Creator is a 1985 film directed by Ivan Passer, starring Peter O'Toole, Vincent Spano, Mariel Hemingway, and Virginia Madsen. It is based on a book of the same title by Jeremy Leven.
Harry Wolper (played by O'Toole) is a Nobel Prize laureate in biology, obsessed by the possibility to clone his beloved late wife, Lucy. Helped by the student Boris Lafkin (Spano) and an eccentric egg-donor girl, Meli (Hemingway), Dr. Wolper finally succeeds in the cloning process, but the events leading to this achievement create strong bonds between himself and Meli, and also between Spano and his schoolmate, Barbara (Madsen). In the end, Harry realizes that he is in love with Meli, and interrupts the cloning process dropping the last cells of Lucy into the sea.
Plot
Dr. Harry Wolper is a character. First he steals Boris, a new student assistant by promising him a co-ed's phone number. Then he hijacks new high tech equipment for his own research, confusing the other university researchers who can't see "the big picture." Harry has a plan, he wants to clone his dead wife, but first he needs an egg and a host. He mounts his search by stapling notices to every telephone pole in town from his bike, which is how he meets Mili. As the year progresses, he sees Boris' romance follow the same pattern as his own, twenty-five years ago.

He is obsessed to re-create his wife...she died thirty years ago.
It's potentially dangerous, probably illegal and definitely crazy.
Boris: Wanna know something really crazy, Harry?::Dr Harry Wolper: Always.
Boris: We're gonna do it, Harry.::Dr Harry Wolper: Oh no. YOU. Are going to do it.
Dr Harry Wolper: I tell you Sid, that one of these days we'll look in to our microscope and find ourselves staring right into God's eyes, and the first one who blinks is going to lose his testicles.
Boris: You know, Harry, I'm still trying to find the big picture but I keep missing it because I am so in love with Barbara that nothing else matters.::Dr Harry Wolper: What makes you think you are missing it?
Dr Harry Wolper: Another of the dilemmas "in which we are all", Pavlo, is that there are too many damn machines around here. We're all missing The Big Picture.
Dr Harry Wolper: Sequencer? Sid doesn't need a sequencer, Pavlo.... And he doesn't have the room for it anyway.::Pavlo: Oh, he put all of his animals in my lab.::[pause]::Dr Harry Wolper: Sid may have the only biology lab in the world that has nothing alive in it.
Mrs Pruitt: [to Dr Wolper] Dr Novak called. He said that your proposed address to the Medical Congress on "The Profit Incentive in Misdiagnosis" is really not very funny at all.
Dr Harry Wolper: Any news on that student assistant I want?::Mrs Pruitt: Oh, yes. Mrs Gonzalez from the registrar's office called with regard to your request for another slave, and wanted me to remind you that she is still waiting to hear why exactly it is that you permitted Dennis Goffman to submit the Bible for his dissertation. Quote, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I subject another graduate student to the kind of zoo that - " and then she started speaking in Spanish.
Boris: That's it? One course in "The Big Picture". 12 credits.::Dr Harry Wolper: It's very big. 12 credits probably isn't enough, it's so big.::Boris: I think I'll go back down to registration.::Dr Harry Wolper: There are no exams. Grades are based on interest and participation.::Boris: It's ok with me, I like exams.::Dr Harry Wolper: MY assistantships pay $3,500.::Boris: So do everybody else's.::Dr Harry Wolper: Also, I know the name of the girl you followed into the lab.::[pause]::Boris: I need to think.::Dr Harry Wolper: Think there.
Dr Sid Kullenbeck: Come on Harry, I need him. I'm running a tight well-oiled machine over in my lab, and every insignificant little cog counts. Now where the hell is the little fucker?::Boris: The little fucker is over here, sir.
They aren't just for humans anymore.

