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.

    槽点太多,不知道从何说起,总而言之,这个ip十分之不喜欢。

  • 枝泰鸿 2小时前 :

    梁朝伟饰角仿似《真·三国无双》中的古天乐+塔利班二十五世远祖“山中老人”附体。苦大仇深痴心情深令人唏嘘。

    所有人的国语台词多多少少都让人出戏

    他给我的感觉就是很美国,我不知道别人在看动画作品的时候会有什么感觉,我个人是靠感觉分中美日,美国动画给我的感觉就是笑点错位或者没有笑点,我知道这可能是文化差异,但是正是这种奇怪的笑点总让我觉得神经质,也很有特点了

  • 梦霞 1小时前 :

    角色长相,连梁朝伟在这部里都没有那么帅了,刘思慕打戏帅,好了没了。严重水土不服的中国超英,虽然我看的超英电影也不多,但是这一部除了公交车上的那场打戏还挺带劲以外其他都无感,故事讲得七零八碎上气不接下气。特效都那么塑料感,这是怎么了。

    吵吵闹闹,五颜六色。(ꐦÒ‸Ó)不是我的菜

  • 诗雯 5小时前 :

    打家庭亲情牌但不幼稚 动作设计和配乐过硬 好久没在大银幕上看到这么不用花拳绣腿但能拳拳到肉的打戏了吧 舒爽 剧本运用的中国元素也是久违美国银幕上没有违和感让人舒适的那种 中国文化的银龙与黑恶势力代表的西方龙(变种龙 对打 再一次刷新了漫威之前群战灭霸的爽点/演员都好专业 梁朝伟一到美国英雄片 被当成道格拉斯用了 容颜老了 但气场秒杀一众小年轻 到位

  • 淳于青易 1小时前 :

    还蛮有趣的,有点圈粉去扒剧了,汉堡比基尼不错。

  • 梓桂 7小时前 :

    梁朝伟把十个环传给男主的时候,仿佛在说:亲,记得给爹一个十环好评噢。

  • 舒志勇 1小时前 :

    配乐也不错,有卧虎藏龙的味道了。

  • 洁馨 8小时前 :

    鲍勃一家日常的荒诞、丧、搞笑,为了做成电影还加了凶杀案,配上皆大欢喜的结尾,感觉比剧集版更柔软了一些。电视剧版的歌一集一个样,搭配剧情听比较精彩,放到电影里这么密集,有点审美疲劳。

  • 狂迎丝 7小时前 :

    全片IMAX全画幅梁朝伟!第一次看漫威的反派比主角气场强这么多的电影,梁朝伟把整部电影拔高太多,文戏对比尤其明显。武打及其剪辑(特别是脚手架一段)都很不错。剩下的就是功夫卧虎藏龙甚至怪兽片的杂糅。但追求真实的话应该大家都讲广东话,操着广普和ABC国语太奇怪。

  • 褚子珍 9小时前 :

    ( 4 / 10 )如果美国亚裔连这片子都能接受,有什么理由不能接受《战狼2》?从人物外形来看,吴京比不上梁朝伟,怎么说也比刘思慕好吧?主要配角的形象也不比《尚气》差吧?女主更不用说了。从动作和武打场面来看,《战狼2》火爆打斗、坦克大战,完爆《尚气》的CG乱闪的花架子吧?从种族多样性来看,《战狼2》也是完爆《尚气》吧?

  • 楷树 8小时前 :

    辱华问题没有了,但绝不相信梁朝伟和陈法拉的基因出这样一个尚气,就没有亚裔演员可以选了吗?后半小时秒变小怪兽片( ・᷄ὢ・᷅ )

  • 鲜于建德 3小时前 :

    文化挪用的部分的确很讨厌,但除此之外算是漫威电影里品质比较靠前的了。梁朝伟的角色尤其出彩,漫威宇宙最有血有肉的反派。

  • 祁益 9小时前 :

    全程像是过家家 像经费不足生下的产物,唯一觉得好的地方 大概就是加州旅馆了。

  • 苌英范 3小时前 :

    好久沒看過這麼酣暢淋漓的動作戲了,開頭的bus打戲太精彩了。整個故事雖然略顯老套,但是一部成功商業片的節奏高潮矛盾懸念都有,且整部影片1/3的中文足顯marvel的誠意,並沒有感到任何侵rh。想比隔壁花木蘭的不知所云,這部對東方文化的闡述和演繹更加用心,最後大家一起放河燈祭典逝者時讓我忍不住落淚,中華文化的源長悠遠,對祖先和萬物有靈的敬畏,和對家庭的呵護執念,都濃縮在那短短的幾分鐘內,真好。

  • 皮惜玉 6小时前 :

    太无情了,就差没贴龙标了,就这都没给上映。算是比较不让人拧巴的西方思维讲述东方故事的电影了。东方瓦坎达,卧虎藏龙的竹林,成家班的喜剧式动作,山海经的神兽,算是合格的爆米花。

  • 淦芷珊 7小时前 :

    没觉得辱华,但是作为电影真的是不太好看,确实像电影里的台词说的马戏团一样啥都有,热热闹闹剧情衔接很硬不流畅。三星给爸妈cp和大罗里还原度超高又逼真的山海经神兽。

  • 麴烨烨 8小时前 :

    主创感觉还是有懂中国文化的~很神奇的观影感受,前半挺有趣的,后半倒是变成正常的漫威电影了~不过千言万语就一句话,梁朝伟好帅~
