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
和她一起看的第六十八部电影。时隔两年后一起走进老家电影院，电影承袭上一部的品质，并且更能体现徐克的风格，唯一遗憾的是在电影开始小吴没能在娃娃机里抓到一个娃娃。
总体比前一部耐看，不知道是不是换回一个导演的缘故。“第七穿插连，应到一百五十七人，实到一人。”他们经历了抗日战争、解放战争、抗美援朝，一代人替我们几代人经受了苦难，中国共产党万岁！中国人民志愿军万岁！革命烈士永垂不朽！！！
有个观众说，看完《水门桥》后认为中国一定要搞好工业。我都觉得这是个好主题。可惜这部片子也不能往这里拍。
就一直拉着他手看的，很惨烈，所以，反而不知道要说什么
开头接着上一部刚玩的战场，马上奔赴下一站，说真的，我都还没弄清楚怎么回事，就又和美军打起来了看，然后就是死人胜利马上又打起来。
“起来 不愿做奴隶的人们 把我们的血肉筑成我们新的长城”
据说比第一部好哭，准备了一包纸巾，只用了一张。并没有很好哭，也没觉得比第一部好。
感觉不如第一部了，没哭出来，有点像以前玩过的射击游戏。能够想到从水管进入泵房真是厉害！
对于人物，烘托人物关系的“情”不细致、容易疲倦；有人物弧光变化的，例如伍万里对于战争认识——从杀敌到战争人性，但影片强调的“英雄”概念仍在，虽然英雄肉体会亡，但精神高尚永存，最后伍千里的重新出现特别像《大路》里对于无产阶级革命者的诠释。
球球了，可以美化自己，但千万不要将敌人降智
我听到的太多是"所有人就地隐蔽不许开枪"强弱悬殊上面机械上的优势被反复扩大。
特别好，就是我特别特别想你
这叫什么主旋律呢？主旋律是用来宣传的，而这是一段真实的历史…不说应该，只是希望每一个人都可以铭记它…不要忘记那些十几二十岁就献出宝贵生命的先辈们，可能不是为了你个人，但确实是换来了如今的我们…这种舍身取义，我做不到，但不否认有人可以做到，他们叫做英雄，值得被铭记！
全剧唯一感动我的就是最后那句“我希望恢复七连建制”。不能说不精彩，但是有些地方的夸张导致第一时间是疑惑，而不是感动。
伍千里每一次发布任务都会心酸，都知道九死一生但是为了为了祖国不得不安排任务，那场面每一次都令人动容
易烊千玺太可塑造了！然而我讨厌战争讨厌战争片
无论如何要给满分！为这段历史，为这些英雄！
太好哭了，祖国的强大在于有着无数人的前仆后继
志愿军战士永垂不朽！美帝打朝鲜战争时已经富了100多年，当时的工业全球第一，三次舍生忘死的炸桥，美帝最后用两天在日本赶制钢板空运到水门桥一铺就过桥了。能够取得胜利，靠的是英勇无畏的精神！72年过去，国人当自强，科技创新迎头赶上。
热泪盈眶，心情久久难平。
