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.
每次看这个系列都是又笑又暖，这出太空歌剧的舞美真是一流中的战斗机。
Gunter的德国口音太逗，独爱Clay和Johnny线，很喜欢Clay影射U2主唱Bono的设定（而且竟然配音是Bono本人…）。没有爵士白鼠有点可惜。续作难拍，尤其本部基本没有原创歌曲，看得出制作团队想要求稳(快)，但好在的确很大程度上延续了第一部在立意和叙事上的精神设定。
歌曲及氛围5分，情节略差…算了反正我确实是来听歌的
在电影院看的。剧情是适合小孩子看的，可惜，我已经老了。
音乐的整体表现不如第一部，但u2铁粉不得不给这第二部打上至少四星，没法在影院听I still haven't found what i looking for真的有点伤。
舞台好漂亮哦！只是这次没有特别抓我心的曲子了
影片除了想我们介绍了上世纪六十年代泡菜的国政坛风云，也塑造了金徐两位亦师亦友的角色，如同《一代宗师》的宫羽田和丁连山一般，金云范是面子，负责把事做漂亮，徐昌大则是里子，兜着见不得人的污秽。
也太好看了，欢笑泪水，歌舞大秀，主题励志，满分💯
几乎不记得第一部的内容了，并不影响看第二部看得很开心，视觉创意很棒（特别是最后那部分音乐剧），音乐比较满，歌曲放置的都挺合适。剧情简单易懂，困难不虚假也没有太过现实，还是有过于理想化的内容（夜间清洁工几分钟之内上台形成千人背景、被惯坏的千金小姐立刻顶上绿怪兽角色等），各个角色都获得了自己的成长，挺好。//配音阵容很强
sing along 指路80min之后正式演出比较好看，被音乐感染有点泪目，前面都很无聊，也许是行业敏感，无法单纯投入，知道这个行业不是这么运作的。抛开理性，Moon这个角色一直懦弱，也和第一部不一样啊OOC啊，就很泄气，塑造最成功的角色是蜥蜴，被她逗得笑出声。U2主唱Bono一开嗓就认出来了，寡姐唱歌也好好听，蛋蛋的A Sky Full Of Star差点意思（发现自己稍微有点福瑞控？
每一次转场都让人无比焦虑，感叹时间太慢，所有角色原地打转似的撑时长
一场赏心悦目的SHOW ！蹦蹦跳跳欢欢乐乐~挺好的~令我不满意的地方还是有的，比如上部的二代好基友和高傲的老鼠去哪了？再有结尾太水了，非要设计一个反派感觉很牵强…小地方剧院到娱乐之都打拼挺好的~
故事太弱，冲突太小，第一部角色已经固化，惊喜少了很多，彻底沦为歌舞片。
水准之上，但故事略显疲软，克难和艰险是好莱坞流水线上的固定内容，所以没有多深刻，唯独各大角色依旧是亮点，不同动物的不同特性，蜥蜴婆婆，哈士奇父女和狮子摇滚王太生动了，梦想成真和舞台高光，情绪没法不被调动起来，B榜热歌此起彼伏，清唱合唱空灵酷劲儿交互，太振奋，如果在影院观看会是盛宴级别的享受，对比第一部，故事延续是生拉硬拽，但好声音的传递还是有梦幻编织的精神意义，你很难不被其触动。★★★☆
Worse than its predecessor.
还不如辅佐官好看呢，装逼没装起来的模样太辣眼了。
2.5 音乐与舞台加成，观感还算不错。不过相比于第一部，这一部选择用事件推动人物，弱化了对人物的刻画，是一种强行续集的投机取巧的做法。
看了一些影评，韩国人拍自己的历史真的太专业了，优秀的演员配上优秀的编剧加上导演，真的太让人感慨了，具体的看长影评吧，分析的太好了
阴谋不能见光，偏偏他不甘幕后。况且越往上走越要慎用阴谋，这也是他们决裂的原因。薛景求演技老辣，他太适合这个角色了。李善均还是差点意思。完全不闷。片尾的配乐好听
韩国导演都是这么勇，不怕死的吗？换在天朝，早就让你闭嘴或牢底坐穿了
