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.
拍电影这个情节真不错，不用看庄园里的人吵来吵去但又有足够的喜剧冲突。很温暖，即便“We're orphans at last”。
每一次的开头都做好准备，但是老太太在众人环绕下安然离世的时候还是猝不及防红了眼眶。新生命的降临，新时代的接替，我们不断在和过去告别。
就是把几集剧集的内容拼在一起，重看发现根本看不下去，太难看了。
Downtown lives forever in my heart.
它的优雅，它的善良，经过这么多年，依旧能在即使你忘记的时候叫你想起，为什么那么喜欢它。i hope you`ll be as happy as our cruel world allows. 还是那么让人欢喜感动。
好家伙，就是把原来的TV版合并了一下，我还以为出新的了呢…⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
可以叫《唐家屯拥有钢铁般意志的女人们和她们只会哭哭啼啼的男人们》。女性角色个个出彩，男性角色没有存在感
看到我的Edith不仅家庭幸福生活美满，还没有被伯爵夫人的title禁锢，重新做起了撰稿人和编辑，写文章，摄影，运营报社……就觉得好开心。整个Downton系列最喜欢的就是二小姐，当把自己困囿于别人给予的关注与爱里，收获的只会是患得患失，只有自己找寻到人生的意义，精神独立地生活，才能不畏旁人目光，活得精彩活得开心。这是她教会我的道理。很高兴有Edith陪我度过漫长岁月，再见啦！
是最多情的一集了，没想到英伦庄园里人人心中都有一段浪漫故事。浓浓的时代氛围感，轻松自如的笔法勾勒新旧交替时的尴尬，默片转有声的拍摄场景令人如同搭乘时光机器，一窥划时代影像的诞生全程……全片最为人动容的不是时代的新老交替，而是老伯爵夫人Maggie Smith的那场谢幕演出，以及被删减的LGBT情节（饰演男主角的男演员与唐顿庄园的男仆本有段缘分，可惜大银幕上只可意会不可言传）。年轻时一段露水情缘，却让多情男人终身念念不忘，以至于要以南法海景别墅相赠（羡煞旁人），垂垂老矣的麦格教授深情款款回忆似水年华——无论经历了什么，开始我们大家都不喜欢，渐渐也都习惯了，而这就是生活。愿可爱的老奶奶健康长寿。
就是把几集汇成一部电影？有点随意啊，每集间接得不是很好，有重复
一個時代結束了，時間的火車終究要向前行駛。
十年唐家屯，这应该是句点了。这部剧伴随了我在英国的全部岁月，感情深到已经觉得每一个角色都像是身边的朋友，一切美好都投射在重聚的画面里，只要看到他们聚在一起，就想打五星了。一个个刻在心里的名字，交代了每个人的美好结局，是的，granny的离去也那么美好，A New Era，以无声电影向有声转变作为结束，仆人们坐在主人的桌上共演一场戏，还能有比这更令人fulfilling的收尾吗。
野猪好可爱啊哈哈哈。黄毛在这篇里更可爱。为了保护祢豆子被揍得好惨哈哈哈哈哈。然后其实还挺强的啊。
看的中国删减版本，有点遗憾又有点庆幸。在目前这种转趋严峻的时局下，可以在电影院里衣着体面地目睹OLD MONEY在银幕里的得体风度，是每一位欣赏西方古典审美的中国人从现实生活中暂时抽离获得喘息的宝贵机会。文艺鸦片的治愈力是难得的奢侈品。电影造梦的情节做足致敬姿态，希望没人会被新潮流丢下。仆人登上宴厅，是老爷温情的回馈，还是历史给予的预告：痛恨大革命的管家，最后也无奈哀叹高贵老玫瑰的凋零。
Downtown lives forever in my heart.
为了让它更像一部电影，在情节结构上做了有限的努力：从婚礼开始、以葬礼结束，从默片时代到有声电影时代。我知道它不是一部好电影，但在老太太离世的段落还是哭得泪流满面。从第一部开始就在极力渲染的离别情绪，时至今日，似乎必须正式向那个以优雅高贵的典范与惯例为日常生活方式的时代告别。黄金时代的落幕，像是在唐顿庄园的外墙遍洒余晖，而漏雨的屋顶则要伴随着新生活的改变，被填补，被覆盖。祝福遥远的人和生活，在看不清未来的New Era.
电影拍的越来越有fanfic的味儿了，看的粉丝心满意足
另外，小火车感情线被一剪梅了，不过辞职原因肯定是男演员把火车开走了。即使剪了应该也能get到吧❤️
新时代来啦。
时代的告别式。上一次已经是疫情前，第一季则是12年前了。差点忘了这建筑、这音乐、这家人。
