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
这竟然是部女权电影！这当然是部女权电影！缺位也是一种表达，忽视也是一种控诉。
罹患绝症的画家，担心妻子难以承受打击，决定用完美的克隆人代替自己。但他慢慢意识到一个残酷的事实：这家人将快乐地生活下去，而自己将孤独而死并被永远遗忘。爱的无私，不在于你知道我为你做了什么，而在于你不知道我为你做了什么。
剧情重复三遍，我觉得有点啰嗦，后来才知道这是一种电影拍摄方法。很奇特的是，我竟然对坏人Adam Driver产生同情感，进而对Adam Driver开始欣赏起来。
没孩子的时候什么都不怕，有了孩子反而接受了不公的世道。丈夫打败了强奸者，朱迪科默眼里的层次，足够女演员学个十年八年了。
演员都挺好，但前半部分rush后半部分拖沓
事件三方，不同角度叙事的风格，比想象的好一点。
我一直以为丈夫是丑男 看完才发现是马达?只能说古代装扮真的不显他 演员阵容真的有点豪华
中规中矩的水准之作，没有太多惊喜，但质量没话说，三位主角的演技也都统统在线。三个章节三个视角，细微的差异让重复变得富有层次。在大量的铺垫后，最后的决战戏也足够精彩。朱迪科默的注视下，那《角斗士》般的生死决斗显得如此丑陋，讽刺至极。决斗场上的一次次激烈的反转，早已没人在乎这两个雄性动物的优劣，只剩对朱迪科默的担忧。结果为何已不重要，父权制下的女性命运在这场决斗中被丢上了决斗场，身不由己的痛苦在一次次拉扯中被无限放大。
看着它的眼睛听我说，我爱你！！
前面好长的铺垫都是说领土问题、政治问题……看的时候观感还行……直到第三部分故事的重点才放到了“女主”身上，这一段故事很简单，把女主因为遭遇强奸而捍卫自己的权利一一剖析，导演编剧也做到了尊重历史，剧本贴合历史地为观众揭示了古代男权统治下的顽固思想、君主专制制度的专权、法国贵族的淫乱生活等 PS:能在一群老戏骨里看到Alex Lawther的戏份相当快乐，演什么像什么大概就是说他这种演员了！不得不说很多英国演员真的是绝绝子！我看好他！
西部片里经常决斗。
看得我拳头紧握咬牙切齿眼泪直流 fuck patriarchy fuck god fuck all men🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬Jodie演得太好了
看了三分之一我终于知道为什么票房低了，用多重视角来讲故事我觉得完全没问题，但是这个故事本身用多重视角其实并不增加可看性或者趣味性，它开始讲第二遍的时候我都觉得有点难以接受。但老雷做导演的功力还是强的，而且演员们也都很老练，剧本是本马达联手写的这已经很不常见了。
ps: jodie的小眼神总是让人出戏，但是在chapter3里还是演技在线的🥺
作为科幻的创意不算新鲜，但故事重点更多在人文情怀。这类未来科技走进平常人生活的故事相比前些年已经大量淡化了惊悚元素、更多以理性的态度来探讨科技的影响，可以说未来即是现在。
所以如果无缝衔接 完美复制
苹果公司制作，一场对科技取代人类裹挟的美化，其心可榷。为什么人死了其周围的人没有权利选择新的生活？这不是死者的全能自恋与自私么。但是转念一想，如果阿珉去世前弄了这么个玩意儿取代自己，我应该不会像现在这么难过吧。但又转念一想，没有人能取代阿珉阿？？？她留下的“人”已经不是她了，又有什么意义呢？我不愿接受一个长得和她一模一样的人，我只想要她。
扎扎实实的剧本和摄影，章节层层推进，在最后一刻大爆发，可怕的是施暴者在最后一刻仍没有任何悔意，其实我本以为达蒙会输，那样结局会更加荒诞悲凉，可是在人们簇拥着达蒙向前时，又是另一种说不清感觉的荒诞
多重视角叙述用在电影里原来是这种效果，还是有些不必要却又免不了的重复。想起昆德拉的玩笑。
好 真的好 虽然是个罗生门式叙事但并没不玩高深不玩暗示不玩隐喻 是那种浅显的与民同乐的好 同时还也有精彩故事有现实意义 大本和马达参与编剧又是一层乐趣 真·娱乐大片
