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.

    单纯为了维文妹子看的,感觉有些老态,但身材还是很顶,片子本身倒是没有那么好笑,情节发展也都挺俗套的,关键一开始就有种假的不自然的违和感,还好并没有一俗到底,末尾走向了清新温暖的路线,不过这两人是真看不出有啥CP感。

    很好笑,跟诺丁山一样宅男遇女明星,最反差也最引人发噱的还是和家人聚餐的环节——这跟诺丁山也是一样的,总有这些电影让人感受到生活里的小确幸

    轻轻松松的喜剧,感觉打发下时间还行,不算的很出彩,男主造型有点刻意的丑

    21世纪的诺丁山,除了阶层,还要融合种族、集体和女权,一鸡多吃,结局也算反套路。

    家庭温情氛围很动人,老奶奶的葬礼演讲看得我都掉下了眼泪。这一生做个好人普普通通过也挺好的。

    本来只想用一部普通喜剧来打发一下容易瞌睡的下午时光,没想到还挺好看。最后男主既没和前妻复合,也没追到女明星,我很满意,因为这会为这个原本不可能发生的故事加上了一个自圆其说的结尾。

    可惜,丹尼尔·克雷格这五部《007》有着连贯的暗线却执行过于凌乱不统一,唯一值得欣喜的是故事在主题尚未走形时结束。那些在《007》系列中变得老套的阴谋诡计并非和以往那样用于造神,失势的反派反而引出神话主角所没有的至死的孤独,以及无能的父辈。克莱格的詹姆斯·邦德最后一次成为“007”时,他被赋予的任务是终结不断增殖的父辈幽灵——杀不尽的幽灵党,以及那些一次又一次来回着各种冒险之旅的前代007。这一代,我们看到的是面对母亲的阴郁而无能为力,但又一步步回归母亲所创造的世界,直到死亡才成为普通人的一生。

    结局给我哭的稀里哗啦,准确的说,从邦德去墓地看林德女士的时候,就开始掉眼泪,过去的时光一瞬间全回来了。

  • 萱沛 9小时前 :

    第一次因为看007差点儿哭成狗🐶我以为是不是因为年龄大了容易流泪🥲看到周围的人也纷纷在抹泪我释然了…影片最后有“James Bound will return”的友情提示,不过还是希望天使般的女儿长大后可以过正常的生活,别再和MI6有任何瓜葛。

    感觉就像是从十集电视剧里拼剪出来的160分钟,啰哩啰嗦还不连戏。更要命的是这个007(出于大家都懂得的原因)已经完全走样了,连点一杯只摇不搅的伏特加马丁尼都是心不在焉的在例行交功课;最吸睛的美女打斗也只不过是没头没尾的走个过场,算是什么邦女郎。

    毫不犹豫地在首映日选择了公司附近的激光IMAX2D版本,因为这是这类超级动作大片的最佳打开方式。007的那辆阿斯顿马丁是真的惊艳到了我,哪个男孩子不想拥有一辆这样的跑车呢?开头的追逐戏也充分利用了意大利的城邦地形,设计非常巧妙。而安娜·德·阿玛斯的这个装扮也完全不亚于她在《银翼杀手》中的模样,想必看过的人都无法忘记她那惊世骇俗的容颜与身段,真的甘之如饴。丹尼尔克雷格的最后一部007,因此再次触发只要邦德动情就会死的魔咒,不过以这样的形式来作为告别也未尝不可,感情戏对于不少观众而言可能有些冗长,但是拍得还算细腻动人,所谓的铁汉柔情确有其独特的魅力。其实片尾字幕后有个小小的彩蛋,告诉我们邦德还会回来的,第7任007会是谁呢?这个IP的生命力真是够强的,似乎可以永远拍下去...

    如果不是因为拍得早,真的以为凯瑞福永在全程致敬《鱿鱼游戏》。
