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".
十年离乱后，长大一相逢，
被采下的花束生存几率为零，可每个人都相信自己的那束是个例外。最难过的是地铁上偶遇那幕，只有声礼貌的招呼，没有任何靠近对方的意愿，仿佛对方是沉重而避之不及的社交负担。PS：彩蛋未免太多，在ktv那里听到蘑菇帝国激动得差点跳起来
开头看到的结尾的故事，只是没想到会构建这么童话般的结局。如同豆瓣友邻之间的恋爱，把情人所有的细节都赋予这对最幸运的爱侣，然后再将他们拉到生活中来。
这部大结局不仅仅是提醒着真嗣故事的结束，也无时不在提醒着观众“现实”的侵入。惊喜的是除了给每个人物很好的收尾，这部中有许多有趣的点值得思考：特摄的形式：结尾动画向现实的过渡……而最有趣的是为丽结局时两人后面的墙上居然呈现了TV版的画面，如果说这还勉强可以用轮回来解释，那片名字幕的出现绝对是一种打破第四堵墙的做法。庵野秀明在片尾部分不断让观众从剧情中抽离，从虚幻中抽离，提醒我们“现实”的存在。EVA系列的意义无疑被加强——电影终将散场，故事中的人物终会结局，我们自己的现实远比他们重要的多。唯一想诟病的是，玛丽这个人物的塑造太差了，远弱于其他人。
三星半。从电影语言来说是很平庸的，但是很生活化，还是有些点很让人感同身受。两位主演很稳。
脱裤子放屁！这部片告诉我们，不要活在自己对eva的幻想里面，真实的eva就是一坨屎！接受了这一点，大家也都长大了！
我依然能清晰地记起初中时把盗版vcd推进播放机的那个中午 而今天的这个夜晚就仿佛是在与那个我告别 さようなら全てのエヴァンゲリオン
文青的适配恋爱在遭到社会毒打后悲剧落幕，蛮无奈的拍得也是挺损的，女主拿了想看的书开开心心去找男友，结果对方在看《人生的胜算》，上了班电影也不看了，漫画也不看了，只能玩玩消消乐，这种情节真是……开头金句频繁劝退，整体还算正常，后面开始吵架冷淡的部分蛮好，比如男主不提前去出差陪女主看舞台剧，几句对白精准抓住了让人火大的点。可以接受一个人一开始就奔着成功，无法接受靠爱好过活的人向社会妥协，所以分得好分得妙
“啊啊…这个丽话为什么这么多？” “啊啊…为什么真嗣这次觉醒得这么快？” “啊啊…司令把脑子捡起来放回破洞的脑壳里了！！” “啊啊…大白丽已经很鬼畜了，为什么还会有3D大白丽？” “啊啊…其实丽和熏站在一起还蛮配的嘛…” 感想太多了，比起几艘舰船打架，还是更喜欢类人型的巨大生命体打架。最后真嗣和丽说你也可以过没有EVA的人生其实是監督在和自己说吧，被EVA折磨的这些年，没有它照样可以过得幸福。 恭喜完结，恭喜长大。
以令人震撼的形式展示了一个晚期精神病患的自我分析及自愈过程。值得钦佩。
弄了点衣服少的镜头当福利，有这个必要么，同人作品都比你良心。
简单的故事，诚挚的感情，如《挪威的森林》的淡淡忧伤，不出意外，这会是我今年的院线观影最佳。
看得我泪流满面。。这其实是EVA补完计划吧。。从此EVA的世界再无遗憾，从此人世间再无EVA。。我们的中二少年鼻祖碇真嗣终于成长了，长大了，所以我们心中的中二少年也可以长大了。。。然后那个严厉可怖的父亲其实也是一个中二少年，然后他也长大了。然后庵野秀明也长大了，不再扭捏刻薄。二十多年前第一次看EVA的我，是一个和剧中主角一样的14岁少年，如今完结的这一刻我37岁。EVA其实就是动漫届的寅次郎的故事，或者安拓万系列。它是必须用现实世界的时间长度来衡量感知的一套作品。观众如果没有随着作品发布的时间而成长，就不能真正体会故事时间线上那些细微的情感和态度变化。EVA是关于绝对领域的，所以它也是关于每一个观众如何凝视自己的内心。当然在最后，痞子主要还是想告诉我们，既然大家都终于长大了，可以安心滴去当上班族996了！
おやすみ、おはよう、ありがとう、さよなら。
完全戳中 很多处都在想 这不就是我本人的颅内活动和我本人的恋爱经历（当然更急促）还好最终他们又在分手和祝福 最后这件事上 找回了初见的默契 偶遇后来自背面的招手 偶尔的缅怀 都在讲着着 分手的爱情故事 也可以继续温暖余后没有对方的人生
三无女神掰直国民基佬
花会凋零，爱也会消失，两个人终会因为生活而渐行渐远，但至少曾经绽放过美好
I love you more than you'll ever know
17 JUN 2021 (4-) 戲名+架純妹應該趕走唔少art house寶寶，兩粒鐘故仔橫跨2015-2020，戀人由偶遇、熱戀、共居、冷漠、裂痕、分手、重遇，貌似一般過唔一般的愛情片套路，但人家贏就贏左zoom到埋去大學(理想)到社會(現實)呢個gap度，再contextualize落去個文青脈絡深而化之。最好睇唔係佢地點樣miss左牯嶺街同男的睇郭利斯馬基訓左，而係果D小處細節流出黎，滾雪球咁越滾越大的失望︰慳錢只能飲7-11咖啡、對曾經常去的麵包店關門無感、見到你愛人去書店放棄左文學而走去睇self-help book。以大眾愛情片的劇本計，真係做到軟綿綿淚漣漣，值得參詳的地方無數。P.S. 有瀧內公美。望住架純妹，一念︰點解香港D女文青唔係金絲白面就係營養不良？
cp党差不多得了。。反正我谁都不站，为几个纸片人闹心至于吗
