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.
警官之血还会有2么？20年拍的电影，如果要有2是不是现在就应该计划拍摄了……但是这个结局肯定是要有2的，韩国目前电影圈都受疫情影响很大，只求2别流产🙏
去年《乡下人的悲歌》里的纽黑文凤凰男JD之2.0版：纽黑文凤凰男JR
（戏剧冲突一般，故事情节张力也不太够，节奏也有些拖沓。完全是冲着赵震雄去看的）
不推荐，有一点boyhood的影子，有创伤的小孩长大，也没有多温柔
这啥啊 演员大多是熟脸 但拍出来的是啥玩意儿啊 。 男主突然心态转变得好僵硬 一点都不能说服我 全程没有爆点
日本推理小说改编的韩国电影，结果真是半点推理剧情都没有，演员都是好演员，但能把犯罪题材拍这么无聊也是不容易…2.5
大概改编于日本小说的缘故，风格有别于韩影其他罪案片。节奏很紧凑，对警察的职责发出疑问，什么样子的执法为最终选择，是法律还是市民？就像台词里所说的：警察要始终立身于警戒线上方，黑与白，站哪一边也不行，只要市民们支持我们的工作，我们始终都能站在灰色地带上方，当然，稍有不慎，人们会把我们纳入黑的那一方，这就是警察。游走在河边的人，把握不好这个度，那就是“唯独不要当警察”！
(pointing at this movie: This is how you recommend your song list people!
正太JR很轻松地答出Super Cooper酒吧一众侧目然后King Harvest的Dancing in the Moonlight前奏切入的瞬间
克鲁尼，你改行做导演是为了啥呢，为了让另一个改行做过导演的重拾导演自信吗......下次拍104分钟舅舅带娃吧，礼貌四星
好久没看这么暖心的电影了 查理舅舅在小侄子的成长中撑起来一片天地 弥补了父爱 也做了人生导师
叔叔带娃，所有带娃改变人生的片子我都不感冒
就不难看，韩国类型片的及格水准。这类型啥时候能重振雄风啊，好久好久没有优秀之作了。
但也不至于看不进去。
即便有可爱的小崔 我也觉得剧情好无聊 而且实话实说 小崔演技忽高忽低
永远不要打女人 ٩(✘д✘๑;)۶
同类型的故事韩影拍了好多 赵震雄也演了好多 看的时候还好 过段时间我可能会想不起来它的剧情内容 警官之血不如翻译成灰警
很生活化的电影 男孩子成长阶段确实需要一个男性的榜样 会让孩子更好的正面成长
不得不说，这么常见的一个韩国剧本，竟然拍得没看懂。浪费三个男神。
男主和舅舅之间、还有姥爷之间都很温馨，一家子人吵吵闹闹互相嫌弃但心是在一起的。就是男主上大学后面比较无聊😅😅😅