Saw you in the subway, twisting and falling
Train echoes in the stale air of a tunnel
Falling
Spinning in circles
We lose all direction
And fall where no arms can come rushing to catch us
Saw you on the 14th floor, twisting and falling
Scream bounces in the bright sun of a canyon
Fading
Hang on
Don't wake up
Now I want to tell you things
Only have seen by few
In the miracles
One has read my mind and draw
The life I long to live
And said don’t fool yourself now
Discard the greed inside (feel light inside)
Cause you have known it all along
Listen to your voice inside
Then I spread my wings so high ready to fly
And now I see and feel it all
So I thank you and I thank you
Now I want to tell you things
Only have seen by few
Happens in this world
One has read beyond my mind
Reveal the shame inside
And said let go of ambition
Discard the greed inside (you’ll) feel light inside
Cause you have had it all along
Listen to your voice inside
And I spread my wings so high ready to fly
And now I see and feel it all
So I thank you and I thank you
Discard the greed inside (you’ll) feel light inside
You have had it all
Listen to your voice inside and now
I spread my wings so high ready to fly
And I see and feel it all
Got no need for the fancy things
All the attention that it brings
Tell me no, I say yes, I was chosen
And I will deliver the explosion
Can't say it's gonna get me far
Do no good to say what you are
I run the streets and I break up houses
River runs deep and the flame devours it
Me, I'm a Creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar
Me, I'm a Taker
Know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood
Got to play our cards
Sit tight I know what you are
mad bright but you aint no star
polish up til you make it gleam
your M.O, I know what you mean
Tail ridin' and I know it's true
while they screamin' I love you
Down deep you know there aint no flow
a soul decay, was D.O.A
I know what you here for now
Words out you're an idea whore though,
now don't you crush on me
I'll see you in your pipe dreams
whether or not you know it's true
You're who they dictate to
That shit must hurt real bad
fakin' what you wish you had
Here all the folks come ask about me
Band wagon, know they used to doubt me
Blind side tend to hit real hard
you should heed the warning, get a body guard
Steady friction in this bitch
Creepin' in just like an itch
so far I got the last laugh
still the rich rise up, still I live fast
wouldn't know it face to face
Got no soul and got no taste
Moving in speed up the pace
I got it locked though, what a waste
All the talk is standard fare
Walk the walk if it gets you there
on the grind til the gig is up
Im 'a smash 'em down
Do you ever wonder
Wonder what is beyond this big blue ball
Is there something under
Something underneath the surface of it all
There?s one million billion planets spinning out in space
Galaxies and galaxies he put them all in place
He set them all in motion all the powers that can be
It?s such a funny notion to think he cares for me
But it's plain to see
My best friend?s the creator of the universe
Although he?s bigger than the milky way
He wants to know about my life today
Do you ever wonder
What if God was somewhere up there in the sky?
What if He was much closer
Closer than your toaster, closer than your tie?
What if God came down
Came to your home town?
What if God was walking around?
What if it?s all true?
What if God loves you?
Heard of your voice, heard the melody of your song
Know of your passion of your roots and culture
For you know who brings forth, all the fruits of nature
Who brings forth your light when the earth turn to dark
Hear i little darling, ease your troubles down
Hold to your faith, watch your troubles drown
Virtuous girl
Jah has your heart
Lust of earth couldn't set you apart
This i know, have no doubt
Cuz true faith never quick to give out
Virtuous girl your eyes remind me of a time before this life
Back to a dream when evil did cease
As the dawn of time yea
Like a chizel to a rock,
You have worked spoken word, carved them into i heart
See truth in you eyes, hits all the time
And heals as the green herb
As smoke is driven away, drive them away
Hold to your faith
Jah see them from far away
And judges their fate
Hear i little darling, just sow to your ground
Reap your love, for the wicked gone down
Virtuous girl
Jah has your heart
Lust of earth couldn't set you apart
This i know, have no doubt
Cuz true faith never quick to give out
Virtuous girl your eyes remind me of a time before this life
Back to a dream when evil did cease
As the dawn of time yea
Ring out your voice, ring out your voice
Virtuous girl
I am not of your world, your precious pearls
Not value to i
Boy i only want to take you
Back to the dawn with me cuz i
Know the number of noble men are few
Take me away to the dawn of time
Virtuous girl
Jah has your heart
Lust of earth couldn't set you apart
This i know, have no doubt
Cuz true faith never quick to give out
Virtuous girl your eyes remind me of a time before this life
Back to a dream when evil did cease
Like hidden shadows in the blackness of the galaxy, her eyes looked over
the carbon-desert, enlighted by the orange-red glow of the turbulent
pools of magma, flowing wildly through the liquid centre. But neither
the deafening sounds of colliding plateaus of stone, nor the penetrable
and sickening heat from the yellowish stream of the molten materials,
boiling up from the deepest bottoms of the unstable ground she floated
above, could touch nor trigger her fragile senses.
