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".
好看好看好看，《劝导》是我最不喜欢的简奥斯汀作品。中学时先读了《傲慢与偏见》，喜欢到不行，立志要读完她的小说。接下来的《爱玛》和《理智与情感》虽然再没让我欲罢不能，倒也不想放手。硬着头皮啃完《劝导》之后，简直无法相信《傲慢与偏见》的作者会写出这么死气沉沉的东西。结果现在《劝导》的这部电影版，倒是成了我最喜欢的简奥斯汀电影。看完这部电影，我终于意识到当年不喜欢《劝导》是因为那是一部描述真正的“成年人”情感的小说。而“成年人”的感情，well, as we can all imagine, not that much about passion.片子的舞美设计，说实话比起大部分的简奥斯汀电影甚至是英国本土的文艺片，都好太多了。但是如果看过《燃烧女子的肖像》，恐怕会觉得摄影美术和场景设计上都很肖似
不太懂这个故事的逻辑，如果男主那么爱女主为什么还要去撩别人？
这片的优势是喜剧元素，都是人才，灾难片里带点搞笑，还挺有意思。
前期铺垫的太长肥皂剧剧情到后期基本上补救不回来了 一想到这种奇怪的调调应该一定是国产电影最后翻拍喜欢的感觉
不能说和原著毫无关系，但是看着就像是一位美国21世纪的大学生来到了英国一个奥斯汀主题乐园，与众人玩起了cosplay，且挑选了一个木头来扮演男主。与其变成这种不伦不类的改编，还不如索性从一开始就颠覆原著，做一个完全现代的版本。
好在两人的矜持阴差阳错。
必须要把含蓄变成直白，演员人种各异，仿佛才能是现代。畅同学的第一眼海报评论挺好的，要是不说是劝导，你说是五十度灰续集也是可以的。人设高于故事，这次遭殃的是简奥斯丁而已。这个评论也许有失公允，毕竟我就是干着别的，让它播着，即便这样我都感到尬尴力透屏幕。
奈何奥斯丁的故事永远在我心里有个soft spot，看到这片还是点开了……这拍得我觉得我在看Fleabag哈哈
爱在托斯卡拉，看名字导演就是在引导一种情愫，一种托斯卡拉风格的电影，托斯卡纳风格是乡村的，简朴的，但比乡村更优雅，它是建筑与大自然有机结合的风格。托斯卡纳风格将当地奶白的象牙般的白垩石，出名的金色托斯卡纳阳光，红色的土壤，浓绿的森林，葡萄园和牧场，和浅绿的橄榄树果园，更有深色的红宝石光泽的Chianti酒和鲜红的番茄各种颜色调和在一起。
只有风景是好的。哪怕再上两盘菜呢？和父亲的关系根本没处理好，更谈何爱情。
作为轻喜剧6分，
这种搞笑灾难片真是少有，拍来讽刺韩国救援队的吧
五十度灰的女主长得现代就算了，造型师也不给她做个像样的古典造型是怎么回事，几乎全程黑长直或者丸子头，最多再勉为其难戴个古典的帽子，和影片中其他角色画风完全不在一个维度，无语子。。。为了zzzq强行加入黑人和亚裔村民也是理解无能。外网说这是史上最差的简奥斯丁改编，一点没错。
虽然剧本很俗 但演员自带喜感 车婶到哪里都是厨子hhh
但，有两个问题，一个是设定不合理，一个是过度巧合，这对灾难片来说，算是大忌了。
其实还没有看完，打算今天bubble bath接着看，虽然感到蛮难看的，dakota粉丝向电影，非常适合泡澡
777
前30分钟铺垫太久，特别是科长的办公室戏份很多余。灾难部分一般，出租车反复掉了几次最后落在科长家里也太巧，而且翻转多次没系安全带金代理都没受伤？科长只是听到儿子上了电梯就确定他出去了，不去找？如果我是父母肯定要全楼搜一圈。还有航拍机突然恢复，少年突然死亡等解释不通。自救也很扯，桶和盖子那么好找、好拧紧、好拧开？上面挡着一幢楼那么容易升上去？破个洞一拳堵住，升到水面了才发现第2个？总之，是个喜剧，车婶牛🍺，以一当十😂。
演员阵容不错，剧情比较狗，但是最后的水箱也是捏了一把汗，奇迹般都存活下来了。
头一次看灾难片要把我笑死，虽然逻辑什么的有点不通，但看得开心就是成功啦～光洙虽然很适合这种角色，但是也好想看他再突破一下
