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
所以结局才那么好，在割裂中找到平衡。狮头挂在那里，生活依旧，梦却也在延续。
剧作蹩脚，刻意煽情高燃，新意远远谈不上，映后场直接跑路。@金逸影城杜比影院超前观影
梦想和现实哪个更重要我不知道，但阿强的经历告诉我：一个人老了以后，不会后悔做了什么，只会后悔没做什么。
那么，你到底是黑暗，或是在黑暗中等待光，还是做一束照亮黑暗的光！
speechless... but there is hope and justice. ironically though, in blackwater, it takes years in a modern western world. and then there is also
当导演想在现实情况和电影艺术表达中寻求一个平衡的时候，一切悲怆的情绪爆发，一个英雄般的人物诞生，这个电影就感性了。#8.0分#

为啥少一颗星呢，紧张程度还是少一些。全靠剧情支撑。印度黑暗，一点点再改变，希望我们也是。
3.5。事件意义大于电影本身，四星可以打给这个意义以及各种引申思考的。就电影而言，前半段刑讯逼供戏的尺度和篇幅大到撕心裂肺令人发指，后半段正义的伸张又过于顺利，有点让人纳闷，挑战这种固化的难度似乎太低了。
接受一下贫下农再教育。很想知道印度基层党组织的情况到底怎样了。
罪犯不精明，案件也并不惊天，但是印度推进剧情的能力太厉害了，节奏掌握的游刃有余，急缓张驰有度，慢的唱歌，快的燃爆的BGM，让你两个多小时视听都被牵着走！
看到妈妈的抗争与那么多人对正义的维护，小女孩以后会更有自信吧。
值得去影院贡献下票房，周星驰、五条人、九连真人……虽然优缺点都非常明显，而如何平衡故事与技术上的差距依旧是国产动画的漫漫长路；后半段优于前半段，特别是少年推开天台的门开始，一气呵成。到最后，总是哭着求神拜佛的少年终于化为雄狮，上山下山，路自在脚下。
「豆友评论：印度有希望，至少他们敢把这几个词拿出来拍电影。电影的伟大之处在于创造奇迹，就像梦，虽然现实黑暗，但如果没有梦，会更绝望吧！」「豆友评论：世界因律师这样伟大的人变得更美好！」
第三幕我给满分，真厉害！
一个角度：那么几部印度片看下来让我觉得，有些宗教是真的害人。
台詞極其低幼，情節極其套路——對五條人歌曲的大量運用，不過是借用一點廣東縣城的感覺，五條人同影片直露傳達的好鬥進取、艱苦創業進而逆天改命的理念不說截然相反，也可以說毫無關聯。當然，結尾對跳最高樁的結果和植物人父親醒來的表達收了一下、顯得模糊，彩蛋則顯示舞獅並未真正改變主人公打工人的命運，約可讓人善意地理解整部影片的正能量或許未必完全出自編導的自由意志。此外，暫且不論廣東社會的實況究竟如何，影片的表達對於女性可謂極度不友善：社會和舞獅行業堵死了女性的上升空間，技能再高超也僅可充當花瓶並早早退居二線；男性舞獅明星則將中年後的泯然眾人歸咎於以妻子為唯一代表的回歸家庭和事業的壓力，其重整旗鼓則建立在女性痛徹心扉的“悔悟”及全然擔下他的那份家庭責任的前提下。2021年12月4日14:30於太古倉3號廳，點映。
作为马保国老师的铁粉，多一星给那句“我大意了啊，没有闪”。
对于国漫来说，技术早就不是最大的问题了，审美和故事才是。人太丑了啊，太丑了，还是每一个都丑……故事太旧太馊太硬了，周星驰能气吐血那种。
气到爆炸又惨到心疼。人可以坏到什么地步，细思之下这样的恶其实哪儿有（麦叔的狩猎blabla更让人心寒。还在总有光照进来那就是有裂缝的地方，无论是警察律师老师，总有人正愿意fight against邪，所以才有希望。。btw印度能把它拍出来，也算敢作敢当吧
