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
感觉心灵之旅的编剧团队集体练习过正念，“觉察当下”、“扩大感官范围”、“不因焦虑和压力失去对真实生活的感知”。硅谷的流行文化里果然有meditation 一席之地。
是一群由衷快乐的创作者的作品。小时候实在是太怕那个老狐狸精了吓得我没看完。
迪士尼+皮克斯，年度最佳动画来了！老少咸宜的情节设计，但在绝妙的创意加持下又处处显新意！全程激发大家思索究竟该如何生活，也为每个负累的心灵疗伤。如果人在未出世前有选择权利，可能有人会像22选择从未出生，以来逃避生命的低质量与无意义，但那样便永远无缘领受一片落叶在空中旋转出的炫目舞蹈。也或像Joe坚信人应为某种终极目标和理想生活，殊不知生活本身才是我们的全部。故事中的角色，没有一个能说清生活的真相，每一种生活方式都在给予旁人启发。生死之间，我们无法选择太多，但可以选择真实地对待生活，每时每刻。值得电影院~
享受生活，珍惜当下，用心去体会，并去感受生活中每一个毫不起眼的瞬间。现实哪有那么多戏剧性的波澜，祛浮祛躁，平平淡淡才是真。妥妥的皮克斯第一梯队水准之作，锁定个人年度院线电影最佳！
袁公被抓走时对蛋生说“你要好自为之啊”，在修复版看到片尾剧本文字描述场景:白云弥漫，天地苍苍。非常震撼，很正统的中国美。
每个人都在平庸地活着，为何一定有目标才能有火花？皮克斯认真起来从来没有让人失望过，这次他们又打开脑洞，通过一个音乐老师濒死灵魂出窍的点子，来探讨灵魂的本质与生命的意义。简洁的画风加上自在的幽默，一个死后的魂灵世界便奇妙地出现在眼前，在一系列兜兜转转的冒险之后，又能给你会心一击，让眼泪在眼眶里打转。
那灵魂被击穿的瞬间，落叶飘下的瞬间，jazz响起的瞬间，所有的一切不都是有意义的吗？响应体验派的号召吧。
看完感觉被包裹在柔软的毛毯里，灵魂得到安抚。在皮克斯的世界里，造物是宽容的。每一个得到地球通行证的人，他的到来都是因为曾找到那朵触发生之喜悦的火花啊。一旦这样想，就觉得平凡地活着，即便只是感受风带来的气息、伸手接住金黄落叶这样微小的瞬间，也足以称为生命的意义的。
3.5 整体故事还是太俗套了。高潮篇章可以看到汤浅政明的《梦的机器》的影子，更显得汤浅的鬼才和天赋，反而让人觉得，皮克斯这次只是做了一个合格的剪刀手，把各种看似天马行空的素材拼凑一体，还要再叠加迪士尼传统单项——煽个情。
为什么要思考意义是什么？
感慨于片尾说“我们想和BBC合作，这样没有限制可以更放手去做。”
蛋生~~蛋生~~~~某天熊说马诺很像里面的老狐狸精。。。。。

所谓的spark并不一定需要天赋，或者热爱，而是感受力吧。无论是沉浸在音乐里，创作里，还只是对一片树叶一些光影的欣赏，都是感知带来的。接纳了自己，也就是接纳了自己所有的情绪，也就能看到平凡生活中闪闪发亮的东西，也就为了这些而承担生活里的琐碎和苦涩，也就终于接纳了自己的平凡。在这个过程中，最终获得的是爱的能力，这是长大成人最必要的条件，最后JOE成就了22也成就了自己，人和人得以建立真正的关系，不再迷失在自己执念的心流之海里，带着好奇和兴趣去了解周围的人，和世界，去建立真正的关系.
迪士尼法务——性转换黑鬼，逐梦演艺圈，还有一只猫，提名傲死卡，谁敢不投票！
就像是片尾管理员杰瑞问乔你将如何度过一生？乔这一次的回答是 ：我不确定，但我知道，我将珍惜每一分钟去活着。所以你知道吗？属于你的火花并不一定都是那些多么伟大的梦想或人生目标，而是你想好好活着的那一刻，生命的火花就会点亮了。同时，我想这个电影在年末上映也是皮克斯给这个艰难的2020一记温柔的摸头杀吧。
皮克斯这部电影显得有点阳春白雪，一般观众不是很好接受，对于人生终极意义的追求和理解，总不是那么容易，但这部电影确实是为每一个平凡人而作。看到片子男主实现人生梦想后怅然若失，看到22因为一根棒棒糖、一片落叶、一首演唱而开心，不由想到，我的梦想是什么？我没有梦想（电影中的“火花”）是不是就该被唾弃？我做一个坐在路边为别人鼓掌的人是不是就是没出息？认真对待每一份美食、每一处美景、每一个细节、每一个朋友和家人，你收获的，可能比实现刹那的“梦想”更长久的快乐与满足！共勉！平凡的人们！
整部片子整体诡异又唯美，灵魂去往地球前习得各种特性的设定特别像赫尔墨斯教义里的灵魂种子和第八境界。22最后好像去四川投胎惹，果然是享受生活的好地方（彩蛋可以告诈骗了）
非常一般，连形式上的有趣都失去了。。。跟我很多年前的毕业论文一样，单薄的主题先行，努力堆砌仅有的看上去有点意思的细节，其实都很无聊且不一定可以自圆其说
