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".
《诗》：章子怡有《一代宗师》的感觉，后面升华部分多余。
食之无味的产品，徐峥的部分也只是不功不过的作品，但这一次好歹回归了家庭，家国天下最后一步才回到了家庭。
章子怡＞徐峥＞吴京＞沈腾；王菲依然高水准。
除了鸭先知其他都感觉是明显的编剧急就章……
大年初四看得，第一单元，儿死了……第二单元，爹死了……怎么说呢，中央六请不要过年的时候放这个了吧
1乘风，抗日骑兵团，老父亲吴京＆吴磊
大年初四看得，第一单元，儿死了……第二单元，爹死了……怎么说呢，中央六请不要过年的时候放这个了吧
我的父亲，他既不是抗日将士，也是科学伟人，更不是商业大亨。我的父亲，他就是百万人群中，勤勤恳恳头顶天脚踩地的农民。我对这部电影，毫无感觉父辈的身影。
其实蛮好看的，章子怡导演作品也充满灵性，吴京如果把那场手撕鬼子去了可能会更好，不合逻辑明显脱戏，徐峥保持在正常水准线上，沈腾落了，可是你们有没有考虑过还有大量默默无闻的父亲和母亲呢？
《乘风》的漏洞最致命:打了信号弹，鬼子马上说这是假的，怎么知道这是假的呢？
《鸭先知》很搞笑啊，上海复古风，画面色调很饱满鲜艳。
章子怡导演的那部分故事是最完整的，徐峥那段效果最佳。本来不喜欢拼盘电影，现在发现在这么短的时间里也能讲好故事，挺好的！
片尾曲五星王菲YYDS，见你未见的世界，写你未写的诗篇，哭了。
四个作品，吴京与章子怡的短片，具有英雄的史诗感，宏伟壮大中撩拨人的泪腺；徐峥与沈腾的短片，以都市诙谐的视角，对父爱进行了深情的解读。观影时频频落泪，沉默无言的父爱，拥有如海的伟力。
《乘风》对标《亮剑》，骑兵连连长再次冲锋时，一下子将人带回当年亮剑骑兵冲锋那一段，每次看那一段都是热泪盈眶。
《乘风》 3.5/5
2>1>3>4，章子怡的处女作确实让人感受到了一个女导演在情感处理上的细腻，也是整部作品最大泪点所在，母子俩关于生死托福的对话一下子就击穿了我的情绪；吴京的片子是四个故事里真正意义上关于传统中国式父亲的刻画，内敛不善于表达父爱，但是受限于篇幅又没能把整个故事讲完整，当然这里也有一个泪点，就是最后张天爱说孩子叫乘风的时候；徐峥通过这几年的作品已经把上海小弄堂的生活气息拿捏的惟妙惟肖了，也已经把它变成了一种独属于自己的风格，这个片段最大的惊喜是老谋子的几秒钟，整个故事很生活化也很有回忆感尤其那些广告对于我这个年纪的人都经历过所以很有时空交错的共鸣；最后一个故事证明沈腾距离导演还有一个沈腾的距离，不过在这个故事里家长会那几分钟也是唯一能够真的无脑笑的几分钟，其他不提也罢。
分别给个分7、7、8、6。鸭先知很讨我喜欢，诗的叙事性要差一点结尾收的很好，乘风中规中矩，少年行差点意思。
徐>沈>吴=章。虚的越多越扣分，实的越多越加分。实加巧，就是佳作了。
我愿活成你的愿。
