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
人性的丑恶在印度的种姓制度不断放大，高种姓的人压榨低种姓的人，在这压力下，低种姓的人压榨同阶层的人，只要种姓制度存在一天，印度低种姓人永远不可能翻身
5.最脏最黑的永远是政治家，最根源的腐败是种姓制度
结尾差点意思，总体来说很不错，看完了能引发人的思考。
所以，人们看到的真相不一定是真相，可能是政治家让你看到的真相。
突然觉得 很无奈
故事D：正义律师忍辱负重一朝加倍奉还。
口号谁都能喊，难的是如何做。这种题材电影，那个国家电影工作者都能拍，难的是是否解决了现实问题，而不是一而再再而三的拍。重视对方，才会想尽办法控制审查；当达到了蔑视的程度，谁管你，反正也掀不起大风浪，你想怎么拍就怎么拍。我并不希望以后我们国家这种类型的电影遍布，如果真的到了那个时候，说明真的烂了。任何人都以为自己了解真相，然而你看到的却是别人要你看到的。
为了争权夺利，这些政治家什么肮脏的事都做了。
片子本身问题很大，前面卖关子整整两个钟头，看得我昏昏欲睡，看到 20 分钟就看不下去，今晚再看。2小时开始才揭开大幕，情节错综复杂，40分钟压缩太多东西了，主题太多，完全讲不完，重点不明确，又是革命又是政治又是贪腐又是校园政治，核心就是印度自上而下都完了。感觉印度这个国家就是个戏场嘛，就是给印度电影提供素材的
这种片子不太适合给身边人安利，因为你不知道谁是那种看《战狼》会看到肾上腺素飙升的主。
看完很震撼，在国内广电总局此类题材一定是过不了审的，一天到晚报道印度日本韩国的负面新闻，但说实话，印、日、韩在电影娱乐方面真的是已经不知道甩中国多远了
中国电影不仅在剧本讲故事的能力上，更在国家社会议题的反思和讨论上，离韩日以及印度电影差的越来越远了
5.最脏最黑的永远是政治家，最根源的腐败是种姓制度
过于脸谱化了。当然商业电影的目的就是为了满足尽可能多的人的观影需求。在印度具有广大的被种姓制度压迫的底层民众以及长期处于不平等地位的女性群体。这类电影很容易激发民粹主义，后半段的反转给予了警示。
仅几部印度电影不断刷新深度高度……评本片，用警察总督对副手的那句台词：“这就是政治”！
就是比韩国电视剧还扯的剧情在印度就能发生，是巧合吗？不，是命运的安排……
电影四分，题材再加一分。想起去年的杰伊·比姆，印度在现实题材的道路上走得比我们远太多了。
最后的革命万岁太燃了！尽然在印度电影里看到了希望！反转再反转再反转，印度神作绝不会让你失望，总是会感觉诚意满满！看了整部电影除了剧情非常抓人，让人赞不绝口外，仿佛用一部电影一日游浅浅了解了整个印度，印度的社会议题，能把这些议题串联在一起拍出反转悬疑片太令人称赞了！他们太文化自信了！太令人羡慕了！而我们呢？……只能留下唏嘘！
总体观感不如杰伊比姆。反转还是很多，副督察从正义到邪恶再到良心发现，瘸腿律师从出场看着像个正派，说话像个反派，抽丝剥茧还原了副督察给的真相。新闻媒体和警察操纵了真相，程序正义的重要性。
前半一个多小时看得我又想笑又恶心，拥挤的音乐和疯狂的煽情填满了每一处空间，根本没有节奏可言，一段又一段的内容接连放送，没有剧情只有信息。后面我承认反转是令人震撼的，角色拉黑又洗白也是厉害，但片子真的信息塞爆，因此没有任何一个段落得到充分有效的发挥，角色也令人难以共情，甚至难以令人信服。多给一星纯粹是为了律师演员和男政治老师、死去女老师的颜，少量足够力量的台词，以及不少撕破摊开的印度黑幕。只可惜片子的主题在我看来，依旧只是几乎所有人都在为自己的私心服务。
