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.

    影帝演得很卖力啊,再一次看到我们铃木保奈美很开心(戏份还挺多的)传记片轻松有趣,原来北野武洒脱痞子的性格不是一蹴而就的啊!

  • 冰家 6小时前 :

    师徒这种关系很微妙,是很难用好或者坏来总结的。但通常日后回顾的时候结论总会偏向一个极端,其实很考验人性。

  • 南门勇捷 1小时前 :

    後半部比較抓人。所以北野武真正的啟蒙老師是⋯⋯Lenny Bruce?

  • 律元武 2小时前 :

    -0.5 太平稳了 整个风格甚至刻意了...

  • 宗灿灿 3小时前 :

    实在没想到电影中面瘫的冷面大叔北野武居然是喜剧和漫才出身?!!而且这段传记确实拍的很好,情感表达流畅、细腻而真挚,特别是影片结束前那个时空交错的长镜头和师徒跨越时空的互动,简直是神来之笔!

  • 婧雪 4小时前 :

    看过《火花》之后再看这部,尽管没看过原著,但依然对日本短剧/漫才的师徒之情感触颇深。原本以为一般,但可能日本喜剧人题材本身就很戳我,所以还是被感动到了,好温馨。师傅的那句话为什么感觉我看的跟大家的翻译不太一样:“在我这里演戏,可不要被人笑,而是要逗人笑。”桑田佳佑的片尾曲也很好听!片尾动画也很棒。就是特效妆真的有些出戏了。等着明天网飞上《短剧开始啦》,延续这种情绪。

    我还挺喜欢的。感情很真。有些地方的处理是有点儿水。但够了。力使七分。

    極富人情味的敘事,在懷古的鏡頭光線中主要映照的是愛徒與敬師,是表演家庭中的飄搖和扶持

  • 彩橘 6小时前 :

    7.最后那个北野武上长镜头,着实令人印象深刻

  • 日初 0小时前 :

    6/10 很标准很日式,柳乐优弥确实有捕捉到北子爷的精髓,但仅限于表演的模仿。而且真的太煽情了,剥离开来之后甚至显得空洞。属于北野武的故事没多少北味,不是很满意

  • 善醉香 8小时前 :

    我知道有些桥段是故意煽情,故意套路我,想骗我的眼泪……哼,我都知道啊……可是我特么还是中招了。混蛋!
