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".
真的好笑，够讽刺，大表姐可以。如果世界末日能把身边的渣男友换个甜茶也挺好的啊。那个超级富翁还想卡特兰作品里的人，就是有种假假的感觉。
讽刺到位，美国体制的失败。媒体，科学家，民众，都被政客，商人玩坏了。
甜茶好好看 只要鼻子好看+清晰的下颌线 人就不会丑到哪里去
后面还蛮飞的。片子很讽刺地表达了人类娱乐至死的劣根性。
大表姐咋胖成这样了…真相其实凄惨得多，他们甚至没有聪明到可以像你们描述得那样邪恶。近期最好的政治讽刺喜剧大作，台词的密度和信息量都让人满意，意识形态高度对立社会的的绝佳写照。
netflix有钱没处花，请各位大咖来拍这种自作聪明毫无新意纯属浪费各位时间的烂片还不如直接拍一个新冠纪录片，很久没看到真正的黑色幽默政治讽刺片了，有的只是陈词滥调和无聊的烂梗 BTW这片子演员一个比一个大牌，演技也一个比一个套路化
真的是一部非常非常美国的电影，美国人自黑起来 真的六亲不认。Don't Look Up，因为有颗彗星即将要撞上地球。莱昂纳多饰演的天文学教授 意外地发现了一颗巨星彗星即将在半年后撞击地球，他和学生一起向媒体、甚至总统呼吁末日危机，但是人们只把他们当作危言耸听的疯子。总统后来倒是承认了他们的这个末日论，但是她却只不过是把彗星当做了自己竞选连任的筹码，甚至联合科技公司开采彗星的矿石。本来以为是一部闹哄哄的黑色幽默喜剧、只不过借着世界末日的科幻外壳嘲讽一些社会现象，没想到最后却是反套路剧情，华盛顿的英雄主义这次以另一种形式出现在了荧幕上，试图拯救人类的科学家与家人挚友丧生在了温馨的家庭晚宴上，懦弱的美国总统带着众人在数万年的冷冻后到达了另一个适宜居住的天体 但一下飞船就被大鸟给啄死了 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！
结尾晚餐挺有禅意的，世界末日终于到了，甜茶的祷告词真的很美，看看评论发现好多人圣诞节看这部，有被治愈到，not alone
卡斯阵容强大，演技在线看着舒服，剧情走向离奇，多次提及我大中华，看来美国的恐华症确实越来越严重，期待什么时候我们自己也有这种片子在影院放映
挺好看的政治喜剧，揶揄的也不仅是政治，而是当下的众生相。政客商人全是私利，乌合之众也好不到哪儿去。互联网时代无秘密，但政客却依然能挑动每个人的神经线，或者也不是他人的挑唆，全是私利使然。又想到最近“请指教”中的【大嘴巴子】，类似的表达，我比较同意杨超的说法，后者有喜剧的框架，却缺了喜剧的血肉，当然有篇幅所限，但更重要的是一些生活的冗余。科学家也被私利裹挟，忽然的浮华世界让他眼花缭乱，立场也在不断变化。很喜欢这部片子的剪辑，讨论与宣布因为剪辑增强了节奏感、趣味性与讽刺。演员阵容也惊艳，小李子已经演成年人的父亲，凯特女王居然可以把个妖艳贱货诠释得如此不讨厌也好奇妙，当然还有梅姨。很多桥段非常解构，无论是中将拿白宫免费零食骗钱，抑或彩蛋的万年后怪鸟吃人。当代喜剧电影确实需要脑洞乱入的戏谑！
首先是不够荒诞，尤其是在这个post-covid这个本就很荒诞的现实环境下看……其次也不够好笑，除了Meryl的表演；然后虽然众星云集，但出来的效果大多一般吧（Mark Rylance不要再演电影了啊啊啊啊啊
除了至亲那有什么齐心协力 利益第一才是全球化的根本趋势
哈哈哈火力全开，要素过多，荒诞又现实，好笑又苦涩。亚当麦凯处理群戏驾轻就熟，政客玩弄权术、商人趁火打劫、媒体娱乐至死、学术无能为力，条条大路通群灭。曾经的我们还试图追问，但逐渐发现这个世界有太多像三星中将贩卖白宫免费零食一样难以理解的事。继波吉王子留了徐志胜同款发型以后，小李子也喜提花瓶美发。
比起社会治理的无效性，我更感兴趣的是两位专业人士如何被体制改变、腐蚀或边缘化
大牌云集，而且免费，不看实在说不过去。的确很有SNL大电影的感觉，各自对现实的讽刺，但是更讽刺的是除了彗星撞地球这个高概念的设定之外所有的段子都是新冠以来真实存在的。最搞笑的是最后的彩蛋，女总统被外星恐龙吃掉的一幕。
don't look up the truth and go hell...
讽刺到位，美国体制的失败。媒体，科学家，民众，都被政客，商人玩坏了。
导演把如此劲爆的主题拍的如此平庸，反而强化了主题：核平人类宜早不宜迟。
黑镜圣诞特别篇，Don’t look up的点找得毒，抬头望星空，低头刷手机，文明的两种转折点，想到前两天转史景迁说的criticism，这种针砭时弊的创作，虽然不像《忧郁症》深邃，但胜在五光十色，以真摄影棚反射现实的“摄影棚性”。演员和春晚一般刻板印象尽出，倒也亲切，小李是用呼吸传情的人，这点被用得很有层次，大表姐自带的委屈感，演出卡桑德拉式人物也正好。话说整部影片不就是“看得心累了，人类原地爆炸吧”……
年年 did it earlier and better :)
