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
Matt Damon第一个part是有口音问题么？最后一个场景的意义是什么呢，有点含混。整体很棒
划重点：Chapter3—妻子视角。原以为雷导要拍中世纪版《角斗士》，没想到拍的是中世纪《末路狂花》。向雷老Salute！
一场决斗，三种视角。每个人认定的事实总会经过个人主观印象的美化，形成了一场说不清道不明的罗生门。所谓的真相可能无从揭露也无人关心，大众需要的只是一个定论——谁有罪。当然最后导演选择了支持女性视角。
讲真我是误认为这个是星战系列才点进去的，于是前两段男人撒谎我都看到悃着了，但被女主的凄厉吼起来，认真看完第三段:决斗很好看☜时刻代入当年红毒蛇作死场面，善用膝盖那里抓紧做了笔记。字幕出来才发现竟然是老爹神作！难怪史诗感这么强烈，而女主在killing Eve中的表现总让我分分钟出戏✘觉得她应该一脚踹开老公『放着我来』！就把强奸犯和塑料小姐妹都碎成渣
在电影院看的。一个故事讲三遍。两个当红炸子鸡：朱迪科默，亚当德赖弗。两个老腊肉：马特达蒙，本阿弗莱克。
这阵容，演技无需讨论；第一节前半部分太潦草，多视角叙事并不少见，但是这部重播的地方太多了点，尤其第二节跟第三节，大段毫无必要的重复，导致片长过长；勒格里长得实在太丑了，配不上那些赞美，不如跟大本换下角色；
罗生门式叙事结构，但珠玉在前，何况比起黑泽明之作，剧本和剪辑都逊色了不少，整体上显得没有太亮眼了。后来才知道 原来是一部女性主义电影。
向来不怎么喜欢古装电影，但雷德利斯科特执导的几部，我评分都很高，如《角斗士》和《天国王朝》等。从强大的卡司，到摄影、配乐，乃至服装、道具，无一不是精雕细琢，叹为观止。
剧本大失水准，“罗生门”式叙事的一次糟糕模仿
多视角的叙事属实不新鲜了，剧情也过于冗长，但最后一个女性视角还是鲜明刻画出了男人的自信，耐心看进去的话还是很不错的影片。
很契合今天Metoo的1300s法国历史剧。强奸案罗生门，分别从丈夫、强奸犯和受害女性三个视角，一次次把事件重讲，其中犯罪片段出现了两次，运动影像某种程度真是暴力。女性作为丈夫的财产存在的时代，故事里的不公和恶意比比皆是。尤其怀胎六月的Marguerite在庭上被一群老男人质问被强奸时是否感到愉悦的场面，简直恐怖得触目惊心，还有女性对女性的恶意。两个主要男性角色也很“反英雄”，义胆忠肝的莽夫和长袖善舞的小人。不像当年《角斗士》很多“道理”靠台词说出来，这里的台词留给观众自己琢磨。
有明显的女性主义色彩，分别从三个人的角度讲述故事。女性被强奸一直都是没有办法证明，法律也对女性不公。
一场强奸演两遍，废话连篇复述三回，还满口真话的《罗生门》肥皂剧。如果黑泽明在世的话，会骂斯科特无耻吗！84岁斯科特只拍了20分钟决斗好吧！前面两个小时的废戏从来都是斯科特不擅长的。美英联手蹭法国700年前的女权，别扯淡了。4
很当代了，而且和老雷以前拍的那些所谓的女权电影比起来说教意味实在太直白了。
我喜欢这部电影，为了这部电影，我将手机扔一边，全身心投入这个故事里面。没有给五星是因为这部电影给了确切答案，如果朱迪·科默的那个版本也是真假难辨，这部电影就非常高级了。不同的人代表不同的叙事视角，早在七十年前，黑泽明已经玩过了。雷德利再这样搞， 至今已经不新鲜了。给女性发声，并不是新鲜的表达。
三个视角的讲述完全多余，只对某一部分有帮助
斯科特的史诗片是才华的黑夜，没有月亮、没有星星的天空。所谓罗生门的道德困境，不在于女主的性别，而是在于每个人都会面临的地位尊卑。无论是决斗过后众人对丈夫的礼赞和对妻子的无视，还是片尾字幕所说的夫死妻荣，其目的都无非是在迎合女权而已
出人意料，第三段的女性视角将一个平淡的故事升华出了女权主义思想
罗生门式叙事结构，但珠玉在前，何况比起黑泽明之作，剧本和剪辑都逊色了不少，整体上显得没有太亮眼了。后来才知道 原来是一部女性主义电影。
雷导真是女权先锋，怎么让所有男性角色面目可憎算是被他研究透了。第三章拔高了整部电影，但除此以外的节奏实在有些平，要一直撑到最后才能明白很多地方的用意。
