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
雨天红car的新晋导演，非常俏皮，其实四星半
Just chill for a second.
相信现在这个分数应该是感情分居多，这部电影本身完全就是流水账，对于梅艳芳的人生每一个节点都是蜻蜓点水、一点而过，她的粉丝相信应该不会买单吧？最后身着婚纱的告别真的是直击泪点。
九泉之下，梅艳芳一定要被气死。各种情节衔接的莫名其妙去，如同纪录片各种散的片段，张国荣演员选的太差
曾遇上几多风雨翻，曾遇你真心的臂弯。对“香港的女儿”的缅怀，要客观评价不那么容易，有遗憾，作为传记片手法上平淡，但原型已经足够耀眼，夕阳之歌唱响每个瞬间直让人唏嘘。王丹妮年轻时期表演更具体，做到了形似而有自己见地
4月1日提前排练，老窦嫁女舞台告白；时代氛围还原点赞，故事避重就轻流水账，像让梅姐戴着脚镣跳了次返场舞；王丹妮很努力还原了，但梅姐本人不到几分钟的纪录片出场，气势一下就把新人压没了；八零后老儿童最喜欢的一首《IQ博士》，正片和彩蛋各cue一次，为此加多颗星星吧
有趣有爱、细腻的生活小品。年轻的男孩总是追不上他们梦想中的纯粹爱情。Justin vernon的音乐是惊喜
很私人化的一部电影，男女主的表演实在精彩，尤其是男主，总感觉他的眼睛里有光。
怎么说呢，影片本身真的不太行，整体太拼凑太流水账了，梅艳芳的选角还不错，但是张国荣的选角太失败了，从样貌到神韵都完全不像，非常出戏。看的过程中总是想到《波西米亚狂想曲》，感觉在模仿，但是又不如。最后收尾其实还不错，但这个好更多是梅艳芳本身的魅力与戏剧性带来的，很难归结到电影创作上。
多一星给自导自演，看看年轻人未来发展如何，不知道哪一部开始能跳出前几部这种模式
一星给演员，一星给美术妆化。演员很棒！梅姐的扮演者王丹妮，哥哥的演员刘俊谦，都很惊喜，拿捏的神态和气质非常到位。片中有很多真实影像的穿插，电影和真实之前撞击出很多唏嘘和感慨。导演太差了，梅姐的性格和情感一样都没拍出来。
拍得很是平庸，Leslie随便找个人乱演一下，又拿最惨痛一幕暴击我们。但梅艳芳已经蛮惨了，又不忍心看她比电影里更惨的人生。八了那个日本男朋友，我去，原来是百度词条“渣男”举例代表，电影也太美化了，梅艳芳死前还去见面也是真的。掌掴事件这种出几条人命的事，啥都不敢写，导致分手戏也毫无道理。无良梅妈也没出过场。这种传记片，还是等所有人都去世了再拍吧
其实插入越多真实影像对阿丹妮来说挺不公平的，越是听到他们的声音和看到过去的光辉魅力不减，越是怀念过去，而徒增当下时代的黯淡，比较像一部说明书而不是传记片…很多东西说明书是告诉不了你的，情感上真实影像和声音带来分离甚至输给那部粉丝电影…曾经有幸和这些群星时空伴随过的人难道需要这份说明书吗，即使给后来的人看可能也是失败的，只是一个相似的脸谱，恰恰没有把梅姐的个性魅力拍出来，当然也是好难，不如阿丹妮再拍部粉丝的可能会更好。以及请这个世纪暂时都不要拍哥哥谢谢啦。忽然很想重温我家拉米演的波西米亚狂想曲，那才叫一个上身才叫劲。R.I.P梅姐。
曾发誓这辈子再也不会主动看第二遍她的告别演唱会（以及她和哥哥的葬礼现场），果不其然，到结尾整个人已经哭抽，那声有力的“拜拜”捶得我心一阵钝痛。传记片拍得草草，太多无法出现的人和事，恰恰最能凸显她的性情，但我顶着这个昵称实在没办法打分。多经典的歌后，一霎眼已走；多风光的海岛，一秒变废土。我好挂住你，Anita。
看了路演。选角没问题的，神似比形似要重要得多。
古天乐演的不错啊，虽然不太知道刘培基到底是什么样的人，但是他一出来就有种大师级设计师的感觉，演技很到位，特别是最后帮梅艳芳设计婚纱的时候，俯身在桌旁设计，亲自刺绣，种种细节都让人很有代入感，实力演员就是不一样。
如果我的人生里能遇到Andrew这样的小太阳，那我一定是个幸运的人。
这电影名应该叫《香港人》。背后由梅艳芳张国荣串起是背后香港人的精神。古天乐演得好苦。这些都是他曾经的朋友现在已经走了快20年。有一句台词后半句忘了，如果你记起请告诉我“唱慢歌要唏嘘唱快歌要……”？她的声音和降央卓玛比，女中音的调子，女高音的音色，和成龙，梁朝伟，张学友都合唱过。
多一颗星是给这个时代还会拍“梅艳芳”缅怀香港女儿。但整部影片太过平庸：王丹妮应该是由头到尾配音，与同期声的古天乐林家栋杨千嬅好像两个时空对话；重要人物如罗文徐小凤等集体缺席，梅在娱乐圈唯一一个好友只有张国荣；按时间记叙流水账皆琐碎无重点，明明有大把真事却平添编剧敷演，如姊妹吃醋、近藤因事业悔爱；切入视角单一，王丹妮充斥镜头，没有香港娱乐黄金时代众生相一瞥，遑论按图索骥把玩细节；梅艳芳当年视频穿插其中却不得法，节奏断裂风格脱轨；梅艳芳鼻端下方人中旁边的一粒痣由头到尾在王丹妮脸上欠奉，但复刻《胭脂扣》时出现在如花脸上；王丹妮面相像第一届港姐冠军张玛丽，某个角度像tvb韩马利。
多一星给自导自演，看看年轻人未来发展如何，不知道哪一部开始能跳出前几部这种模式
