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
三星半！前面开心，后面刻意现实，略割裂，表演好，剧本精彩，台词好，可惜导演的有点刻意。还是爱在系列的理查德厉害，第三部餐桌戏太深沉太令人崩溃了，比婚姻故事好。
开始亦是结束的开始，一切终究输给了生活的艰辛。
很美的流水账。苏打的鼻子可以独立出道了！但是当小田切让出现，我就迅速倒戈了，这个男人真的是……太要命了！
让真嗣和绫波丽成人的不是其他，而是生活，像田间插秧，微风拂过泥土气息一般的生活
看前基本没有被剧透到，说实话其实并没有什么震撼感，不如说是预料之中的熟悉感，像迟到多年终于到达了约定的地点，是的，面面俱到（这个词对我而言并不算褒义词），然而看完了无遗憾。
对于角色魅力与假想代入，这两点要素是实现了的。同时，影片本身具有一定的前瞻性。★★★☆/7.3
画面和叙述手法都是老一套，但这个剧情真是稀烂…转折又生硬又尴尬，带着削薄了很多人物的立体性，tv版的明日香几乎能和真嗣形成一个映照性的对等角色，在这里两笔用爱和关心之类好听的话匆匆带过，花得心思有比得上讨好男观众的万分之一多吗？薰的部分更感觉在用台词骗骗同人女，一两分钟就想把本来就模糊的角色说清楚我也是😅看得出是想给观众一个交代，但完全是一个失败的内核转变作品，说是一篇完成度不高的同人文还更好接受一点
毫无悬念的中二trash 整个世界都围着你转 你是宇宙的中心
给一代宅男们的成长劝诫片。十几年前的EVA是给我们看的，现在的EVA还是给我们看的，泪目了。抛开情怀，论剧情论剪辑论音乐，新剧场版系列的巅峰还是《破》。
2021.8.15 终于看完正片了，虽然真心话是老版yyds，新版emmm何必呢，但再也没有以后了😢
电影院后面一排有一对夫妻一直在聊天，吐槽这部电影，也许他们才是真正的天作之合
只看得出来他们是真的不想再拍下去了，而且这个借由回归老母亲怀抱最终与一切和解的结局，真是不能更加烂俗，一个标准的日式转向呢...一个时代的精神搏斗结束了，但下一代的叙事真的诞生了么？
当说出“再见了，所有的Evangelion”时忍不住哭，能打败破的只有终了
虽然好多年前就知道这部电影的名字是终止符，但没想到整部电影没别的，就在讲一次究极的告别，一个归于永寂的终止符。再见EVA，长大了，就这样。
其实这个结尾能在2020年上映后接东京奥运会还蛮好的？很好奇宅文化研究者们对这部的分析（我的几点好奇：阿宅们会不会有一种被抛弃的感觉？这个亚文化向往的是不是保守主义？讨人厌的平成过去了，令和真的会是昭和的翻版吗？）。我看个爽就完事了。
看不懂但大受震撼。好像从一个很长的梦里醒来，又好像没醒。
虽然我很想给这个少年的终结打满分，但是实在下不了手……固然剧情之胡逼一部分原因是Q的巨型翻车，但是很多剧情处理之业余，简直就是同人作品。另外这个吃屎结局，庵野老痞子真的已经没法跟他的观众共情了，他大概早就忘记了他当年的心境。FAKE。
像真嗣一样，当你开始理解碇源堂的时候，你就不是个小孩了。
看得我泪流满面。。这其实是EVA补完计划吧。。从此EVA的世界再无遗憾，从此人世间再无EVA。。我们的中二少年鼻祖碇真嗣终于成长了，长大了，所以我们心中的中二少年也可以长大了。。。然后那个严厉可怖的父亲其实也是一个中二少年，然后他也长大了。然后庵野秀明也长大了，不再扭捏刻薄。二十多年前第一次看EVA的我，是一个和剧中主角一样的14岁少年，如今完结的这一刻我37岁。EVA其实就是动漫届的寅次郎的故事，或者安拓万系列。它是必须用现实世界的时间长度来衡量感知的一套作品。观众如果没有随着作品发布的时间而成长，就不能真正体会故事时间线上那些细微的情感和态度变化。EVA是关于绝对领域的，所以它也是关于每一个观众如何凝视自己的内心。当然在最后，痞子主要还是想告诉我们，既然大家都终于长大了，可以安心滴去当上班族996了！
其他都蛮好的，就是男女主角的互动没有恋爱的感觉，就像文艺男女在伪装恋爱。还不如他们俩在《短剧开始啦》里的互动有感觉呢，看那部电视剧时总以为他俩最后会恋爱……有村架纯真美啊。
