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
看起来狗血奇情的故事“平行”的是另一段隐匿的历史。暴力的遗产成为自身中的他者，又与断裂的亲缘有着相似性。快门按下，拍下时尚的包装和过去的骸骨，新生的错位与故去的还原。从口腔探究生之脉络，就如挖开地表寻觅死之秘密。
两条线都特别好 但是相互之间实在太割裂了 很可惜
依然是很有辨识度的阿莫多瓦的个人风格，饱和度极强的色彩，令人期待的奇情，以及特点鲜明的女性视角。但是明显感觉阿大师有点老了，没以前那么先锋，奇情没那么奇了，尺度也把控的可接受范围之内，电影更是破天荒的减少个人艺术表达，与西班牙历史更多的结合，表现出一份对社会的信任感。
但我还是很喜欢佩德罗的电影 他把情感透过视听描绘的很动人 让人很容易沉醉到他的世界
非常喜欢！加一星给Penélope女神，她与小女主的邂逅某种意义上是和二十多年前关于我母亲的一切中两位女主间所缔结的女性同盟的延续
最近总刷到小高演芭比肯化的照片都不抱啥期待了 但这电影里他还是很有魅力的！剧情就那样但因为有喜欢的演员所以就看得很开心 CE那句id rather u punch me in the dick哈哈哈
抱错婴儿-莫名百合-历史创伤，你到底想说什么？还是不要拿“平行”“母亲”来深化内涵吧。总之，不甚理想。
当她们在床上，真就是亲密无间了。
剧本问题有点大，如此黏合两个故事的结果就是两个故事都讲不好：当下的故事狗血；历史的故事空洞无力，缺少了点厚重。这部从剧本到布景到镜头都不够精细，有点像赶工之作。
只可惜一些过于明显的剧情问题，导致《灰影人》难以获得五星赞誉。这些问题例如，美队的角色给电影带来了一些轻松幽默的元素，但跟其他角色的严肃格格不入；在恶劣的战斗环境中会时不时插入一些喜剧，这种半吊子，导致让观众在面对严肃的情节时无法认真对待。
前年弗朗哥的遗骸被迁出烈士谷，整个过程在各大电视台和流媒体直播；近年来为在独裁统治时期消失的人正名并给予他们的后代补贴的倡议也持续不断。阿莫多瓦终于在母题上加上了国族的层次，被调包的孩子隐喻被隐瞒和篡改的历史。人们已经对那段历史失语，该如何面对父辈的沉默？历史的记忆由谁书写，人民的记忆由谁诉说……
阿莫多瓦的电影再次说明，母系氏族一起养育孩子才是人类社会的出路
有点电视剧的那种质感。

從情節肥皂劇到歷史轉型正義，從平行母親的生活情節拉到歷史對生活的影響，真的沒想到可以這樣拉在一起，但在觀影當下真的會讓我主動拉在一起，而當我主動聯想在一起的時候，下一幕馬上就是Janis對Ana坦白的時刻，那個人類的共通性真的被阿莫多瓦抓住。
其实电影还可以 就是抱错孩子的戏码看得太多了 最后的结局也是意料之中
阿莫多瓦的水准一直在线，剧情既简单又深刻，内战这段伤疤还是要自己揭开。
还好爱上阿莫多瓦的时候是他的巅峰期，不然没有滤镜大概只有一星
3.5 感受到了历史部分的提升 可是两个女人之间......
6.3 结尾才揭晓平行的另一层含义以及基因技术的作用，但中间的奇情和头尾之间太格格不入了
