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.

    电影采用了双视角叙述堇与真奈之间朦胧的爱情 这段爱情就像没有说出口的钱包一样被隐藏了 真奈在堇去世后才察觉到自己的感情

  • 以山菡 3小时前 :

    emmmm有时候想说,双视角并不是换个卡梅拉就可以了,双视角想传达的东西是不一样的,这个片子算是一点都没有传达到,其次人物特点也不算做得太好,特点不鲜明,导致了我甚至没有怀念堇的感觉,也不知道为什么要怀念堇,此处建议看看隔壁的横道世之介,还有就是如果这个片子有想表达因为海啸带走了亲人朋友而走不出来的意思在的话,倒是get到了一点,其他的就表达不出来的感觉,意识流的部分甚至吓我一跳

  • 彩帆 2小时前 :

    一定是你喜欢的颜色

  • 帆云 8小时前 :

    虽然很淡,但还是被触动到了。实在是因为最近的生活过得跟灾难似的,看什么都能哭到崩了。

  • 姒雨旋 1小时前 :

    哪有那么多巧合,真是的,哪有那么多巧合。她可是和三四郎一样不和陌生人亲近的人,却在第二次见面就帮真奈抠嗓子眼。

  • 尹建元 1小时前 :

    给老婆找来下饭看的,槽点很多,还好能提供些笑料,算是完成任务。

  • 公星腾 2小时前 :

    完成度高,东北第三产业献礼了属于是。镜头语言略单调,喜感到位情节尚可,合格网大

  • 习芳芳 4小时前 :

    但是还是有很喜欢的地方

  • 南门曼雁 7小时前 :

    拍得不是很聪明,是松散、平淡,缓慢的,也有种漫无目的、不知所云的混乱,但仍是有感动人心的瞬间,岸井雪乃表现不差,在一些角度下还挺好看的,美波非常非常可爱,她真的是太会撩了,可惜两人的对手戏太少了,来来回回就是那几段,用海来形容这个双向暗恋的蓝色故事再合适不过了,望着一望无际的大海,听着海浪拍打在礁石上,好安静,好难过。

  • 扶嘉玉 4小时前 :

    不知道灾难创伤和两位女主之间非同寻常的情感导演到底更想表达哪一个(我显然更想看后者…),反正看起来哪个都浅浅掠过。塞了很多隐喻,但是没什么有效表达

  • 印天恩 7小时前 :

    终于把心意传达到了你所在的大海。短暂内心的平静,窗外的雨声比海浪声平稳。

  • 宁长平 2小时前 :

    舒缓、悲伤、朦胧的女孩们的故事。剧情乏善可陈,画面色彩光影我都很喜欢。尤其喜欢她们去旅行的片段,大片蓝白色系里点缀着亚麻色和红色,电车驶过,视野里留下绽放的樱花,还有灿烂明媚的阳光下的大海。回忆里的每一帧都镀着温暖清朗的光泽,而失去后的现实是昏黄的。

  • 帆林 4小时前 :

    铺垫真的很长,会让我觉得在看海啸灾难纪录片(没有不尊重灾难的意思),东亚女本子电影本来就不多还这么苦逼,真的谢了。不过从堇视角出发的那一段搭配音乐感觉挺不错的,很符合“隐藏在友情下的无望爱人”,挺悲怆的

  • 帅白翠 5小时前 :

    崔志佳的处女导演作品,能感受到强烈的有心意没诚意的作品。作品完成度很高,很像一个经过名师指点没有太多瑕疵的学霸作业,但是没有自己的热情。导演真的对主题很有感情吗,我完全感觉不到,就连点主题的旁白字幕都要秒过,真的想骂人。不过过场明星和中间夹杂的笑点确实是能看出心意,就是有点小品通病了,小品和其他影视作品的区别在于 题材和主题只是个容器,而非一个骨架。还有一个特别给四颗星的原因,东北地方电影没有下岗和下雪还真是难得中的难得。

  • 应梓颖 9小时前 :

    不能理解导演为什么能把这种故事拍得这么无聊

  • 伦笑槐 4小时前 :

    (上一个这种剧本普通但是抱着对美女们期待下载的霓虹百合片还是《再见嘴唇》

  • 勇枫 9小时前 :

    请了一堆东北老乡拼出来一个爱笑会议室的小品电影,动机虽然土,但还是挺有趣的,可惜和一系列“东北之神”的电影一样,一个还不错的梗硬生生最后拍成了致敬90年代香港喜剧的二人转闹剧电影

  • 乌华婉 0小时前 :

    这,算喜剧吗?反正喜剧的笑点不多。范大明白5万,让孙越找明星录视频,孙胖子转手2500约于谦,然后于谦再扒皮,哈哈哈哈。一般吧,恩,上映也是网上上映的,而且 最后的版权归腾讯,对辽。一看一乐的事。这个刀爷,把自己全部的积蓄都要用在对别人的弥补上了。还以为是个深藏不露的富翁呢,原来是为了赎罪的普通人。那个男不男女不女的唱歌的,到底叫二手玫瑰还是二手月季啊,他的歌,在那种环境下听,还行。

  • 婷沛 3小时前 :

    逝去的人和尘封的回忆如同潮水一样,一波一波涌来。言语之外的那些小细节很值得玩味,只是节奏太太太慢了。

  • 丽彤 5小时前 :

    试想表达和《千与千寻》同样的主题,反复与多角度来体现"更深",也用了学来的很多有趣的想法,但做法不很成熟.小清新的风格,和主题思想冲突很大,日本人已经对痛觉望而却步了吗?喜好偏见,大众而言是可以接受的作品,而且值得回味.
