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.
披着重金属壳子的校园青春片，注定会被黑金死金粉怒批，建议还是去看重金属囧途
场面宏达，平凡之人的不平凡之处。👍 👍 👍
两个男主的长相真的戳到我了。剧情比较老套。主要是看脸。
5.片尾曲是杰哥唱的，哈哈哈
虽然雨中徒手攀岩等剧情不是很真实，但是电影展现的铁道兵这个群体的精神还是打动人的。
什么玩意，组一个乐队，最后才是高光时刻，然后主唱还摔断了腿
乐队大战热血沸腾了
本来是做饭洗碗顺带看的，没想到很惊喜，很燃很炸，女主没想到也很大。嗯。五星。
轻松喜剧 但节奏有点太慢 拉大提琴女主最后变装真的太帅 骄纵乐队的主唱帅死 怪不得得第一哈哈哈哈
也恭喜你的电影圈征程有这个体面且不错的开端。
虽然电影剧情走向就是普通的青春校园歌舞剧，穿插着爱情友情亲情的纠葛，但里面的音乐完全酷！炸！了！好！吗！谁说格格不入的人一事无成
汉特好像张柚，从长相到性格都像。甚至头十分钟就让我爱上这一点也像。
剧情很简单 但是真的对这种讲音乐类型的青少年电影毫无抵抗力
暴雨徒手攀悬崖，助跑飞跃直升机，稍微玄幻了点哈。朱一龙不愧是拍过盗墓笔记的男人，身手不凡hhh
挺好看的，结尾不够出彩，其他的还不错。尤其是男孩痴迷练鼓的那段很上头……
玩死亡重金属的确实都有点中二，但这里颜值还是不错的
常规校园青春题材。虽然不曾经历，但某些瞬间能让你感同身受，偶尔回想起校园生活
有被小洪和小卢的爱情给震撼到，希望有情人终成眷属
工业催泪弹，一般
全程无尿点 除了朱一龙的技能有点bug 爹死了有点难受 其他每个点很好啊！人民不能花人民币吗！找钱！感觉是中国灾难片的里程碑 还致敬了铁道兵 爱了
