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
要说电影本身，依旧流畅轻盈，并且感叹，疫情时代电影也带上口罩了，好难过。
最触动我的是，Kenny病发后的那个早上，另一个女护工对Sarah说：“无论昨晚这里发生了什么，你已经做得很棒了。”从观影角度来说，结局没处理好，但立意足够丧事喜办之地学个至少一百年了
等疫情结束，差不多就是夏天了。
所以全程用长焦镜头是因为防疫考虑而做出的牺牲吗？另外，利物浦口音也挺有意思的（虽然听上去已经是另一种语言了……
反复出现三四次的“Help”Tittle，和配合这个Tittle出现的那两三秒过场画面，将影片的整体性生生割裂；唯一感受到的是，当这个Tittle出现，就代表片中的时间大跨步向前了，但想推进时间有很多种方式，这是最偷懒最糟糕的一种。
洪导和敏后镜头前后互道“我爱你”，我反复观看，笑咧到嘴角。
这是一部洪常秀电影的说明书啊，演员要摆在舒适的位置，不重要的故事，反制纪录片。他制造一个没有亮部细节的浅景深世界，所有的人物都是他们本身，在这个舒适圈里，电影就像vlog一样被洪常秀轻拿轻放。甚至直接就拍一个vlog吧，像将奶油抹在美术馆一样将这样的电影放上银幕，给予这样轻盈的美一个郑重的画框。
情感很细腻的电影，我没看懂的电影统统归为诗意叙事。
前面铺垫一直很好，后四分之一的大动作有些刻意了，仍不失为好片。一部女主压轴戏，对朱迪·科默刮目相看。
最后的金敏喜美得发颤。看着她手里拿着野花，唱着歌，无邪地笑着，全片都没有背景音乐，这时恰到好处地响起，突然热泪盈眶。
记得原来安徒生童话里有一个故事，男孩的玩具里有一个少了条腿的锡兵和一个跳芭蕾舞的小姑娘，经过千难万险最后他们掉进了火堆里烧成了一颗心。也许燃尽这个虚伪势力的世界，给予过真心的人，无论是亲情、爱情、友情，他们也会在灰烬里烧出了一颗心，就跟Sarah和Tony一样。
更多在于小美女当护工的养成记。然后控诉一下新冠控制失败的国家。
借「小说家」之手完成了一次更为私人的情感文本，也是对自己影像风格的过程式解构，所有的一切都是灵感的迸发，偶然的奇遇，人际的巧合。不需要任何人为动机的推进，只需要等待自然交互下的情绪降临，而洪镜头下的任何元素与符号都充满了最真挚的告白，就在自己所创造的话语结构里从容却又流露出难以掩饰的无处安放，就好像虚构下的「黑白」是第一视角的窥探，随之短暂的「色彩」开始出现后便让爱释放得更加具有魔力。
外国疫情电影，和国内的同题材电影形成鲜明对比。灾难之下，医疗体制的崩溃，情感的崩溃，往往都在一瞬间。而灾难里人与人的连系也变得愈加容易亲密。
讲述新冠疫情的《help》
可我依然乐观
就事论事，不谈比较。独立的看此片还是很不错，浅景深镜头加朱迪科默片中的表演真的很打动人，简简单单感应灯的运用也是非常巧妙。不足就是结尾太生硬太传教了。
2021.9.25 不是我喜欢的类型啊。。而且我看的是97分钟的 应该是提前流出的资源找不到120分钟的 最后那个护工的平均时薪仅8.5英镑 这算少吗。。可能是因为我又换算了的缘故 如果我有这时薪不是天下无敌了。。故事没想到是关于新冠的 我没想到评分这么高 还有朱迪最近是真高产啊 失控玩家 援助 还有后面快要上映的最后的决斗 感觉这几个月是她的专场了 故事就是一个护工在疗养院照顾老人的故事 爸爸不看重他 后面突然有一天新冠来了 因为他们都是老人 感染率最高 政府就放弃了 朱迪在半夜亲眼看到一个老人呼吸不过来最后死去 后面帮助一个和他关系不错的病人 帮助他在外面隔离了12天却被发现了带回了疗养院
从有疫情以来，看过的最棒的讲述新冠疫情的影视作品，导演有着非常成熟扎实的以平淡细节见真情的功底。看似平淡的生活，处处打动内心，我几乎从头哭到尾，可能曾经历过照顾垂危的亲人，感触特别深。Jodie comer的演技真的不错，在这部电影里看到了她还原自己的利物浦口音。什么时候我们歌颂医生的影视作品也能像这样深入真实的以小人物去探讨呢？这电影的摄影很有特点，都是中景之后特写，特写后还一直拉景别，一直拉伸到景别模糊，再慢慢回。挺大胆的。
看似随意稀松平常的影像，洪老头其实拍的很精巧。巧妙的遇见，拍摄的留白让故事充满了洪式的美感。另外要说的是，看洪的电影一直有种很强的参与感这部尤为强烈，感觉你就在对话现场（或许我们都像拉面店外的小妹孩）下一秒就可以打断人物的交流，但是你不忍。/题外话：“确定了人选，然后我才动笔去写”，或许这也是洪老头对金敏喜的告白吧；都说是洪常秀成就了金敏喜，但后者又何尝不是洪的灵感缪斯呢，洪这么高产和他遇见金是脱不了干系的。