Her hands hung in the air and bolts of electricity mazed her aura in
mysterious and frightening white. But there was no one there to fear
her, and no one there to love. It would take another million of the
lifetimes she had lead alone in the intensely silent darkness of the
emptiness of time before. The emptiness she knew by every inch, while
she travelled through the stargate, onwards to the place of her magic
spawn.
And when it finally resurrected from the ashes of its experimental and
primitive predecessors, it feared their creator hidden in the elements
of the surroundings. But when time went on and her children began to
evolve and mature their minds they seemed to forget or ignore their
collective roots, which lay a million lightyears and dimensions from
their homes. And most of them completely cleared their minds of powers
they had unknowingly inherited from the double helix of the gods.
And it was only centuries later that some of them rediscovered their
alienated origin, and began to breed the magic they all carried hidden
deeply in the id of the mind, still unharmed. And these chosen few would
give birth to a powerful line of the dominion, destined to change the
world once and for all into what her creator had meant it to be, when
You will burn.
How can you welcome me, when you went through everything?
I know you see through me, I know you see through me.
How can I face you when I am unholy?
How can I face you when I am unworthy?
I'm not ready to die yet.
I'm not ready for judgement.
I know I've turned my back in disbelief. What do I know?
This selfish heart that I'm giving up for you. What do I know?
I know I've turned away, but I've found my place in your hands and I'm in your heart.
I'm in your hands, I will not fear, 'cause this time I'll see.
You will not fear, 'cause this time you'll see.
I can't turn this off no I can't make this stop.
I'm the safety that you forgot, Burn it all.
Everybody's got some kind of
Belief about creator
Some say openly, "I don't know,"
Some build elevators
To take the chosen few
Who can afford the scenic view
To the top of some big tower
Looking out on fields of blue
Walking clouds on caves of emptiness
That fall around their minds
To flirt openly with vapor
And the trail it leaves behind
Fences fly and sidewalks cry
Concerning our creator
Turning loose the butterfly
That ate the alligator
Picking up its open-ended
Holographic roots
It moved out to the tower
To look down on me and you
Walking caves of empty water
In the boring morning rain
Making love to open windows
And the vapor trails' refrain
Got no need for the fancy things
All the attention that it brings
Tell me, no, I say, yes, I was chosen
And I will deliver the explosion
Can't say it's gonna get me far
Do no good to say what you are
I run the streets and I break up houses
River runs deep and the flame devours it
Me, I'm a creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar
Me, I'm a taker
Know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood
Got to play our cards
Me, I'm a creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place

Rebel ah talk again man go tell you friend
Chorus:
Everything else can stay till later

Because ah God ah the man who have the plan
Whe the whole world have fi go call upon
Mi bawl out God ah the man wha have the plan
Him have the big wide world inna him hand
Omnipotent omnipresent omniscient character
The I am that I am Alpha and Omega
The ever-living ever-truthful faithful forever
And it seems like most people can't remember
Unti I them find themself inna big disaster
Like hurricane and fire earthquake and tremor
Dem deh time dem deh dem knee down inna sincere prayer
But you can't use Jah when you want a favor
You haffi love him every second every minute every hour
Chorus
You know the big man them weh claim say that them rule
Them try fi dis Jah program them look like fool
'Cause anytime them hear Jah name the whole a dem haffi cool
'Cause this ya earth is God footstool
Because ah God an the man who have the plan
Whe the whole world have fi go call upon
Mi bawl out God ah the man wha have the plan
Him have the big wide world inna him hand
Me say the way the man good and great
We shoulda give thanks and shouldn't really wait
Him can destroy and Him can create
Shut and unlock the gate
Make we praise Him before its too late
All we gotta do is have some faith
Exercise patience and wait
One more time from the scripture line
Chorus
Him ah the ruler of all ruler
Him an the kings of all kings
