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
疫情只是稻草，风吹动稻草的时候那声音是不是也很大？每一根稻草压在不同的人身上，太沉重了。还有的选的人，就还能活下去
「“每个人都有难堪的过去，只是大小不同而已！”」
提心吊胆看完，一直好怕掉下来最后一根稻草。蛇那一段好好，学到了什么叫“理解”，但希望自己一生不要用上。 看得我很感激我妈这么多年都很坚强，看到最后，觉得我也得好好的 健康的活着。
就像宣传的那样，这是一部黑色的侦探电影。期待罗伯特下海的，等第二部吧！
恭喜DC，狠狠扳回一城。
「“每个人都有难堪的过去，只是大小不同而已！”」
观感是喜忧参半的。电影探讨的是突如其来的变故对家庭生活的影响，很多象征和指向，不过也有些刻意和割裂，时而真实的不像话，时而荒诞的想吐槽，把这两种风格放在一起就很别扭和矛盾，越到后面越觉得冗长，幸亏有一些神来之笔。贾静雯王净发挥差不多，前者胜出还是因为经得住特写的表演很多，这在评审团评奖里很具有优势。
千万不要和诺兰的比 因为完全不是一个路数 这部电影里有好几个镜头会成为经典
镜头还是很有《阳光普照》那个风范的。
DC的镜头设计真的一直强过漫威，不依赖特效也经常拍出的空灵、崇高、神秘和宗教感。蝙蝠侠最后硬吃一发霰弹被击倒真的没必要，设计得太莽了，一转身突然中弹不好吗？猫女的哈莉贝瑞版既视感还挺强的。3小时能看下来没厕所时间说明剧情还是在线的，对新影迷也比较友好，哥谭和反派的疯狂演绎的比较到位，就是准市长又中弹又泡水的还能走得动，建议发展为新超英。
3.5 导演仍然用他的视听语言写的关注家庭的故事 背景瀑布是蓝色的 底色就是忧郁 疫情下关于个人的事 ，每个人都有难堪的时候 未来还不可知。简化了《记忆》里的声音 但可以类比 后半段两个人的对戏轻松了很多
放下自我，或许失去人前的体面，但内心的体面更加珍贵。
各種生活細節呈現得很細緻。如果不是太刻意的命題式結尾，本是值五星的作品。
“每个人都有不堪的过去，只是大小不同而已。”“我答应你，我会慢慢的好起来” 。疫情时代的一部温情又真实的影片，每个普通的家庭都有不容易的一面，希望大家都有勇气和力量度过难关。
蝙蝠侠的初次登场让人回想起当年蒂姆·伯顿的系列首部——身披强大而神秘的威慑力浮现在明暗交界处，只是比起从空中展翼而降的基顿，帕丁森选择了愤怒的一步步走入画面：新一代比起老一辈要缺乏浪漫气息并更加痛苦，甚至背负着精神病史、极端情绪和不被理解的恐惧。里夫斯继“科洛弗”的911症候与“猩球”的法西斯主义后再造一座将倾的都会，这是前辈人的领地，如同费拉拉、斯科塞斯、沃尔特·希尔和唐·希格尔电影中的世界，年轻一代该如何去适应与重新征服，并理清于上一辈阴影下的纠缠，是电影和现实都在关心的问题。欣慰的是被逼上绝路的这一代没有选择夸张的幻想，而是拿起手电踉跄又坚定的追寻在雨夜，且最终的高潮并未交给前人痴迷的暴力，信号棒点亮日出，一场晨曦到来前的救援成为了真正的英雄时刻，他们终于信任了他，他终于融进了这座城。
前后两部分的观影体验就像：
当一个长得像米歇尔奥巴马的人告诉市民应该相信警察的时候，我就非常确定这坨仨小时的玩意就是民主党建制派嗯造奥巴马流量的反动宣传大毒草。为了把超级英雄电影带回到前小丑时代，甚至需要塑造一个有菲尼克斯面相的蝙蝠侠然后让他成为一个真的蝙蝠侠，全片与小丑对仗的内容如此之多以至于所有的体面正道反思都成了欲盖弥彰。究竟谁越界了？究竟谁在滥用暴力导演你自己心里没ACDE数吗？川壬上台能拍小丑老毕登上台就只能拍这种垃圾你们好莱坞上上下下都应该扪心自问一下!
作為疫情時代下第一部以疫情為主題的電影，鍾導此次以失魂的家庭失和+陽光普照的基調，創作出疫情時代下女兒與思覺失調的母親共體時艱，修復母女關係的家庭故事，即便主角書寫換為女性，對白依舊是熟悉的鍾式風格，前期像驚悚片，隨著母親被診斷出精神疾病後，影片基調變從驚悚片轉為母女家庭片，共體時艱、一起變的更好的過程，讓人心暖暖的。瀑布的象徵著賈靜雯內心有壓力時便會聽到的震耳欲聾的流水聲，片名用抽象的方式表達其實很完美，可惜鍾孟宏在本片仍舊犯了飽滿過頭的問題，畫蛇添足的結尾，試圖讓瀑布具象化，說實在的沒必要，如果影片收在淨上公車與媽媽告別的地方，整部片會更顯乾淨俐落之感，撇除這畫蛇添足的結尾，瀑布我喜歡，賈靜雯篤定是金馬影后了，思覺失調的細膩詮釋，和王淨這對母女檔不輸美國女孩，但劇情片我還是壓美國女孩一票
开场序幕定调惊艳，然而一路走低，黑色电影质感并不能拯救这样一个毫无悬念感的故事走向，无论探案线索、反派设置还是正义的探讨都拖沓又刻板，三个小时更是大可不必。
贾静雯的表演真好，“瀑布声”是我们要学会告别的“执念”（或者说心里的一种魔障），但“瀑布声”不会消失，我们要学会和它面对、相处。答应我不再问你还好吗。真的棒，戳住人了。
