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".
枪杀厂长然后找到钥匙驾车载着兄弟一路狂奔才是爽戏戏码，可这一切都被压抑住了。
一个会弹钢琴，会下围棋，内心正义的数学家来教你数学课的故事。当然，还有必不可少的南北对立元素。

现实生活里每天都在上演的东西。没什么意思。果然还是宣扬真善美的片子更能匡扶正气。这...
数学是永远都不会懂的东西，但却很好的看完了。对脱北主题的热爱吧。最后的重逢也完美结束，还可以吧。
真的很奇妙，我这个月看的电影《奇怪国家的数学家》也是讲教育做人，影片也讲道教育的腐败，黑暗，也讲到很多人学好数学是为了成绩和分数考个好学校，呼略了做人的道理和良知，所谓寒门学子在经历那次风波与北韩脱北者对碰，人生却如此大起大落，为了良知勇气，为了教育的纯洁，很愿意把这部电影分享给有孩子的家长和老师们看，注也很奇妙我这个月看教育的电影，这次电影分享会也分享教育方面的电影《超脱》，感谢上帝[玫瑰][玫瑰]
巴西电影往往有惊喜，当大家关注黑市奴隶劳工的同时，有没有关注卢卡先生，温水煮青蛙式的洗脑方式，一步一步令人忠心为他卖命。

今年威尼斯影展的地平线拓展单元，来自巴西，导演亚历山大·莫拉托此前有部同性题材的《苏格拉底》关注的是巴西底层人群生活的挣扎和缺失的爱。这一部同样延续了这种写实风格，将巴西弱肉强食的社会生态更赤裸地暴露给观众，但与上一部男主抱着母亲骨灰走向大海的执拗不同，这一次男主选择了适者生存，影片的最后他离开了奴役他的废弃场，而路的前方依然没有尽头…
人性的光辉在人性的黑暗面前如此虚妄和渺小！如果不理解为什么有人会做汉奸，看完此片豁然开悟!因为你压根儿就没有选择!
看之前认为老崔演这种题材会不会大材小用了，其他人配合不好，但是看到一半发现搭配的恰到好处。前半段剧情以为是心灵捕手结果后半段更像是闻香识女人。除了南北问题的点比较突兀之外，整体其实还算可以，最后老崔转变的剧情设计也是比较僵硬，实属遗憾。整体风格还是非常温暖的，值得一看。
若《浮俘》的渔民苦力尚是被遮掩的奴役，尚有对错之分、渔民的反戈一击存在“正当防卫”的合理性，《七囚徒》则是光明正大地拐卖人口，是《用后即弃的人》的所言及的“新奴隶制”，以致于男主角最终决定投诚，我们会认为是一个正确的决定，我们很快被这种经济、权力地位的提升所鼓舞，庆幸可以从第一视角感知人生的阶层跨越、焕然一新，所以我们会快乐，替男主松口气，却忘记铁门后眼巴巴被囚禁的其他人。这也是金钱至上的价值观反复驯化的结果，导演让观众变成小丑，一步一步成为恶的帮凶，放弃正义、善，并声称“不得已”。糟糕的人情社会中，连恶势力都会成为参政议员高升的靠山，而恶势力掌握的则是底层没有机会出人投地的劳动力，因为他们拥有合法的枪支。底层从黑社会体系中以暴力、以服膺获取升迁进而洗白，竟成了唯一出路，令人倍感惊悚。
不忘初心，牢记使命！
看到短评 居然有人和我一样想到了闻香识女人 电影想表达的东西太多了 韩国与朝鲜 韩国教育 纯粹的追求 就模糊了焦点 但李克成数学家走上演讲台的那一刻 那段感言真的让人想起闻香识女人那一段 那种恳切那种对自己过往的悔恨那种人生的无奈那种对生活的渴望 全在那段话里 大叔还是你的大叔 绝 故事蛮就是中规中矩
数学的亲近感。数学不能带来什么利益，除了升学。学好数学最重要的是勇气！不放弃，再来一次的勇气。
怎么说呢，演技好是可以把鸡汤冲淡的，并且看完有种“我一个废物也可以学好数学”的冲动。
数学是解开宇宙奥秘的语言，可惜我学不会，수포자就是我，我一直特别喜欢学数学好的人，特别能理解像北大韦神这样沉浸在数学公式里的天才，圆周率之歌真的太美妙
残酷的现实打垮了友谊。怎么出人头地，那就是灭掉良心，狠下来
有钱果然是可以为所欲为的. 不过女主为什么会喜欢上男主, 有点莫名啊
