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".
什么叫“平凡人的故事”？？尴尬又中二的台词，悬浮而没逻辑的剧情，动机浅薄且莫名其妙的人物。那些为实现一个梦想 把功夫从小练到大的人们，现实中有多艰难 这些主角成功就有多简单！全靠作弊、喊口号、摆光环，赛制根本没点规矩。最后那个自以为是点睛之笔的，也不尊重传统文化纯属装b。热血？我只觉得愤怒又无语😓
看得我热泪盈眶，感慨万千。
“杰伊比姆”是“比姆万岁”的意思，这是印度人民为纪念一位伟大种族平权者而流传的一句口号，此人是比姆拉奥，他出身卑贱，他一生都在为提升“贱民”的社会地位而做斗争，推动并主持印度独立后第一部宪法的制定，构建了印度宪法的基本原则，被誉为“宪法之父”。电影以暴露95年印度一个被冤枉在监狱致死的罪犯为背景，律师最后申冤看出来了印度的制度
台詞極其低幼，情節極其套路——對五條人歌曲的大量運用，不過是借用一點廣東縣城的感覺，五條人同影片直露傳達的好鬥進取、艱苦創業進而逆天改命的理念不說截然相反，也可以說毫無關聯。當然，結尾對跳最高樁的結果和植物人父親醒來的表達收了一下、顯得模糊，彩蛋則顯示舞獅並未真正改變主人公打工人的命運，約可讓人善意地理解整部影片的正能量或許未必完全出自編導的自由意志。此外，暫且不論廣東社會的實況究竟如何，影片的表達對於女性可謂極度不友善：社會和舞獅行業堵死了女性的上升空間，技能再高超也僅可充當花瓶並早早退居二線；男性舞獅明星則將中年後的泯然眾人歸咎於以妻子為唯一代表的回歸家庭和事業的壓力，其重整旗鼓則建立在女性痛徹心扉的“悔悟”及全然擔下他的那份家庭責任的前提下。2021年12月4日14:30於太古倉3號廳，點映。
那么，你到底是黑暗，或是在黑暗中等待光，还是做一束照亮黑暗的光！
很高兴有这样一部无IP原创国产动画电影，而它在呼喊梦想这个古老命题时又如此兼具现实性。
超乎预期，2021年院线最佳，本质框架上是一个咸鱼翻身，屌丝逆袭的星爷式励志故事，从故事方面来看，其实上并没有更多值得评价的地方。但它确实包装得很完美，建模场景还原真实，聚焦留守乡村少年，广府传统的舞狮文化接地气式还原，如果你是广东的影迷朋友，相信能够更明白我提到的这些点。其实我难以理解这样的好电影为什么在春节档 暑假档没有一席之地呢？不知道哪吒 孙悟空 姜子牙还能消费多久，多来几部像雄狮少年的国产动画不香吗？
技术没的说了，情感和人物也都没拖后腿，送去奥斯卡没准真能搏一搏呢……
当导演想在现实情况和电影艺术表达中寻求一个平衡的时候，一切悲怆的情绪爆发，一个英雄般的人物诞生，这个电影就感性了。#8.0分#
（三星半）它的现实意义比电影本身重要得多，在解决问题之前最重要的是正视问题本身。
我国的年轻人都喜欢自嘲，称自己为屌丝，让自己躺平。我国的ZF都喜欢自擂，称自己文化自信，赞自己和谐文明。但电影审批权在ZF手里，所以我们看不到《杰伊.比姆》这样的片子，虽然这样的事情真实发生过/着
1、女孩子的梦想要靠男去实现。女阿娟：我爸妈不让我舞狮，我本希望能在第六届舞狮大赛上看到一个和我一样名字的少年；2、阿珍靠卖咸鱼送咸鱼去实现咸鱼强舞狮的梦想，为了男甘于奉献；3、男阿娟：妈妈，你在家好好照顾爸爸和爷爷，赚钱的事就靠我了 等等。自己做个记录
粤语版加舞狮yyds啊啊啊啊啊啊啊
我们惊叹电影真敢拍的时候，现实却比电影残酷得多
中规中矩。虽然小人物对抗强权的剧情很容易引起观众的共情，但整体没有特别出彩的地方，几段歌曲的插入也破坏了叙事连贯性，法庭戏也基本处在我方王者，对方青铜的状态上，没有营造过多的紧张感。
世上只有一種英雄主義，就是在認清生活真相以後，依然熱愛生活。（這是一部好幾次哽住喉嚨。卻又不敢流淚的電影，粵語版好好睇）
我看到了今年电影院里最荒唐的一幕——开着豪车的女生对一天打八份工、并且还要赡养病重父亲的男主说，你要坚持自己的梦想。这种震撼绝不亚于白岩松说的那句“不会吧”！还有，国漫能不能别在贩卖“成功学”了，如果成功那么简单，那为什么我们的生活还是那么操蛋呢？
即使是对雄狮一无所知的观众，都能够与主角迅速建立起情感上的联系，因为主创很巧妙的布置让每个观众都能透过这只雄狮看到自己心中的那份不屈，就好比“我命由我不由天”，没有使电影的受众局限在动画与传统文化爱好者这么小众的范围。若是师父师母的支线能再花些笔墨做一些细化，当前已经强而密的情感冲击或许还能得到进一步强化。尤其是第三幕的故事编排，所有的元素细节都被安置在了再合适不过的位置，不是一股脑热无节制地追求情绪宣泄，却也能让观众从中寻找到无穷的精神力量并得到巨大的情感释放。不是最好最完美的电影，却是当下最珍贵的那类作品。
但缺点也不少。第一，前半程的节奏、调度、笑料都很混乱而且不搭，导演可能像狮子一样还没睡醒。第二，配乐和插曲十分泛滥，而且风格互相不搭，煽情意图明显。鼓点配乐应该是借鉴了《犬之岛》。第三，作为底层悲催男主角性驱力的富家清纯女这个设定非常败笔。【广百金逸】
至于麽，真的至于麽。
