剧情介绍

  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".

  • 雅妍 8小时前 :

    因为一件中世纪性侵案而开展的决斗,以及围绕三个视点的罗生门般的叙述,只可惜这三个视点在视听手法上并没有加以区分,甚至同样的镜头连用两到三次,更多的是人物心理上的差异,达萌应该是三人中最“幸福”的,因为他或许从来都没过自己会输,依然虔诚地认为上帝会替他作证;司机荒谬地认为他爱她就不算性侵,却没想到身败名裂(而片中女性每个都说他帅气我是忍不住笑了);朱迪则是最坚定,她只是勇敢地说出真相;最后的决斗也很精彩,将悬念放到最后一刻,而结局也显示出导演的善意,只是当他决定将一切交给上天的那刻起,我们都变成决斗场边的看客,真相好像也变得不再重要,而可悲的是,这一点或许从古至今都未曾改变。8.2

    所以,他们三个人说的都是真的吧,只是一些细节上的主观不同。

  • 春家 3小时前 :

    实际上Beginning这一部,文戏感情戏占太多,动作戏不算惊艳,不如Final好看,也没其他几部打得过瘾,但这部是浪客剑心的源头,脸上十字伤疤起点,缠缠绵绵腥风血雨,一切故事由此开始,村花饰演的雪代巴的纠结和纯情,还是令人感动。

  • 纵清悦 5小时前 :

    浪客剑心真人版系列最好的一部。影片开始一连串的厮杀先声夺人,亮明了刽子手拔刀斋的冷酷无情,喷溅的血成雾状,配合拔刀斋快速的劈砍,在视觉上造成很强的冲击感。带着怨念的刀疤,一场腥风血雨的邂逅,雪代巴是刽子手的刀鞘,她带着仇恨却救赎了绯村,将他杀人的刀封印起来让他活着像个人。佐藤健演绎的绯村拔刀斋纯真温润的让人心碎,有村架纯的雪代巴出奇的好,转型很成功

  • 皇锐泽 7小时前 :

    最后的四十分钟扳回了一城。前1小时五十分钟都难以撑起一个有效且深入的叙事视角(而且场景琐碎)每一个男性视角与其说是“视角”不如说说只是各类场景呈现和信息补充。而且这也不是一个罗生门的故事:玛格丽特的实际处境和两个男性的实际面貌以及那场强奸的所谓“真相”在前两个章节里就已经基本可以定性,而且同样的内容基本重复了两次。到第三章最让人痛苦的的部分恰好是向其丈夫坦白自己遭遇后的那一幕以及她的心理:主体意志虽生长完备且看似得以彰显但依然被动地受制于男性的决斗结果:丈夫决斗失败她会惨死,丈夫决斗胜利正义也只属于他的财产权和骑士名。导演没有拍这场决斗中属于女主的正义,但这份被保留下来的、隐抑的痛苦是全片之魂。

  • 裔安露 2小时前 :

    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

  • 缑翠柏 4小时前 :

    前两段叙事效率不佳,第三段碰瓷罗生门没道理,归根到底我很怀疑这个题材选择对宗教权力的强化能否真正帮助两性在性议题上的松绑。

  • 雪彦 4小时前 :

    真相无人在意,众人关注的只有利益纠纷与骚乱刺激,这是最血淋淋的真相

  • 镜悠馨 5小时前 :

    7/10 中世纪罗生门,METOO觅到西元前

  • 美萱 5小时前 :

    最后8分钟的决斗一气呵成,我个人从情感上希望看到卡鲁日获胜,而从剧作上希望看到勒·格里获胜。不过现在的剧本也给到了一个足够具有反思性的结尾,勒·格里直到死前都不相信“强奸”真实发生过。你是什么,便看到什么

  • 殳以柳 6小时前 :

    开始以为是类似罗生门这样的剧本,但事实是蛮清楚的,就是原来的好基友抢了爵士地盘又强奸了他的妻子,这仇恨使得最后的结局不言而喻。唯一的区别只是大家都会各自美化自己的言行。最后决斗胜利属于尚非常符合逻辑,毕竟尚一直在征战而勒格里斯后来成了皮尔的会计终日沉迷酒色也忘了初心。玛格丽特是忍辱负重,婆婆不待见老公粗暴没情调,性生活也不和谐,还好最后守得云开。

  • 谌飞舟 8小时前 :

    画面挺唯美出色,OST弱了一点 相比动画版不止一点,剑心的高马尾相比动画版整个气质都很还原,心中永远的最强漫改。

  • 涂月天 3小时前 :

    刚开始以为是潘金莲故事,中间变成了罗生门,最后才是上帝的审判,人性的多面性和复杂性一览无余。在特殊的历史时期,人类的封建蒙昧做法还真是无奈的选择,看的让人揪心。最搞笑的是马特与大本演一对冤家对头,小马哥还给大本下跪,估计会笑场吧。

  • 苍沈靖 7小时前 :

    挺好的,这真是很久很久以前了。真勇啊。不知道这种想法受了什么主义的影响,总觉得今人当然比古人全方位地厉害。其实美好的品质,并不会随着时间维度的拉长而更多或更少。//but,我看到大本和达蒙在一个画面里就想笑。演员还是应该保持神秘。。。

  • 格云 9小时前 :

    最后的生死斗好看!现在最后一口气没上来的电影太多了,高潮戏货真价实的难能可贵

  • 淑妍 3小时前 :

    Jean的本质除了鲁莽就是虚荣 他表面上呈现出来的爱老婆人设 都是为了满足他在众人面前的尊严 从争地到护妻 统统都是满足他个人的虚荣和维持人设罢了 妻子只是他可以操纵的从属品而已 可同时他也是既得利益者中被众人唾弃和嘲笑的人 他的确是个具有“正义感”的人 可黑暗社会本身的信条终归是与正道背道而驰的 而最后的决斗和豁出去也绝对不是为了给妻子复仇 单纯只是为了挽回自己的名誉 而愤怒也大多出于对谄媚强权名贵的憎恶 可难能可贵的是 第三章的女性受害者视角 包括她与婆婆以及其他女性之间的对话等 都显示出她才是深陷泥沼却无法忍受着强权压迫和束缚的真正“绝醒之人” 冲破父权的邪恶以生命的代价来换取真正的正直 如果历史足够戏剧 希望俩男主在决斗中双双战死 成也父权 败也父权嘛 哈哈哈哈我看挺好

  • 索夜柳 8小时前 :

    对比这两天的新闻来看,更显出这部电影的好。

  • 茜露 1小时前 :

    赶紧拍啊!乡亲们都盼着呢。191117//雪代巴要是换苍井优来演就更好了,这个巴一般情况。最后的雪景有点假啊。211212//

  • 藤孤菱 5小时前 :

    章节标题字幕淡出的方式道出了作者所认为的the truth,即玛格丽特夫人口中的才是真相,然而“The truth does not matter”。怀孕的科学依据更显时代荒谬,高高在上的国王则一直在以看戏的态度来检视这场决斗。最让我着迷的是电影“平淡”的剧本。保守之中见真章,相比于末路狂花,我更喜欢这一部。
