片子的问题，是我的问题。文化差异太大不了解那段历史，只会感到又长又无聊。
两星给娜酱的，这剧情我看得云里雾里，始终搞不明白想表达什么。
悬疑的真相平平无奇，叙事手法却挺有趣。日剧中触动心灵的小感动没有缺席，无出轨就编不了故事的传统也一如既往。
金刚 女主，差点认不出来；如果生活有快/慢按键该多好！
就像吹得牛逼的不行的黑帮老大，其实也就是个流氓小头目，一共就那么几个手下，别说朝阳区了，放浦东新区也分分钟被灭了。
搞不懂为什么看完会再想看烟霞为什么为什么为什么
根據真實故事改編；
好久没看过这么无聊的电影了，日影的下限到底在哪
搞不懂为什么看完会再想看烟霞为什么为什么为什么
that was painful
7.5/10.
拍成白开水，不如交给宁浩拍拍看。饼啊你真是开司体质。
我其实还有一个小疑惑, 电视剧一个黑人都没有, 这里面怎么有好多黑人戏份?
其中有黑手党同黑人帮派的火拼，黑手党内部的内讧，对待情人的方式好像私有品，还有种族歧视，其成员的残暴，自私和杀人不眨眼令人寒心，表面上很和睦，但说翻脸就翻脸，看上去有人情味，但其实个个都很无情。
六几年意大利黑手党会带着内哥一起混？ 我特么都快吐了，电视剧里面2000年的东尼直接搞种族歧视.67年的意大利黑手党居然有内哥了，好莱坞抓紧毁灭吧
男主人设真的不讨喜，而且在整个故事中没有成长弧，以一种很尴尬的方式融入到主线当中。而闪回的形式让人觉得故事里的主观臆想太多了，反而缺少了推理的真实。
有年代感，我没看过《黑道家族》，所以对这个前传是当独立电影来看的，不过确实没有达到心理预期。火拼不过瘾，义气也没有，传承也没看到，最后甚至可以猜到他会被人爆头。没有意外，没有震撼！里面人物关系，情节转换该交代的不交代，该认真展开的不展开。可惜了！
无太大波澜起伏，略有低迷状态，算是值得一看
很喜欢，全程不用动脑，就静静感受那场风雪，感受山，感受疲倦劳累和不懈坚持，感受伤痛和治愈。
