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
爱与共情，可赞的人类。像这样优秀的音乐剧可以多来点。
加拿大小镇视角的911，各类情感的交集，将远方的灾难和世界各地的人们拉进。这里有阴影下的争吵、焦虑和不信任，也有包容与善良汇成的暖流，最多的是人性中的善产生的辉光。
有了Ham的官摄在前，这次反而觉得还是录音更好听。（果然还是要先看现场版啊！近距离摄像丢了太多细节了）
正常关系的样子，道德上纲上线就会变成教条，做爱之前调情是多么重要！
节奏掌握得真好，喜剧和正剧之间的切换时机都恰到好处。对话也写得超棒，触到痛处的地方戳两下收一下，绕出去一圈再突然回来戳一下。短小精悍的100分钟，有笑有泪有思考，一切都刚刚好。
从内核到表现方式都刻板无趣，全靠老ET豁出去的表演撑着。
竟然被治愈了；头两幕感觉差一点就黑镜了，男主过于完美仿生人，没想到第三幕精准打击，牛逼；所有演员都应该看看什么叫演技

关于911的并不鲜为人知的另一面，足够温馨
女主演技很棒，让她说大段台词的时候尤其好。剧情感觉有些乏味，它试图构建起一种对性的探讨，包含性自由，高潮，性工作者等等，但是这种探讨好像只针对剧中的这一个漂亮大男孩，我不能想象这样的探讨如果在现实世界里会多么荒诞，你告诉一个以此为生挣扎在生存线上从未受过教育的人说，你应该以你的职业围为荣，你妈妈不该对你失望。这听起来很像个玩笑，是个不能让人笑出来的玩笑。确实人都有尊严，确实职业无贵贱，但是面对现实里的痛苦人生，谁能拿着这么一部干净漂亮做爱都在干净旅馆里的剧来有底气证明这一切呢？象牙塔里不缺天才，但天才可能没光脚站在土地上。
发出我活了二十几年的最大疑问： 小伙子一小时多少钱🥵🥵🥵 （婶还是在发光啊我爱她！） 看得过程一直咬嘴唇 说正经的，文戏真好，完全可以改改换到戏在剧场演
其实是百老汇原版舞台剧的实拍，但实在是精彩绝伦，再次遗憾错失参加原版舞台剧北京巡演的机会。从另一个角度看9.11事件给大众带来的影响，这个名叫纽芬兰的小岛向所有到来的客人张开双手拥抱他们，以互助和包容照顾他们，在这个特殊时刻让来自世界各地的人感受到爱和支持。无论你是谁，无论你来自哪里，这一刻大家相聚在一起，这一刻大家都是纽芬兰人。
欲求、矛盾、焦虑、满足，各种内心在艾玛汤普森的脸上得到十足的呈现，如果说里奥是一只好鸭，那么艾玛是一个好演员。
喜欢电影中二人的每次对话，虽然很理想化，但都是对现实生活的一种提炼和萃取，看完以后会给你一种思考。
911同人衍生之“迷失”之音乐剧官摄录像，但不在live现场的观感总会打折扣，所以并没有很进入剧情，音乐没有很突出，不过在特殊时期守望相助的情感倒是颇能打动人，但这种美式主流正能量的鸡汤味有多浓，也是冷暖自知的事。
其实电影里一直在强调，leo就是一个fantasy，不必当真。现实生活里，那些找鸭的女的可能在疯狂砸钱做私处保养被pua。最好笑的是女主去探寻leo真实身份，并试图了解，不就是性转版的劝人从良第一步嘛。实在很失望，女性对自我探索的实现还要通过男的这一客体，这不就是男权思路的那一套吗。唯一区别就是，女的还在担心冒犯男的。
疫情解封后的百老汇音乐剧+911 20周年纪念让这部作品天然意义非凡，相比《汉密尔顿》讲述美国国父背后的男人的丰功伟绩，《来自远方》展现了加拿大纽芬兰岛民的力量与善意，it's a celebration of humanity，这是对普通人的赞歌。
20年了，这群像剧的切入视角真的不错，彷佛完全没有关系的地方和人们。以及我隐约想起疫情之前好像来过上海巡演？？没去看真是太遗憾了TAT
二个人的对白剧，通过“深入”了解的过程打开人与人之间的防范。结合欧美文化是一种对彼此肉与灵接纳的唯美的表达，现实做不到的浪漫越是无比憧憬。
非常棒！快两个小时一点都不闷！最喜欢女机长和她那段suddenly。爱上女机长！
