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
铺垫太长，看完还是云里雾里。全员大情种，为了自己的家庭破坏别人的家庭——这不会就叫男人的担当吧？xs
其实我对这类影片挺无感的，可能是观影之中比影片之人感到更寂寥，大片大片的荒漠充斥，人到底图个什么。扎克埃夫隆也是努力转型之中，不过还是喜欢参演歌舞电影。
萨姆·沃辛顿将主演惊悚片[掘金]。本片由安东尼·海耶斯执导，并与波莉·史密斯共同撰写剧本。该故事讲述两名男子穿越偏远沙漠，偶然发现了他们认为是迄今为止发现的最大金块。于是他们策划了一个挖掘宝藏的计划，一人交托了保护设备，另一人留在后方看护发现的金子。本片将于9月在南澳大利亚开拍。
这电影映射的当然是人性。不过，结合当下时事，我觉的也很对应。m国像极了男二，手握先进科技，看到哪国有资源或利益，就表面说是过来帮助他们实现民主和人权，然后制造理由，等待时机哄抢！赤裸裸的帝国资本主义！但又可笑的是，m国屡屡得逞！电影结尾一发箭只不过是一种美好想象罢了！现实中，它全世界的到处挑事，当下就在我们家门口炫耀。与这种人打交道，当真是比豺狼还可怕百倍！
美国影片讽刺本国政府的不少，生物战的更多，可惜都对实际没什么影响。生物实验室还是遍布全世界——感觉享受强大的美国人其实不再乎其它地方的人。
一个概念的场景，一个戏剧的事件，及两个贪婪的人。
一个和尚有水喝，两个和尚没水喝，这个道理看来适用所有人。从信任，背叛，贪婪到扼杀，最后还有大自然的因素，沙尘暴和鬣狗团。躲得过初一躲不过十五，一切根源都是因果。搭配冷色调的画面，揭示了人性的寓言故事。最后的➹则是螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后的道理。
星际迷航船长老点更帅，悲剧男主味道浓郁。节奏镜头都很好，全剧很安静，对白很少讲得明明白白，有仇报了就完了，好看！
拍的其实挺好 可惜该展开的地方太短 该省略的地方太长 不然感觉可以提名伤残老兵版杰森伯恩
最近电影有个趋势——简单的故事，优秀的叙述方式。
合格的亚马逊电影。与其说是动作片，不如其对士兵为国家机器卖命却被随意弃置的讽刺之重。电影里没有一个人是赢家。主题很深刻，可惜的是自身故事没交代明白，带了硬伤：到最后也没说明为什么私人承包商组织要杀男主。
开头司机用石头砸死了垂死挣扎即将被另一条鬣狗咬死的伤狗，就暗示此人非善类。最后蠢汉被鬣狗咬死了，司机被人射箭杀死了，故事告诉我们：我族土地上的黄金怎么能让外人随随便便拿走，要想掘金走，留下两人头！
太简单无聊的电影了。 陌生人之间的信任几乎为0。 男主人公的智商几乎为0。
看来大家短评都有同感，前半部铺垫实在不错，后来生硬的转折，派恩什么事情都照规矩办了，也没有任何反叛或者质疑，为啥就用完即弃？所以，这不是老套，这是敷衍！
派恩和本福斯特之前的赴汤蹈很棒，这部前半段还是“兄弟情谊”但是有部分还是有点逻辑混乱，起伏都太刻意，不知道是剧本的问题还是导演没把握好。有几个镜头还是不错的，感觉是用了IMAX摄影机
其实不能算惊悚片，只是一部简简单单的剧情片而已，两个人，一大块金字，一处沙漠，但一个贫穷的人突然遭遇富有，人性中的丑陋和贪婪都暴露无遗，可惜的是没有智慧，究竟总归是徒劳。
还以为是谍影重重的翻拍版，后面的桥段有点糊弄了，完全不考究。
最后本福斯特演的角色，要是不死，就完美了，为了兄弟，与老板决裂，6分
扎克•埃夫隆为了摆脱花瓶形象的转型之作，不知道是不是量身打造的剧本。前半程不错 还弄不清虚实，后半程演得有点弱智和编得越来越刻意了。两个配角纯纯的工具人，全为了衬托扎克的独角戏和为结局打圆场。悬疑保持的不错，可以一看的片子。
同样是老兵被党国遗弃体裁，与《勇闯夺命岛》仍是差一大截，那可是差不多20年前的片子了。
