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".
印度的执行团队能力非常好，但是在节奏以及表演上，过于表面外化，剧作也是为了纯粹的正义，缺少裂痕。可是呢，这是印度1995年的案件，中国2022年了，还他妈这个吊样！
整个电影的BGM很足，常常弄的人很燃，一开始又好气、如果你想拍一部高分片，找一个善良的弱势群体被欺负的很惨，然后为他们呐喊准能高分。
一部绝望与希望交织的电影。
以此电影为例，从中展现出来的韩国影人的生命力和技艺，足以称得上是一种工匠精神。内地影人和市场应该自省，应该惭愧，应该学习。
一次灵魂洗澡，洗得非常透彻，瞬间觉得自己面目可憎。
看的时候数度落泪，太愤怒了。人生下来应当先是人，再被赋予其他意义。可有的人从根里就烂掉了。
质性自然，非矫厉所得。饥冻虽切，违己交病。尝从人事，皆口腹自役。于是怅然慷慨，深愧平生之志。犹望一稔，当敛裳宵逝。
若是人间不值得，就多抓鱼吧。世间万物自有道。
很长一段时间里，尤其是因为种姓制度，印度一直是压迫最为严重的国家之一。在看《杰伊·比姆》的大多数时间里，我和妻子都捏着拳头揪着心含着泪……
印度低种姓这种按照种族划分人群的制度至今依旧存在，影响是根深蒂固的，极其负面。影片基于这样一个背景，揭露这种体制下种种不公正待遇。一个抓蛇人含冤入狱被殴打致死，正义的律师克服万难，冤情才得以洗刷。但凡有关人权的议题，都与我们无关，一个在我们这无从展开的话题，就连探讨别人影片的内容都成了禁忌。递刀子这事肯定不能干，别人拿着刀子自己捅自己，我们驻足观看都不行——这就是现行审查制度铁一样的逻辑所在。与后来的《宿敌》立意接近，关照现实，意义深远。就表达方式和技巧而言是陈旧的、甚至是落后的。
3.5吧，但确实到不了4，故事还可以，应该算是读书人的浪漫了。但是其实剧情设置得很套路。
有更多可挖掘的人物事件
也没那么好，结尾不好，但那些诗，那些汉字，那些书籍，我们好像就没出现过一样，除了宫斗就是打仗
看完只想说，还好还好我生在中国，要是在印度，真不是人过的日子😂
大道至简，不过再坚贞的真理缺少了亲历体验，恐怕跟文盲倒拿着书本也差不了多少。传的道或许有些消极，却又是血与泪换来的人生真谛。强者未必权钱在握，但万不能失了风骨丢了尊严。前作《思悼》还没看，导演的古装戏拍得很有意蕴。
贱民努力追寻形而上学，士大夫饱受权力之苦追寻形而下学。贱民与士大夫，你是我师，我是你师。相互学习，取长补短。黑山兹山看山是山，看山不是山，看山还是山。对于绝大多数人来说，实用的学问才更值得追寻吧。实用的学问在哪里呢，在自然间，大山海间，在民间。而不是利用权力意志洗-脑的学问。不是为王-权服务的学问。「活成不断向上飞的鹤虽也不算坏事，但是即便身上沾满污水泥浆，也选择活得像兹山一样，虽外表看着黑暗，却生机勃勃自由自在，也未尝不是有意义的事啊。」
节奏很好，但是过于套路，双方人物刻画，探案剧情都很套路，没有一个令人印象深刻的人物。法院权力很大，还能判决给部落土地。
讲的非常浅显.把问题用简单的方式让人看到,这是大优点。
影片拍得并不怎么好，过份感性、过份戏剧化、过份突出个人英雄主义，但详尽展现了这个抗争司法暴力腐败的真实事件，值得观看。
