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
一切皆可狗化 但狗化需要契机 小红是怎么转变的？为什么转变的？
从小屁孩和国王皇后出来的时候我就已经知道后续剧情了，实在是太老套了
演员太棒了，剧情也蛮有意思的，片尾曲还是塑料爱！！！
后半部分拉垮了 完全没有人与海兽的互动 也没有海盗精神 强行拔高
没想到还有点小反转。但是对于出轨的丈夫，这报复还是稍微轻了点啊。喜欢这种填满画面的尺寸。
开场的三角构图、诡谲迷幻的配乐和若假若真的虚实叙事太过迷人，虽然细想了一下复仇部分大可不必，但还是想起叶澜依的经典台词：温柔刀，刀刀割人性命。（年过三十的黑木华表演也进阶到了更高水平，奈绪好像苍井优啊）
最后的镜头只给到妻子诶，也许这一切都是她幻想出来的。
现实和漫画真亦假时假亦真，很有意思的作品。
里面的漫画也好看
把主角人设搞得这么讨人厌是不太想让人看吗？这小孩一说话就招人烦呐，看着剧情也是套训龙的路子
妻子用不明虚实的漫画反客为主，最后潇洒离开，爱恨纠缠敌不过“我从未把你放在心上”
黑木华的笑真是意味深长！太喜欢复仇情节了。
真无聊。近年来的日本电影有两个极端趋势，一种是越来越克制抽象概念化的剧作模式，还有一种则是越来越外显与表面化的剧作呈现形式，而这就是后者的代表，以至于让原本优秀的主演都变得暗淡无光，就像两个听从命令的提线木偶。
《我的恐怖妻子》《驾驶我的车》并成了《消失的爱人》，爽片。结尾真女王行为。
就连《金鱼妻》都比这强得多。
半出好戏，后半段人物动机太苍白，每一个人物都有问题，完全无法理解怎么想的，相比之下驯龙高手实在好太多。主角团互相友好未给出理由。最后冲突坏人完全可以全部推给皇室来起头，非要写坏船长实在没必要。
哈哈哈哈哈去年看到这个海报第一反应是怎么找黑木华和柄本佑来演师生恋漫改就没再关注，结果完全不是啊！（在slogan上就写清楚了哈哈哈怪我怪我）就原来是DRIVE MY CAR and GONE GIRL，用创作向出轨的老公复仇，用勇气找回对生活的主驭，虽然好像就都有很多既视感，但在日本本土语境前提下，又处理得很有喜剧氛围，刚开始还在思考是不是奈绪太定餐一直在演可怕小三，后面才慢慢发现原来她的可怕小三角色在这部里也是有作用的……就实际上谁都没在管男人怎么想嘛！很有趣了，结尾塑料爱也太可，整4星。
剧情简单，反派塑造有点失败，本来以为帝王号或者黑化的船长会有联动，最后却草草了事。然而海洋的质感着实一流，冒险的氛围营造到位了，足矣
善于挖坑的女主和自动跳坑的男主让人从头笑到尾，个别台词的出现似乎多此一举但若作为分镜中的要素来看又变得可以理解。配乐是神来之笔，最后闪现的男主所作的画稿和女主的眼神无声带过了两人开始这段关系的理由，也让女主的最终决定除了果决和潇洒之外多了一丝令人唏嘘。
1：小孩一开始崇尚猎人猎杀海兽，然后第一次遇到海兽还救了它，动机在哪？然后发现了这么多辈猎人都没发现的谎言？合着大人都是傻子呗
