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
不同于其他的狗狗片，Lulu不是一只典型的乖狗狗，她也有PTSD，工作使命使然，和男主的关系也是逐渐建立，互相治愈。
一开始觉得光是暴躁警察在线接听911电话 帮助Emily Abby Henry一家都够吸引了 为什么要加入Joe自己过失杀人的剧情线呢？直到他向Emily承认自己错再到在厕所吐打电话给朋友让他在法庭上诚实说出真相我才明白 这个角色的厚度和温度都是顶级的。因为知道Oliver还活着 知道她妈妈爸爸还有姐姐都为这条生命而疯而紧张 他才真正意识到错手杀了人 就该为这个事情负上责任。get不到吉伦哈尔的帅 但get到他的演技是比我一直不喜欢他的想象中要好得多。
过失杀人居然没有停职、心理疏导没有介入、还在接线处理警务，这个前提设置就无怪乎让主角情绪暴躁、自我解读并插手过多。后2/5看得打瞌睡。21/09/20
男主或许不那么完美 就像露露也是这样
狗电影+公路电影，最爱的两个电影元素的结合体，居然无聊到如此。影片暴露了查宁真的只是个没文化的可怜的大只佬。从片名、剧情再到表演，看到的只有粗鲁和粗糙。
公路片来说还是有点俗套…虽然养了狗看不得温情宠物片但这部真的没有打动我
钱老板挺不挑还能给狗狗做配，结果当然了狗是最可爱演技最好的，其他人都无所谓。。。
虽然不是我喜欢看的类型，故事主线也很简单，但看到最后却忍不住热泪盈眶，一个是男主与“女主”军犬Lulu的相互救赎，一个是Lulu和前主人的感情和忠诚，满治愈的电影，也不长，心情低落的时候推荐看一下。
因为狗狗片就带上了孩子一起看，却是一部创伤后遗症的大兵历程，狗狗戏份不多但是总体不错。
等了好久终于看到， 我觉得电影的名字起的真好啊，就叫《Dog》……平淡的讲述了“两”只战犬彼此治愈，回归到普通生活的过程~❤️
狗+公路+自我救赎题材的片子居然能拍这么平淡……
直接放了一把山火配合老杰的表演，乱烧一气；相比之下，原版可谓温和潮湿。
所谓“西方”的文明程度的确是高于人类平均值
还有就是男主去找女儿她们，没多久又出来，电影没有拍细节，但是也让人可以联想到具体发生了什么，留白挺好的。
自我赎罪。翻拍同样不错，老吉实力演出。★★★☆/7.5
表面上是说狗狗的故事，其实映射的是整个老兵群体的生存现状。过程有些平淡，最后的救赎来的也有些突兀，不过意义大于剧情本身
lu'lu终究是幸运的，最后被领养了，离开了残酷的工作和任务，被爱与温情包围后，也会逐渐淡化那些经历战争后的创伤吧。虽然片尾说是“in memory of lulu”，但感觉对于退役军人的救赎和治愈更多一些。
因为是翻拍所以就低分吗？情节，表演，节奏都很棒！
无聊透顶的人犬公路片，话痨不等于文艺，如果不是住酒店那段，根本笑不出来
我昏昏欲睡………故事就很浅啊，就不知道怎么然后就互相救赎了。或许人类就是很needy动物，需要被需要，需要那点拯救了什么的感觉。
