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.
即便预料到了《邓布利多之谜》要糟糕，还是第一时间去看了，并且观感很纠结。电影还是能找到一些“哈利波特”的感觉的，节奏也比第二部要清晰明快许多，至少故事很容易看懂。可缺点是电影根本没啥故事，平铺直叙的剧情没有任何阴谋诡计，甚至整个选举的线都很幼稚。想看看裘花和拔叔的爱情吧，可拔叔太直了什么都没看出来，总体就是很普通的一部片子。
丑陋版马达加斯加；
政治隐喻太多了吧，就不能专注于魔法世界吗，一会又暗示某元首，一会又整颜色革命的，还暗示民众被短视频洗脑，就会不会管太多。影片前半段实在无聊，后半段稍微有点斗争和打戏，聊胜于无。小雀斑年岁渐长，现在看起来有点像傻瓜大叔；邓布利多总感觉是个老银币，成天躲背后使唤人，最后还被麒麟评为伦敦好人；中分白脸小哥也不知道为啥就觉醒了突然要做个好人。fine，让我们期待下一部。
非常好看。配音地道的澳音，歌剧院外的海里有个鲨鱼是新西兰口音，名字叫姐心大，哈哈。
导演连简单的调度都搞不好，干脆就多摆几个摄影机，想通过后期剪辑狂切镜位来掩盖这一点。滥用剪辑在前半部分尤为突出，看得令人心烦。
又是一部南边讲北边的电影。朝鲜数学家解出几百年来都解不开的数学题后，批评朝鲜 “我学数学发现这边用于制造武器” ，叛逃到韩国后成为高中校园保安，批评韩国 “学数学在另一边被用作进好大学和获高薪工作的工具” 。两边都不好，两边都禁锢。又是一部同时批评两边的韩国电影。
又又扑了。。。
土澳版神奇动物🐍🕷🦂🦎🐊🦈 虽然自己也一直对危险且冷血的动物有很大偏见，看完这部，突然发现人类才是危险系数最高的动物，它们一出生就远离栖息地，城市动物园里无亲无故，还要遭受非议，说实话 他们不欠人类的，人与自然的话题也一直到今天，尊重 保护 不作秀，伸出援手，对他们的保护亦是保护人类环境。整部影片还是很喜欢动物aussie accent，最喜欢jacki阿姨和鲨鱼，可可爱爱的jacki就像是邻家阿姨，对胖胖萌萌的卡通形象没有抵抗力，maddie也又美又飒（叫maddie的都很酷姐？）有趣的是看小黄人我居然是被动的笑，这部竟如此行云流水（？）赞就一个字👍
比第一部好看。只是，把考拉设计得这么丑，着实有点辜负澳大利亚国宝的名声。
以后终于不用再看到埃兹拉米勒了，他的职业生涯被自己作死了，真好。
押一个崔岷植今年百想影帝。画面很漂亮，一些情节和音乐配在一起非常治愈，比如用钢琴演奏π的那一段。但是看到后面感觉有点扯。
不是什么爽的剧情，中规中矩，那个黎曼猜想真的是朝鲜人证明出来的？不可能吧
都好可爱好萌啊，尤其是蝎子和蛇，从来没有看过那么萌的蝎子和蛇
I’m ugly you’re ugly we should all be this ugly ugly is the new beautiful
故事没有特别感人的点，不如数学多一点，脱北者设定+儿子死亡，觉得把数学成分冲淡
U.S.S我丑你丑大家都丑，丑是美的新潮流；
演技很好被感动到 但是又是一部黑北边的电影
街上查兹和小查兹与小动物邂逅那里，我就开始嫌弃这部动画片了，一切发生的如此巧合和尴尬，突然就觉得它只适合小朋友们看。不过电影的角色还是蛮讨喜的，也有笑点，无聊看看还行。
