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
还是有点假 但是能看下去 女主太美了 live with dignity not fear
印度電影的一個特點是男女主角的眉目傳情，盡在不言中，加上豐富的肢體語言，情感的營造濃烈，不知不覺就被吸引進去了。片中女主完美演繹又美又颯，上次看到這樣的美颯角色是Dhoom2裡的Aishwarya。意外的是女主才29歲就能把角色演繹的這樣出色，反觀⋯⋯⋯⋯
从妓院走出来的孟买女帝~
完全相信男人就是倒霉的开始；把搞钱搞事业打在公屏上。
看完之后觉得很感动 虽然不是很理解为什么黑社会大哥会无偿帮助女主 但我想他应该也有一颗金子般的心 也是想为印度女性的崛起贡献出自己的一份力量吧 宣扬女性的独立意识任重而道远
电影一整个爽文设置，被卖进妓院最后做成女大佬。但是看了电影才发现，女主几次比较重要的转折都离不开男大佬的助力，总是倡导平权，但是在这部电影中完全看不到除去女主外再为女性发声的人了。最后也是只能girls help girls
电影里花了太多时间去唱歌跳舞，该政治斗争的时候还在谈情说爱，减弱了这部电影的内涵深度。
终于没有唱唱跳跳了，但是有一种浓烈的玛丽苏大女主既视感
如果牢笼无法打破，那就竭尽所能给笼子里的人最好的，这是她能做到最大的努力了。有人说她只能保护那些女人一时保护不了一世，可谁说只能保护一时不是一种伟大呢。
还是不太能理解女主一路奋斗，最后的诉求居然是卖淫合法化。
5.16看的，甘加、甘古、甘古拜您真的好美。
她不是圣人，也不是恶魔。为受迫害女性争取到了权益和尊严。
我又一次看到了印度电影对女性的嘲讽，当一个女人想要自强自立脱胎换骨时，她只能靠男人
临近结尾有点仓促，但前面的大女主爽片看着挺喜欢的。影片画面和色调真美，穿着白色纱丽的甘古拜就像这泥潭里的莲花。印度片特有的歌舞也和人物情绪和剧情很契合，特别是得知父亲死后在圣母节上跳舞的那段，没有以前那种为跳而跳的突兀感。
平时打分手太松，现在打五星无法体现看完后的心情了，只想再加五颗星。
不知是片子拍的潦草，还是本人就是如此行事，剧情极其不合逻辑。沦落红灯区没有想办法出逃？老鸨死后为何不解放妓女们，而是保留妓院形式为前提给妓女们一些权利？危机关键时刻有黑老大撑腰每次都化险为夷，一路爬上区长。这是印度封建社会下的女性解放？无语，演的跟大女主一样，什么玩意儿
里面对于妓女合法化观点也很有趣。
当一个群体已经成长到无法忽视的地步时，我们没办法忽视他们，争取更多的权利，把事情往好的方向引导，也许是我们最应该做的。在这里也有girls help girls
剧情的展开极其快速和不合理，没有任何铺垫和伏笔的平铺直叙，布景虚浮，也没有看到任何对妓女悲惨生活的探讨，非常不好看。
对男人极度不信任+反感。由于她被男朋友卖了？
