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".
感谢三角字幕组成员百忙中抽出时间来做字幕 致那些得不到保护的人 片尾阿部宽出现在演员最后一个，导演出现在所有的最后
有些黑幕只是试探性挖掘的浅尝辄止，显露了冰山一角，伪善的部分被淡化了。
15-098日本《致那些得不到保护的人》
关于普通公民如何被“正常”饿死的故事。这个当口看感触会格外深刻。关键它不光写了表象，还探索了造成这种情况的东方社会和人性的内层。触碰到了最关键的地方。
泪点很多。女主有王朔笔下人物的那种劲儿。王珞丹演技真好，还有老王，倍儿正宗的北京爷们儿感。还有丁教授和妹妹，都太有特点了，这种人物刻画很鲜活的电影非常喜欢，尽管不商业，后半段有点男主独角戏，有些凌乱。但真的非常值得买票。
眼下看这个真的是……在天灾人祸不断，各种问题防不胜防的今天，看这部电影只会让人觉得更难过～
社会救助怎么照顾个人的尊严？再潦倒的人也需要，尊严。哭死我了。越是这样沉默缓慢的讲这样的故事，看完越是悲痛。
震后创伤+生活保障的题材不错，可惜导演拍得又平又浅。清原确实表现很出色，最佳女配实至名归。
“小偷家族”式的亲情，兄妹情。
其实这部电影选择聚焦的社会问题还是可圈可点的，一方面是提不出低保要求的贫困者，一方面是对低保的滥用者，一方面是夹在中间只能明哲保身的执行者，这样的冲突造成了政治上的圆满而实际中的残缺。但是夹杂一个刑事案件反而让这部电影留于俗套，不如就像《老后破产》或《看护杀人》那样呈现现实，可能更体现深度。
什么玩应… 这种电影为啥会上映啊 …宽哥全程像个武士一样 一直嘶吼 生气。然后感觉 就有点又臭又长… 可能真的没有经历过所以体会不到吧。
故事渐渐就狗血起来了，但U1S1，后半部时不时给你来一段意识流感觉还是不错的，抛却剧情，意识流透露出的人物的情绪和感受还是很可的。
电影如果只有一个半小时会更好，男主虽然没老，但也没学会享受生活，可惜了。
在我心中和ひとよ一样，就题材和情节展开来说其实可以拍的更好，但也不算差了。喜欢几段插叙和节奏。佐藤健真鸡儿帅，回忆里和果耶的几个镜头很养眼。
不过 片子很好 下回别拍了
2022.5.1于上海。此时此刻看未免多生感触。
说细点吧，主角可真牛逼，我千禧年之后才知道啥是蛋挞，他80年代就吃到啦!
时间跨度这么大，想要的太多反而什么都不能得到，童年的那段描写即多余又拖沓。
全剧独白太多了，感情的刻画实在太少了，每一个片段能体现出来的情感真的不多，有一种《阿甘》似的影子，又又一种《返老还童》似的影子，但是总感觉哪里缺了点什么，体会不到哪里感人的点，男女主的感情羁绊只有小时候的几个片段，也都是独白构成的，男女主又像胡歌演的《猎场》似的，两人互相思念互相爱恋，但却就是无法在一起。 男主的很多事情的动机也实在搞不清楚，为何最后要去漂泊？？最后叙事的讲述了男主的一生，像是快进片！
看到这女的就能猜到她肯定是凶犯，男主替她背锅的……天灾无可避免，人祸呢！！！
