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".
不过两个人的游乐场还挺浪漫
丹泽尔华盛顿与弗朗西斯麦克多蒙德演技大秀。文绉绉的台词，不做太大改编的故事，毫不遮掩的舞台剧模式，简洁有力的黑白舞台设计，都很好，但都让本片呈现出“有价值但多少有点无趣”的感受。
诙谐又舒适的一部片，还是至亲和姐妹可靠，戳好有少年感，脸也有故事感和电影感，还很少年感，片尾曲是戳的创作曲，真的好好听很舒服的调调，so blue
乔尔想要模仿伯格曼或黑泽明的风格，可无奈他是科恩兄弟的成员，《麦克白的悲剧》的风格是分裂的，一方面是基里科，德国表现主义影响之下的美术设定，另一方面乔尔则重复着同一种构图：浅焦下人物近景直面观众，强迫其注意到人物说话时的肌肉运动，一种典型的黑色幽默处理方式，人物的美式英语则仿佛置身于一场排练或Zoom上的剧本朗读会议，我们当然可以设想一种科恩式的麦克白，参考《逃狱三王》或《巴斯特民谣》，抛弃掉严肃性，在形而上学和反类型上越走越远，用丑角视角或者将场景移置某种荒诞派色彩的人物窘境之中，不过很可惜的是《悲剧》并没有，属于好莱坞那种作为呆板无趣，却稳赚不赔的，缝合怪式的改编；或许将同样的题材交给多兰，也会得到一部类似的影片。
请问是在卡戴珊的极简豪宅拍的吗？苏格兰曾有一刻是瓦坎达！
2190。两年后还在说热恋期间的情话，感觉太假了。后面20分钟全是拍摄花絮，有什么意义？拖时间骗钱？
除了色调、troye的脸和歌以外都真的很不行啊，就这还能7.2？我拜托了……把一些青春片拍烂了的话题全部放进去一锅炖，故事节奏迷惑，跟印度哥毫无cp感。
It sucks but it will be ok.
其次能不能给LeonPob一个好结局，
还不错。青春片就是要谈恋爱，戳演起这个角色比甜茶顺手的多（怀疑本人就是在tla）以及可以想象到霉霉看到电影气到半夜三点爬起来写歌骂戳的场面了（不
啊啊啊啊啊啊！！！太他喵的绝了，尤其是清晨两个人背后抱互诉衷肠那边，完美体现了人物的性格，那一刻他们就是Leo跟Fiat！
构图摄影不错
多一星给戳希文的颜值
Why, are we rly gon rave abt somethin‘ Orson had already done so well 70 yrs ago? Acting's AWFUL😑WORST MACBETH EVER MADE
and第一次无字幕看的全英电影
莎士比亚这部经典戏剧已搬上大银幕很多次了，这部最新版肯定不是最好的，却是最有创意的一部改编。极致的光影美学提炼出极简的舞台感，也为展示人物的心理和欲望提供了广阔空间。对白依循着古典的晦涩感，却在奥斯卡影帝和影后两人的精彩演绎中迸发出奇异的吸引力。最大胆是让众多黑人演员出演，立刻打破了莎士比亚原著的白人意味，流动着紧贴当下的种族平权意识。
D— / 和「曼克」一块儿打包去世，没有说这两部很像的意思...
上手经典进行大胆的诠释与更新，各版期望传递的讯息、选角思路以及具体背景各不相同；但灵魂依然是对权欲的无边渴望与心魔诱惑之下的失控。最出彩的是用极简的方式想象另个时空之下的皇室，空荡的走廊、由高墙和钢筋立柱树立的王位“监狱”还有仿佛没有尽头的门框…这里如此冰冷，仿佛可以吞噬所有。透过这些装置的感受，不断地与熟稔许多的故事交融；泽帝让人又爱又恨，这里是前半部分。

太太太太好看了！剧本删减得高潮连连 但是极简的风格让人实在是想不通为啥费尽心机想从一个漏水的混凝土建筑搬到另一个混凝土建筑（不过也正好反映了对权力的盲目追求的无意义吧……）在铺满黑白落叶的走廊揍小西华德的画面不要太帅！
