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".
有一句话说的挺好的，所有的学生都是韩老师和女主的孩子，他们一辈子的付出也算没有遗憾了！
巨大的登月历史背景与小人物家庭生活的 幻想与交织
电影情节没什么复杂的很容易理解，经历过中间的一些事件男主的成长还挺有看头的
当懊恼错过历史一刻的时候，是不是也把自己当下的美好放进了角落，回首往事，其实平凡才是真实的自己
作为一个人民教师，首先要做到的就是爱孩子，爱每一个孩子，不能差别对待
这部电影带给了今天的我们一种特别的熟悉感 也算是达成了某种东西方的“一体化叙事” 那就是在特殊时期下的集体叙事 导演将登月作为美国60年代的共同目标 以此为前提 用孩子的目光展开了对60年代生活的全面展现 其中的细节之细之密令人印象深刻 最好的一段处理肯定是最后登月的高潮部分 小男孩因为一天的游乐园玩耍而昏昏睡去 电视机里那个载入史册的历史瞬间就这样在睡梦中划过 一切仿佛一场梦境 我们曾在《登月第一人》里见识了“登月”作为人与至亲的告别 这本动画影片则是三个时空的衔接 小男孩的家庭 小男孩的梦境 电视里的阿姆斯壮告别月球 仿佛小男孩与童年和过去的告别
左手屠刀，右手罗盘
1960年代真的是好热闹，有核威胁的笼罩，刺杀总统，越战，民权运动，还有太空竞赛，年届六旬的导演不可避免的陷入童年回忆。60年过去，我们居然只能进入近地轨道，再也没人重返月球，现在这个时代太无聊了。
真的是跟这个破导演对不上电波，以为烂番茄高分媒体狂赞是有多好看，结果还是高估了文青心中对60年代的缅怀，实在太难看了
怀旧元素混入太空的堆叠，这类画风在爱死机里看过，太像现代人对于过去的幻想，而对于我自己来说，却有些昏昏欲睡。
儿童视角看登月第一人以小小平民角度重现半世纪前登月事件以及影响，怀旧十足尤其是音乐，风格似十多年前黑暗扫描，真人转动画技术更为成熟，光线阴影感更好，动画制作好处多细节更为丰富，减少现实感政治性，对比纪录片一类求实风格，动画更能展现讽刺性和儿童幻象力，最平凡小儿童对比大人们政治事件看法及政治意义，在小孩（导演儿时）眼中，只是勇敢壮举，而非复杂冷战共资相争军事太空竞争，故事有意将（现代）操控历史事实和政治影响力，从电影里面抽走，只看太空员及NASA，不需要各种各样的吹捧表扬粉饰，对比刚结束的两奥运会更为讽刺，所有体育成绩更是政治成绩，同是通过电视这一关键的传播，（奥运及成绩）现在倒是成洗脑滥用工具，对儿童而言似乎毫无意义，电视巧妙串联两故事线，登月更像表达纯粹的勇敢，与赞扬面对困难的冒险精神。
电影整体基调是温暖质朴的，很单纯的讲述一个进藏支教老师的故事，没用用大而空的套子讲主旋律。推进人物关系，用一些小细节和物件，口琴、土拔鼠、马、米饭，感情逐渐的累积，让人能轻松代入这个故事。影片令人印象最深是摄影，蓝天草原白云，色彩、构图都很清新明亮。最后，男主孩子们表演都很自然。
开篇青青草原，展现了绝美的藏区风光，也紧扣电影主题。故事讲述了一个90年代初藏区支教老师的一生。由于藏区学校的条件十分艰苦，前面几任支教老师都坚持不住离开了。影片主人公是个刚刚毕业的北京大学生，他来到学校后最初的打算也不过是坚持到3年期满，但在支教期间被藏民们的淳朴善良和区孩子们对知识的渴望所感动，最终为藏区教育奉献了自己的一生。不得不说影片讲述故事的能力较弱，全片平铺直述，故事的转折也有些生硬，但其中洋溢的满满温情依旧让人感动。尤其前半部分主人公初入藏区的生活刻画，让观众也不禁想去青春奉献一回。
很动人的片子，生命的意义确实就是在于选择啊，做了选择并坚定的走下去，韩松就是这样。
不得不说，中国的发展历程是特殊的，在一家孩子众多的年代，物质生活跟不上，在与片中孩童精神文明相符的年代，又独生了，很多与兄弟姐妹一起成长的参与感缺失是一大遗憾。篇中的生活万幸是用动画来演绎，若以真人视频剪辑合成，则远达不到如此吸人眼球的效果。在片中也亏到了美帝与俄国星际争霸的根源及社会导向，同比来说，中国默默成长确实是个好的路。
韩老师第一次要走那里真的好怕他不回来了也怕他回来，就是那种明知道这条路很苦却还是要走的感觉
虽然其中有一些刻意制造泪点的情节，不过招不在新管用就行，也挺适用在这里
童年少年那个时代的生活日常与少年梦想。
太棒了！这种讲述方式很聪明，恍惚间唤起了自己童年的许多碎片，那个明媚时代，那个没办法珍惜就该溜走的时代。
1960年代真的是好热闹，有核威胁的笼罩，刺杀总统，越战，民权运动，还有太空竞赛，年届六旬的导演不可避免的陷入童年回忆。60年过去，我们居然只能进入近地轨道，再也没人重返月球，现在这个时代太无聊了。
