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.
人间最是伤心处，只余新人哭旧坟，所以，请不要忘记那些曾经的悲剧，请记住那些危害过民众的企业，他们不值得被原谅，
怎么说呢，就是非常韩国，非常商业，非常套路，但还是会被感动，一方面是因为这是真实事件改编，一方面是韩国这种本身充满黑幕的国家，影视行业却总是敢于挑战揭露很多我们这里同样多不胜数却不能说的东西，从这一点来说，只说这一点的话，目前韩国商业类型片电影确实比我们要弹性更大，所以我们总会在韩国电影电视剧里看到类型片的爆款，而不像我们只会在大红大专的题材上才能爆（那些所谓都市现实题材的剧绝大多数我都觉得很傻逼）
故事本身的立意很好，但是电影版拍摄手法实在是让人看得尴尬……突然唱歌（甚至有些地方并不好听）真的不适合放在电影里，结尾也挺突兀的。或许音乐剧原版的会更好吧
20211204.没有看过音乐剧，Evan一开头就被感动到流泪了。之前就是被预告感动到来看的电影。剧情后期有点逻辑上违和感整体还是挺不错的。connor怎么可以这么帅！图书馆那段场景转换的唱跳太精彩了。
根据大韩民国真人真事改编，题材还是蛮震撼的。
是一部不喜欢的人完全看不下去但是喜欢的人一秒都不会错过的作品。没能在百老汇看到Ben Platt卡司的音乐剧有些遗憾，好在还有电影，学校免费提前点映真的超赞！只能说大本真的太会演太会唱了，到后面全场男生女生都在此起彼伏地抽鼻子，每一位演员的感染力都太足了。Connor妈妈真的每次都让我破防🥲当然剧也有不足的地方，有些场景对话节奏实在太慢了，会让人觉得无聊（虽然我不hhh）。真的好喜欢，是我的人生作品了，所以虽然电影不完美但我还是给五分。不可能每个人都喜欢DEH，但和他有共鸣的人绝对会爱死🤩开场前和几位producer有个简单的zoom session，彩蛋是Zoey房间墙上的照片是导演一个个从他好友列表存下来的照片哈哈哈～
每一个惊天大新闻的背后，其实都隐藏了很多人的努力，这些东西除非意外被发现，不然可能是要付出很大的代价才能被揭露出来。
虽然看了一下剧情，很多在呼唤官摄，但没看过剧的我，看完电影还是挺感动的，可惜的是，Coner生前和家人相处的细节，都是口述的，加上看的是无字幕生肉（我的错，求轻拍，上映会去还影票的😣），就会觉得不够丰满。但是，歌还是超级好听的。
立意蛮好 故事节奏有点慢 但整体还是可看的 演员演技也都还可以
所以，腐败的，到底是体制、还是人本身呢？ps：配乐和节奏真的是不错！单纯就看完当下的观感体验来说，7分以下是不是给的太低了？
导演真不咋地 不会导啊 没用的镜头一堆…推进故事的手法很烂…演员的演技也跟着变得很笨拙…
可能是星际旅行了，但在tiff全球首映前一个星期在学校已经看了，写了评分又觉得不妥删去，糟糕的电影改编，不太想为它打更多字，今天tiff首映了来补个分。
就冲人家能拍出来，自己人拍不出来，我就能给五星，因为现实永远比电影黑暗
以前看过这个新闻，说实话有些惊讶，只因为空气无影无形使得人忽略它的重要性，可根本的原因是消费者对政府及产品广告的信任，资本可以拍拍屁股走人，人却没有复生的机会，政府可以当甩手掌柜，那谁来为弱势群体主持公道？
各种所谓的反转满满的都是套路，没有新意，作为棒子的戏这个也就在及格线上下！
还蛮差劲的，主要是无法代入感情，所以结局再怎么煽情，都觉得一般般。
每个人看过才会有自己的体会，对于我来说是十分难得的治愈旅程
因为韩国比较擅长这类电影，所以要求就稍微高一点，剧本还能写得更好，男主角和老婆孩子之间的铺垫如果能再生活化，共鸣感和代入感就会更强，另一方面反面人物有点脸谱化，坏人把坏人两个字写在脸上，就会肤浅了，明明选角不差，剧本没把演员的优势发挥出来。
中规中矩，听过很多up解说过这件事，艺术加工过的内容自然没有事实具有冲击力。
以及Pen Platt无论何时一张嘴都能唱得我一身鸡皮疙瘩
