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
卡司应该说让人满意，问题在于剧本的叙事上散而无神，好像讲了很多东西，又没有一个主要的东西，如果单纯把历次游击劫掠变成一个单纯的任务可能就可以通过时间线把整个故事的紧张度和目的性提高。关于老王这个角色，就日军开局这种宁杀错不放过，怎么会放老王撅起到这么关键的情报，就算是为了钓鱼，这样的损失也太大了，难道不应该立刻处理吗？日军这个头目被刻画的又精明又自大又傲慢，结果当然可想而知。我始终觉得我们现在的电影人在刻画日军的时候太文青了，难道不应该着重于刻画他们的残忍吗？不知道还以为在演日本队长呢
铁道题材的电影，总归还是要去看看。制作很棒，但故事和人物都太平。同为炸火车的电影，主创完全可以学习一下几十年前南斯拉夫的《瓦尔特保卫萨拉热窝》，把老洪设计成一个瓦尔特那样的神秘人多有意思啊！铁道队在历史上确有其事，津浦铁路的临城站，就是今天京沪铁路的枣庄西站。另外故事虽然发生在鲁南，但为拍摄蒸汽机车还得闯关东去调兵山。搞笑的是，导演还把满铁大调查部拉下水了。明明花了这么多心思，呈现出来的效果却过于浮光掠影，太可惜了。
范伟演得真好 反倒是张涵予演得有点生硬 除了范伟其他人的角色都太空了
利用了经典剧本，透支了两位好演员的魅力，根本没好好拍出味道来，完全是莫名其妙，用了韩式电影的拍法，空壳一个，没有灵魂！连云港还写成了连运港。。。
昨天去看了 真的感觉范伟老师演的太好啦 我全程都被他带动 哪怕一个背影立在那里都是可以传达出情绪的
被解说范围的几种笑演技忽悠过来的。恰饭也不容易啊，费脑子。——20220216
视听层面有想法，有点像追求70年代B级片的LowFi质感，但叙事方面有些差
真的很难看，红色教育抛开不说，单从电影的角度来说，真的不及格。故事不连贯，人物多余，为了说教而说教。
有够变态有够血腥质感有够粗糙也有够疼 让我不禁怀念以前的90代到00代的砍杀片 德州电锯杀人狂人皮客栈致命弯道那种 有时候生活就得来点这种片子 无脑开心就行
画面优良，老戏骨给力，只可惜情节上有些单薄了。不论是和鬼子斗智斗勇，还是夜雪爬火车，都欠点意思。感觉导演力求一个“稳”字，却失去了当年英雄们的闯劲
范伟真的很厉害，是真厉害。其他厉害是雪，就没停过。导演很努力的风格化，一直控制自己在动作场景上不要神剧。
制作精良，很有质感，可惜落了个人英雄主义的窠臼。演技在线，人物却没太立住，可惜
通篇让人觉得有意思的就是几人关于性与自由的探讨，完全不能接受女主睡觉眼影都不卸。
很复古，很午夜档

不一样的抗日电影。拍摄手法很独特。致敬英雄们。
摆一桌见阎王的酒，话一席亡山河的仇。暴雪里有在血肉里翻绞的刺刀，铁轨上便有攀爬到贼心上的麻绳。车厢内有灭亡家国的军火，车窗上便有向死而生的徽标。喝点酒才好在敌营里卧薪，流点血才敢在匪巢内爆破。这苹果切了最大块给你，这刀却要在最合适的时间给你，这一世无缘做血亲，还好再来世与你相认。
最最常见的美式恐怖片元素还能拍出新意，直到影片最后一句台词还能让你叫绝
周也的角色好花瓶。
