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
很多人骂借bg卖bl擦边球，我倒觉得故事本来就是想说，不论哪种感情，亲情、爱情、友情，不管你爱的是偶像、同类、还是那个人，无论对象是男是女，是亲人是朋友，都有美好、悲伤、嫉妒、遗憾、不甘，爱比我们以为得更复杂。
老夫终于体验到了磕CP的甜，真的好甜啊！！！张子枫的学生头恍惚让我想起了桂纶镁的蓝色大门，吴磊也基本不逊色于陈柏霖啊啊啊，我死了
Ming给未成年少男道歉 郝蕾给张子枫道歉
轻盈小电影，晚风吻尽荷花叶，让我醉倒在池边。
故事虽然俗套，但每次看到这种真情实感去讲相信奇迹的故事，都会被感动。任何时候，梦想都不会也不应该廉价。
三星半。自然，张弛有度，甚至有点让人感受到演员即兴发挥的亲切感，还有一点直面现实的勇气，不论是直接交代的，还是间接暗示的，都不错。没记错的话，这应该也是华语青春片第一次把电子音乐纳入到人设当中吧。
跟自身经历太过相似，5星打的并不客观。我想人永远不会忘记那个时候喜欢过的人吧。
厦门，英文是Amoy，这种程度的玩弄审查，必须是支持。
就是这种感觉，手心抽痛，也许真的爱过，他就像你青春期的一个标的，可怜的是，你只有这一个标的！当青春过去，你才明白，你就是普通的不能再普通的普通人。
看之前两个令我好奇的点：对抖音、微信等当代元素的描绘；掌握好过审规则的同志元素暗示。看完，两点都没有失望。非常干净的青春片，歌也很好听。
电影中段的两人弹唱《拥抱》真是神来之笔，今晚的我差不多要跳起来叫好了。那刻的吴磊的桀骜气像白先勇《孽子》里的李青，短发的张子枫则是第二个《蓝色大门》的孟克柔。两个平行世界的无关角色，就这样冒出来在我脑里触碰一下。荷花池旁，蓝色泳池边，音乐会现场，恍然如梦，青春的神经涌动，禁忌般轻轻一吻，“纷乱世界的不了解”。很多人痛恨男主人设的取向和男女主loveline的问题，我倒觉得这部电影却因此而与众不同起来。
依然是学习好的女生喜欢最后一名的男生，依然是高考前，但本片的侧重好像在父母离异对孩子的影响，既然谈恋爱只是个幌子，它跟一大批的青春片就显出了不同，于是乎暗恋被允许，因为喜欢往往只会是单方面，要说观感还好，可能两位主演更像中学生。

两年前《宠爱》两人18分钟的戏，已经让老阿姨嗑到飞起，心心念念盼着这两只什么时候能合作一部青春剧，这不就来了么！磊枫，再加上五月天的《拥抱》，导演真太会了！没有大糖，只有微甜，被各种花式作妖的“青春片”轰炸过后再看这片，的确是相当接地气的普通人的青春了。不过走出影院清醒过来，呵，普通人的青春怎么可能有吴磊
富二代就可以上快班，我笑了；学霸暗恋的是长得帅的，我又笑了；最后富二代喜欢DJ还是个Gay，这点我认同~哈哈哈哈哈好哈哈哈哈哈！！
MING是男是女不重要，也大概能明白导演想表现什么样的青春，但他高估了大众对这样青春片的接受度，尤其是在被宣发欺骗的情况下。
「我赠你体温你赠我兴奋」是个泣不成声的笑话
不过由于这部被爆出有隐晦BL成分，所以想要去一探究竟
强烈怀疑陈正道受到曾国祥启发终于找到了适合自己的创作方向！
我还是非常喜欢这种（好的）青春爱情电影的。即使是身边没有发生过的故事，好的剧本和演员就会呈现得让人非常信服。青春的悸动感真好啊
