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
还挺好看的，女主几部电影都看过但是还真没认出来，在能俯瞰LA夜景的大房子里我也想体验孤独感。拉美人主动一家人闹哄哄很有氛围。出轨男真的演什么都很像贱贱的Schimidt，是那个角色太深入人心了吗
漫长路 骤觉光阴退减
2003年的梅艳芳在香港低谷的时候，决定站出来，给香港打气，2021年的《梅艳芳》也是在香港电影低谷时期的时候，站出来，给香港电影打气，这就是梅艳芳的“精神”。
人物关系、复杂程度、娱乐性都挺好，透着一股丧气+真诚，好看。
既然题材老套 就要学会精简 把最好的呈现出来 而不是把观众当作小白的事无巨细
不評價演技也不評價電影傳記節奏編排~~於我這種從小看港片聽港樂長大的人來說，藉著一些氛圍一些場景甚至一些港人演員的面孔和表情，我都可以自行腦補到位~~~這部電影至少香港精神的表達是準確的~~~前輩無條件提攜後輩，演藝圈大家庭氛圍式的萬眾一心~~ 8090年代的香港黃金時代~~~ 樂觀積極多元開放而寬容~~天才白痴夢~~那時候人人都有一種『以前如此，以後就必然如此嗎？』的勇敢反問的精神。每個人的臉上純真而堅定。
AMC 拍成了流水账，但依然感动，从Leslie葬礼开始一路哭到底，结尾《夕阳之歌》定格在Anita挥手告别的镜头处理得特别好——张国荣的葬礼已经彩排过她的，她已经完成心愿，穿着婚纱和舞台和歌迷告别。开头八十年代的香港风尚好美，每一套便装都想仔细研究。演员其实很不错。王丹妮短发侧颜和梅艳芳一模一样，但正脸时常让我跳戏郭可盈，她扎起马尾或者盘发我甚至感觉是盖尔加朵的感觉=。=Leslie的演员眼睛也极像。可惜妆化得根本看不出年龄变化。那些隐晦的香港大事都让我替Anita庆幸去世得早，要是活到现在她还能面对这样的香港吗？（很明显曾经民众心向大陆，每次赈灾义演捐款都很积极，如今这境地都是被逼出来的）
维文＋星，都市童话，美国屌丝的成名梦也值得尊重哈哈哈
墨西哥女与韩国佬上床这个奇葩设定真的很好笑
她不是要你们承诺，只希望大家某一晚吃完饭的时候，打开窗，望向天上边的星星，见到其中一颗星的时候，你会想起有一个曾经你很熟悉的名字，一个为你带来过少少欢乐的朋友，她的名字叫“梅艳芳”。
最后Olivia还是没有和Antonio在一起，好可惜
看得出那份小心翼翼和欲言又止，这对于一位时代巨星而言显得太温吞，但也确实有感受到主创们用情之深。阿梅，有好多人记得你！王丹妮有用功过，好评。但她不是梅艳芳。没人可以做梅艳芳。今晚听二十遍《夕阳之歌》。
全靠观众自己和往事共情，能理解有很多限制很多人不能直接写，包括梅母与她的关系，但是现有素材东拼西凑，选角乱七八糟，一点都不贴切就不能原谅了，那神似陈豪的哥哥是怎么回事！女主也完全没有巨星神韵，甚至连个小爱豆的气场都没有，看来真不能找没红过的人演明星
除了长了点都挺好的 电影看多了就喜欢看看轻松的
一直期待慶功宴那裡是不是會有人扮演杜琪峰和周星馳
这拍一点，那拍一点的。根本就没有抓住重点。浪费了这个故事。完全不想看导演剪辑版了，因为导演根本就不会拍传记片。真实影像就应该放在结尾而不是穿插在剧情中，现在这样看起来很有违和感啊。而且演员就不能选的再像一点吗？演LESLIE的人，首推陈志朋。。还好当时没有去电影院看。
上层社会的真实生活，聚光灯下的光鲜亮丽反衬着背后的孤独和背叛，反倒是那些泊车人的生活更真实更接地气，最后渣男被全面整蛊了，呵呵
女主长得太像杨幂了，看的时候我都在想，大陆翻拍版，女的找杨幂，男的47岁的演员要平凡要亲人，该找谁呢？
出乎意料的治愈。没有套路的圆满，每个不完美的普通人，却都默默给其他人送去一点温情和慰藉。在男主妈妈葬礼那一段泪流满面，在这鸡零狗碎的现实中，用尽全力地生活，用尽全力地笑和爱，也许就是我们最好的对抗。
第一次在太空看这么有趣的喜剧，什么时候地球也有这种喜剧呢？跟在哪看有毛关系？会鸟语怎么还来说人话的地方
