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
8.0/10.0 心脏外科医生好性感嘤嘤嘤～
无论发生什么，我们都应该以一种平等、公正、无畏的态度去面对这个世界。
一个小镇接待7千多911事件影响下不能回国的人，温暖又感动！
天空比北极更为黑暗
12名演员，演出了120个人同台的架势，太喜欢女机长！
911事件衍生出来的一个温暖的故事，表现力非常强的音乐舞台剧。女机长的独唱最好听，为全片最佳体验时段不解释。非常期待能改编拍成现实场景的影片。
最后的半小时有点过于正面积极主旋律，让人有点情绪上接不住之外，前面的编排太妙了，简简单单的一些小动作，就可以勾勒出飞机上，户外，学校里，市议会各种场景，好厉害啊
管制中心那段太真实了，航空用语非常标准
过度煽情，但眼泪不值钱，歌不错，特别是机长姐姐那首。
机长原型说她看了这部戏101次，它没有让人沉溺在悲伤里喘不过气。自始至终靠的是人性本身的脆弱、敏感、真实和温暖在打动观众。911过去了二十年，但人类还是有点希望的，不是吗？
看过的第一部电影形式的歌舞剧，911并没在我年少的记忆力留下只字片语，简单被归类为“其他国家”“恐怖袭击”，却从未想过其他连锁事件还有如此影响力。一方舞台，十几演员，多想让世界就此停止旋转。人之所以称为人，人性虽不分国籍，但只有在灾难前才能彰显。
看前半个小时的时候感觉特别惊艳，后面渐渐就有些腻乏了
看过现场，重看官摄还是很激动。记忆全部都回来了。有几个演员是发福了啊😂
终于看到官摄
比想象的欢乐，虽然有些笑点没get到。基于911背景的真实故事，又是疫情期间百老汇恢复的第一次演出，现实意义远大于内容。作为一部音乐剧，感觉唱段有点少，也没有太令人印象深刻的曲子。机长的高音真是又稳又轻松，Diane那段I'm here也很棒
舞台剧 适合一口气看完，服化道具细节 情感氛围演绎到位
形式太有意思了，音乐剧真的拥有无限张力，安慰生活在2020年以后的我，那首Prayer太震撼了，Me and the sky机长好帅气。
因女机长的独白而入坑。前阵疫情的额济纳旗小县城，和剧中的小镇多么相像！
太太太好看了
