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".
歌是真好听，剧情后半部分就开始扯了，一看编剧大河内一楼🌝，懂了
依旧是平庸和天赋间的冲突，因为天赋高因此被寄予厚望，因为平凡因此被贬低嘲笑；似乎在每个角色和地位上的人都会遇到不同层级的压力和失落。动漫的前半段优于后半段，尤其是歌曲的部分。
在吉浦康裕所构想的现代社会中浸润于人的生活环境当中的AI，其存在感却不超过天空之城中生着铁锈的远古机械，因此令高潮失去了所有对峙的强度，令被诗音「拜托」过的AI们完全退化为舞台道具。沉迷于AI与爱的语义转换的日本创作者，在他们手中诞生的AI如同本作标题一样，仅仅是爱的同义语而已。
校园恋爱喜剧，老套了点关于ai和人的故事。
原声带倒是还行，这也是迪士尼动画的特点，一言不合就唱歌。
一开始还疑惑就这样的人工智能怎么可能不被发现，直到真相揭晓，原来是一个感人的故事。
miracle don't make us, we make miracle
依旧是平庸和天赋间的冲突，因为天赋高因此被寄予厚望，因为平凡因此被贬低嘲笑；似乎在每个角色和地位上的人都会遇到不同层级的压力和失落。动漫的前半段优于后半段，尤其是歌曲的部分。
7分，去年的《寻龙传说》剧情我很喜欢，但迪士尼女主不唱歌跳舞总觉得少了点什么，这部虽然剧情不能细想，歌舞倒是量大管饱，最喜欢伊莎追寻自我遍地生草的那段，有迪士尼公主片的feel了。
平平淡淡普普通通，没有什么未来感，知道shion是小时候的AI的时候是挺感动的
这部有点类似龙与雀斑公主的设定，探讨了人类与ai共存的问题，以及ai是否该具有人类的情感。意外的好看。整部也是像诗音单人的音乐剧一样。最后无论是亲情还是爱情都比较圆满，ai事业也可以照常发展！不错的片子。多年前被创造出的ai有了人类的意识，进入到诗音之中。而诗音真的能带给人幸福呢。
也就是说即便是到了4044年也还是男尊女卑的社会咯
亲情主题的电影，但是相较于迪士尼之前的作品，这次的叙述方法有点生硬；歌曲好听，颜色好看。
有点失望。与奶奶的和解，接纳自己的普通，剧本太普通，全片没有亮点。
画风好看！剧情一般，但是友情还是挺感人的，最感人的是AI能够将自己的记忆备份，结果记忆里全是悟美的成长的点点滴滴，呜呜感人！以及，青梅竹马必在一起的定律，还是让人觉得“我又相信爱情啦”哈哈哈哈
女主会吟唱魔法啊，你们怎么会觉得她没有魔法呢！本片就像是一则强人政治寓言，女主从一开始的被冷落，不被看好，到游说家族内部各股势力，经历一场动荡之后，完成政权轮替与交接。可惜当地社群的统治权力，仍在女主家庭内部流转。她会是下一个LDH吗？
情节乏善可陈。
奇迹，就是你自己。歌真的是好听，非常非常迪士尼。
Outcast 这种主题本来挺好，可是没用合理展开。一下子和好也挺扯的
看的时候就在脑补舞台版了，这要用多少大景片小机关，带动多少舞美师就业，好想在宽街看这个戏，好想在迪士尼乐园玩这个项目，浸没式跑酷可以有啊！
