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.

    故事有点燕双鹰,整个过程和演技还可以,牛逼哄哄的反派们太弱了,砍瓜切菜就找回了女儿,还带内讧帮忙的,疯婆子的确帅,有种悲凉小丑女的感觉,瞎子全程开挂开的太狂了,动不动来个喜剧插曲有点出戏,看个热闹还是很好的

    老实说,剧情挺套路,但是人物设定塑造的不错,演员演技都蛮好的,我最喜欢那个女反派,演的真不错,而且里面打戏看着也挺厉害,总体还是蛮好看的。

  • 吾朋义 3小时前 :

    整部电影几乎一无是处,孙千烂中放光芒,张海宇普通发挥。

  • 养安然 1小时前 :

    观众在看电影的时候,就会从中看到“朋友”甚至“自己”。没有刻意的渲染煽情,只有细腻的呈述和展现;没有矫情尴尬的台词,只有出于生活又高于生活的用心。编剧借助再次同框的“养鱼CP”,说透了感情的“痒”,却也没忘了发糖。

  • 冼语芹 0小时前 :

    剧情怎样无所谓,这种爽片我都看。。女主过于用力,但不影响!

  • 任承志 6小时前 :

    有优点,抓住了生活中的平凡,但平凡却不伟大,没有抽象的能力,只有无数的具体,广院拍片的通病。

  • 台幻翠 7小时前 :

    什么元素都有了,女一亮瞎我们的眼睛,一镜到底也设计的很好

  • 仁弘懿 9小时前 :

    打戏还是不错的,安志杰适合拍这种拳拳到肉的打戏,有点甄子丹的味道。

  • 卫一丁 0小时前 :

    网大中算质量不错了,打斗场面很燃很爽,情节bug还挺多的,比如主角女儿被绑这件事很莫名其妙很偶然、主角光环有些过分了、以及男主对疯女人装的警察最初那么相信?开头不是很吸引人,看进去之后还是挺爽的,其他在网大里真的不错了,甚至比有些院线还好。另外,网大什么时候可以自信地甩掉软色情的镜头呢?不是不能有,是可以处理得更高级。

    竟然复合了 拳头硬了 这个片子唯一的优点就是真实 因为男人就是这么的不负责任

  • 怀梓柔 4小时前 :

    爱奇艺上看的,动作爽片,剧情就不要推敲了。

  • 充欣然 3小时前 :

    最后,在认识当天就可以上楼坐坐的当代速食爱情里,以年为单位的恋爱,真是难得,以日以月计,才是很多人的写照吧——随随便便在一起,随随便便分开,故事都没讲完,又要什么理解懂得?

  • 和沛山 3小时前 :

    听说这是网大?拍得比院线片强多了好吧!虽然毛病也不少,但真的够燃!安志杰是真的帅!

  • 帅白翠 2小时前 :

    No.2426 很无聊的一部工业爱情片。我觉得他们会分手,是因为女主太作了。男主最后实在没必要觉得自责,他能去想曾经没有关注女主的感受,是因为现在他成功了,现在有这个精力了。而女主当时呢?

  • 弘年 8小时前 :

    一众烂片里面矮子拔将军,男女不易,就是里面口音五花八门太出戏

  • 仉诗蕾 0小时前 :

    不难看,甚至前半段还真的挺甜的,但是细究起来逻辑很有问题,严谨面对相亲男的女主角轻易就和男主角坠入爱河,第一晚就带回家有够扯,没几天就住在一起,还养了狗,男主角创业产生的矛盾因为时长篇幅也被缩得不够真实,最后还居然给创成功了又复合了,看的时候一直觉得文不对题的剧情在最后居然圆了起来,以年为单位,因为男女主角就真的只在一起一年了,还真的挺贴题的,话说杨玏演的角色和三十而已完全反过来,但是演技真的被毛晓彤压着打,不过这剧情真的很戳我的心.......太感同身受了。PS:原本一年之痒的名字更适合本片。

    因为安志杰,给4星,他很努力了,太太需要一部自己的代表作了
