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.

    丹叔版007落幕,无暇赴死——电影上映之时就是我狗带之日,薇姿曾经说过看着她老公的蓝眼睛就想给他生娃,尽管离上一部007已经过去五年,但再看到丹叔时还是能感受到他那双蓝眼睛的魅力,如果要用一个词形容丹叔的007那就是铁汉柔情,从第一部到最后一部都离不开一个情字,皇家赌场刻骨铭心,最后一部再度有了心爱的人(丹叔历届邦女郎都是法国人啊不折不扣法国控),最后为了爱人和女儿去死,也算是个不错的落幕选择,符合丹叔007的风格;导演拍摄人文风光方面真不错,但内景就差一些,新手特工蛮可爱,但这次反派塑造不太行,动机太过强行,反而是老反派瓦尔兹凭一场戏就让人毛骨悚然真的很厉害,相比于西装革履,丹叔永远还是脏兮兮的更迷人,最后,好想看007女儿的衍生剧啊;再最后,丹叔五部007最喜欢天幕杀机

  • 公冶半双 0小时前 :

    挺失望的。冗长、无趣、 拖沓,观影过程频频看表,偶有亮点也拯救不了整体的平庸乏味,难以想象这是丹尼尔的007谢幕之作。

  • 性妮娜 6小时前 :

    作为一个父亲,我给5星,丹尼尔007里面最感人的一部。

  • 展奇邃 1小时前 :

    好看!温情又感人,唯一不足是女主长得好奇怪啊!

  • 弥依晨 6小时前 :

    男主有些动作表情很像憨豆先生,是故意这么演的吗,故事一切都是预料之中,除了最后结局竟然是跟自行车店老板娘好了,还不错。

  • 云彩 5小时前 :

    当地居民抗争游行有用吗?不如帮老板娘抓奸来的快。美国群众的阶级斗争任重而道远啊。两个完全生活圈子不同的人做朋友,真是不知道除了抢酸黄瓜还能说什么。3

  • 巫阳云 3小时前 :

    剧情有点夸张但是很可爱,有内在的逻辑和现实基础,祈祷世界被爱覆盖而不是对立和算计。

  • 力盈盈 3小时前 :

    邦德和反派的多次亲身体验证实,爆炸物就算直接在脚边引爆也只会引起耳鸣,而枪支近距离多次射击也永远不会致命,都是只要拍拍身上的灰就可以站起来活蹦乱跳的

  • 卫曾浩 3小时前 :

    无暇赴死,有空煽情。铁金刚系列最差,毫无卖点。除了标志性的片头MTV之外,看不出有哪场戏是非保留不可的,包括动作戏,160分钟砍掉一半时长正合适。至于说“为情谢幕”,恐怕安在情圣杨过头上都嫌不尊重智商,何况邦德这种花花公子。复联还有个“平行宇宙”设定遮羞,像007这种银幕摇钱树拿“死”来赚眼泪,真比直接说资本家不爱钱还搞笑。唯一的亮点是古巴女郎安娜,比女主更像邦女郎。

  • 凡菲 9小时前 :

    还不错,不要太在意真实情况是什么样子的了,如果没点戏剧冲突,还演啥了。但是看见没,不是屌丝做了什么发生了变化,而是认识了权贵朋友,生活才发生变化———而已。

  • 局君丽 6小时前 :

    资本的力量➕绿皮书➕像我们这样一辈子默默无闻的人,看这样yy的爽片还是很过瘾的,突然感觉抖音讲解的很好,为什么国人觉得特斯拉好,因为大家心理上觉得它是从百万豪车一路降价下来的,哪个人没有豪车梦,这个女明星也一样,降低身份和泊车员恋爱,感觉高不可攀变成了现实,这样的心理谁不觉得她是高高在上魅力无限的人,五星⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐,很有意思的剧

  • 彦云 7小时前 :

    是因为我没有情结吗,就这毫无说服力的结局值得那么高评价?主线竟然是条言情线,睡了几觉每次醒来完全不影响跟上剧情,纯枪战除了吵也真的缺少观赏性

  • 彬骞 2小时前 :

    too much time to die, no time to love...

  • 宏心诺 0小时前 :

    就是那种俗得要死,但很好看的替身电影。剧情老套的不行,看了开头就能猜到结局,白日梦一样的展开,但是女主太美了,配角也都很可爱,轻松无虐小甜文既视感,打发时间很好。

  • 尉迟白山 9小时前 :

    很好看啊!男主的气质简直就是憨豆翻版,十分入戏,女主更是万人迷 床上独角戏和调侃小李子直接笑疯,该煽情的时候煽情,该搞笑的时候搞笑,拿捏☝

  • 国涵易 6小时前 :

    显示的淋漓精致

  • 府明杰 0小时前 :

    女主身材太劲爆,劲爆到让人觉得最后俩人就不应该在一起,然后还真没在一起。可能影片可贵就在此吧,不要幻想你前半生不努力,然后后半生狗屎运一样就可以娶到一个美艳女子。就算在电影里也不可能。

  • 御子悦 1小时前 :

    还好不是偶像剧结局,女子突然和男主看对眼,在一起幸福生活,朋友关系才是最正常,最合适的,让彼此能够相处愉悦的关系,不过确实剧情,演技都亮点不多

  • 希涵瑶 4小时前 :

    虽然很烂,但是幸好去看了,这才避开了迪士尼

  • 慕容从蓉 0小时前 :

    男主有些动作表情很像憨豆先生,是故意这么演的吗,故事一切都是预料之中,除了最后结局竟然是跟自行车店老板娘好了,还不错。
