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.
为什么老是扫别人的兴
就这？威尔史密斯靠这部得奖，跟当年桑德拉布洛克靠弱点得奖，有啥区别吗？都不是职业生涯中最展现演技的作品，只是对多年工作的一个奖励罢了！看来对于很多好莱坞演员来说，他们的演技也只能寄托内部排排坐食果果的奥斯卡了，欧洲三大或是再专业一点的奖是没指望了！一个普信男，靠着老婆的基因、老婆没日没夜地打工挣钱、纠正小女儿的错误打球法，最后换来的一句却是，没有我，你和你那三个没爸爸的女儿还住在贫民窟呢！啊！男人总是知道如何伤害女人！女儿成功了，做父亲的怎么吹牛逼都有人愿意听愿意信呢，可是女人不生孩子，他屁都没有，还78页的计划呢！很好奇原始剧本是什么样的，如果这就是原始剧本的话，我确实没看出剧本黑名单的特质呢！2021年了，好莱坞居然更爹系了！这个世上有无爹，对女性和孩子，都是一种摧残呢！
真是服了
我还蛮喜欢的励志燃情，《打网球吧，爸爸！》史皇很稳定。稳定也是一种退步吧？
太热血，太感动了，好的家庭教育真的很重要，即使最后没能成为世界第一，也不会碌碌无为
有威爾史密斯在，整部片就像服了定心丸一樣。可以說是非裔版我和我的冠軍女兒，現實中的冠軍姊妹也有親自擔綱監製，力求做到不違背史實的真人真事描寫。跟阿米爾罕的冠軍女兒一樣，有衝破階級的反叛、嚴厲的父愛，外加身在美國的種族隔閡。電影著重在大小威廉斯成名前的過程，一般體育電影是越多賽事越能呈現角色的蛻變，這部的賽事反而非常少，除了是父親本人的堅持外，也是為了要襯托不鳴則已，一鳴驚人的話題性，準備好了再上場，為了避開小時了了大未必佳的循環，威廉斯古怪又大男人的教育方式讓人看的又恨又癢，影片著重在家庭、訓練過程，家庭佔最大幅度，父親大男人主義式的教育方式，影片也透過妻子一角適度給出批判，讓孩子抉擇自己的人生該怎麼走，基本上算是合體的體育勵志片，在贏之前，仍然要體會過失敗的滋味，才知道下一次該怎麼贏。
国王理查德，但却没有把这个理查德的人物立起来，大小威更是宛如没有性格的工具一样存在，种族议题大于性别议题，但却偏要加入母亲的那段演讲，难看
7/10。比起King Richard，其实叫Despot Richard可能更符合片子的调性：对跨越阶层的名利和成功毫不掩饰地推崇，对竞技体育带来的种族平权毫不吝惜地赞美，顺便把价值判断的权利留给了观众。剧本挺厚实，Will Smith又一次扮演了一个伟大父亲角色，标准的冲奖季电影。
黑命雕，黑命贵，黑命做啥都是对！一个自负的狼爸，撑起女儿的一生？片中连妻子都说了，你只是畏惧自己而已，结果一句话老爹就一百八十度大转变，角色彻底洗白。第二幕让女儿们谦卑，第一幕自己却极为自大，当然也可以这么拍，只要把对黑人混混那段拍明白就好（自我救赎），结果拍成了啥？一个没有开枪就获得胜利的人。（这也是片中理查给我的最深印象，导演还不如最开始就拍大小威廉或者母亲呢）
Hmm...故事本身沒什麼毛病，只有雞娃和自負讓人不適
在美国这样一个国家，教育是严重撕裂的，如果你的收入属于底层，那你周围的一切都很难有所改观。
知道名字叫理查德，但是没办法还是想看大威小威，虽然她们充当了背景板。世界前二，多次女单决赛对决是她们，女双冠军是她们，还能有这样的传奇吗。
别拦我 我要去打球！大小威是厉害 不过这个爹实在太manipulative了 吓人
C-. 颁奖季最陈腐平庸的“八股文”范文。明明是聚焦大小威成长过程的网球电影，却全然沉溺于兜售成功学的鸡汤，对运动也沦为完全机械性与程式化的展示。存在的唯一价值就是让威尔·史密斯冲奥，但相比其他影帝竞争者，这样的表演本身也太无聊了。
父亲的一言堂有点控制欲过分虽然是好心 努力争取到教练 俩姐妹从小就勤奋练习付出乖巧真的很棒 最后成为成功的网球运动员
完全是因为 奥斯卡上的那记狠狠的耳光多给一星！！！恶补此片！类型片叙事很工整，拿个男主角奖也是足够的，跟《弱点》中的桑德拉·布洛克拿女主角奖差不多！
非常不喜欢这片的视角，影片呈现出的这位父亲与所要传达的意义相悖，整个观影过程极度不适！
自己看过几年球，大小黑统治了女网近二十年，尽管不算粉，但看着就是很舒适亲切。传记片的剧情没什么可说的，威尔史密斯的表演也很有魅力，但作为一部竞技电影，几个蜻蜓点水、点到为止的运动场面调度实在是看得很不过瘾。
三位天使投资人故事，父亲理查德、教练里克、以及 Nike。Nike 很聪明地在赛前 300 万美元押宝，结果被拒。赛后增加至 1500 万美元才签约。在投资体育明星方面，Nike 真有一套。
父母的良苦用心你要很久以后才懂，但是压迫可是及时就有反应的。
