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".
为什么会选择性无视突兀的歌舞和转场，还有一塌糊涂的剪辑节奏，时长？
小时候励志想做漫画家，想起小学那会每天放学都会去二手书店花1块钱买一本蜡笔小新的漫画书，回家躲在被窝里看，慢慢积累看了很多被小新影响了，自己简易画了一些小新的同人漫画在班里面给同学们传着看，看着大家开心的样子很有成就感。如今已经30了，做了一份跟漫画无关的工作，回想当初，可能这就是青春吧~
#2022.12#虽然依旧忍受不了印度电影的歌舞，不过好在这次没有舞了…选材完胜，这才是电影该有的样子，不知道在生活的土壤是否还能看到，还是越来越红呢？影片还是有一些反转，看的直呼过瘾，为最低下的人民感到悲哀同时又为他们在影片中的所作所为，不被黑恶侵蚀而骄傲
揭露了半天屁用都没有 低种姓贱民命如草芥的现状也没有得到什么改变 而且神勇律师给自己加戏太多了 印度的许多社会新闻都让人怀疑穿越到了1000年前
本来挺多问题，看完了解了一下原型，发现本尊比电影里拍得还要牛逼，一直都尽全力在确保公平公正的同时保护弱势群体的权利，也听说电影拍完后导演和主演貌似都受到人身威胁。第一次知道连低种姓都不如的部落人，部落原型被冠以“盗贼”“强盗”的污名，想来电影里的“罪犯有种姓制度、金钱和权力做后盾，但是受害者呢，我们（律师）就是他们的一切。”也不算夸张，人们高呼比姆万岁的时候，呼唤的并不仅仅是这个人，而是某种精神。是爱，是数百万人的眼泪，是希望。
真的非常好看！！！因为温柔的风间，还有可爱的小新他们！
印度版的《辩护人》之感，不过就故事剧情、思想深度…等而言，个人感觉韩国电影《辩护人》比这部《杰伊·比姆》更胜一筹。—— -如果你同意的话，我会和那些警察谈谈，补偿给你需要的钱。为了孩子们的未来，你需要钱，你需要做出决定。-还没出生的婴儿，我不能给他看亲生父亲，但我却会有很多钱，购买我要养活孩子们的食物？如果他们问起，买食物的钱是怎么来的？“是把你爸爸活活打死的人送的，我们需要这样子生存。” 长官，我要这样教育我的孩子吗？当我们被杀的时候没有人在乎，我们也不会靠从凶手那里获得的救济金生活。我不在乎我输了这个案件，我可以骄傲地告诉孩子们，虽然失败了，但我们没有放弃抗争。如果你可以，就去惩罚那些凶手警察。
酸酸甜甜的恋爱，浓烈的友情，数不清的梦想。
大千世界无奇不有，这大概就是民国时期的感觉吧……
5.教育是一个国家的根本和未来，印度虽然有保护人权，反对种姓歧视的种种法律，你不知道如何维护自己的权力都是白搭！
也是很有教育意义的一部片子了，不仅看到了对功利的精英培养的讽刺，更看到了风间对小新是真爱呀～哟吼～
反精英，反内卷，让孩子自由而健康的成长，这次活泼可爱而又略带咸湿的小新又做到了。第一次带妹妹看小新，她笑得好开心，因为小新会跳屁屁舞啊[呲牙]
地狱空荡荡，魔鬼在人间。不是每一次的伸张正义我们都要当史诗一样去歌颂，但是每一次以个体对抗体制的勇气都会让我们感觉心潮澎湃，用良心去追案，用良心去拍电影，也许人间还值得！
男人娶了个有骨气的妻子，女人嫁了个有骨气的丈夫，最后她也没有放弃他，而他也真的为她盖了房子……表面上杰伊比姆是这个电影的主角，但更让人内心汹涌的是女主，她没有任何背景可以支持自己去对抗权威，但她却没有害怕，也没有受诱惑，无数个节点她都可能放弃而撤诉，但她没有。正因为她，这个案件得以存在，让我们看到了人性最原始却也最耀眼的光辉。
居然还不错哎 第一次完整看完蜡笔小新的电影版 实际上剧集也没怎么看过 发现野原新之助同学真的某种意义上很成熟呢 友情亲情爱情社会元素去轮番出现 再加上屁屁搞笑 还挺有趣的（和珊和大家
除开现实意义外，电影本身也是相当成熟完整，各方面都做得非常棒，160分钟叙事无断层，金句很多。
所以，这是一场为底层百姓发声、为人权而战的伟大斗争！
这就是好电影了吗？
一部绝望与希望交织的电影。
这个人权律师居然没有人敢杀他。。。 或者说做过没成功吧。
