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.

    以为将要迎来不真实的大圆满结局时不期然还是被提醒了现实的冷酷。两个小朋友太可爱,在院子的白墙上投自己的影子,在纸箱屋里画画,奔跑过巴黎空旷的街道又跑进植物园。原来 Martin 的饰演者就是导演,剧本是饰演 Claire 的 Lawrence Arné 和他共同创作,他俩还是生活伴侣。

    没玩过吃鸡,看电影才大致猜规则,但想起了20年前和一大帮朋友们在网吧打CS的岁月,非常热血刺激,打完在街边吃宵夜聊战绩。也是对一个城市最后的友情欢畅回忆。

    瞄了一眼,以为是国产军事片,特种突击队,类似红海行动一类的,自媒体一水的盛赞,没仔细看评论就打开了,事实证明我真是游戏绝缘体,怎么就没看出来这只是游戏场景呢。以后自媒体一水赞的真不能信了,这也就一及格上面的水平,一打游戏的屌丝逆袭的故事,你想到了啥,对,就是你想的,一点没有出溜的。大概点就是真人演绎游戏场景~~~~这算哪门子新奇吗,拜托~~~~~

    完成度挺高的,没想到能还原游戏这么完整,感情戏推进的还是有点瑕疵。

    轻喜剧,适合下饭时随便看看,里面那个神经质敏感的丈夫和疯狂的医生很搞笑

  • 梅涵 5小时前 :

    目前为止,最好的国产网络电影,也是最好的国产电竞电影。游戏场面高度还原,叙事流畅不拖沓,第三幕调动了几乎所有的视听和叙事手段,成功制造了情感上的燃点。虽然不玩儿手游,但也数次破防。

    片尾字幕好评,没想到神经质男人是导演,真够喜剧的。

    预期很低:网络电影出身,片名土,但是给了十足的惊喜和满足感。导演应该非常懂吃鸡游戏和游戏直播,不管是吃鸡梗还是直播梗都兼顾到了,全片最亮眼的桥段我认为是男主通过不断切载具、卡无敌时间一打多逆转的部分,导演在此处用了一个长镜头,不仅视觉效果惊人,也很好地展示了游戏特性。其次便是整段决赛最终局,先是用简单有效的方式塑造游戏内惊悚氛围,随后是一个相当不错的反转,之后便是场上和场外的策略对决,引起短暂的焦灼,最后在几位解说激昂接地气的解说词中开始平底锅对决,把气氛炒到了高潮,观众也爽到了高潮。更不用提其他小细节了。也是因为成本问题,游戏部分cos有点重但是拍得极为精彩,实景戏完全是在青岛街头拍摄,反而相当亲切接地气。不过文戏真的有点套路啊,工具人明显,整个故事立足点很虚,难以信服。再接再厉吧!

    故事差点,但是不耽误情节好笑,最后结尾突兀点,但是不耽误眼泪哗啦哗啦往下掉。新冠是时代的痛,只能寄希望于L'humanité solidaire了…
