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.
这种全篇马后炮的剧本是怎么进入剧本黑名单的？
这部真的很一言难尽…这部电影是在讲述黑人有尊严地站起来，一个父亲辛苦培养了两个顶级的网球选手，让大家摒弃种族歧视。但是全片都在聚焦父亲，而把大小威形容成天才型选手不贴切。以及父亲对于一切关于黑白问题都过于敏感，甚至有点过于强调黑白（虽然我知道在那段时间这样可能很正常）。最让我不能忍受的其实好像这部电影依旧还是笼罩在父权之下的，母亲同样付出了很多却被忽略，很多决定都是父亲一个人说的算，大小威不断努力也被忽略，全片只聚焦一个父亲，而忽略了太多其他因素。简称，这部电影爹味太重（居然没引进国内有点不可思议（小小反讽一下嘻嘻～
很不错，体育题材里属于上乘之作了。自古英雄出少年，说得真不错。Richard这性格现实中确实难搞，只能说在万千给自己孩子定计划的父亲里，他恰好实现了。幸好谷爱凌妈妈给了另一种视角。
下载看的，除了开始十分钟，后面拖着看完。小朋友的采访与主人公和小男生的相处双线交织，小朋友采访很有趣，但实在是和自己的人生无关，给两星鼓励；小男生的家庭更是无关，抱歉。
电影就是普通黑人虎爸父亲训女记，威尔史密斯的演技的确好，但是一切都让我觉得，好像离杰出还差一点点意思。另外这样偏执的父母很多，也是正好他女儿是万里挑一的有天赋而已，我觉得不大适合鼓吹这样的故事。
并不熟悉原型故事，也未对运动有足够的了解；所以不会有先入为主的比照，而是用看「家庭教育故事」的态度去进入。无论是找对状态的Will Smith，还是协同Aunjanue Ellis和小演员们彼此成就的自然火花，更或是以Jon Bernthal为首的几位好戏之人加入的辅助性点缀；电影受益于这些演员的发挥和对角色的洞察，完成了足够符合想象、平稳水准的冲奖传记“设定”。不计较篇幅的几个重要节点的呈现，在精良技术的打包下，呈现得到了足够的还原；但问题是近来各种越发放飞的片长让电影略显臃肿，并且情节始终只是重复的反抗与坚持。大胆点的作者与剧本，或许还能将观察延伸到运动本身，加注生态图景的勾勒；这里没有，也就只能靠Beyoncé压阵，用歌声唱出能量与致敬了。
华金对着麦克风的独白 与轰鸣配乐和车流画面的融合 无数次跳戏到her 只不过这次似乎没那么孤独了
大小威真是传奇，这部电影主要着墨在老威，虎爹战歌，一定程度上弱化了姐妹俩自身的努力和传奇性，特别是小威基本上没有描绘，蛮可惜。老威不好评价，到底发挥了多少作用很难量化，倒是很好奇他那个七十多页的plan，到底写了啥。。。
太规矩了，黑人/女性议题，精力都花在写台词，还要（假装不经意，其实特别刻意地）反复强调种族背景和底层成功学，颁奖季特供
采访的孩子个个金句迭出 也是穿插于影片中的亮点
子女因為父親規劃的人生而閃閃發光，然後子女對父親充滿感恩，滿是父權的傲慢。本以為，今時今日，這樣的父權故事中多少會有一些抗爭與反思，然而，女兒們大多數的時候是順從的，從她們口中聽到了太多的“Yes, daddy”，即便她們抗爭了，也需要父親的點頭同意才可以繼續前行，甚至她們在賽場上的反敗為勝也要歸功於父親的一個眼神給予的信心，夠了。相較於飾演父親的Will Smith，飾演母親的Aunjanue Ellis其實更出色，一個主角光環之外、趨於工具化的角色，靠著演技出彩。
标题是去纽约配乐歌词的激动，也是小男主录音中面对生活需要的韧性和坚持。有些文德斯的感觉，最后一句台词倒是说明白这部电影了，就是帮你记起孩童时期你看待世界的视角，回忆起那些你想被理解的渴求。这部电影拍给所有人过去孩时的自己。
真人真事奇人奇事，男主不喜欢别人称俩女儿的成功是奇迹，不可思议。因为在他看来是理所当然，必然的。不具备可复制性。父亲对女儿深情流露那一段很感人，威尔史密斯演了一个偏执狂父亲，让人又爱又恨的那种，了不起
影院上映中，感兴趣的小伙伴抓紧哦。
威尔史密斯演得很传神，但影片我并不喜欢。理查德到底是专横霸道自负的人，还是用坚持和信念赢得人生？角色不讨喜，一会嘲笑黑人一会讽刺白人，黑人导演模糊又混沌的态度。放大那场比赛的上厕所段落，也是没必要。很多真实人物估计都不愿承认片中的自己。大小威的演员应该互换一下。既不励志又没有个人魅力，只是他们真实的人生足够传奇和成功而已。
主角是爸爸，所以相对弱化了大小威廉姆斯的部分，却让人不觉得有任何问题，情节完整、内核正确、演员演技更不用多说，还有很多感动：种族的或追求梦想的。恭喜理查德，78页的计划最终全部实现。想看网球、想看教育、想看成长、想看家庭、想看热血、想看励志桥段、想看Will的观众，都能在本片找到那部分精彩。
没看过一场网球比赛的我可以说是听着大小威的名号长大的（说明电视可没少看），14岁拿到1200百万美元的代言，老美的职业体育发展确实厉害。电影还行吧，史皇身材保持挺好。真不觉得完美编排别人的人生有什么好值得大书特书的。
是好看的，特别古典的传统好莱坞励志剧情片，《幸福来敲门》的金钱至上爱拼就会赢价值观，讲《摔跤吧爸爸》的狼性内卷教育，对于咱们老中做题家来说实在太无聊了，还不如感慨一下职业化的魅力拍得淋漓尽致。威尔史密斯表演偏执、精明、疲惫，多智近妖，活脱脱一个美国刘德华。
质朴干净 轻松温馨的黑白小品
大小威的强大自信坚毅，扁平到一个父亲的计划，理解是为了选个冷门的角度，但因此让人喜欢不起来，而且本身也没有太大的惊喜。