Him ah the morning and evening
Ending and the beginning
He's the one that take care
And the one you should fear
Him ah the natural mystic that s flowing through the air
Ah beg unnu seek wisdom and try understand
Jah Jah made us because him have an excellent plan
Created us in his image and oh just so we tan
Say him no want us to represent no other man
Chorus
The one who give life the one who always a blow breath
The one who alone have the power to destroy them
The one who mek we prophesy and mek it fulfill
Authorize Joshua ti mek the son stand still
Me check the magnitude and all his mysteries
Cannot find words to describe how great he is
All we got to do is give thanks and praises
And spread love like breeze going through the branches
Because ah God ah the man who have the plan
Whe the whole world have fi go call upon
Mi bawl out God an the man wha have the plan
Him have the big wide world inna him hand
This one here's for The Creator
'Trying to get over...' like Curtis Mayfield said
I was a problem child, running wild in the night
Livin on a not-so-safe set of life
Caught up in the rapture, quick to blast ya
Neglected as a juvenile, so labelled a 'ghetto bastard'
Forced to live the life of a hoodster on the prowl
Goin through my life with a permanent frown
But still you stood by me and you got me here safely
Never turned away from me when others lost faith in me
Even when I was a non-believer and doubted your existence
You still shed mercy on my ignorance
How can I say this, no words can't explain
How much I thank you for helpin me deal with the pain
For sparin my life at times I thought I was through
All praise is due, here's to you
[ CHORUS ]
This is for the lover in you
This is for the things that you do
This time I will take up for you
Cause your love's gon' last forever
Now as I reminisce like Minnie Riperton in a Pendleton
I'm havin flashbacks 'lookin at these photographs'
Glancin at old flicks of me and my dogs
Thinkin how we all played little league football
No set-trippin, we was down for one another
>From pups to mutts, we came up, Westside hustlers
You couldn't stop us, no matter what you told us
Starched Curduroys with the fresh peachy folders
Washington High School, damn, them was the days
The 12th grade came and we went our own ways
Doin what we had to do to make ends meet
Some of us went to college and some kicked the streets
Some of us passed away, some just faded
Some turned snitch, and some is incarcerated
Me, I been blessed to catch wreck over beats
But without you, this wouldn't be complete
[ CHORUS ]
(Ooh child, things ain't gettin any easier...)
Survivin in the ghetto you gotta stay strong
But realistically no man out here can make it alone
Ain't no sleepin, none of us creepin
I see the men that's in the streets, and
Smokers fiendin, the drama got me thinkin
How I need to play as if I was a Stylistic
And stop and look and listen
Take a second out to count my blessings
Cause you coulda laid me down a long time ago
But you let me live, and God knows I ain't a angel
So I'ma take this opportunity to flip the script
For the lover of you, cause props is due
For sparin my life at times I thougth I was through
I gotta give it up, here's to you
Everybody wants some more
Everybody, take some more
Justified to meet their maker
Satisfied to be your creator
You want more out of life
As is sucks out your eyes
Fashion ain't no surprise
Lower your chin and open wide
Strapped in your mirror world, silently waiting
But something's coming at you
So turn around 'cause here it comes, here it comes
Here it comes
Everyday you'll wake up to know,
I'll be watching you, see every move that you make
Everyday you'll wake up to know,
I'll be there each time, hear everything that you say
You got to keep yourself alive
Your fate is shortened and supplied
It's a burning design for the crucified
Strapped in your mirror world, silently waiting
But something's coming at you
So turn around 'cause here it comes, here it comes
Here it comes
Everyday you'll wake up to know,
I'll be watching you, see every move that you make
Everyday you'll wake up to know,
I'll be there each time, hear everything that you say
Every time you walk away
I'll be watching you, see every move that you make
There'll never be a place you can go
There ain't no denying
Sometimes she flies away
So high she flies away
Ya know it's clear, ya know it's time, deciding when
Ya know it's clear, ya know it's time, deciding when
Justified will meet their maker
