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
但是后面的几个人疯狂的在打哈欠……
每次看唐顿无论是剧集还是“电影”，都有一种小时候看TVB或者香港贺岁片的感觉，剧情很紧凑，节奏也快，像是在吃麻辣烫，各种串串加上味精调料摆你面前。这部电影版为了强调自己真的是电影，把电影发展史都加进来了，作为影迷，我表示——没有被“按摩”到。贵族太太的声音比底层出生电影女明星的声音更适合上电影，且那位底层出生的电影女明星就要被塑造成粗鄙无礼，这种设定我本身就不是很喜欢，似乎隐隐暗示：新技术的到来，反而让底层（口音）“原形毕露”，这个世界终究是贵族阶层的。无论唐顿把楼上楼下的关系描写的多么其乐融融，但那种阶级内核是不会消融在贵族太太和老爷们的浅笑盈盈里的。这也就是为什么我觉得她像TVB，用“一家人齐齐整整”来粉饰内在的保守封建的气质。
十年前，2012年，我仍然记得那晚，妈妈在厨房做凉皮给我吃，我打开了唐顿。
有笑有泪，有高有低，有血有肉，每个人都很灵动，每个人都在自己的人生范围内演绎自己的悲喜人生。
随着音乐响起，缓缓出现那片绿草坪，出现Downton，感觉一下子就来了，剧情什么的都不重要了。不过电影拍摄和法国南部风情都蛮有意思的。老太太走了，这个系列应该真的结束了吧。托马斯的戏份应该是删了，等着线上再看一遍。

其实就是一部元素满满的合家欢电影，但还是可以为了情怀多给一颗星。不管是有声电影拍摄还是别墅秘密都很类型化套路化，重要的是可以看到英国亲戚。距离看剧已经过去了那么久，看的时候重新不住地想起曾经Mary的冷漠和Thomas的毒舌，想起曾经边缘的Edith和温柔的Matthew。时至今日一切都和解，但依旧可以看到老夫人的幽默风趣以及老管家对大小姐亲人般的爱。最初看唐顿那种远观old money的感觉早就不在了，我只是在看生动鲜活的他们开启新的生活。看到第一部电影版Lady Mary掌权以为已经算是大结局了，没想到还会有这部。还是且看且珍惜吧。
老妇人年轻的时候一定是个非常有魅力的lady啊
一个婚礼，一个葬礼。一场电影，一座别墅。new era 仅仅指一位老人死去，一个婴儿出生。时代还停留在两战之间，还没拍到二战呢，所以还可能有续集。作为追完全系列剧集和第一部电影的人，还是先花了半小时才逐一认清脸，并回忆起每张脸的前世今生，理清复杂的人物关系网。然后才欣赏家长里短和精美的英式贵族台词。编剧对唐家屯这一icon群像戏已经驾轻就熟，按部就班，粉丝只要follow就行了。
傲娇又不羁的大小姐，成为坚韧又睿智的当家；别扭又拧巴的二小姐，成为了职业家庭双丰收的独立女性。原本冷冷清清、四分五裂的克劳利家族，成了儿女成群的大家庭，仆人也各自有了好归属。

老太太终于完成了历史使命，退出了历史舞台，剧情没有跌宕起伏，还是电视剧好看
还是一如既往喜欢大小姐😍😍😍
一个时代的落幕。Mary也许会成为另一个granny，但没有人可以替代这一个granny。
纯粉丝向电影，对新观众来讲就是冗长平淡乏味的两个小时。
完美的谢幕！始于婚礼终于葬礼！给每一个人一个最合适的归宿（情感的、价值的归宿），同时直面人生的诱惑，但发乎情止乎礼（从老夫人年轻时的一段情到长公主和导演的惺惺相惜），这就是任何一个历史悠久的文化最让人尊敬的地方吧！每一句台词都彬彬有礼而又潜台词丰富，值得细看再看！“I can’t pretend I’m not relieved. ”“I can’t pretend I’m not insulted .”“她脾气怎么变好了？”“因为她不再害怕了。”记得电影第一部在影院看，觉得不如等资源，第二部资源等到了，遗憾未在影院看，但也因此幸运地没有错过托马斯同性恋爱的美好归宿。想来新纪元的三十年代过去快一百年，我们的影院还在对同性情节下剪刀手！再次感慨，英国人的演技举世无双啊！
看前三分之二的时候想，如果收尾不够精彩就是轻松愉快的四星片了。然后，就看到朱利安式的完美结局：时代的更替，表现在有声电影的进场，上世纪财产的归属变更，阶级在胶片造梦机中的模糊，往事的处置和摊牌，以及，肉身的更迭……
要说人生赢家还得是人家老夫人 一辈子啥啥都见过了 真好 Mary这过得是丧偶的日子啊 马修古迪这次干脆连面儿都不露了 我强烈支持Mary休了他再找！缅怀大表哥那段儿真的是爱情最好的模样了
她们都老了，可能这就是系列剧的意义，剧里的人，也一起和我们变老。如中所说：生活，就是接收意料之外
感觉更像是一部主线无关的番外，虽然唐顿跟随世界迎来了新的时代，但还是希望能继续保持优雅平和的气质，而不是在纷纷乱乱的新世界中丧失自己的步调。
