剧情介绍

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.

    最大的问题在于,这十年里所有忘掉疾病留下的美好印记都用mv式的剪辑过掉了,最后给出的理由却是“因为你所以让我拥有了活着的感觉”,这比坂口的表演还无法令人信服。如果说小松菜奈还在努力让我以为她真的只剩十年生命,那在坂口的眼睛里根本找不到那么深刻爱的证据。只剩狡猾的剧本,在最后投出所有的催泪弹

    “以小孩之名,讲述大人的故事”这是我看完电影后脑子里浮现的第一个想法。这是我第一次观看绘本电影,七章不同风格不同内容的故事,好像有魔法一样,很容易就能把人拉回童话世界里。置身于绘本世界中,为小兔子,公交车司机,蒯伯伯,火车小男孩,蓝铁皮箱轮椅的外婆等等角色感动落泪,这不只是一部动画电影,更是人生常态。看似给小孩看,实则是讲给大人听的故事。我们匆匆忙忙长大,一不小心就错过了、忽略了自己成长的世界。

    妈呀,我就是河南郏县人,看外婆的铁皮柜轮椅直接哭成了狗。真的,那地道的方言一出,蝉鸣、玩弹珠、麦秸垛、院子里乘凉,所有关于童年的回忆瞬间涌上了心头。在我小时候,爹娘常常因为忙着种地收庄稼,就把我送到外婆家。那时候跟外婆可亲了,反倒是后来上学、工作、去外地,和外婆的见面越来越少了。可当外婆离开的时候,我发现自己哭得撕心裂肺,树欲静而风不止,人只有当失去的时候才发现很多东西的珍贵。

    前40min节奏很舒服。山田裕贵妆造不错。真部下定决心、茉莉暴食大哭都缺少铺垫。茉莉靠在妈妈身上哭的戏小松完成得很好。抢救失败会比握手睁眼要好。

    剧本一般,框架命题里中规中矩的表达,但导演和演员真的一骑绝尘,不靠戏剧技巧完全是情感和氛围打动人。 未实现的梦,对生的渴望,对死的无力。 其实是一个非常有性格的女主,只是现在非常白描的拍法没有呈现太多。
