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
欢乐打酱油，老美的惯常思路，跑别的地方挖掘历史遗迹（非法），但是核心问题是绑架美国人。至于低价奴役原住民，那不算个事……
没想到，桑婆都58岁了，还能演这种大女主，被肌肉小狼狗猛追的电影。两人一路感情升级，且却毫无违和感。
哈哈哈哈什么玩意儿看一乐呵有些反讽暗语但很没意思也很低级……不过要说的是女人当家作主站起来了！不再是60岁的007配20岁小嫩妞儿了！咱妇女在50多的时候也能把到小鲜肉！这大臂膀子！这大翘屁深股沟子！谁看谁不迷糊！只是皮特龙套跑得太干脆……以及很多陈家班打斗场景……乌鱼子…所以这是在致敬复古吗……
也没有那些自媒体说的那么差啊 本身我是不太喜欢什么寻宝啦 丛林啦这样的东西 但是全篇看下来就是一个轻松的流水线作品 还有皮特耍帅
中规中矩的冒险喜剧。完成了我的期待，但没有惊喜那种，可能是俩人对手戏的火花不够吧。
好无聊好无聊，本来以为至少冒险夺宝会有点意思，结果并没有，唯一出彩的地方是布拉德皮特出场的那十分钟，整个就是一个大失望。（花了大概十次才看完这么一部…
Entertaining! Brad Pitt is so handsome !
Sandy真是懂我笑点，好一些台词都很微妙可能大部分打低分的人觉得不好笑吧
布拉德皮特那段客串部分特别逗哈哈，全片搞笑担当了！其他几位主演，不知道为啥都莫名有点憨……
搞笑戏、寻宝戏、解谜戏、爱情戏、动作戏……都没有可圈可点之处，全片观感很平淡，演员表演全部沦陷，4个大角色合在一起干了一个不入流的片子！除了男主的腚！差评！
没想到一部大牌云集的夺宝探险题材电影居然会这么无聊，全程除了拌嘴就剩下桑婆的bulingbuling秀，唯一的记忆点只剩下皮特的老子说，然后他就被爆头了，结果他又复活了……完完全全浪费了查宁·塔图姆紧致的屁股。
欢乐打酱油，老美的惯常思路，跑别的地方挖掘历史遗迹（非法），但是核心问题是绑架美国人。至于低价奴役原住民，那不算个事……
2.5星。嘻嘻哈哈，可以很輕鬆觀影，演技不拉垮。
剧本像是根据明星的任务逆向工程出来的。布洛克在本片的表现（出棺材之前）是心情的真实体现吧。
“我以为他是个小孩，结果他居然有胡子”哈哈哈哈哈丹尼尔怎么允许这台词的啊。
好一般的电影，粗制滥造像去年的《丛林奇航》。以为是冒险解谜类，结果只有冒险没有解谜。
考古冒险爱情浪漫片。
所有人都好像心不在焉的推进着主线，是我的笑点。
怪我没有幽默感 沾满水蛭的ass 并不能多加一星 难看（
皮特一定是因为档期紧张才拿的阴间剧本，桑婆钱老板，大妞配壮汉，可惜无脑帅哥很难嗑
