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
You better put that doughnut hole away or l am gonna shove it up your semicolon.
大概算是个办公室轻喜剧吧。
前半部分比后半好。服装摄影都很像样，有些台词也蛮有意思，属于质量不错的爱情轻喜剧。女主角很漂亮，男主没啥气质扣一分😏
老套的题材，帅哥靓女，职场内外的较劲、斗嘴，典型的＂爆米花影片＂，看着不累，纯属消磨时间的不妨一看。
集中各種商業片元素拍了一部……你說啥就是啥吧。
现实中，你对面大概率是和你一样满眼写着疲惫的普通人，而不是像lucy和joshua这种每天还能有心情玩the hating game的俊男靓女。
看到一半：请问《算牌人》内地买家/投资人还好吗？看delivery的时候是不是已经哭晕在厕所了 这纸面的vision以及卡司和制片的flare 是不是和成片差距太大? I can feel your pain half way through the film. 看完全片：what the heck is this shit!
在rom com越拍越水的今天 这部已经算近期同类型影片最佳了
看小妞电影就是exclusive spiritual therapy 那啥 容易尴尬的人看到后面有点被吓到了 尤其是在大场合突然跟对方家人说who fk cares的让我一身鸡皮疙瘩 减一星
除了俊男靓女的搭配还有略精细的场景设计之外。其他没有什么别的看点了。
加一星给男主 帅死了 虽然剧情老套但是圣诞季当贺岁片看一看很快乐 配乐也超好听
标准的蜜糖无脑片。随便看看啦。
烂俗的情节没有什么可观赏的价值。对于男主的印象还停留在《Whiplash》里那个极为自负的鼓手学员上。
You better put that doughnut hole away or l am gonna shove it up your semicolon.
傲慢与偏见式的小妞电影就是yyds！女主淡妆好漂亮 男主人设很苏😘
男主真的fucking hot 谁不想跟他one night stand😭😭😭
剧情都能猜到，但是剧情进展很快，不拖沓，颜也对口，乐就行了！性张力不错👌🏻
I want a boyfriend just like that. Lol
好一出浓郁节日氛围的小调，TiTa TiTa…
“And because of that, I’m gonna call you shortcake.”尖叫！！！！
