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
我爱爆米花！爆米花爱我！忙完一天真的需要这种爽片来套路一下自己疲惫的身体。长发男主真的好像鲁妮·玛拉我全程出戏。。。
完整又有独立性，加上教室念尤利西斯那段可以打个8分吧。
7。其实还挺有意思的，中间段谈恋爱这块感觉剧情有点篇幅过长。3个主演表现力还行，少点青春片剧情内容就更好了。去婚礼抢自己鼓手那段实在过于搞笑
看心理医生的时候发现医生是你的偶像，并且他告诉你你没病。哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！
我是金属党，所以多给一星。片子拍的是真烂啊！
虽然看到片名就知道了大概的剧情，无非就是相互扶持共同成长，叛逆的收敛了，懦弱的勇敢了，堪称美式合家欢。不过比较难得的是演员都很真诚，所以不像其他的音乐电影那么出戏。但作为金属题材，只能说用了金属这个噱头，对于内核的探讨比较浅，不过这也是大多数人所能接受的互相妥协。金属老炮们出来现身说法，简直就是美式主旋律。整体没什么亮点，但也没太大毛病。三位主演都挺年轻，但是很有灵气。
美国缝纫机乐队。完全儿童剧，夹杂几个毫无必要的裸露镜头和嗑药内容。
女主好好看大提琴摇滚好耶
以暴力为手段，以自由为诉求，谋求平等。部长的白人女儿，这一段是改编还是真实？
两分钟后添加:阿德里安是我喜欢的可爱男孩儿
虽然他们乐队的经历比大多乐队的经历干净多了，没有吸毒，没有乱搞，但他们还是有搞砸一切的能力，幸好迷途知返
大提琴拉起来真是酷，尤其是女生。。。就饭吃看看就算了的电影
一部中二氣質爆棚的音樂青春片。雖然他們樂隊的經歴比大多樂隊的經歴幹凈多了，沒有吸毒，沒有亂搞，但他們還是有搞砸一切的能力，幸好迷途知返，泳池四大前輩出來勸男主別當渣男的那段真是笑死我了。這不太像是金屬的反抗，倒像是青春期的反抗。年輕是真好啊，可以為了自己喜歡的東西不顧一切，友誼也會堅如磐石。
青春片，幸好没有国产三件套。
生命诚可贵，爱情价更高。若为自由故，二者皆可抛。
smell like a teen spirit
没有新颖
很少看南非电影。明显看出前面动作场面没花啥钱，效果还可以，简陋中看出调度功力。后面故事很吸引人，算是劫持人质类电影蛮不错的
自由的代价是什么？“一切”！节奏有点拖，再紧凑一些更好
重金属外衣下的青春碰撞，不算音乐片，当作青春片来看还是不错的，友情爱情，果然玩金属的还是内心细腻的腼腆人，整体还不错，会玩乐器真的好酷！
