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
我实在是太喜欢原版了，所以重点关注的是美版的本土化修改：渔夫比农夫身份的不便更多了，冲突升级；竞选的戏份删除了，妈妈的美沦为了性的笑料；老师的人设也不饱满了，教私课的动机不那么充分。好在最后的那首歌有含蓄的美，不过法版对于M. Sardou的致敬更添感动。
【D】抱歉，感觉就是那种充满套路化的“温暖人心”式贵物，为了“治愈”而治愈，为了感动而感动…看完只感觉被pua了2小时😰
表演太加分了，感情真挚，剧本小细节写的好，虽然说BP有点太过，仍然不失是一部佳片
聋哑家庭的健全女孩 很难想象的生活 家庭和成长 有几幕拍的真好
喜欢爸爸的每一件卡哈特，让我更有信心身上这些破布至少还能再撑十年～
新一届的奥斯卡最佳，它注定不会永垂不朽，甚至都算不上经典，但确实挺好看。
现在看什么好莱坞电影都觉得太模式化了，我怕是有什么大病。全片看完就是一部很工整的美利坚主旋律电影，颁奖季少不了这种类型的。
得力于原著本子的扎实，改编后依旧是佳作，但没想到能问鼎最佳影片，或许在疫情，战争大背景下，在所有提名的影片中，她最能带给我们希望。
还不错的一部温情电影，但奥斯卡......呃，感觉还是有点太简单了，感觉像去高档餐厅吃饭，老板端出来一盘超好吃的猪排饭，也美味也有营养，就是差点意思。特别是电影关于残障人士困境的处理，轻轻松松一笔带过，不知道怎么的问题就全都迎刃而解了，实在有点欠缺说服力。优点是暖心还好听。
相比原版角色丰满了许多，节奏也加快了，更符合美国人的行为逻辑，很完美的改编。
看之前觉得估计一般希望打脸，看完比预想的还更不咋地，就这还是翻拍，想看原版了，既不好笑也不感人…戏剧冲突本身就不合理，那个女孩明明每天都需要帮家里做事，一旦有别的安排，从来不通知别人，这合理吗？？尊重别人吗？？
居然超越原版了，那段伯克利面试真得太太太催泪了，奥斯卡最佳影片实至名归，看完太正能量满满了，最后那个车窗回眸手势简直太爱了！
即便放在今年也不算特别有BP相的电影 场调 人文 甚至剧本都和领跑的「THE POWER OF THE DOG」不在一个段位上 但颁奖礼实在太久没有这样温情的家庭剧作参战了 上一次有印象的甚至要追溯到12年前的「THE BLIND SIDE」一家人因为身体的缺陷去经历 去克服 去扶持 几场冲突不长 也结束得很快 看得眼泪一波接一波 既自私又无私 既温暖又现实 满怀爱的故事配上扎实的表演没法让人无动于衷 更何况在当下 在此时 “在一起”就是最大最难的主题 照这个势头还挺有可能走到最后拿下BP
3.5。看到一半惊觉情节与法国家庭喜剧《贝利叶一家》别无二致，一查果然是买了版权进行了更符合美式价值主流的本土化改编，那些法式喜剧贯有的插科打诨、冷幽默、黄段子也被处理地收敛不少，整体基调少了些许轻盈多了几分沉重（如法版父亲为保农场竞选市长改为美版全家为打渔生计奔波）。最感动的莫过于聋哑父母视角下的无声演唱与父亲摸着女儿的喉结感知音乐，这两段简直堪称无敌催泪大杀器，无论看多少遍都会被触动。
旦除非你做好本分 否则我什么也做：
一部很常规的励志青春片，虽然我在爸爸摸女儿喉咙寻求共振体会歌声的时候的确流泪了，但如果这是奥斯卡最佳，还是翻拍的，就……给不了太高分了
真好，如果你静下心来进入角色用心去看这部片子，就如同父亲用手去感受女儿的歌声一样。
观影时几度落泪。「你跟我不一样，你勇敢多了。」沉默的争执和和解，用手语唱出对家人的爱。
还真是美国本土化了一下，真实感感觉不如法国版，但是故事依然很感人。。。
和法国原版之比，如同“垃圾食品”不能说它不好，多了肯定不好。
