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
Tye长这么丑了？
崔宇植好看，片子难看。人设都太扁平，计谋都太无趣，剧情推动靠互相放狠话。BORING。
总觉得剧情差点意思，马上要被撩拨起心劲的时候又下去了，但小崔的演技真的佳，和几个前辈合作起来一点没有接不住
原来是小说改编的啊，难怪看得时候就感觉导演想在2小时里塞进来4个小时的内容，演员演技都没得说，就是信息量太大，大脑处于一直消化的状态，感观不是太好
故事从一开始就各种似曾相识，从走投无路的怨母稚稚子，到事业爱情颗粒无收，甚至单亲妈妈的恶性肿瘤以及从爱阅读到励志作家这样的细节都是老桥段，通篇看完毫无新意……但，就是处理得细腻，就是能再同一处伤上反复揭疤，让自己看了依旧感动。
寓意有意思，不是非黑即白，而是灰色地带，用小恶制止大恶，也就是以恶制恶。几个演员演出很好。不过剧情线一开始看有点乱，需要很耐心去看。这方面导演完全可以慢慢拍，想搞反转之前，正线叙事要更清楚才好。
情节，表演，选景，拍摄，道具都没有吸引力，消磨时间也有点费劲
应该是乔治克鲁尼的开山之作吧 ！jr自幼年就随母亲来到姥爷家蹭住 ，还有查理舅舅，直到jr上了耶鲁大学，依然全都住在姥爷家 ，有点让人无法接受 ！ 美国普通家庭温馨的一面 ，表现的不错 ，唯一缺憾是故事的梗不硬 ！
平淡是可以的，但不能无聊。电影没有让人想看下去的欲望。克鲁尼吃不了导演这碗饭。这孩子也是个花瓶，电影里很少有童星出不了彩的，只能说是个pretty but boring boy。
还行吧 比较娱乐商业化 日本版的孤狼之血才悲壮 没有一个好下场 韩国的就是部娱乐片儿
Determination love and effort
前半段还凑合，后半段剪辑和剧情都稀碎到好像投资方一夜之间撤资了似的。崔哥这里换了一种比较收敛的演法，赵叔没啥发挥余地。影片最后俩人怎么都发面了？！wuli宇植啊不要再吃辣白菜炒年糕了！高盐高碳水是南韩男人发面的必经之路吗？！
冲着赵震雄来看的，实在太差。整个故事都太假，稚嫩的崔宇植也完全撑不起角色，实在忍不了快进看完
勉勉强强。这个年龄给我整蒙了，小崔的爸爸把雄当干儿子，但雄又把小崔当干儿子，虽然想说血统传承，但年龄是不是有点问题啊。
真的是很温柔的酒吧啊，没有人能拒绝温柔大本舅舅！
结尾太淡了，男生的成长经历有曲折，但共情的的部分不够，对美国阶级分层的刻画也止于表面。爹型大本还是很性感的，比他年轻时鞋巴子脸顺眼多了。
冲着大本看的。是瘦了吗？几乎不敢确定。故事有点你当像鸟飞过高山的感觉。原生家庭、上大学的重要性。舅舅被渣爸暴走为什么不还手？我不理解。最后找渣男我以为会帮舅舅要回30美元。。我也想和男主做固炮。
居然是乔治克鲁尼导演的，他为什么不继续做演员？
本土化很成功的一部韩剧，大道理讲的也不错 亦正亦邪，事实是几人能做到。快别标了。不过 赵震雄一出来，剧情立马了解了大半。剩下就看怎么加菜了。
中规中矩，剧情反转都在意料之中，几位叔之间对戏太少有点可惜
