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.

    又一部导演的私人电影,关于成长的阵痛与蜕变,青春期的性萌动和无处发泄的荷尔蒙、家庭的美好记忆和对理想与现实的迷茫,当然还有足球。我不怀疑导演的真诚,那偶尔闪现的神性也将人的心绪引向更高的地方,但从头到尾粗野的男性凝视让我的观影过程极其不适,意大利南部的美丽风光偶尔总会伴随着这样令人不快的时刻,这是属于导演的纪念,这一定不是属于我的电影。

    最后半小时才真正开始聚焦于男主,显得极不平衡,其中的城市场景也无细节仅作为背景存在,对于异乡观众来说无法共情

  • 卫国清 7小时前 :

    还是挺有笑点的(意料之外),最近心情不好,看完有开心一些。只是……为什么主角都得是动物?大概是噱头?我想不通哦,这个故事主角换成人类也不影响吧。哦!好像会有影响——因为不会开心得摇尾巴?

  • 应恺歌 8小时前 :

    说实在的看完下来我也依然觉得很恐怖好吗,好莱坞现在不讲意识形态道德伦理,偏见歧视等等,就已经做不出电影来了吗?

    虽然索伦蒂诺说他拍这部电影是受到了阿方索拍《罗马》的启发和鼓励,但我觉得这部可比《罗马》要诚挚且精彩得多了。看得出来,索伦蒂诺拍这部电影是献给父母的(尤其是母亲),是献给那些形形色色的亲戚、邻居和狐朋狗友的,是献给那不勒斯这座城市的(可能还要算上一点点罗马)。更是献给青春、足球(尤其是马拉多纳)和电影的。归根结底,它是献给索伦蒂诺自己的。

    虽然好莱坞动画也越来越模式化了,但还算有趣~狼哥莫名让我想到狐尼克哈哈哈!

  • 彩香 1小时前 :

    走到五月才恍然意识到旧历开年来这还是第一次进百丽宫。深刻共情1930s的人们为什么那么痴迷好莱坞,现实已经如此凛冽,在银幕上就放肆笑吧。美式幽默开心到令人落泪,狐狸白切黑,灰狼黑切白,反派“救猫咪”理论。狼的魅力唤醒我BEASTARS时期痴迷雷格西的记忆。5.1(记得去年今日在成都不散看了《秘密访客》)

    若是2d的话就好了,朋友说夜行衣黛安狐出场的时候画风变了,但是3d亮度不够根本看不出来。这部的娱乐性很高,很适合和朋友一起约去影院乐呵乐呵,虽然剧情比较套路,但快节奏+好制作+不落俗套的笑点确实让我看得挺开心的。结尾的反转暖心且亮眼。
