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".
2021年8月14日凌晨看完，在北京阿里实习的一个月后
小绢没有告诉小麦那朵花的名字，可是爱了四年的人已悄然生长为心底的一束花，在雨天、在文学电影音乐里和每一个曾与你一起的瞬间盛放。
2021年12月31号在北京去往大庆的高铁上和对象一起看的。如果是三年前的我，大概会心有戚戚焉，但现在这段关系里的我们，相同的爱好并不多，不过我们都十分乐在其中，所以对电影里的由相同爱好生发的爱情就没有太多共鸣了，毕竟，精神上的“门当户对”，哪有看看手帐聊聊电影就能了解通透的呢？只是电影里麦的“黑化”确实快得让我觉得唐突，来自社会的毒打，会这么迅速地改变一个人的生活态度吗？也许更多是为了剧情服务吧，两个人看重的东西不再一样，分道扬镳也只是时间问题了。
一如竟往地不明所以，软奇幻不为过，你说啥就是啥，无中生有，说来就来，神玄无疑。始终不能理解青少年拯救世界，宗教哲学层面得打个问号。又一部愚蠢的人类，非中二受众群莫属。
明日香整成了蛇精脸 爱好是不穿胸罩
【Great】没有鼓掌，也不是“你真恶心”，四分之一个世纪的停滞与轮回，终于三度迎来补完。从最开始单纯的商业企划，在随后的26年间成为了被创作者、观众与角色三方强行赋予形态的意识体。所以EVA唯有脱离其形态本身才有意义，故事的冲突在影像框架内部已无法终结。于是在这种创作思路下，《终》成为了所有人的意识投影，对过往作品的重复，是创作者们的思维囚笼，是观众的认知局限，也是角色们的西西弗斯之道。大白丽从手绘到CG的形象转变，劣质3D建模打斗下的特摄情结，摄影棚内对纪录片场景的观感再利用，以及最后真人影像的再度侵入。新剧场版是更加破碎的作品，但在最后的元世界中一切皆可被圆满解构。纵使庸俗与圆滑依然存在，但纠结真的毫无意义，我害怕再也看不到类似的影像神迹。
17 JUN 2021 (4-) 戲名+架純妹應該趕走唔少art house寶寶，兩粒鐘故仔橫跨2015-2020，戀人由偶遇、熱戀、共居、冷漠、裂痕、分手、重遇，貌似一般過唔一般的愛情片套路，但人家贏就贏左zoom到埋去大學(理想)到社會(現實)呢個gap度，再contextualize落去個文青脈絡深而化之。最好睇唔係佢地點樣miss左牯嶺街同男的睇郭利斯馬基訓左，而係果D小處細節流出黎，滾雪球咁越滾越大的失望︰慳錢只能飲7-11咖啡、對曾經常去的麵包店關門無感、見到你愛人去書店放棄左文學而走去睇self-help book。以大眾愛情片的劇本計，真係做到軟綿綿淚漣漣，值得參詳的地方無數。P.S. 有瀧內公美。望住架純妹，一念︰點解香港D女文青唔係金絲白面就係營養不良？
哪个（曾经的）文艺逼不喜欢这种报菜名电影呢？太多relatable的话题和瞬间，最后餐厅的镜像后劲太强
没想到爹tm这回被救赎了，大家都tm被救赎了，我有点感动，爹跟儿子说了，我杀神干啥其实都为了见你妈，为了再回到汝母身旁，爹还讲起了童年往事，爹从小只爱知识和钢琴，以为自己能一个人活下去，没想到遇到了你妈遇到了爱，爹再也不能一个人活了，没想到失去了你妈，爹折腾这么多回都是为了妈，爹跟儿子自白了，看着比儿子还完蛋，最后儿子救了大家，补完了一刚。
1995～2021 さようなら すべてのエヴァンゲリオン。有多少人和我一样一起见证了这场漫长的跳票之旅？从11年连海报都没有的条目到12年《Q》片尾的虚假撒必斯 再看着上映日期从13年一年年地推迟 期间等过了宫崎骏的《起风了》 细田守的《怪物之子》痞子自己的《哥斯拉》还有新海诚的《你的名字》如果可以这份名单还可以一直延续下去。但事到如今该是为一切画上句号了。さようなら、シンジ、レイ、アスカ、葛城、みんな。そして、ありがとう、すべてのエヴァンが伴っていた日々。最後に、さらば、すべてのエヴァンゲリオン。
结束也是开始的结束，分手也开心呀，很治愈的电影。分享一对耳机听歌，是各听各的而已；谈恋爱，是带着各自的东西，各谈各的而已。
本人目前生活状态以及恋爱经历，尽管才六个月但已经过完了人家四年的起承转合了，拍摄手法以及叙事风格也对我精准打击，在飞机起飞的那一刻，从虹桥T2一滴一滴眼泪哭到了首都T2，我本人不就是活脱一个有村架纯吗！（不是）
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）。
【3.5】正如标题的“花束”，前半段情节实在美好又甜蜜（投其所好般），可也注定会有枯萎的时刻。没什么新奇的东西，但也算尽力在情节剧范畴内做到了最好，创作者清楚知晓受众所需，因此主要涉及诸如流行元素、文化消费、对当下青年的观测，共同构成了本片的主要景观，因此实际来说，人物行为未必是重要的。认同和另一个自己恋爱不会有好结果的观点，只是过程一定非常愉快，或许这样已经足够？
开始于学生时代的恋情（看起来像是大学三年级或者四年级），前两年百般顺利，两人兴趣爱好都完全吻合。到了两人各自开始找工作之后，感情逐渐降至冰点，以至于三个月都没有一次性生活。感触之一：一段恋情能坚持5年，一份工作特么连一年都坚持不了（剧中的人物如此，现实中的我也是如此）。感触之二：谈恋爱我绝不将就，找工作我特么每天都在将就。如果对我这两条感触有所认同的话，这部电影的评分不应该是8.7分。 评分应该是9.7分。五星，强力推荐，不看后悔。
痞子尽可以这样拍，但我不接受结局。没人配得上明日香
在鹿儿岛看imax真开心，宇多田光的歌真好听。
日本版的Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight.
おやすみ、おはよう、ありがとう、さよなら。
