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
就算是adam driver又怎样?最后还不是要被果体示众~~~本来以为是个动作片片，其实是一个关于人性和欲望的片子~哪有什么真爱，在那个年代背景下女性地位真是可悲~女主好美!
刷放映表偶然看到的老雷新片，很驚喜。故事簡單但是半重複的敘事依然吸引人，老雷打造出的中世紀令人嚮往。
罗生门的故事，主题比故事更好，女主真漂亮，而且勇敢。从古至今，对女性的强暴，永不是那一次，一次被强暴，终生被强暴。我从来不觉得亚当帅，他长得有点怪，小本感觉瘦了，颜值有所恢复，但这里的造型，没办法。最近电影的卡司都很强大。
对比这两天的新闻来看，更显出这部电影的好。
英雄气质和史诗向来由男性写就，道德同样也是。但这个电影说，最勇敢的或许不是可以选择“为荣誉而战”的人，而是几乎没有选择权、却能够在逼近的死亡面前站稳脚跟的人。
结构上三方面对称，内容上并没有做到，主要是第二男主的爱情描述实在过于自说自话了。即便如此，依然不能说导演插旗在女权这边了，罗生门结构强调的就是对主观叙事的反思，甚至包括对女性话语权的反思。插旗的是观众，不是导演，就看观众能不能反思自己的主观叙事了。
眼神里都是戏～非常温馨的科幻电影，本以为这么高科技如此像《黑镜》会是惊悚剧情hhh
这应该是继《月球》之后最好的关于克隆人的科幻片了，虽说是科幻片，却没有炫彩夺目的特效，更多的是我与“我”之间触及灵魂的相互拷问，从小感兴趣到恐惧抵触最后坦然接受。
在未来，如果有这样一个克隆体，它和你长得一模一样，拥有你完整的DNA以及所有的记忆，那么，你能接受它吗？又或者，你能接受你的另一半是这样一个克隆体吗？
罗生门三重叙述的多有重叠拖沓不够精悍，其它没毛病，片尾决斗拍的好极。女权在中世纪，看谁敢欺负小变态(ง'-̀'́)ง 4＋
但是生活并不是如此
严肃题材娱乐化，无异于对当事人的二次伤害，女人拼命拾起被践踏的尊严，男人轻而易举就成了笑话，看完如果觉得好爽，那真是千百年来女性的悲哀，即被当成工具和筹码而不是大写的人，雷公被本马达绑架了就眨眨眼吧
七分
既然可以將一個人的記憶、知能和潛意識完全移轉到另一個相同的軀體上，何不就讓原來病老的殘殼消滅？等於是腦部移植。這樣，就沒有同時存在兩個人的困擾了。
挺好的，这真是很久很久以前了。真勇啊。不知道这种想法受了什么主义的影响，总觉得今人当然比古人全方位地厉害。其实美好的品质，并不会随着时间维度的拉长而更多或更少。//but,我看到大本和达蒙在一个画面里就想笑。演员还是应该保持神秘。。。
虽然是中世纪题材，实际上却充满适用于当下的警示。雷德利人到晚年仍在做自我颠覆与解构的尝试，着实可敬。越来越喜欢朱迪·科默。另，这可能是我最喜欢的字幕结局了。
只是希望，因为快绝望
真相无人在意，众人关注的只有利益纠纷与骚乱刺激，这是最血淋淋的真相
雷德利的《罗生门》，三段叙事，三个视角，三大男主还是没能掩饰朱迪的光芒！
