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".
这个世界需要实干家，理想主义者要么被社会排挤，要么自寻死路。
恣意洒脱，冷血轻快。今年文学性最强的一部，还是现代派的。
二战前夕，一个失业的文艺青年，在和女友约会的路上，见义勇为，不幸溺水而亡的故事。
3.5 最直接的观后感是又重新点开了名为《巴比伦柏林》的文件夹
回望三十年代的德国，沉重、压抑、欲望丛生，失业者越来越多，社会逐渐失序，恰似影片前半段的影像风格，幽暗、凌厉、快速、模糊，镜头碎片像发光的刀片，撕裂并重构时间，抒发一种历史的真实。随着剧情发展，叙事趋于稳定，影像也仿佛找到秩序，故事却没有明朗，亦像那时人们呼唤来的纳粹新秩序，绞杀个人价值，收缴自由，走向极端，有良知的理想主义者溺亡。电影里，是每个人注定无法实现自我的时代。
前1/3的部分镜头画面表现很惊艳。
在恐怖而荒谬的世界里，工作、爱情和朋友都离他远去。正要试图找回所爱，命运和他自己那颗不算坏的心却把他推向了死亡..印象最深的一个镜头是“他没有办法来帮自己 他在太阳下把舌头伸了出来” 。最后他的溺亡并不使我特别难过，可这伸舌头的动作真使人心碎..影片的摄影和剪辑也都还挺有意思的，尤其前面那部分。唯一就是还是太长了，超过一个半小时就一定会走神（
（看到第一眼就觉得会再看一遍又一遍，写得真好啊，居然没有原著可看，使人痛苦。啊！难受。
为啥要整那么多合集( ˙-˙=͟͟͞͞)
三个小时竟然感觉不到长，导演的节奏感太好了！法比安的死亡预示着那个纯真的年代一去不复返。男神汤姆希林真的太会挑剧本，每一部都那么经典！
这部是蜘蛛山和列车中间的部分，主角们回复治疗的过程还是有点趣味的，只是没有可看的砍鬼故事。可惜和之前的故事不算太连续，没看到主角的第一次任务。
既然是合集，那我肯定也看了。
很久没看这个打开才知道是看过的内容，看评论才知道是21-26的合集哈哈，没关系正好回忆一下
任一个时代，绝大多数人都是普普通通的，但总有一些幸运者成为了时代的弄潮儿，而一些不幸者成为了弃儿。
【7】我猜原著是很适合改编成文学电影的，被狂飙突进、含混疯狂的时代快车抛下的历史虚无·道德主义·理想破灭者，可他也厌倦地背弃了摇摇欲坠的社会（某种程度上，法比安很像马丁·伊登）。但导演缺乏再现魏玛共和国最后黄昏的气力，只是在做一些徒劳的剪切与拼贴，将黑白纪实影像笨拙地镶嵌在影片中，于是那些横流的肉欲、惘然的空虚、享乐的呻吟、愤怒的颓废统统贴地低飞，扬不起半分恣睢快意。前半小时用失败的实验影像扰乱观众，后两个半小时又回归最平庸的传统叙事。末了，努力撑起整出戏的，是卡斯特纳的悲悯文本，以及汤姆·希林的轻盈表演。
九柱全都亮相，男主也顺利加入了鬼灭队，祢豆子也得到了团队的认可，男主经过修炼功力又精进了一步，从而引出无限列车篇，一场恶战即将开始。
很好看的日本动漫。喜欢里面的人物，情结也好
太有文学性的电影有时候并不是不爱看，是比较难看懂，即使喜欢也很难准确说出它的好。当然水平不足是我自己的问题。
在抖音刷到这视频 看了一眼 就停不下来了 很燃也很感人
相爱的人再也无法赴约 乱世之中 终究得到了 也永远失去了 思辨放进电影里 形成相悖的自然逻辑 顺理成章中见微尘
