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
有几个点还是蛮感动的，但总体觉得还是略平淡了点，没能深挖出一些更具思辨意义的东西。另外我个人不太喜欢的一点是，整个片子从男主的人设，他身边的一切，乃至摄影，美术，都实在有些太“完美”了。就像很多人都同样感觉到的那样，整部片子的质感就很苹果。像苹果广告里会出现的场景，lifestyle，景色………就实在有些过于干净高级。感觉不到真实，就很难共情，起码对我来说是这样。但我喜欢这个讨论“是自我还是自私”的命题，以及最后这个足够棒的结局。
那锁住我生命的沉重枷锁
导演对科技的幻想不够充分，又对人性的美好过于乐观。事实上，没有人会希望自己被“另一个人”彻底取代，甚至连自己的死亡都不在这世上留下任何痕迹。
克隆在科幻电影中已然不再是什么新鲜题材，但《天鹅挽歌》的不同，则在于电影既没有结论，也不做批判，它只是用细腻的情感表达将一个告别的故事，赋予了最为“无私”的形态。面对即将不久于人世的现实，是让深爱的人同样陷入巨大的悲痛，还是用克隆人替代自己，孤独死去？两难抉择下关于爱的挽歌，感人至深。
人之将死其言也善。但是托付给克隆的自己，总觉得怪怪的，尤其是这人眼睛里有摄像头，那他岂不是属于科技公司？
最后我会在自己的心里安息
类似克隆题材已经很多了，与过往不同的是，故事的内容更新出了相对无害的理想结果，组合了“身体克隆和思维上载”两个重点为一体，合成出相对完美的生命延续体。 始终相信不久的未来，这样的选择将成为必将面对的现实。 如果可以这样完美的交接，何尝不是种选择。 但其他影片中也曾阐述了另一个问题～阶层始终存在，技术不是问题的时候，如此美好的身后故事，要用什么物质代价来付费呢。
喜欢小丑女的鲜花时刻，以及其他所有她出镜的时刻，其他的我就不说了。

苹果智能产品概念展望。随着科技社会发展，人活得越来越像机器。克隆人代替品属老题材，记忆移植等同永生，记忆篡改、无备份相当于死去。虽有道德触碰，只是我觉得它完全可以公开，交代好后事，终结也不是可怕的事情。★★★☆/7.1
2星，一个披着科幻概念的人性片，主要就是讨论人性与科技的碰撞。比较文艺，很多不合理之处可以忽略。
极具风格的电影，画面考究，表演精彩，就是性冷淡味道很重，让我联想到《her》和《龙虾》，真不愧是Apple TV上的资源，和谐，男主在我看来，优柔寡断，既然做了选择，就要愿赌服输，搞得人人不得安宁，要么你就啥也别做，在家等死吧，这个设定有很多自相矛盾的地方，不鸡蛋里挑骨头了，说实话看到男主脑袋上两个同步贴片的时候，这不就是买了部新手机嘛？重做完系统再导入数据！爱与亲人又一次伟大！
这只软萌萌的邪恶的反派，曾经也是个天真烂漫，喜爱自由的小可爱呀。
虽然整个设定其实有点经不起推敲，但是导演对情感的把控还是很到位的，非常细腻动人
主题可以很大，而实际上主要只是以爱起始的简单抒情。
Look at me in the eyes and tell me you love me.
PRINCE ALI又有新作啦~一出手就是杰作😄虽然克隆人伦理被玩的有点烂，但这剧拍的如同舒缓清新的文艺小品，演技太好了😘他和Naomie Harris非常有化学反应
这种温情脉脉的改命，不也是一种傲慢么，避免家人承担自己身亡的痛苦就一定是爱么
避開了倫理矛盾，取而代之的是寡淡溫吞的情感，出戲之餘更在意bug，爲什麽摔倒時手錶沒報警（這還是蘋果出品的電影），爲什麽隱形眼鏡視頻沒眨眼。
看到一半我还以为有惊悚的走向，这虚晃一枪拍的够有气氛的。
