This early 70's giallo by Umberto Lenzi is certainly among the best in his filmography and also in the whole genre. Personally I think Lenzi's best films are the funny cartoon-turned-film Kriminal, the stylish giallo Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, the explosive Napoli violenta and this. In the eighties he did plenty of film trash in form of Eaten Alive, Hitcher in the Dark or Black Demons, all of which are ripping something off and/or very dull and slow moving. Knife of Ice came when the giallo boom was at its hottest and the result is convincing.
Technically the film is superb, containing great cinematography in the beginning when we learn about the main character's trauma towards trains. From this point on, Lenzi shows us his ability to benefit the widescreen and, for example, the bicycle ride near the forest is genuinely beautiful! This scene also shows Lenzi's ability to build suspense, very slowly but meaningfully. After all, there aren't so many murders in the whole film, only the suspense circulating around the murderer's identity.
One suspect is a devil worshipper which brings new aspects to the mystery. Since the final scene takes place in a church, one can wonder if Lenzi wanted to comment on something, maybe the hypocritical morale of church and superstition. The main character (Carrol Baker) is mute which demands a lot from her face and eyes. The actress works very well, giving us a believable performance circulating around the emotions of fear and mental pain. The other actors are good, too. The finally, however, may not give too positive a sight about female sex since they all are expressed rather negatively in the film, one way or another. Still this is easily among the most noteworthy in the genre, not as bloody as the Argento films, for example, but equally suspenseful and visually also interesting.
Cameron会弄混两人的巧克力还自以为大方地送给Poppy，而Poppy一直很清楚巧克力的真假但依然愿意愉快地和Cameron分享，这也是他们俩对待克隆的不同态度。
毕竟那不是自己。我觉得宁可承受伤痛，也不愿意让所爱的人孤独离开。
太喜欢这部电影的设定了。我会嫉妒，会愤怒，但你能代替我，爱下去，照顾我的家人。我知道家人爱我，爱的是因为我们共同的经历，共同的喜怒哀乐而产生感情的我，所以能在克隆基地安静等待死去。而我的灵魂仍在世上，他做得比我还要好，这是最有意义的延续。
🍎好喜欢搞这种科技奇观但是故事体量其实一集40分钟美剧就能说明白的温情科幻…男主还是不错但是这个故事明明还是BC当年短片Inseparable 比较好看
传说天鹅在临死前的叫声特别动人，特别美 - 《天鹅挽歌》.以爱之名，让爱延续
好看。点子好棒。而且流泪就是这个样子流泪，其他样子都是假的。
马克思说，人的本质是社会关系的总和。
本应探讨克隆深层次的矛盾，最后被廉价的情感替代了。
天鹅挽歌 2022.1.7 另一个我，一气化三清。
命题很好但展开的太浅薄 人的情感太复杂了 以及科技都到了可以复制意识的程度却治不了绝症…我不理解
涉及伦理纲常和人格侵犯，很多事情都那么模糊，最明朗坚定的是贯穿整篇是爱。克隆本是一个科幻的主题，却用温情的故事来讲述，用本体的视角去窥探，仿佛Jack不是克隆人，就是卡梅隆身体的延续、为卡梅隆完成他以后的人生。
我看见我生命中的往昔
我觉得这个设想其实很沉重，大概就是善意的谎言和残忍的真相的博弈，主人公最后选择了善意的谎言，因为对妻子和孩子的爱。但我想我应该会选择残酷的真相，因为我觉得谎言永远都是谎言，人总是需要面对的，everything。
竟然有点甜？对亲人、爱人的寄托，是生活沉重的解药，甜与苦编织的温暖毛衣，really inspirational; it's embedded in the life.但拍的异常放松、异常美，妻子的琴声是召唤，构图来源于现代西方理解的日式禅意（也许是一种圆寂观念的影射）；富有自有界限的现代诗意。
死亡与离别才叫生命完整，才令相爱的时光珍贵。如果我不在了，我希望有人知晓，时不时泛起的记忆带来泪花或微笑。如果我爱的人不在了，我一定不想要一个复制替代品，我要为那个真实活过的人疯狂嚎哭，日日夜夜思念哀悼。
非常细腻的情感表达，这在美国片里算是罕事了
Apple在这部电影里要兜售的内容太多了：生活方式、生命观念、对待记忆的态度…一切与科技息息相关，也早已超过了之前出品内容里的Apple产品覆盖。无论做产品，还是做内容，Apple最终还是在做上层建筑。
近几年软科幻冷门佳片。不得不说，在这方面美国做得比国内好。沉得下心来，又有新认知，有新世界观架构。最重要的，虽然属于小成本，但制作精良。
最大的bug是，都能出克隆人了不能把癌症治一治吗i
没想到这几个人物的演出就完成了这样一部有内容的好电影，看的过程中就有想流泪的感觉，看到影片最后两行热泪也跟着流下来，很完美的收尾。
