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".
比预想中好看很多啊！最后全员出动的时候真的很燃。那个reporter居然是jimmy kimmel也是意外之喜
贝尔法斯特没有通往香格里拉的路，看电影那段爆哭，就是那么纯粹地爱着电影，因为你在我很小的时候就改变了我的世界，一直引导影响着我。我怎么能不爱你呢，
肯尼斯·布拉纳，一个庸俗/确有才气/沉迷摄影教材/醉心奇技淫巧/为自己中产以上的无趣童年涂脂抹粉/的自恋狂。
装备不错，哈哈哈。低幼里面又有些不一样的东西，确实有电影的画面和赶脚了，还不错，比上一部好看。
差点东西，看上去成本不算高，私人情感的表现不是特别深刻，但有诚意。judi演的好，还有老爷爷说的“你走了，贝尔法斯特还在”，演母亲的演员，情感表现的不动声色却含情脉脉
用我无感的手法在我无感的地方拍了一个我无感的年代里一个我无感的故事-11/19/21 at AMC Garden State Plaza 16
有些生活片段是有趣的，比如爷爷教孙子做题如何靠模糊字迹多拿分。看来我可以看儿童当主角的电影，但青春疼痛就大可不必了。看此片时我因为睡眠不稳定导致神智不清脑子一团浆糊，不过我还是喜欢的，多么不客观～
开头两分钟像旅游宣传片。"The Irish were born leaving, otherwise, the rest of the world would have no pubs." Good Friday Agreement保了爱尔兰二十年的和平 -- 虽然直到2000年贝尔法斯特街头仍有军队护送儿童上下学，十几年前两次在那里看到的遗迹和壁画记忆犹新。脱欧等于撕毁这一切，爱尔兰岛的统一似乎不再是个梦。
除了莱德的发型太丑了 其他细节都不错 娃喜欢
流水账到不明所以，再多放几首流行歌配乐就要成功把我逼疯了。
导演取材于自己的家乡，会有很多私藏的故事，理应会写出一个特别富有真情的剧本，可最后呈现的效果为何会如此平庸。炫技都已经炫成这个样子了，黑白所营造的年代感也被一扫而空。整部片子的风格很跳脱，导致完全跟不上它的节奏，入不了戏。音乐确实好听，但是也因为音乐太突出了，更能够反衬出其它部分的不足。导演的初心被一次又一次刻意的设计所淹没，所以尽管结局展现得很美，好像很能打动人，可到底都是空虚的。
加入了新队员，升级了装备，看来玩具也该更新一波了，😄
《罗马》在贝尔法斯特。最喜欢的是《正午》《双虎屠龙》与故事形成的互文（但砖头砸枪是什么鬼x）不过现在世界电影配乐风格都是金曲捞吗…………
1969年的贝尔法斯特骚乱打破了九岁男孩平静的生活，曾经充满欢声笑语的街头搭起了战壕般的壁垒，不断寄来的账单让日子再次增添了一丝窘迫，只有戏剧和电影为黑白的童年带来了一丝色彩。对于肯导来说，这是一部非常私人的电影，在多伦多电影节首映场的Q&A一度潸然泪下。然而这样的主题，却以幽默的方式呈现给观众，让人捧腹不止。片中很多彩蛋也很好笑，尤其是雷神漫画，真的笑死，简直怀疑肯导想在里面藏一个自己的宇宙。
跟上两部阿婆的比也还是自恋，但是粉丝如我，对肯爵圈地自萌的容忍度其实要高很多；个人/集体回忆碎片的取舍还是有点问题，整体观感偏乏味。
散文诗一样的电影 但拍的有点平淡寡味 演员加分不少
头一次看汪汪队立大功，我从来没想到狗狗们的装备能拯救地球d(ŐдŐ๑)儿子在旁边乐，我在旁边惊的目瞪口呆……太哇塞了
幼儿向好电影 从开头就能猜到结尾 冒险湾海龟 小腊肠犬贝贝 地铁乱扔垃圾男人 养了6只猫垃圾哈丁格市长 烟花地铁摩天大楼 莱德队长 阿奇救赎之旅 天气收集器 周三1号蒋老师咖啡🎁 624紧急文件 刘科不高兴 周四前天晚上烤鸭套餐 橙子奶茶 买👟邀请 周五昨天值班的晚上 给爷爷的200 赢下勇士G1 黄老二 去亿联 索菲亚吴总便车 豆花牛肉 醉酒 周六今天2点醒 小何💇🏻♂️ 下雨的黄老二 帝豪车库 重百买两条小裙裙
黑白影像，对称构图，走火入魔这一块儿恰好处于《法兰西特派》和《罗马》之间，中产阶级童年怀旧往事，一些纯真的点睛之笔掩盖不住表达的纯粹。不论是褒奖还是贬低，肯尼斯布拉纳都是目前好莱坞最会拍开心麻花的导演
《汪汪队立大功大电影》🐶
