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.
casting is okay but story is so blurred, could find some hidden sparkles but main line is not obvious, make people kinda lost about what it tried to convey
主题不错，但是从剧情创意和情感表达上要弱于月球和新恐龙两部，但个人觉得比伴你同行两部要好。不要抱太大期待，就可以来品尝老配方啦！新主角的颜值确实要比之前几部差，光头加刘海儿的造型确实有点难扛。同时，静香出场时镜头从下向上拍，并且洗两次澡，这是什么恶趣味操作？（剧场版不同于TV版的一个地方就是，静香才不是大雄的“女神”而是并肩作战的顽强伙伴！）最喜欢的地方是笨蛋大雄对天才外星领袖说：“虽然我不像你 笨手笨脚的 脑子也不好使 但总有一件事是你做不到而我能做到的 所以 让我来和你一起分担。”
要不是六一无处去，也不会陪女儿来看这个电影。好在女儿看完了，我在一旁无聊的抠脚。
就影片整体而言非常平庸，所呈现的时代感算是为数不多的亮点。对劳模姐来说这个造型真是反差到挺看不出来的，她的表演也配得上这部奥系女主片其他闲杂人等的陪衬，明天就看是劳模还是骚潘喜提影后了。
劳模姐太拼了，演的不错，但这届奥斯卡整体水准很平。而且这种传记电影毕竟会对情节有所取舍，为拿奖而拍，看过就行了。倒是“金并”很显眼。
Jess提名边缘想必也和这片子质量有很大关系 老实说是真的不怎么好看 基本就看Jess在演了/嘻嘻 虽然水片子但是Jess拿影后毫无争议 哪些路人甲总在说之前演得好哦 之前演得确实好但也不见你们给颁个奖哦孝鼠
可以与教皇奥利十世媲美，塔米·菲也是一个虔诚基督徒同时又是一个超级享乐主义者。她和她的丈夫吉姆——男女通吃的骗子，两人创办的电视台在基督教世界里无线风光二十年，一时无两。
以復古、誇張，表現著他們的貪婪、虛偽，試圖去觸及諸多議題，都只是匆匆一掃而過，反而削弱了最關鍵的女性主義的表達，一度讓我想到Tim Burton那部失敗的《大眼睛》。Jessica Chastain的表演讓人夢回《相助》，當然這一回的角色更加複雜，她的表演也更加成熟和有層次，尤其是老年部分的演繹，完全沒有她本人的影子。
妆发的确值得拿奖。女主作为一个神婆，她为了自洽宁愿陷入宗教的深渊，而现代的电视传媒带来的流行文化消费主义只会让她越陷越深丧失本来的真我。同样是信仰者，我反而觉得女主母亲才是相对清醒的那个。完全不能理解这个文化背景，但是她为少数族群发声这一点但是能get到一点点。p.s.本电影搭配《娱乐至死》第八章观看效果更佳。
我给4星也是满满的偏爱滤镜在里面。
电影很一般，但是劳模姐这表演真的挺牛的，难度也非常大，奥斯卡影后候选了。
化妆确实厉害，但平铺直叙的流水账。杰西卡·查斯坦很能演，无奈女主人公实在不讨喜，一直捏着嗓子说话，还总假笑，整日打了鸡血一样亢奋，年轻时两夫妻一开口必引用圣经，让人想起说话三句不离红宝书的年代，很搞笑。之后装神贩卖焦虑靠大众捐钱过上富豪生活，似乎传销或诈骗，结局被人设计，真活该，而年老后纹了一脸舞台妆，跟鬼一样。。。迷惑：1.美国人民怎会迷这样的人？！2.唱歌的声音挺好，为何一说话就变鸡嗓。
85年到22年，几十载春秋过，不变的是将军对黄土地的爱。
随着好莱坞的传记片热潮质量越来越低，像这种走马观花毫无感情的利用人物来表达自己政治正确观念的猴戏电影到底有多少意义？一边在片子里写Jim利用Tammy出轨的悔恨大捞特捞，一边拍了"我相当正确"的电影来想名利双收，这两者间到底有多少区别？
单纯的三星给劳模姐的表演，以及她的敬业精神
围观一下新科奥斯卡影后的表演。电影就是那种奔着奖去的片子啊，里外都是生意。然后这一届好多人唱歌啊hhhh
传统宗教价值观与电视产业迅速发展的扭曲结合，生下的当代资本主义怪胎。Chastain似乎也为主角带来了多一点的女性视角。本来很疑惑为什么是搭配加菲，后来发现只是利用形象而已。
看到中间的时候昏昏欲睡感觉不是我起太早的原因，但胡子男这单倒是蛮好听
很程式化的美国梦人物的崛起与陨落故事，杰西卡查斯坦的妆容和表演很有说服力，安德鲁加菲尔德自带一种天真喜气，两人校园恋爱虽然短暂，但是控制不住的喜悦和吸引确实很甜，找到灵魂伴侣的他们，渐渐在成功的事业中迷失，最根本的是gay老公的欺骗，让同妻塔米走向了崩坏，最终在舞台上找回自我，她最后一曲不仅感动了自己也感动了我。多荒谬可笑，只要一口咬定坚决相信，总会变成救赎的力量。
一个女明星，本不长这样，却动手抢其他外形稍逊的胖女人的角色，把自己脸型贴成这样，极尽用力过猛之能事，拍这种showy但又臭又长完全不知所云的好粉丝类glamorous传记电影，就是为了骗那尊小像。之前有某位影后也有这种化妆抢胖子角色的新闻好在后来角色又交回胖姐儿手里人家获得了认可。没想到这种事会发生在自己喜欢的演员身上，制片的还是她自己鼓吹“为更多各色少数群体/女性提供平台”的公司。我只感觉虚伪与羞耻。【qrbt之王龟头小二真的不能看了，已产生生理不适，口区
