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.
我不想做我不想做的事情，最接近的人也会在性别、家庭的固有不同中留下遗憾，至少珍惜了这次相遇，餐厅戏哭惨惨。押井守赛高，坂田裕二赛高！
能找个和你一起聊押井守、一起玩儿塞尔达传说、一起看《牯岭街少年杀人事件》、一起探讨文学作品的对象真好，可也无法阻止“爱情保质期”，无论曾经两人有多少共同话题，到头来还是要面临价值观不合而分手，唯一能做的就是以微笑开始的恋爱，就以微笑结束吧。
毫无悬念的中二trash 整个世界都围着你转 你是宇宙的中心
这个ip的结束堪称一个时代的终结 eva内里的赛博朋克与希腊家庭悲剧的羁绊几乎把人类自我成就与毁灭的终极议题 孤独无助与幸福陪伴之间薄薄的窗户纸 那些自内心深处的缺口与记忆深处的秘密伴随我们的每一个决定 最终也会与起源与陨落有关 关于结局的cp或许真的没有那么重要了 毕竟那些陪伴最长久的总会被我们失去而迎接新的开始
我在Q里，通过白丽和黑丽的区分捕捉到了痞子继续围绕这一点塑造人物的可能性。我失望了。
怀疑真的有情侣看完可以安然无恙活着走出这部电影吗 始终觉得爱的本质是分享欲而产生的灵魂共鸣 爱情从完全失去分享欲的那刻就自然灭亡了 但很多人将关系不咸不淡地维持着 最后沦落为大多数婚姻的模样
17 JUN 2021 (4-) 戲名+架純妹應該趕走唔少art house寶寶，兩粒鐘故仔橫跨2015-2020，戀人由偶遇、熱戀、共居、冷漠、裂痕、分手、重遇，貌似一般過唔一般的愛情片套路，但人家贏就贏左zoom到埋去大學(理想)到社會(現實)呢個gap度，再contextualize落去個文青脈絡深而化之。最好睇唔係佢地點樣miss左牯嶺街同男的睇郭利斯馬基訓左，而係果D小處細節流出黎，滾雪球咁越滾越大的失望︰慳錢只能飲7-11咖啡、對曾經常去的麵包店關門無感、見到你愛人去書店放棄左文學而走去睇self-help book。以大眾愛情片的劇本計，真係做到軟綿綿淚漣漣，值得參詳的地方無數。P.S. 有瀧內公美。望住架純妹，一念︰點解香港D女文青唔係金絲白面就係營養不良？
因为相同，花相聚成为花束，花会枯萎，花束终将溃散，其实片名中的“花束”已给出两人爱情的全过程。
哪个（曾经的）文艺逼不喜欢这种报菜名电影呢？太多relatable的话题和瞬间，最后餐厅的镜像后劲太强
和“世另我”的恋爱也不是一帆风顺啊，最后一别两宽还是做朋友舒服长久
《爱在豆瓣友邻间》。其实现实中也有不少文青之间相似的故事，“百分百合拍”的感觉心动的时候都会有，但（至少这个剧本）写出来味如嚼蜡。
As Adam Smith put it, to identify with the impartial spectator is to become conscious of how ordinary you are
7.9 「 空想」特摄。比预期好看，只为了补全而来。不打针不吃药坐这就是跟你唠，用谈话方式治疗，也叫话疗。结尾太肉麻了，甚至有点怀念TV25、26话。
其实故事主线还是挺俗的，主要胜在细节丰富、台词优秀、表演动人。镜头、剪辑都是干净流畅。不过女主还是有点没有恋爱的状态，在中间甜蜜期的时候，那个感觉好像也不是那种甜蜜期。其他时候都很完美，那种有心事的状态下的表情、眼神好棒。俩人简直就是有些单纯、内向的文艺青年的代表人物，喜欢的那些东西，各种小趣味小癖好特别好玩。同类的人可能会特别有同感有共鸣。
2015年第一次看《我的星球》痛哭流涕，电影里2017年有村架纯去看的那一场再演我在北京错过了，但《牯岭街少年》在日本重映的时候是跟当时喜欢的人去看的。宝石之国，蘑菇帝国，タムくん的插画，文化系男女流水的喜好确实是被半圆摸得透透的。
是日剧氛围的LALALAND，然而，并不是同步率高就能长久在一起的口阿
啥cp都敢点，心理变态加自闭症儿童，这组合跟阴婚有啥区别。
每个人总觉得自己是单一的、特殊的。但影片1小时50分开始出现“轮回式”情景再现，告诉我们，社会总概貌下的单体，都只是群体的分子而已
无论是粉丝和路人都会十分满足的一部终章。真嗣送别故人、指出父亲的软弱、与母亲重逢，最终伴随着父母的彻底死亡开启了新的、不再有EVA的人生篇章，自己也终于长大成人。在阅读日本经济相关的著作时，结合文学与影史，一个国家机器持续强劲的运转对人们的精神世界是如此重要，在安倍经济学下日本才逐渐修复了总需求的崩塌，因此才能在二十多年后看到庵野秀明教导观众回到生活中去、和世界和解。EVA将不仅作为一部极致的视听作品被记住，同时也将是经济史上需要被记住的一个墓碑。
这个ip的结束堪称一个时代的终结 eva内里的赛博朋克与希腊家庭悲剧的羁绊几乎把人类自我成就与毁灭的终极议题 孤独无助与幸福陪伴之间薄薄的窗户纸 那些自内心深处的缺口与记忆深处的秘密伴随我们的每一个决定 最终也会与起源与陨落有关 关于结局的cp或许真的没有那么重要了 毕竟那些陪伴最长久的总会被我们失去而迎接新的开始
