剧情介绍

The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years. At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with. But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood. I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential. by D.R.

    人总是会被与自己相似或者渴望成为的人吸引,年下的渴望得到认可,年上的虽然渴望那份激情与自由,但克制已经压过一切。

    剧情设定上其实还可以再打磨打磨,但是确实是近年来剧场版里比较精彩的了

    剧情比预想的要好,能看到saber和revice联动已经很满足了,saber真的是个好故事,希望revice也能不负众望吧……

    男主黑化导致男二竞选失败,但个人觉得在彼时彼刻,男主不黑化,也是左右不了结果的,说白了就是那时候内外环境还不允许。还是剧本太顺拐,不高级。

    电型的法式爱情电影,女主角从头到尾的快奔,不仅带快了剧情节奏,还让人遥想到《罗拉快跑》!声明我是被明亮,艳丽的海报吸引过来的

  • 然槐 2小时前 :

    常出现的镜头是anais在跑着,知道自己想要什么并能坚定的去追求真的太好了。沙滩那一段太美了,最后本以为又是一个“我很喜欢你但是现实是这样作为理智的成年人我们应该就此结束”的故事。但有了“不我不同意”。

  • 龚芸馨 9小时前 :

    观影体验非常紧张紧凑,它不得不这样快到让人无法审视其中的破绽。片名叫一个政治家的诞生比较好。总体无过 但很无聊🥱

  • 郏琬莠 3小时前 :

    可以把遇到作家之前的部分都剪掉……作家太美了,很吸引人。 感情还得是双向的才能行。

  • 美萱 8小时前 :

    英雄和父爱真是再贴切不过的主题 假面骑士们是守护大家的英雄 父亲是守护家庭的英雄 父子线的故事在大家看来或许有些混乱含糊 但是在我看来 男人之间的情感表达或许就是这样 朦胧 但却体现在微不足道的细节 他或许不会大声告诉你 他爱你 他只会默默珍藏 和你定下的约定 和那张跨越百年 最后回到你身边的车票

  • 郝骏燕 1小时前 :

    本来以为是一个圆满的夏日fling故事,已经期待BE美学结局,没想到被阿娜伊斯一句“我不同意”给搅乱。艾米丽是清醒松弛的,她缓缓点出这段恋情的不合,甚至利用被感情点燃的激情去写出作品,鼓励阿娜伊斯寻找自我,也轻易说服观众。但年轻的,热情奔放的血液不应许。这就是为什么我们永远向往青春的美好吧。当真挚的感情如潮水涌上时,我们只能轻闭眉睫回吻,让理性见鬼去吧。

  • 涵韵 2小时前 :

    把saber的主题约定和revice的主题家族都用上了,克隆骑士那段有点搞笑,穿着前辈们的皮套吃瘪。托马和贤人竟然没有一句对话,是tv里太甜,传说中的“避嫌”吗?主题曲特别好听,I wanna be your hero。还有个小彩蛋是超级英雄战记假面一号本乡猛演员出场,本剧场版里也有本乡猛,由本乡猛演员儿子出演。

  • 梁丘春柔 6小时前 :

    【我明明打的过,但因剧情需要死活不换形态强行营造危机感】属于MOVIE大战的通病,神代兄妹➕门田过不了亡命众也是离天之大谱,所撑起时长的重头戏父子感情方面也并没有多亮眼,明明世界都要完蛋了父子还强行煽情的傲娇文戏真的很墨迹。整体来看文武戏还算凑合 中规中矩的程度,十圣刃yyds!另外木下对博士和vice原案人设的修改痕迹过于明显生硬,导致博士现在就像个ex的双标狗。

  • 欣函 6小时前 :

    这几天在脱口秀大会小组整天看人争辩杨笠是不是女权,很多女孩爱她爱她很爱她,恨不能以身相许。这部片子真的,应证了笠姐的人生态度,即女人是自由的:自己决定生活方式,决定性生活方式,生不生孩子,爱谁或不爱谁,还有:男人,垃圾!😂😂
