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".
基本上照辦煮碗把原版移植，但是仍能被父親視角傾聽音樂感動，反正能感動人心的就是好電影
绿皮书那届的奥斯卡是有毒的一届，健听女孩这届的奥斯卡只是大众化的一届。
追求梦想的青春少女，以亲情线为主，爱情线为辅，再拿音乐做点缀，实在是太俗的套路，电影没什么问题，不能说差，但也不值得我去看，对这种片子已经是完全免疫了。
感动大哭，在当下这个混沌的时代，太需要这样一部充满爱与力量的影片，让我们重拾生活的信心。其实我们每个人都有一定的听力障碍，我们每个人身边也都有这样那样的桎梏，但只要内心还有那团火，未来总是充满希望，生活总会迎来和解。人物关系真实丰富，角色心理变化细腻流畅，每个配角也都在不多的戏份中呈现出了可供想象的人生故事。虽然总体上很老套，但真的很动人。
太喜欢了！回味无穷！最后十几分钟更是泪目了！
很多情节和细节的优于原版了，除了收尾和最后的选歌相比之下有一点点弱，而且人也更加养眼。
片名CODA，是Children of Deaf Adults的缩写，意为聋人抚养下的一代。 Ruby父母和哥哥都是打渔的聋哑人，但她却是个正常人，热爱唱歌，在留下来帮助家人经营生意还是去远方上大学之间陷入了两难境地，最终在老师的指导下考取了伯克利音乐学院。 电影虽然获得了奥斯卡最佳影片，但其实略显平庸，只能说当年没选出更优秀的影片。 聋哑妈妈主演玛丽·玛特琳的经历比电影更精彩。一岁半的时候因患麻疹而失聪。1985年，因《失宠于上帝的孩子》获得奥斯卡最佳女主角奖。当时年仅21岁的她也因此成为该奖历史上最年轻的最佳女主角奖获得者，也是第一位荣膺此奖项的听障人士，同时成为四位初涉银幕就获得奥斯卡小金人的女演员之一。
题材不新颖，剧本工整但也平庸，视听语言毫无创造力，情感动人之余还略微粗暴直接，论清新自然度也不如法国原版，这可以说是一碗好喝的罐头鸡汤，但也转瞬即逝，永不会在影史的浩瀚星河中留下任何痕迹 Oscar颁给它是嫌自己这些年恶心的不够，连带给它招黑的吧
父亲抚摸女儿喉咙以震动来听歌，是有声世界和无声世界的连接；通过这个动作，他们真正的相互理解了对方的世界。多处泪目。
对于这种较老套得看开头十分钟就可以预测整个故事的温情片而言，填充无趣故事骨架的应是细腻真实的触感和流畅自然的脉络。但我看到什么？我看到强行安排的矛盾冲突，看到强化戏剧效果的单薄反派和困境难题，按头让你哭的刻意煽情，莫名其妙的感情和解与升温，有头无尾的的情节废笔。没有一处让人惊艳惊喜，只有颁奖结果出来的震惊。而且还是改编别人的剧本用的现成设定。whatcanIsay
以为挺无聊的电影 但因为得了奥斯卡还是看一看 结果很不错很温馨
聋哑人家庭的正常女儿逐梦伯克利故事居然能拍得一点都不谄媚，特别真诚，丝丝入扣，流畅至极｜音乐会时电影突然静音，爸爸摸女儿声带的震动感受歌曲，手语可视化演唱，几场戏太精彩了，不亚于烧女图结尾带给我的震撼｜女主妈妈演员是奥斯卡最年轻影后，唯一一个聋哑人影后，三十多年后她终于等来了这个角色
歌选的不行，不行法版那么有情感渲染力，比如la maladie damour，听名字就是那么美~包括Audition时的歌也不行，法版的je vole简直太好听太有感觉了
翻拍自法国电影《贝利叶一家》。
挺温情的，希望大家都能过上自己想要的生活。
唯一的惊喜可能是看贝利叶一家的时候觉得这个故事只能发生在法国。改编的还行，比原版更激进的用“听障”高概念提取“家庭伦理与社会规则的冲突”，但是只要先入为主还是觉得太美式了，没有原版那么简单可爱。
3-22 coda在音乐里意味着结束。看之前以为自己不会爱上这部电影，到后面还是被感动，倒也不是电影有多煽情，而是能relate到更多角色的心情。女儿为家庭付出了很多，但是也想拥有自己的人生，毕竟还是高中生，终于开始追求梦想。学校的部分就是glee all over again，谢谢老师的reference，让这部电视剧的影响还能到今天。家庭里，生活有艰难的部分，但是一家人相亲相爱，就是最好的事情了。一个让人开心又流泪的故事，我依旧是爱音乐，这个世界终究是离不开音乐。
法国贝利叶一家的美国版，剧情水准相对稳定，但唯一不足就是歌唱。
每次唱歌的时候都想哭，可能是因为生活都不容易吧。最后女主成功了很大程度上也是因为手语让面试官耳目一新吧。
首先故事线就很戏剧张力：聋哑家庭的正常孩子；每个生活的细节都稳稳地戳到了我：爸妈去接女儿车里巨大的音响让女儿尴尬，女儿的演出爸妈打错拍子的无措，爸妈和老师那个“尴尬”的招呼…这些点点滴滴都没说爱，却都是爱
