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.
这其实是不是两个男人的战争，而是一个女人对抗整个世界，为了尊严，为了自我。
一个女人说：“我说的（才）是真相。”另一个女人说：“真相从来不重要。”从未经历高潮的女人被要求生子，想做贤妻的女人被指责为娼妓。当一个女人被强暴，全世界都是有罪的。/只是司机演英俊男人真的不太有说服力呃。以及如果奥斯卡给了小K提名却没给Jodie，那只能说学院瞎了眼。
[视]章节<金刚川>，叙事、敲门PTSD<最后生还者第二章>。卷福之外最成功的长脸，毁了星战正传、寡姐婚姻、本马友谊，反派人设过硬。<去他M的世界>男主客串惊喜，王后一角不在豆网演员表里表示惋惜，<失控玩家>女主像温和版贝蒂·吉尔平，第二章才认出大本(减肥成功，侧脸查理·汉纳姆)。女权片，诺曼底之耻，强J主题增加决斗的必要性、决斗悬念的窒息感。试衣男模卷发神似甜茶犯PTSD，教小孩不要给熟人开门的重要性，压住无法呼吸、没杀那匹黑马致敬黑命贵。首尾呼应，舆论，生死，尊严，荣耀，即使不做历史的书写者，也要做自己的主人
天堂里一定每周都能看到雷老的新片不然不足以为极乐世界
新现实主义拍法，时代立住了；经过前两章，会明白中世纪价值观的特点，无论是自律的还是自恋的，都是以自我荣誉和价值为先，拥有严格的等级观念；两男的矛盾虽说是误会，但其实是传统骑士领主思维和技术官僚新贵族的斗争，而女性变成了两种价值观的牺牲品。景别，从第一章的全景式景观为主、第二章进入伯爵的阴暗室内、第三章着眼于庄园本身，很符合三个人的人物性格视角。缺点在于多视角导致戏剧点混乱，除了制造悬念没有太多作用，人物弧光片面，属于这种论文式拍法的通病（“钛”也有这个问题）；而且，女主作为中世纪女性，至少应该为名誉恢复而高兴吧，就算女权觉醒，也该在乎自我的社会信任度啊
非全知视角下的事实耐人寻味，但篇幅的分配是否又说明了事实？是张弛有度的故事，是刺激紧张的决斗，但在一个肮脏的基础上，这些粉饰都应当黯然褪色。生育工具？泄欲对象？挑逗暧昧？欲拒还迎？都不是，她是一个人，一个独立的个体，一个应当被尊重、应当被平等对待、应当掌控自己命运的女性。
什么罗生门，赤裸裸的绞杀与视而不见的冷漠组成的厌女联盟罢了，配合评论区某些言论整个一大型世界屠宰场，每天一个乞求世界毁灭的理由
罗生门的结构多少还是受了当前政治环境的影响，在叙事上意义不大，不过是多了层讽刺意味。。。不过一流导演就是一流导演，掌控力太强了
天堂里一定每周都能看到雷老的新片不然不足以为极乐世界
三星半。罗生门式的故事。所谓为女性尊严而战，不过是为了男性尊严而战。
看著茱蒂·科默那張韻味別緻的臉蛋，不時會讓人出戲去回味“小變態”詭異又捉狹的表情，只怪她在《殺死伊芙》裡表演的太經典了。
黑泽明用樵夫的视角见证了一场菜鸡互啄，让人深感人性无望的崩溃；《最后的决斗》里让宗教、政权围观了一场罗马斗兽，将本应严肃的审判变成一场儿戏，不是为了女性申冤，只是为了男性的“财产”不受侵犯，荣光属于男性。庆幸的是，字幕至少给了一丝微光。
女性独立的启蒙，居然是雷德利的作品，一点儿不玄幻，剧中大多数男人和女人的智商也都不在线。可能只是面对巨额投资，雷老头想玩玩以前没玩过的罗生门叙事吧，顺便组个对得起投资金额的卡司阵容。
多角度叙事，更有立体感，但稍显冗长。前面的沉闷，是为最后的迸发作铺垫。女性受男性凌辱，不仅被同性谴责，还要受男权的审判。人性的虚伪，表露无遗。
罗生门视角揭露人物的心灵运作：从莽夫的视角看到委屈，从弄臣的视角看到征服，从女性的视角看到禁锢和失声。近乎同机位来比较记忆的偏差，男性自我美化的过程暴露无遗，保守示好曲解为媚眼如丝，狼狈丢鞋曲解为欲拒还迎，而男性的一切行为都恪守了荣誉。为什么拼死上诉这一段，回应了metoo质疑者的问题。听耐观影说历史上女性发起上诉没有记载，但我不反对一切历史都是当代史。
全方位展示中世纪风土人情，路是真泥泞，头发编的是真漂亮
ps: jodie的小眼神总是让人出戏，但是在chapter3里还是演技在线的🥺
-“雷爷爷厌男” -“他是厌男还是厌人” 😂😂
拍得还行挺有质感的，不过文戏偏多，也因为这个系列的打戏比文戏精彩很多，所以最后一部难免没前三部那么好看，另一个问题是佐藤健演得太沧桑了，按理说这个是前传剑心只有十几岁，不应该有中年人的感觉，也可能是这种状态太难演了，毕竟演员都三十多了，得兼顾少年感和被事故冲击后的落魄感，对于佐藤健来说太高难度了本来他就不算演技精湛的演员，他的短板就跟这个系列一样，武戏好于文戏，雪代巴就是个花瓶，没有电影的镜头感，美是美但差点气质和味道，戏演得也有点面瘫，这个系列前后两个女主的演技都不太好
蒙昧、宗教、令人厌烦的性、男人、血与禁锢；一个吃绝户的大老粗，一个风流成性的马屁精(四个不同的场景说他帅真的笑死我了）最恶心的还是司机的角色，幻想着她生活得水深火热，以爱之名行强迫之实傲慢又恶心，到死都不认为自己做错了，向上帝祷告也只是告解“通奸”，customary protest my ass，强迫一幕还和之前与大本两个炮友一起嫖的场面完全一致，no means fucking no！; the book of love是《爱经》么？餐桌一幕谈到女人和男人会爱两个时候的静默和大笑也很有意味
