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.
本来很好的心情因为一个无用的人被破坏。昨晚回来开班会、洗衣服、吃饭。天气很好，有夏天的感觉了～～～
没看过音乐剧（但原声碟倒是听烂了），所以对这次电影改编还是蛮期待的，因为没有对比，觉得电影还是不错的（只是Ben的扮相也太老了吧）。
人都是自己孤零零地死掉了。
全片三分吧，题材加一分。从地震出发，想触及生活保障下的普通人，但感觉没有聊得多深刻。反转也没有多让人意外，只是有困难却还小心翼翼地怕给别人添麻烦真的很让人心疼…让人想到了上海的老人们，善良也变成了他们的弱点
过于平，没有所谓的高潮，每个人好像都背负了很多，推理没有多少，大段的平铺直叙，夹杂着几段插叙。如果困倦的时候看，大概会直接睡着吧。灾后重建和低保或许是日本一直难以解决的问题吧，尤其是最近社会人口老龄化越来越严重，青年劳动力越来越缺乏。灾后的日本人民如何生活，如何度过伤痛，那些没度过的人又如何了，个人觉得这是一个可以继续往下挖掘的内容，更深入的去看看伤痛的最底层。
没猜到凶手，宽叔角色还是走不出加贺，おかえり那里泪目了，日本人也真冷漠，嘴上说是没有血缘的一家亲，抱着哭哭啼啼，是经历过生死的至交吧啦吧啦的。如果能常打个电话，也不至于让老太太饿死在家里……小女孩被领养了不方便，那砂糖那个角色哪怕再多做出一点点，老太太就不会死。可能是中日两国观念不同吧…不懂，大不懂…考虑到老太太的尊严，哪怕不给钱，你周末多送点菜不成吗…二十一世纪怎么还能饿死人呢
难得的没有祖传的“每个人都有苦衷”的那么变扭了 利根没有资质惠姨是因为日本电焊工工资过低吗？麻烦了解者解惑
？？？………… 杀那俩人有用吗……… ？？？ 最后他妈的为什么还要有特写？？？
不算剧粉，觉得电影版还是挺好看的。每个人都有脆弱的一面，过于鼓励外向社交的校园文化在某种程度上也挺压抑的
一场地震改变了一切，脆弱的保障体系值得深思
后面有点啰嗦，在我看来之前凶手已经kill2个，也不差这最后一个，最后又jjyy了
值得继续咀嚼深思
日剧依然治愈啊，其实到一半就猜到了是小干杀得，但是一个弱女子，怎么实施得了啊
真正需要低保救济金的人的死活，骗保这笔钱的人毫不关心，发放这笔钱的人不够关心。
6。”You’ll Be Found” is still touching. 剧情不太行。
还没来得及看音乐剧，但是同为壁花少年本人真的有被电影感动到。可能很多人会觉得很矫情，但是男主很多情绪和举动我真的是感同身受，那种不知道如何“做自己”的迷茫，还有怕自己做得不好被嘲笑所以没有勇气面对生活的焦虑，还有依恋谎言带来的美好所以越来越深陷的无措。我们总是给be yourself加上太多的后缀，要自信、要独立、要坚强，但事实上没有人永远这么完美，你就是你，这样就很好了，看到最后真的好希望Conner真的是Evan的朋友。加上音乐感染力真的太强了，男主上台演讲那一段真的好好哭，摩尔阿姨的独唱把一个单亲妈妈的心事描述得太动人。选角真的有点别扭，男主的“丑”并不是问题，毕竟他设定就是一个不被待见重视的自卑男孩，但是他看上去真的好老…老到能做女主爸爸了…
我多喜欢爱乐之城和马戏之王啊，我多喜欢壁花少年呀，结果整点官摄不香吗？我猜可能是电影太认真得放进生活中了，观众的道德审判可能随之上升，导致没了抽象场景里的可爱甚至是浪漫，男主长的又不是那么讨喜更难分散这种情绪，而且几乎只有Sincerely Me片段有歌舞的感觉，据说还删了重要的歌们，电影里大多唱段是没有场面调度的直接大抒情，观赏性也下降了。
电影版真的是灾难 剪辑和转折很生硬 不如出个官摄😑歌还是好听的 虽然我喜欢的歌被删了几首 新加的歌也还可以😞 Colton Ryan让这部电影可以忍受一点点 毕竟宽街没留下他演DEH的任何video😄以及我的快乐变成了在夹缝里寻找Isaac 结果他居然还分到了几句词儿
很悲伤的一个故事啊…无论什么样的大政方针，我们面对的依旧是一个个活生生的个人，即便是99%个人都受到了保护，我们依然要听到那1%的人的声音
一等一的卡司、值得深挖的题材愣看睡了，濑濑敬久跟大森立嗣一样，都具备把我待见的演员和感兴趣的题材拍成稀巴烂的特技，唯桑大爷的歌永存心间
