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.
跟第一部差得有点远，木村拓哉还是帅，长泽雅美胖了。
打破规矩特长互补，杀人勒索虚假时间，不行说不行噢；不像上集用几个故事铺垫再用主线总结，这次基本集中只讲主线一个故事，还用LGBT和二次羞辱做了点升华，但长泽雅美和木村拓哉咋完全不来电鸟？
没有文化底蕴的国家塑造的神话终究只是凭空的意淫，开头用了pink floyd的《time》，但是删去了歌曲最开始的一段钟声，所以再减一颗星
0506
晕3D人士慎看，中间有几个镜头看得我脑袋疼。剪辑也很好地继承了前作的尿性，能多碎就多碎，比八十个老太太不间断地剁了三天三夜的饺子馅还碎😅
又是这么强大的阵容，合格的刑警与合格的侍者，走慢的表，被强暴的妹妹，出轨的丈夫，偷窥的小朋友，变装洛丽塔，原本就带着假面工作的人们又聚在一起参加了变装假面舞会，双重的假面，可做出来的事情确实真的万箭穿心的真实，恨在骨子里，拐个弯的杀
同第一部一样
导演啊，能不能稍微把麻酱拍美点，让木村少装酷一点。编剧啊，能不能把推理部分改编得更具魅力些（作案动机也太没说服力，况且这凶手小屁孩都不会错认性别吧），能不能合理些（告密者是怎么知道凶手电话的；人躺那居然不是第一时间诊察还活着没；包搁那半天居然没人上去检查）；能不能精简人物、情节和台词。
之后觉得嗯，确实，这部的水平配不上这么豪华且高质量演出的演员卡司……
太难看了，属于没话找话的那种，全无起伏可言。想在这个系列里找悬疑感和推理性就好比在西红柿炒蛋里找红烧肉。
完全没看出来反派是麻生久美子姐姐演的，演的挺好的～话说好久没有看到她了呢
把日本人的轴刻画得很生动形象，看得我拳头硬了。
文戏略拖沓所以快进了。每个人的动机处理的还是清楚的。但是闪回镜头和慢镜头都太多。战斗场面惊人的弱，让人感觉整个永恒族的防御力都超低。伊卡洛斯被爱情和目的感挤压的自杀，这个剧情处理倒是很好。原子弹的败笔是挺伤害民族情感的，在西方视野中反而是跟日本共情，可见全球化的结果
拍一些大的 landscape + 空镜倒是赵婷的风格、但是这也拍的太无聊了。哪怕是二倍速都懒得看。Gemma Chan 和 Richard Madden 还挺配的、
这次可以算是“一波三折”，在经历猪猪字幕组查封，生肉资源出现，机翻字幕和华为AI字幕都无法看下去的噩梦后，等了好久终于等到了華堅馮力士“阅片与追剧”发的熟肉资源，也算是可喜可贺了。一遍看下来还是原来的味道，但整体文本质量可能不如之前的假面饭店，毕竟人物关系在上一部已一一缕清，不再干扰剧情，但是奇异性也减少，没法把信息网搞得更乱一点儿，差评👎案件比上次的连环杀人也简单，有那么一些狗尾续貂的感觉。最后结束时，长泽雅美身穿“洋装”准备深造，恍惚间认识到大堂里的客人和服务员全部“带上”面具的状态，面对摘下面具的木村拓哉，算是很好的为两部电影点题，值得好评👍背后其实想讨论的是，如何设身处地的理解他人，对于社会人是有其意义所在的。无奈我只是俗人一个，看看就好吧👻
凑合吧！为了男女主怎么也得追一个……但剧情就真的跟上一部挺重复的
漫威“十兄弟”为拯救心爱的人类宝宝们，反抗天神爸爸后内讧、相互残杀，最后杀死了寄生地球的大魔王。说实话，影片的剧情确实相当丰富，但是精彩的部分也确实不多，无聊的戏份时长远超漫威任何一部超英片。导演还在影片过程中不间断地强调了好几场情感戏，各种狗血的你爱他、我爱你、他不爱我的戏码。永恒族的领导灭亡了千百个星球，就只觉得人类不该死，其他星球的生命都该死，这种狗血的理由真的很难让人信服。人类也许很特别，但也还没这种“至尊无上”的特别。永恒族作为“神仙”，除了长生之外，那点战斗能力好像还不如几个X战警。
小说就看不进去，电影更是走马灯一般，什么都说了，毫无电影感。两位主演辛苦了。
整个推理部分就是给人一个大大的问号 不过麻生久美子好美啊
之后觉得嗯，确实，这部的水平配不上这么豪华且高质量演出的演员卡司……
