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
一位是入世后的出世，一位是出世后的入世，若世间不能按所学而活，不如顺性而活。疏狂狷介之士那个年代尚有退隐之路。兹山所在是归隐，是明心见性，亦是殊途同归。
作为国人，对于这部电影，除了惭愧还能做什么呢。用儒家的思想文化与自然生物的知识通过交易进行对比融合，思想再高深的学者也会对自然生物抱有求知的欲望，这种欲望不分高低贵贱，也正是因为学者有这种知识不分地位的想法所以才能精通儒家文化。而捕鱼的人也对不符合自己身份的儒家文化抱有热情，这种上下阶层人民的文化交融与互通才是文化教育真正的目的。从本片宣扬的平等文化来看其实很像如今我国正在扶持的某些措施，电影中有一句台词是老师你为什么不用汉文教我们儒家文化，是啊，不会汉文的人做着会汉文的人应该做的事，不仅不别扭，反而很优秀。如果电影是一种思想学习的表现，那么就更可怖了。
一个人同时保有两种相反的观念，还能正常行事，这是第一流智慧的标志。
不能按照自己心中所想去生活那还是自己想要的么？经历过就会懂得放下吧。
我就差不多知道真相是什么了
没想到在这一年的结束时候，我终于看到了这一年最好看的电影。幸运啊！
同时，对性理学进行了重新理解，将 “大学之道,在明明德,在亲民,在止于至善”理解为弃旧图新，为西学展开了怀抱。
杰伊是印度语万岁的意思，比姆是印度宪法之父。电影关注底层，不畏强权，伸张正义，敢于控诉种姓制度，揭露黑暗。刑讯场面过于血腥恐怖了。律师如圣人，据说这一人物是真实存在，仅仅6年时间就主持了96000起不公案件，打破阶级和不公，为无数被冤枉弱者找回正义。
看到这种题材真的很感慨，中国现在电影一边大型商业剧作，一边小众私人文艺，零零碎碎的传记片也是近百年的人物，对于古代那些人物也只是大概从课本中知道，这种经过创作编写的人物传记片子少之又少，更何况走人大众视野。中国的文化和故事都被浪费和遗忘光了。
时代下的政治文化环境特色，学习反抗命运的渔村小伙，意境看着赏心悦目，表演准确而自然。魟鱼要走的路，只有魟鱼知道，鳐鱼要走的路，只有鳐鱼知道。
《捕蛇者说》。
这或许也是一个“有趣”的对比，让世界上其它地方看到这部良心之作的人萌生某种警醒！
受害者宁死不屈的硬气 妻子百折不挠的毅力
韩国版“沉默”。虽然不喜欢导演对天主教和儒学的捧一踩一的态度，但是片子确实打动人心，讨论的主题很吸引人，但奈何还是隔靴搔痒，这可能是韩国文化的悲伤吧，两种思想都是外来的，学哪种都画虎不成……构图和故事也在西方和东方之间摇摆，借鉴还是没借鉴到精髓啊……整部片子的水平就像韩国人做的绝句诗一样，乍一看挺唬人，仔细看不太行
水墨风的黑白色调，却意外地合适。儒学当道，本该以仁义治世，然非但容不下西洋学，将其贬为邪学，亦以百姓为农田，官僚上下串通，层层剥削，几近腐臭。若铨学问再多，儒学佛学西洋学样样精通，却无施展之地，腹中空有书墨，积郁成疾，入黑山后与昌大交往中渐悟，终顺应内心回归自然，书《兹山鱼谱》，既是避世，亦是求实，也承师徒情谊之重，成一美谈。
观影时，你的心态其实也是受影响的。有在B站看到那些“年轻人”日常玩印度“正是在下”的梗；大风歌地的惨剧却只希望快点过去，不应该为盛世之阴影。
还是模糊的，丁若铨的人格力量和师徒对“道”的追寻都语焉不详，看下来觉得是对东亚文化一种浅层的理解。
得分：9.5
数码黑白的质感确实差点儿
看完只想说，还好还好我生在中国，要是在印度，真不是人过的日子😂
