剧情介绍

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.

    没有炫技的镜头,没有跌宕起伏的剧情桥段,只是一个会议的记录和叙述,已经让人毛骨悚然、垂头沉思。

    非常精彩,年度最佳候选。编剧的台词功底令人折服,严谨到几乎滴水不漏。戏骨们飙戏飚的忘我,连续且毫无破绽的演出值得玩味。固定空间内纷繁登场、性格迥异的高官之间为争夺各自利益的唇枪舌战,不顾脸面厚颜无耻的讨价还价,小集团之间的相互拉扯与斗智斗勇。在100分钟内,电影将那场臭名昭著的「恶魔会议」铺平展开、逻辑清晰且高潮迭起,人物性格、时事进展、世界局势被一一呈现,酣畅痛快,淋漓尽致。观影之余不禁感慨,1100万犹太人的命运,仅由15个人,在短短的九十分钟内就做了决定。何等仓促,何等讽刺,何等残暴,何等悲凉。

    原评被删。补:人只是一个数字,你如何死去并不重要,重要的是,你该如何不浪费时间、空间,运力、财力、有秩序、合法地死去。一旦将人非人化,任何杀戮都变得合情合理。

    看这部电影的同时也想到了《波斯语课》,电影中的德国男人,绅士、挺拔,是好丈夫、好爸爸,是爱护德意志民族的好军官,在一场平静而短暂的会议中敲定着一千来万犹太人的命运。他们对于处理犹太人的方式存在争议,也只是关乎成本、结构、流程、时间、以及给德国士兵造成的心理阴影......

  • 莲桐 2小时前 :

    一个符合二战后流行文化规训的纳粹想象,但深入纳粹风暴的核心来解读最终解决方案的诞生、实施人类灭绝的屠刀落下,似乎有更好的视角和路径。这部只做到了忠实、准确和严谨的会议纪要。

    4/5 | 对一个正常社会而言,平庸之恶的出现当然百害而无一利。但对归附于不道德体制的个体而言,ta总能凭借体制赋予自身的他者化冷漠,形成某种程度的自圆其说,而解除个人在道德层面的反思。万湖会议某种意义上就是平庸之恶的集中反映和体现。
