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".
翻来覆去看了好一阵也几乎看不出来这是妮可，呵呵。至于剧情本身嘛，呃，老太太的裹脚布，呵呵。不过，自带字幕倒是省事了
最后那一场戏还是很打动人的，也是nicole整部电影演的最好的一moment，那一瞬间一定所有人都想知道她在想什么，可惜，虽然我们都能感受到，但是我们却都说不出
他用行动证明了他就是I Love Lucy中的I 也用行动证明了他不是I Love Lucy中的I
结尾也太伤感了，看泪了。妮可基德曼，真有你的。
艾伦·索金编剧，拿的全是演员提名，没拿到编剧提名。本片的剧本也确实一言难尽，里面的人物塑造、剧情冲突以及议题的设置，浓缩在一周之内，依旧还是索金的水准，也因此让演员有了足够的发挥空间。但堆砌饿了如此多的议题，剧情臃肿无比，即使具体每一幕依旧优秀，但整体则平庸无比
剧本太长了，闪回没有必要。妮可演的很努力，但是她的戏被其他演员吃的七七八八。
你说她爱家吧，情节都是她们两公婆在为事业奋斗。你说她时间跨度不大吧，这导演还乱序回溯。总之就是乱七八糟
丈夫的那句“lucy,i'm home!”，让这个女强人出现了迟疑以及生平第一次“忘词”，真的是忘词吗，应该并不。
故事涉及很多时代背景下的大话题——女性、好莱坞行业规则、政治、种族——但整体格局死死地被制片厂那十几平方米的拍摄置景框死了；故事闪回没有帮助增色，反而感觉混乱。即便男女主给出的出色表演（尤其是最后一场戏），但电影整体还是蛮失望的。
传记绝大都挺闷的，这部勉强还能看的下去，主要是女主挺像我一位女领导，偏执的追求完美，让旁人压力巨大。不过与女主不同的是婚姻里我领导挺委曲求全，而女主对婚姻要求更刚更纯粹
大编剧导演还是比《贝尔法斯特》的那位大明星导演拍的好，可惜略显单一的调度思路让片子越看越乏味，最后连人物一张嘴都千篇一律了。
难看到爆啊半个小时都没看出趣味来虽然坚持看完了。情景喜剧的有趣展现基本只有5%。两个小时演喜剧人的一周vs一生也不是什么难题吧，怎么会搞得这么难看的？唯一让我没打下一星的理由只有妮可了，演技的确给人印象深刻——突出而有些做作。
Luccille，一个精明、有主见、理智的好莱坞女演员。
这女的所作所为,我一样都不喜欢！如果如她所言只是让"关心底层"的祖父高兴就在选民登记(?)上勾选共产党,那她确实是视民主政治为儿戏"没能力参与民主制"的白痴。"你猜我是谁?"之后那七八个人名,不是表示女主故意说错调戏男主吗?一直argue这个,她是没get到笑点吗？反正她深夜把同事们叫到影棚,贡献的那笑话真挺尬挺low。感觉不让女同事减肥,本质上还是不想有人跟她比美。作为连续剧演员突然怀孕,不应该像编剧们说声抱歉给你们添麻烦了吗?凭什么觉得天经地义,人家应该给你擦屁股？就算出轨,老公挽救了她的事业,甚至人生，这个时间点离婚...,行吧,你有这权力。
说难听点，没看完就有一种“这种片子根本没必要拍出来”的感觉，而且try too hard to be funny。感觉片子想讲三件事情，然后闪回来闪回去一件都没讲好，再穿插进那个年代好莱坞保守和性别歧视，就更是没重点了。针妮更是和巴登一点化学反应都没有，而且针妮真的要少打点针了，脸都完全动不了了。
这种闷对我而言就是欲盖弥彰，但盖不住的是滥用命题所致的空洞。
在具有挑战性的选角以及各种妆造带来的有些“惊悚”的对比面前，Aaron Sorkin上手将故事从欢笑之下的貌合神离以及传奇剧集之外的暗面窥视之外，拓宽为一幅关于电视文化以及剧史的多彩画卷。编剧室里对峙的作者们还有在性别交锋下被湮没与发现的声量，麦卡锡主义风暴，不同传媒形式的盛衰与时间变化…THE SHOW MUST GO ON. 它所营造的气质以及创造的视角足够有趣、引人入胜；也更能隆重地揭晓《我爱露西》本身的意义与符号性的出现。即使六十多年之后，这部剧依然为大多数人深爱着，敬仰着- -台前幕后的种种，早已注定了这部作品的不凡；笑声回荡的上空，亦是传奇将至的讯号。【Alia Shawkat！❥(^_-)】
22/1/1：相比变脸，妮可劳模式的接片是图啥？你已经蹭了个小金人了还想再拿一个嘛？角色选人不对，没啥看头了。
知道要拍什么，也大概知道想表达什么，但是真的拍的好无聊啊。妮可是不是真的选剧本的眼光有问题啊
很明显的女性主题，主要讲诉一位成功的职业女性通过一周时间在挽留职业生涯和婚姻而做的诸多方面的努力。影片做了很多的反差来表现尽管女主角的无力，比如尽管这个女主角在剧集制作过程中起到了很大的作者性，但是与投资方的交涉还得通过女主角的丈夫出面，比如她始终坚持修改情节来避免表现女性角色的愚蠢，但是观众却爱吃这套，而影片最精彩的就是结局的处理，先拍了一个光鲜亮丽的男性拯救，而后再接男性的背叛。整个影片后半段明显观感更好，就是整体处理得较为平淡。
