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
为女性主义电影打call！我不管，就是拍的好！就是牛！
题材和人物塑造角度，真不错，很佩服印度有这样的人物和影视作品，但从作品本身来看，对社会丑陋和女性苦难遭遇没有更深刻反映——也许默认印度这些问题非常严峻，所以从我们观看角度，故事后半部分逻辑完全无法理解。但总体是个好作品，推荐。
我好喜欢车里那段戏，印度电影对于正义和力量的诠释也很奇妙
像又不像，单纯的肤浅的女性主角，可不能叫女性主义电影
反而是认为卖淫合法是解决妓女困境的途径
爽片拍的不错。3.5吧。以前看电影特别喜欢评论价值观，现在觉得每种价值观都有自己的思考逻辑。从节奏完成度人设已经做的不错的。甘谷白神圣感拍的比较足。 低谷反击至此，可以了。
其实不用拍得这么理想主义诶 还是得靠傍大佬 要说跟大佬没点什么我是不信的 这种很好嗑啊干嘛不拍谁要看跟小白脸恋爱调情
Find something bigger than yourself.
虽然困难在电影里都被描述的过于简单，但是并不代表那个女孩没有曾冲破重重牢不可破的阻碍绽放出耀眼的生命之光
沦落风尘救风尘，只是凭借语言就能让掌权者支持吗？
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。
真人真事改编。大女主，甘古拜，我女神！
虽然大女主+女性主义让两个半小时看起来很爽，但还是希望能讲究一下逻辑问题，槽点无数，甘古拜富家千金说被卖窑子就被卖窑子，当个豪门女婿不比把女友卖80块人民币香?进来后说带全妓院罢工看电影就带女人们罢工看电影，有这个权利不如直接买张火车票回家去?被混混嫖客虐待选择告状他的大哥，大哥帮她出头还收做义妹，顶着大哥妹妹的名号在红灯区一路开挂，想起了黄晓明那部我打了两颗星的《大上海》，同样剧情，不知道哪来的一根葱莫名其妙被大佬罩住从此走向巅峰，不过好歹这部电影还有个好立意，本身也是根据小说改编，当无脑爽文可以。
片子结尾那句“电影明星的海报每周五都会换一轮，但甘古拜不一样，她的照片在卡马提普拉的墙上放了五十年。”诉说了孟买黑手党女王甘古拜传奇而富有争议的一生，片中的那段演讲也非常精彩，甘古拜在泥沼中的不屈和强势令人愤慨和敬佩，她用尽一切手段争取了底层失足女性应有的权利。印度电影传统艺能来了四五段歌舞，有的升华了故事，有的又有些破坏了气氛，而且片中有几段看爽片的感觉，有时有种一切太顺利的错觉，话说回来，是一部优秀作品。
不过女主真是神颜……太好看了。
So不可能同意“女权不彻底，等于彻底不女权”的
层次分明，高潮迭起，一路贵人，整个剧情毫无坎坷且一马平川的顺利，虽然非常理想化，但也侧面表达了黑玫瑰们对自由和尊严的极度渴望。大女主人设演绎的真好，霸气又妩媚，白天鹅当之无愧。
情節太單薄了，又特別的理想主義，經不起推敲。
看有些评论在分析什么故事逻辑，说得好像我们也有机会实现似的……确实是爽片，就过个眼瘾吧…
从娇娇女到妓女，甘古拜经历旁人无法触碰的痛苦。她用自己的方式，努力掌控更多的权力与金钱，为更多与她一样经历痛苦的女人争取更多的权益！
