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".
对影片中的科幻元素还是蛮…无奈的。太多《黑镜》的风格化的设定，导致最后的成片会让我感觉有些索然无味。也只有Ali的表演才能唤醒我的兴趣
关于死亡和告别的散文诗 虽然设定很简单 但视觉和美学做的很完整 给故事一种隽永的感觉 奥卡菲娜很适合用笑话讲悲剧的这类角色 希望她可以出演更多的角色
找一个替身继续陪伴真的是对另一半更好的选择吗
当克隆人获取了人类本体的身份，人类本体又算什么？一个类似于忒修斯悖论的哲学命题，一个难以说清的身份关系，以及无法割舍却又必须告别的人生。纵使科技几乎可以改变一切，但构成人类本质的特质，诸如灵魂、伦理、和情感的命题仍是我们无法逾越的关隘。山水空灵，景色宜人，智能科技，无所不在，可我们仍将为自己身为人类的身份而付出一切。
人类还是多学习怎么告别吧，逃避可耻，反对复制
特别"苹果"的一部电影，无论是摄影、画面、场景、道具，甚至是角色，都很有苹果的风格，不过故事本身其实很简单也并无新意。
3. 我反对阴谋论者。
看这种电影最大的好处就是，我能感受到编导在写这故事拍这电影时的心情，一定太幸福太美好了。这种幸福感是写岀好故事拍出好电影最大的动力，太享受这种创作激情了，我懂。今年必须一定会继续做傻事写剧本的，用心执着的人永远都有傻福，把人生的遗憾和幸福一部部拍出来，让生命力延长三倍。
？？？我一直以为妻子也是克隆人呢……结果没有反转
3.5，科技乐观主义片。过去在讨论“什么定义了我是我？”时，主流观点之一是“回忆”。在记忆和情感、喜好都可以共享传送的设定下，克隆人的确就是生命的延续了，只是对原来的那个人就不太公平了。男主演技佳，本体和克隆人的微表情区分绝了。这片结局没有任何反转、黑化，Cameron本身就是很不错的人呀。这部片是我今年看过的第三部用书架上有很多相同的书表现情侣是soul mate的电影了。还有，小狗才是最好的！
故事的设定在未来的某个时间段，随手可见的高科技产品，最令人惊叹的是克隆医疗技术，不过克隆人这一设定并不新鲜。影片中最为感触的一幕是克隆人与卡梅隆发生争执，二人又在顶峰相遇共同面向夕阳，除了衣着不同，如同照镜子般，两人的和解也说明了彼此内心的和解。喜欢影片中卡梅隆和杰克的最后一次交谈，导演将镜头偏向卡梅隆，没有继续采用对称镜头，从而暗示了卡梅隆的离世，杰克将正式代替他活下去，导演将无声的告别诠释的十分生动有力。
男主演得不错，但还是不太喜欢看他的脸。女主有点太完美，就好像夫妻生活中没有任何争吵。克隆体替你生存，帮你照顾家庭，或者克隆体，就是你。你死了，你的一部分还活着，所以你没有死。
好看。点子好棒。而且流泪就是这个样子流泪，其他样子都是假的。
是为了给主演预留奥斯卡moment？短片的容量硬是水到两个小时，不过还是支持阿里三封
喜欢车，通讯系统，游戏机。色调和调性很苹果。内容乏善可陈，究竟有什么新内容？其实什么都没有。都已经把克隆人表现到这种程度了，难道不应该探讨一下伦理问题？就硬是回避，让电影显得很立不住脚！
我想我也很难和自己的一生和解，我们都是。
人之所以区别于动物就在于知伦理明道德 但同时人也是最自私的动物
鬼魅浮生的克隆版 科幻外衣的爱情片 主要剧情都是讲记忆 对话很适合学口语 最后一句金句: i love you, always have always will.
7.8分，节奏很慢，画面很Apple，虽然很慢，但是现实/回忆/AR交替的画面不愿意错过任何一个画面。电影有1个地方很打动我，卡梅伦回到家里和几岁的儿子有一个成年人式的道别，他吃着毛豆，眼眶都是泪。而影片总让我有一个问题：如果我有绝症，我是否会告诉我的亲人/爱人？
三星半吧!看的过程一直觉得会有反转,怪自己思想太过复杂😂
