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".
8 one last kiss好听，然后da capo版beautiful world响起直接哭了啊，不管是好是烂，一切都结束了啊。
我的塞尔达也卡住了，但坂元裕二永远值得相信。
爱情，是努力伸出手也只能眼睁睁看着消失的东西啊
平成死宅寝取初代傲娇
还是错峰看了。作画无懈可击。大概是那种“学生时代暗恋的，也觉得对方很懂自己的酷怪男孩（或女孩）在毕业十年后同学会上（这里不讨论我为什么会去参加同学会这件事…）再见，对方变得成熟、温和、有分寸感，我有点失落、欣慰、也释然”的心情。
I love you more than you'll ever know
和我最近的生活完全地遥相呼应，坂元抓住的可能是现代爱情的最广义的纠结了，且给出了一个又轻松又平和的解答，真的好厉害。可是我仍忍不住在想，就不会再有更好的答案了吗？怎样也都会殊途同归吗？
整个3D绫波丽的脑袋，大红眼珠子瞪的跟tm俊雄似的，搁这致敬咒怨呢?
不谈情怀的说，《终》太迎合世俗的感受，大场面、大团圆、大段独白，前两个小时虽然舒服，但的确是太烂俗了，和之前的作品完全不搭调，一定程度上打了老粉丝的脸（虽然大家还是会给痞子辩护）。最后半个小时的蒙太奇、线稿、精神污染现实场景，算是找回了一点上世纪的感觉，但信息量过大，已经塞不下了，使得结局明显机械降神，源堂也比二十年前更像巨婴小丑。总的来说，痞子还是那么不负责任，以前报复观众还有点仪式感，现在是脑子都不愿意动了。新剧场版里面，最好的还是《破》。
一切故事的终结与终章//人很难跨过自己的十四岁 甚至可能永远被困在十四岁//成长的伪命题让我们不断承受痛苦忍受孤独//人类补完计划听上去还是很迷人 某种意义上//二十几年恍惚着 眨眨眼也就过去了//能不能有人来陪我咽下苦果 再尝一点美梦//最后一个吻了 我的爱人
我怀着恶意猜想，旧版EVA之所以让你封顶跟你缺钱是呈现正相关？因为没钱只能精简概括画面，不用做无用繁琐的画面和设计，反而多去做故事弥补画面的缺失造就了你？
20210629 1535 BC TW 不過不失 結局反而不錯
我横竖睡不着，仔细看了半夜，才从字缝里看出来，满本上都写着五个字“差不多得了"。挺好的，感觉庵野终于把自己解放了，fuck EVA and sayonara，老子做假面骑士和奥特曼去了
一开始以为是像鲜花一样美好，后来才明白电影名的意思是，花束般的美好也终究会有落败枯萎的一天。如果罗曼蒂克注定会在社会化中消亡，必是社会体系的问题。而社会体系终究由人建构，无论主动或被动一旦我们终究屈服，便成了帮凶。
他们谈着很多人都会谈的恋爱，吵着很多人都会吵的架，分了很多人都会分的手。后来你结婚了，你是觉得幸好当时分手了不然也坚持下来也不会比现在好，还是觉得当时为什么没有再坚持一下不然身边有她该多好？
2022年2月22日，正月22，星期2，2个人再加2个朋友，看了一部2个人谈恋爱又分手的2小时电影，成为我豆瓣标记的第1222部电影。然后在22点，终于问了他的想法（其实知道话一出口，可能就原地分手了）。
最后想说一句，我们什么时候才能拍出这样的爱情片。。。
不是，一个两个半小时的故事前一个半小时台词都没两句全在自闭（加上q的话自闭的时间更长）的主角看看时间不够了就突然支棱起来了噼里啪啦一顿操作依次把他爹和他三个暧昧对象（？）都超度了故事就结束了，这种剧情很合理吗？！！？啊？？庵野秀明搞了这么长的时间是都用在研究从十万个不同角度看香香的屁股上了吗？（没有说不想看香香屁股的意思）剑介的部分我作为香党反而觉得挺好的，剑介穿手指娃娃裙子安慰香香的那几秒我都哭了，送走渚薰的部分也不错，但结局的玛丽是怎么回事，这个女的到底谁啊我他妈忍她很多年了！！！！就非要结局给主角配平吗？谁都可以吗？你他妈在玩连连看吗啊？？？？？？
因为一直以来事业心都比较重 其实确实有时候会忽视爱人的感受
