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.
现实许多地点或情形见不到这种洞悉人性的小孩儿。
杰昆真的是有一种别样的魔力和演技，每一个电影角色都能独立成章又能在另一部电影里遥相呼应：前一秒我还感觉他会突然一个镜头切换成癫狂的小丑，下一秒看着他拿着麦克风自言自语又幻化成那个爱上AI的独居男人
Your typical nice looking, "heart warming" A24 flick...unrealistically precocious kid paired with confused middle-aged man and through turbulence and conflicts they gradually learn from each other and cherish the experience forever --- I have seen this one many times before. The "it's okay to yell, and then yelling out loud" scene in particular is soooo much of a cliche. Cinematography is alright but not really impressive, watching this back to back with Red Rocket the difference is so obvious (ok B&W is at disadvantage but still).The interview bits aren't integrated organically into the story, and it feels like the feel-good, "heartfelt" material got mixed in just for audience appeal.
全篇不拖泥带水，节奏也算紧凑。除了最后涩谷十字路口撑起大足球一如既往地柯学外，其余都做的蛮好。算是近几年最好的剧场版之一了。喜欢警校组必看，松田阵平真是永远的白月光。片尾琴爷一句会いたかったぜ、シェリー！真是想直接快进到明年了。老贼明年要是敢弄出崩坏我哀人设的剧情跟你没完。
虽然依旧柯学，但已经是近几年的剧场版里难得的故事完整，逻辑自恰，笑点泪点拿捏精准的合格作品了。
3.5 这两年描述这种真实的parenting故事好多，先谢谢不再浪漫化做父母这件事，但拿这部来比较，有点不痛不痒无伤大雅，最后就只想用一个cute来形容。 不过发现我真的很喜欢1.66 : 1画幅比.
故事情节经得起推敲，节奏也不错，最喜欢小兰
水准线上的电影吧，第一次在电影院看剧场版，确实有些惊艳了！灰常不错！安室真的真的超级帅，松田也很帅，过去的警察五人小组里的都好喜欢。喜欢跟着柯南破案，不用动脑子的开心～
演员太厉害了，自然到以为在看纪录片。城市从来没有这么美过。
热情，情绪化，神经敏感的大人和孩子。
美式小清新重构 黑白摄影很好 太多熟悉场景
not to be selfish, not to be bad, not to disrespect, and to have close feeling for your friends and parents.
另外今年新蘭跟高佐的放閃都很到位，特別是後者。
好温柔的电影。透过成人和孩童的不同视角去看待世界，理解彼此。人与人之间的连接终究是美好的。Joaquin的表演太自然了，他的台词都无比舒服~
2022/04/28 锦系町 Toho：第一次在日本看柯南剧场版，从98年到现在，历史性的一刻啊
仿佛是个哲人，不停说话，不停的谈论一个不可能的年纪的孩子会谈的事物。
2.关于母职惩罚那段值得思考。
总体来说就是无聊可以看但不会像最早的那几部一样反复看
这个译名也是过载了译者自己的文艺趣味。年轻时钟爱这类小情小调的片子，现在大概老狗逼了，对这种不痛不痒的东西爱不起来了，不懂这片子执着于黑白的必要性。以及，城市片还是比较爱伍迪·艾伦、索伦蒂诺的那些。
比如我们失眠我就不会忘。
