Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
画风独特,色彩鲜明,很网飞化,亦真亦假的少年登月时代,导演怀念再也回不去的美国黄金时代so fucking American way
这是林克莱特的少年太空梦，更像是为了弥补当年因为睡着错过直播的遗憾，文艺男也可以这么可爱啊哈哈，他在梦中见证了这一历史性时刻…
三渲二吧？
不是一个靠激动人心的冒险故事驱动的电影，Stan幻想中的秘密登月计划只占了非常小的部分，全片都是在讲太空竞赛时期休斯顿郊区儿童丰富多彩的童年生活，喜不喜欢这部电影取决于你喜不喜欢怀旧，我看评论区有人说咱跟美国生活没共鸣，come on，大家都是从小孩子长大的，无论是跟朋友一起玩，还是周末看电视，总有一件两件事是联结我们所有人的吧？旁白娓娓道来理查德·林克莱特的美妙台词，像一部精彩的童年回忆录，我被深深迷住了
somehow ironic, somehow nihilistic, yet still beautiful and new
小时候做梦自己成为宇航员上天去，还有全家人一起看电视，一群小朋友一起玩……
各个社畜有各个社畜的童年
剧本一般，但是血淋淋地刻画了平民在战争中的渺小与乌东冲突的根源。在此顺便声明我对于俄乌冲突的看法 :俄罗斯并非共产主义国家，并非"同志"，其发动军事行动也旨在维护自身的利益，但是不可否认的是，乌克兰高层对于乌克兰武装力量中的纳粹成分不加清洗甚至大肆表彰，俄军并非"侵略者，而所有乌克兰纳粹都应该下地狱。"
好看的，个人蛮喜欢这种絮絮叨叨的说话方式，特别生动
描写2014年东乌地区冲突的电影。美丽如画的乌克兰大平原美景反衬着如同炼狱般悲惨恐怖的战争场面，让整个观影过程如同经历冰火两重天！战争，从来都不会使正常而富有正义的人们感到舒心愉悦，只会使他们在惊心动魄之余承受着巨大的苦难。它留下的是鲜血、是落寞、是毁于一旦的家园、更是永远无法弥补的伤痛……
如果发生在卢甘斯克的事情是真的话，那么乌克兰现在所遭受的一切就是它的报应。
怎么能有这么细心的团队呈现一部童年电影画册哇，实名羡慕了，不禁想起自己的童年。不管是60年代还是8090年代，都是充满生机勃勃和希望的，踏出的一小步，人类的一大步。
抛开政治因素，导演的主观意识形态不谈，虽然剪接不是很好但拍的依然不错，起码拍的比咱们好
本粉丝终于有时间看了。我是觉得不够看啦，如果能拍成剧集多好，现在是个儿童视角的带有休斯顿城市志性质的童年往事+美苏争霸回忆录。求RL拍个童年回忆录动画剧集吧！！
将童年大事件替换主角，构想一个亲身经历的登月体验，串联着黄金的少年时代。
〖6〗导演客观的将阿波罗登月编织重造为自身童年之梦，流水账式带观众复习一遍美国梦的崛起与强大，试图还原对历史事件某种程度上的见证，不是为了主观上追忆旧日美好，而是留给后来者的辩证示意，在悲观存在主义下没有人可以从历史进程中独立抽身，生命的个体必将不可避免被其无情裹挟，化为抔土。
乌克兰对乌东地区的暴行!快进看完。
片尾男孩眼神淡淡地见证着，在平静地注视中那是记忆回到童年，莫名的眷恋。
独立思考，不是什么都质疑。公开报道也有，只不过在美国北约世界鲜有报道。我认为一定要了解事件非的曲折，再做出你自己的判断。我看到一个一个视频，豆瓣上不敢发链接。但真的很残忍，对了前些时候联合国在就反对“美化新纳粹的协议”上，一百多个国家签字，有二个国家没有签字你猜到是谁来吗？…美国和乌克兰，可是为什么呢？去寻找一下答案，或是猜一下……
好多没有意义的战争，受伤的只是百姓。和平多好啊
