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".
好可爱的夫妇。玛吉也太好了。。但我做不了，衣服洗好了俩小时了，也提醒了他四五次了，还没晾。气死了
老白太适合演这种高智商的大佬气质的狠人，开局总是委于现状干着普普通通的人民教师的工作～绝命毒师yyds

太多地方不能细究了，但是猫猫还是很可爱的，想把家里的主子升级一下。
皮克斯怎么也变得流水线了，不谈政治正确，故事本身很平庸，节奏前后撕裂很奇怪，居然还有让人无法理解的续集彩蛋。以后还能看到soul，coco，up这样的作品吗？（迪士尼真是害人不浅）
要富有激情地老去，不管多老，仍对生命富有激情。
難得的是，他們賺了錢之後，想到的不是悶聲發大財，而是將這個事情告訴家人、朋友、鄰居，乃至整個小鎮的人，讓大家一起賺錢，讓整個小鎮煥發生機。
轻松有爱的故事，虽然剧情平淡，但对于普通人来说，已经是一辈子的巅峰了。数学天赋发现彩票漏洞，并带动大家一起改变生活，重新为小镇注入活力。
《杰瑞和玛姬生活阔绰》在影片的一开头就简单阐述了杰瑞平凡普通的生活，杰瑞在工厂工作了42年之久，日子过得平淡如水，他将大部分的时间都投入在工厂和生产线，这一细节间接说明杰瑞对家人的忽视。该影片根据真实案例改编，讲述了杰瑞和玛姬发现了彩票的漏洞，从中赚取了一大笔的财富，更多的故事都是再讲“彩票”这件事对两位生活的改变，通过一件又一件的事情让我感受到，他们利用这个漏洞的目的不是为了钱，更多的是将此当作是一场人生的冒险，在影片的最后杰瑞找到了人生意义，重新回到了家庭。这部影片值得赞扬的是，并没有像我想象中一样，在获得一笔财富后没有挥霍无度，相反杰瑞在影片的最后才下定决心换了一辆车。唯一的缺点是片名与影片的主题有些偏离，但总体感觉还是不错的。
我以为是年龄大了所以冷漠了，所以看皮克斯动画没有共鸣，翻了一下评论好像是电影本身没有达到期待的水平
大卫弗兰克尔在2022 搞出inventing Anna 之后再一次化腐朽为神奇 从一个套路不能再套路的美国合家欢故事中玩出花来。。。。
不错的传记片，看来股东制还是有制度的优势哇。不上学拉来做劳工的哈佛大学学子作为另一派角色也不太行噢。
解说/和致胜女王的套路很像，老两口发现了彩票的漏洞，于是带动镇民一起赚钱，其间还对抗了哈佛富二代，成功逆袭的故事，当做喜剧来看应该还是不错的吧？没看画面
比较喜欢前半部电影 后半部彩票知识匮乏有点看不懂
难得十二点前下班，看的过程很欢乐，老白怎么看都高知，爱情好甜
知道是老白主演就超级期待，意外发现Chuck。毒师和律师的梦幻联动～见好就收，懂得分享真的很重要‼️有一个懂你的另一半事半功倍哦～
爱上一个人后一切都慢了下来。喜欢这个结局！ 21.12.16
暖暖地，淡淡地，偶有波澜，像一支雪茄，像一条小河，像一片绿林，善良闪亮，才华闪亮，爱情闪亮，真是一部美好的电影。学好数学太重要了，羡慕数学好的善良的人。
