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.
真实事件改编，有理有据，节奏控制有度，翻转到位，稍微遗憾是故事太套路，基本还是传统的韩国套路。
🇰🇷真的属于一边讽刺财阀，一边拿着财阀的💰拍电影。。。但不得不说嘲讽和真实，🇰🇷电影真的可以！
過程是滿平淡的，但為了結局震撼到起了雞皮疙瘩給5⭐~
虽然同作者不如再也写不出素媛这样的神作，但他一直在坚持他的坚持
电影值三星，多一星给题材。虽然说结局是相对好的，但是看完电影反而对韩国社会更加失去信心，如果副手的妻子没有受到杀菌剂影响，结局会不会改写？
依旧是骇人听闻的事件！但拍的毫无张力，结尾更是硬反转，真实事件也这样吗？不如转成纪录片更好一点。
社交恐惧症不是太明显，但为了融入让别人喜欢去撒谎，真的有些共情。但是最后能被原谅，是跟信佛有关吗？
有点为韩国的这类剧情片感到可惜，你们有很多现成的素材，但是缺乏有想象力的好导演对这些素材进行再加工，只是原模原样地把这些素材直接端上来，这样我不如去看纪录片。
前边节奏有些慢，后边政治企业很真实、这就是现实社会。看完马上关闭加湿器～…
这还多亏了敌军中有我方卧底，不然还赢不了，跟日本那个水yu病比起来，这部拍得不够震撼，就受害人家属和公司间的冲突不够，就感觉急匆匆讲了这么个故事。
《空气杀人》韩/剧情/金相庆/李先彬/尹敬浩/徐英姬/
演员演技都基本在线，无奈剧情太弱，完全支撑不起来，反转也无力……算是浪费了100分钟。
看的是主播解说。感觉韩国的题材还是牛批的，居然还是真实事件改编，就更牛批了~
以及Pen Platt无论何时一张嘴都能唱得我一身鸡皮疙瘩
这个社会，普通人如何跟资本抗衡，如何跟权力抗衡，官商勾结时，普通人有没有活路。法律对于普通人而言根本没有公平性。考公不是为了服务人民，是为了铁饭碗。“为人民”三个字就是笑话。
能拍出来，能上映，能给大家看到 已经很好了
略可惜，很可能是因为疫情的原因，场景、背景相较韩国电影以往独具特色的熙熙攘攘大嗓门的烟火气，显得很单调。可能想拍出黑水的气质，但是以传统情感家庭为主线，那个冷调是很难控好的。想一想，按照韩国以往类似题材的拍法，可能会显得浮夸，刻意，甚至有煽情的感觉，但是也会比现在好。因为那种闹中取静的冷调，气氛烘足给你一刀的残酷，才最显韩国电影独有的悲剧美学，但现在反而单调了，总感觉骨架很好，但是不够丰满，撑不起来的感觉。
多么令人心碎的一个故事，多么令人感动的一个故事
真的好烂…为了看现场补的课，点开三次都没能看完
不太好看，但是蠢蠢的迟来正义还是看得人热血沸腾
