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".
从对历史的还原度角度出发，已经做到了极致了。并没有所谓的对错的区别，只有不同的视角下面对同一个事情的做出的反应。 但是发生在法国的一个故事，结果全程英文来表达，略显奇怪。特别是用英语发音法国地名的时候。话说法国里摩日我还去过呢。
只按女权理解是不是也格局小了。整体真不错，最后的1v1嗓子吊心口。
雷德利斯科特今年已经84岁了，还那么高产，关于拿破仑的新片马上也要开拍了，女主还是朱迪科默，祝他老人家长命百岁。
结构上三方面对称，内容上并没有做到，主要是第二男主的爱情描述实在过于自说自话了。即便如此，依然不能说导演插旗在女权这边了，罗生门结构强调的就是对主观叙事的反思，甚至包括对女性话语权的反思。插旗的是观众，不是导演，就看观众能不能反思自己的主观叙事了。
我曾看过太多所谓的史诗电影，但那宏大的战争场景却总是让我觉得乏味。
一个男人的荣耀成了女人的窒息。三个视角剖析的完整故事，不同的镜头细节分化私心的种种表象。一句“若以情欲之眼看待女性，那么在心中就已犯下淫欲之罪”足以令人无可反驳
抛开系列终章的情怀不说，大友啓史真的不太会拍文戏。前面节奏非常非常非常慢，而且大多数的戏在之前几部都以闪回的方式放过了。最后半个小时节奏又非常快。结尾与第一部相接，当配乐响起不由得眼眶一湿，最重要的是，没有《追忆篇》就不会认识真正的绯村拔刀斋。网飞就上线后推荐1235（beginning）4（final）的顺序看
喜欢！因为对中世纪背景的迟疑 都没想到会这么喜欢。罗生门式的多重视角 但相较于罗生门不一样的是 每一重视角下对女性的侵犯都是事实 对女性的羞辱都不可争辩 啊好棒 小变态也越来越好了诶喜欢
厉害的是人物视角变化后的一些细节，就连强奸戏，男性视角相比女性都会简化或者说“美化”很多。只有女性视角才表现出眼泪鼻涕，歇斯底里。一度想给五星，后半小时还是有点过于白给了，把现代女权觉醒的意识套到那个时代。
7.7 她的结局看起来还是那个时代十万分之一的女人都不一定能享有的。罪犯死了，老公死了，婆婆肯定也比她早死，有儿子相伴，做一个自己喜欢的庄园，这一切因为她的勇气。影片里最大的不妥还是弱化了男权带来的伤害，反而让你觉得还是女人在为难女人，婆婆和友人等等。描写女人的刻薄胜过男人的虚伪，所以平衡缺失，最后三十分钟倒是点题。
来来来，我们一起来当法国人，你叫尚来我叫皮耶
硬着头皮看完这种公说公有理婆说婆有理两个多小时都讲不明白的老掉牙剧情电影对自己来说简直是受刑。如果有人说这是一部女权电影，那只是他一厢情愿相信女主罢了，也或者说他纯粹就是个看热闹不嫌事大的搅屎棍。
本片的优点集结于展示男性对于自身以及自我行为的臆想性美化，将女性当作财产以及生育工具的麦迪文和风流并觉得“No means Yes"的司机的视角中从来只有自己，嘲讽二人伪善。但三条线的信息差很小，主要是展现不同的情绪，因此重复的观感并不算好。很理解为什么老雷要特地标出真相，但这从纯文本角度出发是很无力的一次标记。
在中世纪背景下不太完整地为女性争夺了一次话语权，女性承担了巨大的代价，但实际上最后的权力，最后的荣耀，完全属于男性，这也是这部电影比较压抑的地方。用三个不同的视角让这个故事更加客观以及立体，但是又因为太客观导致看到中段有些许疲惫。也不用像《罗生门》那样太过于主观，如果在某些地方，比如在Jean的视角做了一件很英勇的事情，Jean说着非常英雄的台词，但是在别人的视角看来Jean做的却是一件粗暴不讲理的事情，说的也是毫无素质的台词，略微增加一些混淆真相的主观想法，加一些假的东西进去，从而让三个视角描述出来的故事到最后都有略微的差异，会不会更加有意思。
历史照进现实啊，一部女性追求公平正义的影片，从铺垫到最后决斗的高潮，看得人血脉贲张。
8/10.
开头真的闷，后面进入罗生门剧情以后才渐入佳境，而直到最后，决斗的那场戏才真正让人心跳不止
7.5分。论拍古装片，Ridley Scott绝对是大拿中的大拿。这么个简单的案子竟然被他拍出了史诗感？？三人的罗生门设计很不错，蛮横又粗俗无礼的无能丈夫，自恋又拔吊无情的花花公子，同一段历史两个人讲出了不同的故事，一个看另一个狼心狗肺，一个看另一个不识好歹，从好友变成陌路，从陌路又成为了仇敌。直到此时整个电影都很精彩，但为什么最后还要来个所谓妻子说的“真相”呢？正是这所谓的真相，让电影泄了气，又变成了个弱女子控诉世道不公的电影，让最后所谓的决斗变得有点滑稽了。其实完全可以设计成真正的罗生门嘛，花花公子的部分可以拍成通J不就成了~~不过单纯以动作场面而论，最后的大战还是非常精彩的。中世纪电影耗资巨大却票房潜力有限，本片无论服道演都趋于完美，票房却如此惨烈，后继可能不会再有人投资了哎。。。。
不是罗生门式各个角度的诠释，而是同一个真相不同利益相关者各自的权衡。
what can I say, fuck the men （呜呜Jodie真是绝绝子TT为她加星（几个美国人的演法真是有点出戏~（婆婆是Dasha!!哈哈哈换个时空师徒手刃这些垃圾男
