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.
能感觉想学肯洛奇《风吹麦浪》 也能感觉没学好
我单纯为了这个电影的调色来看的，剧本就不探讨了..production也太差了，差到太影响感官我根本就不在乎这个电影讲了什么了。我还翘班来看的，我是为了什么，一颗星也不想给
感觉带东北两字的电影，都是这几个人在拍的了
感觉挺真诚的，没有那些恶俗和屎尿屁的情节，就是从头到尾没讲刘平安把他爸怎么了，中间致敬彩蛋太多了，不过整体不流畅，比如依依的病，两个人学英语，倒刀爷和他爸之间，赵大明白欠钱这些片段都感觉有点冗长
它带给我们一种希望，主旋律和艺术表达并不是水火不容。战争的真实感不是在于枪林弹雨，是缓慢的危险，是草丛中的蛇，是仓皇的逃跑或追逐，是悄无声息倒下的身躯，是给俘虏喂吃的，是在非人般的艰苦条件中选择云霄之上的信仰
想表现“相煎何太急”，但白匪不能洗白；想表现军令与人性的冲突，但我军军令决不能违背（也不能说有错或无情），禁锢与禁忌太多，所以拍成一副拧巴样子。镣铐还在脚上，给一条大河波浪宽加上再多斯坦尼康也拍不出什么新意，想象力就是这样被“自我审查”磨没的。
你说咱这气氛是不是像电影？就应该铺首《当年情》。
完成度蛮高，不过更出乎意料的是，现在美院电影团队这么能打，约等于一家不小规模的制片厂。
还不错啊，有喜有悲，虽然剧情设计反转在情理之内简单但是好玩啊，老爷子有点帅是怎么回事
结局有点拉，但是就网大来说整体还是挺不错的
说实在的，崔志佳不行干点别的吧，别在喜剧演员这块死磕了，四哥都比他强多了
整体来说挺扯淡的，东北风格，有笑点有泪点最后反转设计的也挺好，作为网大绝对够用了
仿照西虹市的套路，并没有那么多的炸笑点。并且孙越梁龙的乱入都显得有点突兀。
看了短视频介绍这“一斤俱乐部”才知道这个电影，之前腾讯视频的推荐一下子就跳过，确实难提起兴趣。但真正看完，确实是不错，最近看的我发现都是套路陈旧的，不过套路就是套路，话说回来，电影，或者商业电影可不就是按着套路来的么，按着套路来，要符合纲啊线啊的，还要拍的好，不容易。剩下能打动人挑动人的就是真实了。这个就是用真实，虽然荒诞但真实，虽然很多的不合理，但又真实，估计这就是现在流行说的那种东北魔幻现实主义吧，像老舅的野狼disco，像现在又开始很流行起来的东北文学。总之有搞笑有煽情，但都不太刻意，在现在的电影们里面，就算是很合格的一部了。夫复何求呢。一句“二手月季”四个字就足够撑起我自己看本片的笑点了。另外，里面那俩服完刑的年轻人找的挺好的，看着就像是狠的，但又是帅的。还有里面演最好的我觉得是刀爷
感觉带东北两字的电影，都是这几个人在拍的了
5.9分的豆瓣评分惊讶了了一下 看完觉得至少应该是及格分往上了 作为东北人 找到很多很熟悉的场景 让我想起我的一些好久没联系的亲戚 无声消失在已经行将就木的东北社会底层 这恐怕也是一曲送给东北往事的挽歌啊
7，算是主旋律之光了，非常具有学院派色彩的诗意战争影像探索，形式上学老塔基本学到八成，密林、迷雾、小船、芦苇荡、血雨、树上的蛇，甚至于保全部队还是誓死完成任务的战斗困境都是在影像气质上复刻《伊万的童年》，这条路六十年代李俊、崔巍他们已经批判性的走过一次了，当然跟前辈相比，国美这拨新生代试图在意识形态宣教和战争人性论的平衡上，略微向人性论这边倾斜一些，但限于主旋律的框架和并不是非常成熟的剧本，完成上还是差点意思。可视为主旋律电影在艺术探索的某种出路，特别是小成本战争片如何在有限成本下解决场面问题，电影给出了相当不错的解决方案。
不错，小崔挺有才。东北小镇，两代人的回忆。
牛硬朗真没发财的命，不管怎么说这彩票也应该买两张，中了等于没中
佳佳这自导自演的作品还可以，至少没有像之前东北喜剧电影那么闹腾
