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
林允儿太好看了
允儿太甜了。
不擅沟通的父亲让人印象深刻，但也很费解很多事情的选择，可能这就是那个时代的大人吧，谁还没个武断，把身心交给事业（即使微小）的长辈呢。
我的专注力要有这么好就好了，每天都是看书看书看书...做事做事做事...
前半段是学生时代甜甜的初恋，富家女一往情深的爱上了聪明的穷小子。后半段是人穷志不穷的小伙子，为了内心的愧疚、为了邻里出行的方便与安全，以一己之力建造一座火车站的励志温情故事。有的人，因为爱，被困在了时间之中，也只有爱，才能让他重新走出去。
叙事有点冗长 不过情感很真挚 这里面的奇迹感觉既是姐姐的陪伴 给总统写信 自建车站 天赋异禀也有女主那么执着的爱
爱情线清新明快，姐弟线太好哭了，列车员问朴正民是不是马上升高中了的时候我看着朴正民那张中年人的脸笑死了，后半段父子和解略有点冗杂
平平淡淡地讲一个火车车站的故事
2、允儿这条线删掉对剧情一点影响都没有。而且允儿对朴正民的爱也太无缘无故了
然而男主就太差劲了，三十多岁长得像四五十，居然演高中生？分分钟让人出戏！
虽然一早就被剧透了最大反"反转"，但还是看得痛哭流涕。满分院线小品有笑有泪有深度。姐弟线动人，爱情线可人，父子线也并不突兀，亲人死亡大家都觉得自己有责任太正常不过。李星旻朴正民林允儿李秀卿全都喜欢! 允儿我觉得没有姐姐多，不知道为啥一个提女主一个女配。
剧情还不错，说感动还差点。姐姐去世和父亲开火车这两个反转有加分。
后半段都在感叹，这不该是日本拍的吗？前面对姐弟关系处理得近乎暧昧，中段笔锋一转真相，简直妙啊。以及允儿真可爱，怎么那么会挑角色。
有负我的期待。就是说，做减法真的是一件很难的事。
2021m62不太好的2021年末，想不到要在失恋中度过了。纯爱已离我太远太远
自带天然呆属性的数学天才俊京，生活在连火车站都没有的小镇上，一次在铁轨桥上姐姐为了保护俊京躲避驰来的火车不幸落水淹死，当天的司机正是父亲，由于对姐姐身故事实的抗拒，此后姐姐便以幻想的形象陪伴在身旁，成为每天分享喜怒哀乐的心灵知己。长大后的俊京，立志搭建一个火车站，让居民不必行走于随时会出现火车的轨道上，终于在获得政府批准后利用数学天赋搭建起了简易车站，告慰了姐姐的亡魂。感情线上是活泼开朗的议员千金敞开了他心灵的窗栓，互补的性格让彼相互吸引，慢慢不再需要向“姐姐”来倾诉衷肠，在去美国留学前父亲也说出了事发时的真相，这个造化弄人的人伦悲剧一直没有告知俊京，既是对儿子难以启齿的自责，也是不想让本就悲痛不已的儿子打击过大，一蹶不振的两人终于鼓起勇气和埋藏心头的秘密挥手告别，治愈对方的同时救赎了自己。
林允儿真好看啊
天才的故事总是那么好嗑。“郑俊京！我儿子！他考了韩国第一！马上要去美国了！”想一想，任凭哪个父亲喊出这样的话，内心是何等骄傲与自豪。父以子荣，因为有这样出色的儿子，年轻时的丧妻，中年时的丧女，此刻都得到了补偿，这个一直不敢表现出对儿子的爱的父亲，终于在离别前夕真情流露，成功说服了儿子。
冲着允儿看的，允儿真的好看又活泼灵动啊！故事其实很简单，没有什么跌宕起伏的情节，就是一个成长于深山老林的理科天才一直被自己的母亲和姐姐因自己而死自责，在姐姐精神陪伴的鼓舞下以及小女友的鼓励下，和村民建了一个火车站，最终和火车司机的父亲达成和解，赴美读书，放下了心结。
将守护和实现爱的人的梦想，作为自己的梦想。无私的爱，没有边界。也希望俊京和罗熙拥有美好的未来。
