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".
名字绝了，“稍微想起一些”，那些共同的习惯会遗忘一些也会延续一些，那些浪漫热烈和无奈执拗也会在某些特定的时刻或特殊的场景想起一些，也只是稍微想起一些
片子最迷人的地方
倒叙BE美学，最后十分钟回放了2次，然后就奇妙的感到被治愈了。終わりは始まりの終わり《回到恋爱终结时》，港版译得真好。
虽不至于《花束》那么矫情…也偶尔出现一些看似演的不错的地方（演的最好的地方就是那个奶油蹭脸），但真就像小学生的流水账，还有那个坐树下的老爷爷到底干嘛用的，讨厌说教感！我是被海报骗进来的…
恋人在一起和分开的点真的被这部电影get到了。
不管是明天，大后天，还是每一年，都希望你好好的
因为最近有点甜，所以看起来觉得甜，看着女主笑就觉得开心，但是男主无感，总觉得他没有投入
很喜欢这种普通成年人的爱情故事。没有杂七杂八奇奇怪怪的背景加成，都是在社会里以自己的方式摸爬滚打，挣扎着奋斗着燃烧自己的人。以微不足道的理由走到一起，小心维系着炙热又脆弱的情感，又以微不足道的理由分开。会在平淡生活的某些片刻突然回想起点什么，不过也只是一瞬间。然后在同一片天空下的不同角落迎来各自的清晨。
7.0 完美阐述了《花束般的恋爱》里的那句“开始是结束的开始”。回忆里的人不会犯错，回忆里的人才会觉得错过
电影默默无声的流淌，但最终一点点堆叠成为隐痛，在每一个生日蛋糕，在每一个日落，每一个无意的对话，每一个梦醒时分，让你无声难过，隐隐作痛。
看到水族馆的时候白眼一翻，纯爱电影水族馆设定都要ptsd了太老套了吧，谁知道一秒打脸，是看过所有的水族馆play（不是）中最浪漫的。但就是以为成田凌是男主，突然醒悟啊这原来是宫本，但还好还好，不管是男主还是女主，都没有之前看过的他们最被记住电影名字的主角影子，尤其男主宅家不出，重复每天浇花吃饭做操凌乱又有序的慵懒且缓慢治愈的日常中，看到自己
马了一个贾木许的地球之夜
开头显得沉闷又沉重，直到后来才发现是倒叙，从分开到遇见，于是内容上的BE变成了形式上的HE……有一种“爱过”的释然。
这个倒叙比《我们都无法成为大人》拍法自然多了，也很有感染力。而电影名像是对观众的一场提问。坐在路边的那个男人就是电影剪辑也是这场爱情的倒叙，从相识（爱）到热恋（1/2离开）再到陌生人（孤独等待）......
前陣子剛在am把這個樂隊的《世界觀》加進資料庫，今天看完電影順著網易雲找這個樂隊的時候，排在top1的歌曲是那個人推薦給我的漫畫改編的電影，至今他分享給我的電子版漫畫還躺在百度雲未曾被下載過。
听说后劲很足才看的，什么看着都是“淡淡的”，才是生活吧
不管是明天，大后天，还是每一年，都希望你好好的
看了《地球之夜》后一直想再去看一遍，终于趁有池松壮亮和导演最后一次舞台挨拶的机会，赶紧买了票。
怎么就能在生日当天选中一部生日元素如此丰富的电影呢…情节甚至人物设定都是老套的，但很喜欢一些小设计。比如在出租车里，坦白心意的池松被伊藤的笑打断然后突然拒绝说下去。这两位的表演状态都太棒了，很松弛很自然。
都是那些说不清道不明的东西吧
