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.

    这是电影?这是ARPG的游戏啊!剧情单薄的几乎可以算成0,在城堡里一路过关打怪长级而已…

  • 国涵易 6小时前 :

    最惊讶的是导演以前是拍国内五毛网大的(此处五毛是真五毛),但是放在这部片子看似乎导演能力也不是很差。虽然动作设计也几乎没有,动作戏游戏感都很强,不过女性夺权这个主题贯彻的还是挺好。只是我以为迪士尼和hulu共同的项目,起码应该有一些像无敌2里吐槽公主的那些梗的实体化展示,结果也没有,就是一个b级血浆片的拍法而已。导演以前拍那些东西,起码应该做的cult一点也没做,唯一有点趣的是一个中世纪故事但是对城堡解构内饰的想象明显很东方,让人看出一种国内少儿科普书的感觉。(女二比女主有气质,还挺神似辛芷蕾)

    看预告就是公主不想被政治婚姻就武力逃婚的故事,当时觉得这剧本也意淫得太粗暴了。

  • 大馨蓉 5小时前 :

    我觉得这个公主的脾气不是一般的好,简直是本国第一高手,我觉得给他足够的时间才能把对手全部团灭。我还有一点就是故事里面对中国武术的固有印象好像还是没有能够跳脱

  • 刘晗玥 4小时前 :

    大喊大叫表演太用力太尬的真人韩国加勒比海盗动漫,其实情节还不错,被尬表演毁了。

  • 怡璟 3小时前 :

    尽管逻辑偶有不畅,制作也略显粗糙,但在银幕上看见独立自强、一路血战的公主形象也太惊喜了。

  • 平楷 1小时前 :

    轻松幽默的探险类电影 剧情都那样 演员还挺好的 情侣带孩子看 挺合适

  • 商妍芳 2小时前 :

    舍弃了任何背景介绍,或是提供至少可以寻找一点相吻合的时代线索;没有任何大场面,几乎都在室内建筑架设的场景里展开,简洁得都让人感到疑惑。公主两眼一睁开,不是打,就是闹。最开始的感觉以为会是《凯瑟琳大帝》的另类变种,在古装里塞下一些新鲜视角;又或者是纯正的打女型电影,为Joey King提供另重可能。但抗拒任何幽默甚至没留任何喘息空间的成片都让这两个预设没有发生,只留下数个潦草的场面;哪怕面对的是流媒体,这般成色也过于差劲。

  • 寿鹏鹍 6小时前 :

    作为搞笑冒险类型的电影它成功了一半,画面也是上乘,可惜剧情和剪辑太差
