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
从两个青梅竹马到两人分道扬镳本来无可厚非，毕竟他们都有自己的梦想，但是从纯纯的爱情故事变成科幻故事真的让我蚌埠住了，可能这部电影的剧情走向，情节设计远不能达到四星，但是真的有很多地方让我非常感动，几乎落泪，而且相比于黄凌芳的角色我更喜欢丁萌萌，虽然她主演的戏份在后半段，所以四颗星拿去吧...
搞乐队玩摇滚卖唱女文学系渣导演，一展现北京文艺就搞这些元素，真的看厌了。后边更离谱，玛蒂尔达化身中国叛逆妹子，穿越到捷克搞科研。我爱她但是我又放不下另一个她，两全其美的办法是让她生下我和另一个她的受精卵。服了，中年男人的恶心幻想。
3.王朔这么多年过去还沉浸在那个京圈美梦里，上次听闻他正在创作涉及人类历史命运的宏大作品，现在却中间出现这样一个东西，很难不感失望。
瞬间便是永恒，生命厚度决定情感浓度。王朔至死是少年。大家肯定都爱上丁萌萌了吧，以至于她死去时，仿佛真的失去了挚爱。
前半部阿甘正传，后半部本杰明巴顿奇事，这是朔爷写的吗？王传君，演的很好。
其实从开头到出国那一段我真的觉得挺好的，除了画面的卡顿感、抖动感和掉帧感让我有点难受之外，我都很喜欢，剧情从出了国之后开始跑偏了，如果直接发现永生干细胞，并且结局和丁萌萌在一起都比这个结局好太多，编剧为了让郭小鲁体会孤独，让他周围的亲人和爱人全部写死，并且强行深刻，探讨生死，把事情搞复杂，就彻底将故事讲烂了。
教授女儿开始用自己做实验开始就走玄幻画风了
还是有太多塑料道具感，还是有太多垃圾雷同抒情转场情节(尤其是到实验室取受精卵)
王传君后半段总还是药神内味，明明不丑一人😂😂
没有那么难看，也没有那么好看，感情部分有点像本杰明，阿甘正传，又有点像霍乱时期的爱情里面的感觉，但是又不够连续和混乱。王珞丹的出走没有过多的说明，只能说小时候没有得到父母的爱，长大了变得谁都可以爱，也许。
剧本很深刻，艺术性很强。但镜头与叙事太过普通。
流逝的不是时间，是存在的一切。即使保持身体的不变，变化的一切，也会不断的冲刷着精神，长年累月，曾经温和清爽的小溪，会变成凶猛吞人的洪水。被过往淹没的你，依旧站在那里，但没人记得你还站在那里……如果人会遗忘，或被遗忘，谁来定义你的永恒。
你还不如直接说跟看见慢动作一样，达到了“不老”，居然这么科学的去造干细胞……所谓的“爱情”，更像是编剧一厢情愿的认为：自己念念不忘的人，在老了或者出事的时候，会回过头来找自己的。
导演对自己感觉没信心，明明这个故事只要最基本的讲述就好了，就简简单单的爱情故事，王传君跟王珞丹的演技可以接得住。非要搞花头乱七八糟的加噱头，结果一点意义没有。就跟山楂树之恋似的整个故事就是俩人相遇分开，命运的错过，俩人的人生，结束。结果现在乱七八糟的，辜负他俩演技。王珞丹真好看。
女主对男主的感情挺深的
比本杰明差了五万四千里。但是值得鼓励。
但事实是并没有，且差很远
得分：6.5
出发点是好的，用奇幻的故事来探讨爱情探讨生死，只是背景故事太多了，表现得东西太琐碎了，一方面让奇幻变成难以理解，另一方面使探讨的东西浮于主角的旁白，缺少了文艺片所有的深沉。当然，从这样的角度讲述一个故事不失为一个好的尝试。
以为是爱情电影，结果是一部关于老去和死亡的哲理片或者说伪文艺片。最大的卡司是王珞丹，但实际上王珞丹反而只是一根牵扯的线，而李婷婷反而才是女主。因为刚经历了爷爷的过世，所以在丁教授死亡前的那场交谈里，很触动我，人生不就是一辆等待下车的公交巴士，死亡不就是最后的终点站么？
