Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
本来觉得4分 后来想想我要是在电影院看的应该会哭到不能自已 太可惜错过了
疫情隔离期间看这部电影，更会唤起内心对生活的向往吧。
3.5。喜欢朴素的部分。©孙海鹏、张苗、九连真人到场。
天空中振翅的蝴蝶，带着希望飞向荒野中，夕阳下，促成一幅温馨的定格画面。
3.喊口号的励志真的要吐了。跨越擎天柱不如去争一争给父亲申请工伤补偿（对不起好煞风景
末日片+公路电影+成长史，Jeff在阳光下爆爆米花兴奋跺脚喊着again again，期待名字，仰望极光，感受太阳与蝴蝶，义无反顾奔向金门大桥……他一直拥有这些原始的情绪，并单纯地作出每一件事。他靠在濒死的Finch肩头上难过，送他到大桥，和他的狗一起，他完成了指令里的外的所有事。he is not a machine
杰夫也是个宝宝啊，唉穷人的孩子早当家，每次被爸爸痛心疾首地训而他一副蔫头耷脑的模样真就惹人疼，爸爸死了以后他坏了谁给他修理，狗子寿终正寝他的机生使命完成后该怎么办，要是机器狗杜威没挂还能给他做个伴，只能希望他把宅男爸爸学了个全日后能给自己造出一个伙伴吧，也没准还会收养一只流浪狗子然后带着它四处走天天给它讲故事，once upon a time……
点映。差点因为名字而错过了李白的诗。年度最佳国产动画。黄飞鸿、周星驰、《激战》，致敬了无数港片。配乐选得恰到好处，满，但快意，人文色彩与现实主义齐飞。无厘头风格喜剧下包裹着悲剧的内核，随着两代人追梦的足迹，又煽又燃。梦想这东西，从来都是那么一言难尽啊，即便中年又如何呢。
最后的彩蛋把片子整体拔高了一星，实在喜欢。
此外，笑点只有一个，动作是不错的，但舞狮动作节奏太快缺些许真正的南狮味，我把播放速度调到0.75倍速才是接近真实舞狮的速度，即便这样，真实南狮的表演中狮子的拟态动作在动画中略少了些，缺的狮味就在这两处。
对比于其他竞赛式励志电影，这部片有所不同的是故事前中期一直压抑着舞狮竞赛的戏份，切磋、预选赛都是省略带过，不把舞狮作为商业元素来展示，叙事的重心始终放在阿娟几人逐梦舞狮圈和生活的麻烦之间的摇摆，每当他们的燃起一点热血向上的苗头，外部总会很“适时”地打破他们的梦想，现实总在告诉他们追逐梦想、突破颓废有多么艰难，也正是现实的种种困顿让影片不断积累能量在最后的舞狮比赛上一次性释放。以商业逻辑来说，他们的获胜是可以预见，但正是有前期不断积累的能量，所以这可预见的结果依然会感人，看似俗套的煽情手法还是能奏效。印象最深的场景是阿娟在天台舞完狮，太阳出来，这时一个全景，阿娟站在天台上，前面是一栋更比一栋高的都市钢铁丛林，如同一座座舞狮桩。舞狮场上也许能越上擎天柱，而都市的摩天高楼是更高的桩，更难越过的山。
距离科幻作品还有挺大差距，要以科幻要求的话，影片思考的东西太少了，更违背一些科学常理，所以是个寓言性质的童话故事。为狗子造机器人的设定很好的，但是把机器人造这么AI那么就为照顾狗子平添了很多麻烦和隐患，这个太拟人的机器更多是为了戏剧性的需要。但无论如何依然拍得挺好的，老汉克斯的独角戏过硬，细节太丰富却又不让人觉得油腻，面部极具表现力，所以他演的你能信服。故事太单调了，但由于这样好的表演，依然顺畅快速地看完，以及哭得稀里哗啦。
文化自信的内核应该是真实的自信，而不是自卑
Jeff把头靠在Finch怀里的时候就知道这是告别了，人的生命终究是脆弱的，扛过了末日扛过了人心，没能扛过生老病死，留下刚来世界几天的Jeff和狗。其实Finch于Jeff来说，又何尝不是父亲。
一种另类的英雄之旅，成为英雄并不会改变生活，但可以改变你自己。英雄也一样要面对生活，而舞狮传奇只是阿娟的序章，他的故事才刚刚开始。
弘扬传统，科普舞狮，加分。场景写实，很中国城乡结合部，采风的确下了一番功夫。故事俗不可耐，但失意中年与底层混子的逐梦，也可称热血。令人遗憾的便是面部建模，宽眼距加吊眼角，令人出戏，连后排的孩子见到阿猫也惊呼：“这人怎么没眼睛呀！”呔，因此而引发热议，致使大众无法聚焦于电影的艺术价值，埋没了其他主创人员的工作成果，不可谓不遗憾。
要有爱和光啊～～～～～～
好看的，虽然剧情很套路。（后排小孩老是踢椅子，哼。）
这是啥破电影啊就8分多，要情节没情节，要表演没表演，要科幻没科幻，只有中国给这么高分数，疫情憋着了吧！
缺点很明显，几乎成缺陷，拯救只有推翻重来。
