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
最明显的证据，就是以副督察为主角，围绕他编织的故事，反讽力度一般，而那些受害者面对的真正困境，缺乏有力的刻画和展现，那才是本片的核心诉求，只可惜再次沦落为故事技巧下的牺牲品。
这种片子不太适合给身边人安利，因为你不知道谁是那种看《战狼》会看到肾上腺素飙升的主。
印度在题材上的大胆和韩国电影不相上下。真是让我们望尘莫及。
机器人陪伴末日人类，并埋葬人类的故事，还有一条狗，可以拍的更好，也许芬奇该问问杰夫：“要是我（人类）不在了，你有什么打算？”杰夫：“……（我水平不够编不出）”，多一些类似这样的探讨会让影片更深刻
一波三折，不断反转，剧情有些复杂，涉及很多案子，似乎还有下一部
非我等动动笔杆、喊喊口号的“理论家”所能企及
题材是好题材，但是电影的节奏太奇怪了，印度的特色还是怎么呢，前一个小时太无聊了，背景没必要铺陈这么久，直接从庭审开始就可以，但是又感觉后面破案也没有那么燃，真的不够吸引我眼球，7分吧，如果改编得精简有力也许分数更好
jeff和finch拥抱的时候彻底破防了…老汤就是有这样的能力，总是能让我感动的稀里哗啦。结局其实充满了希望…希望如此吧
真相…
印度的电影风格自成一派，如果它没有那么多不必要的歌舞，它还是一部非常犀利的片子
上一个这么好哭又好笑的机器人还是Wall-E，再上一个是T-800。好莱坞惯会的就是新瓶装旧酒，但有些时候不得不承认别人的瓶子的确好看。
创作者的技法显然都撑不起表达欲，
你遇到各种事 你无法控制的事 你会有原始的情绪 在这种时候 如何应对 采取何种行动 将定义你是谁
电影的主题意义很值得褒奖，虽然有点贪心得想用一个事件把印度的社会问题给尽可能多得给塞进去，女性地位，媒体操纵舆论，制度体系崩塌，政治黑暗，阶级种姓，校园剥削，可能还有我漏掉的，虽然多，但本质上的确是互相勾连的，这种激烈的方式也真的很容易得到共鸣，印度电影在政治选题上的民主自由度和韩影有的一拼，直接且血淋淋。
前段是《杰伊比姆》式的社会罪案题材悬疑片，但到了最后一个小时开始狂飙突进，大概一口气塞了十个热搜事件和阴谋论、五个颠覆全片级别的反转、以及超过两部电视剧的信息量。性别议题、阶层议题、教育问题、白手套、竞选阴谋论、舆论操控、复仇、政治陷害……每个主题单拿出来都能拍成佳作，就生生全部缝合到了同一部电影里。如此“敢拍”的确是值得崇敬，但这种全靠最初级的闪回和慢镜煽情拍法编织起的高密度强情节也确实是有点极端。
其实……依然有网大内容撑不起来的毛病，这个概念总觉得没讲好
社恐福利，适合一个人看的公路片。二十年后，陪伴他的从排球变成了机器人。汤姆•汉克斯，从阿甘一路跑来，见证了帝国的衰落。
观感减分地方真的很多，配乐瞎起，演技也不行。但是我们的电影技法明明比印度成熟那么多，高明的导演也多那么多。唉
以为是讨论程序正当的话题，法律牵扯上媒体和政治革命以及女权保护、导师压榨论文机器，真是大餐。政治家最大的武器是利用公众的情感。既白虎后又一力作，印度越来越敢拍。为大尺度+★
脱开电影说一句题外话，如果毕志飞还想继续拍摄多主角电影，可以来这部电影里面取经。
