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.
TV版动画11-14集的合辑篇，主要内容就是三个主角第一次相遇，而后在一个会各种转换的房子里，炭治郎打败了下玄鬼，之后休养生息，准备前往蜘蛛山，相比较于原本的TV版，这个特别版并没有加入什么新内容，看过原版的可以不再看这个，但是如果是想要体会连续性较强的对战，这个版本还是可以一看的，而且这段打斗里，敲鼓变换空间还是很有视觉效果的，最后炭治郎在沉浸之中获得成长，用大招破解一切，也制作的非常出色，如果想要重温剧情，又觉得分集看比较麻烦，还是可以一看本片的。
苹果电影，艺术感，科幻感十足，不同于克隆的谈虎色变，本片似乎给出了不同的答案，在深刻和先驱的方面前进了大大的一步
苹果的价值观让片子指向科技会给人带来慰藉和温暖，甚至超越伦理让人类迈进新的境界。但也许我带太悲观，我正看着科技把人类带进1984，完全无法共鸣
我太喜欢女明星那个大结局了，这才是真大团圆，口音并不代表什么，永远别忘了你和谁在一起，and also，穷人家的女儿无所畏惧。
好家伙，让乌姆里奇来送麦格教授一程！Dominic West诡计多端现场求婚，拐走小管家，让我为托马斯的美国梦略微担忧。马修古迪婚礼葬礼一个都不参加 ，死在土耳其算了，离婚吧！
喜欢这种调调，缓缓叙事，娓娓道来，表面溪流入场，里面暗潮涌动，纠结与挣扎之后，唯有爱，让一切和解，技术的价值判断在善与恶之间，最终的解决方案，还是爱，虽然主旨俗套，但表演不俗，拍摄不俗，音乐不俗，观感自然不俗。
唐顿庄园的风格：略有小波澜但都是虚惊一场，基本就是一团和气皆大欢喜。但这一部最后老太太居然走了，也知道演员年纪大了终有离开的那一天，但还是好舍不得这个犀利的老太太啊。
山猪的加盟契机过于突兀，其它的特点比如鬼的能力设置，bgm和画面一如既往的优秀。

蛮有意思的！但是就是感觉刚刚展开就结束了。感觉鬼灭一直有这个问题吧。
都自动驾驶了，都克隆人了，都移植记忆了，都隐形眼镜4k播片了，人类还是没有克服癌症。
虽然和克隆和个体之间达成了和解，也和自己和解，但是就算有百分之九十九的相似，也有一些细微的改变，比如爱狗变成怕狗，更多的还有什么都是未知的，甚至一些我们自己都不知道的，就是有这些存在，才让个体独特，所以再像也不是那个人了。
（TV动画第11话~第14话总集篇。）
唐顿真正的「情节」在第二季就结束了，拖着一口气靠层出不穷的日常插曲和幽默讥讽的台词一直撑到现在。最多能说是电视加长番外篇，即使以默片进入有声时代，楼上楼下阶层挪移的设计嵌入电影内部拍摄电影的互文结构，本片依然是一场呵护保守主义，凌空时代病症的美梦，和电影没有任何关系。英式贵族文化的奇观消费从立意上就和无情解剖等级制度的原作大相径庭，失去能裹挟群像推进的主线剧情之后，进入「养老」模式的唐顿和满足风情观光的观众达成共识，于是病态促成于传统价值「大团圆」的结局成了剧本的唯一要务。每一个角色都值得幸福——是的，多达四十个的人物之中有一半都始终坚信侍奉主人致死是最完美的人生，这张泡沫巨网十多年坚韧如初。
这一集就还蛮……崩的。
"Stop the noise--I can't hear myself die."
差点爆出惊天狗血，
Ali厉害的地方就在于，不会让你在观看影片时单独读到他演技的存在，一切那么柔和，融入在电影和情节里面。
😏剧场版加点新东西剪成TV还不够，还要把TV再剪成剧场版。
