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.

    以梦为马,不枉出发,用热爱画出清晰的轨迹,用拼搏增加前进的动力。年少有为,少年无畏。

    古田新太演的真好,真好,松坂桃李及几位配角也是演的很好,全片充斥着痛苦压抑的基调,从一开始就是一种丧到彻骨的感觉,看到古田饰演的父亲一角说出:他们是怎么和解的呢?突然觉得无比心碎,每个人都有错但是每个人又都没有错,最后的鲸鱼画作收的很好,斯人已逝,温柔所留下的,也只剩内心的那一份隐藏的空白。

    超级推荐,所有人都要看。社会家庭学校。最受谴责的不是直接关系人,而是事情因你而起,最痛苦的折磨也不是别人对你的指责,而是无法弥补愧疚。自己内心是最难逾越的,做错事本就要承担一些东西,没有绝对的对与错,时间会淡化一切,只要还活着,一切都会如常的继续。

    父亲,母亲,店长或是店员们,究竟是谁的错,谁该原谅谁呢,最后才发现只有与自己和解了,放过那份执着,才能拥抱明天的美好。很有戏剧冲突,剧情不错,很有感悟。

    2021电影旬报十佳电影一部比一部好啊……

  • 吉初 4小时前 :

    虽然有太空、有失落文明,但剧情还是很低幼,低幼表现在人物的思考、困境的解决都是偏闹剧化的。因此情感不足,余韵没有,看过即忘。

  • 娄晶滢 8小时前 :

    陪大宝二宝一起看的,看之前还担心二宝坚持不了100分钟,做好中途退场的准备。事实是我多虑了,各个角色的造型都摆脱了电视动画的糙劲,变得圆润和萌感。剧情还好没有因为动画片糊弄。没有让人不适的镜头和场面,参考了机甲动画的创意。最后的机甲大战就是奥特曼大战怪兽的翻版。有笑点 ,有煽情。适合全家一起观看。熊出没系列一年一步的节奏注定会长期坚持下去。

    一张报纸,揉成团,再把它铺平。虽然父亲最后觉悟出要和别人达成和解,可是伤痕刻在每个人的心里,永远都不能抚平。说不上很差,但也不至于是佳片

    只能靠跟儿子的问话来推断——应该是不如上一部《狂野大陆》。

  • 卫朝聚 2小时前 :

    很典型的日本社会,那种压抑的感觉仿佛要溢出屏幕。电影切入了很多个视角,父亲、肇事司机、学校、便利店老板、新闻媒体、路人……但是每一个点好像都没有讲清楚。唯独没有受害者花音的视角,她的故事只余下一片空白,等着留下的人去勾勒和涂抹。这个故事里最尊重生命的人就是花音的母亲。其他人或多或少都在漠视自己或他人的生命。

    解说哪里看出来店长不喜欢女的?所有的事情都是爸爸不关心女儿引起的嘛

  • 明从安 8小时前 :

    分给低了。古田新太的演技真的很棒。好久没看到这么棒的日影了。有一幕店长当便当店给错了便当而崩溃这种小事,在这之前他已经自责内疚压抑到不行,一边发疯把便当扔满地,又狠狠骂完对方再给对方道歉。承受了太多痛苦,只需要一件让他崩溃的小事就能彻底击倒他。真的是压死骆驼的最后一根稻草。还有一幕老师说,有时候可能自己真的努力了,但是外界看不到自己在努力并不代表自己没有努力啊。感慨真的很深。

  • 卫裕峰 1小时前 :

    记录一起意外事件之后众人的反应,其中有很多关于离异单亲家庭对子女的伤害,社会新闻对个体的欺凌,以及日本独有的社会压力对个体的伤害……很写实,也很有看点,少见的日本电影模式,更加西化

  • 庞曼彤 1小时前 :

    3.5看完心情蛮复杂的...就是说哇,只晓得利用舆论而进行恶意剪辑的新闻媒体真的很可恶。大货车司机的线莫名其妙没了,不过大部分的女性角色都塑造得好棒。看到最后,一度觉得最初认为父亲只是借女儿的意外到处发脾气的自己是不是该道个歉www意思是转折好突然,但这种转折应该也是蛮真实的吧
