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".
很不错的一部片子，字幕再完美一些就好了，主演很棒，师徒之情有时候的确能超越世间大部分感情
片中 血汗工厂 只是冰山一角 ，大量青壮年劳动力，为了摆脱家庭贫困 ，落入了黑心工厂 。男主从一个受害者 ，逐渐转变成助纣为虐的 施暴者，是人性中弱肉强食的变换 ，有深度 。
无意间看到是8分作品就点了进去，但是看了三分之二就看不下去了。故事脉络太容易猜了，男主性格很分裂：低调寡言的人在数学家面前格外傲娇卖萌。对于数学的理解，突飞猛进得太突然了，以至于羸弱性格的人突然间自信满满反驳老师这个场景特别站不住脚（从性格和数学能力两方面看，都不现实）可以有很悲剧的生活，但是全都堆积在几个主要人物上，叙事就格外着急……
6分。太一般了，数学问题表现得很浅薄，人物关系处理得不太自然，但老崔的演技真不是盖的。总体还算不错吧。
翻译也翻得很烂，数学抛弃者翻成数学家，哎呀呀！
一个斯德哥尔摩综合症的故事。马克思说，万恶的资本主义，每个毛孔都在流着肮脏的血液。在巴西那个血液又格外让人恶心。
师生情，父子情，都是互相治愈缺失的部分。希望此生能遇到理解你的好老师。
开头bwv846我哭了 中间音乐会是什么fake马友友xs 韩国片总带点狗血 瑕不掩瑜
谁说的来着，幸福的人生总是相同的，不幸的人生各自不幸~
又来黑朝鲜啦。。。数学家为了有自由的环境来到韩国，结果儿子却想回去，剧情巧合的太神奇，感情发生的也太快了。
电影里出现他儿子的时候，那些对话真让人窒息，永不停止的“歌颂”真是奇怪的国家
数学真的是需要天赋的。小女孩喜欢的毫无道理啊。感觉有点少年苑得的影子
人贩子市场猖獗，男人做苦力，女人做娼妓。更可怕的是，不知道谁是好人, 谁是坏人，政府腐败，系统瘫痪，警察保护的是既得利者的利益。Marcus最后的选择无可厚非，换了其他六个人，也一样都会做这样的选择，因为每个人都有弱点和自私的一面，也因为现实中的英雄很少很少。
高估了 @2022-05-08 19:49:05
“数学家盼望的不是万两黄金，也不是千年霸业，毕竟这些都会成为灰烬。我们追求的是永恒的真理，我们热爱的是理论和方程，它比黄金还要珍贵，它比权力还要真实，因为它是大自然表达自己的唯一方法。它比诗章还要华美动人，因为当真理赤裸裸地呈现时，所有颂词华章都变得渺小。”
932｜4.5，借这个“屠龙少年终成恶龙”的故事来讲整个社会的痼疾，进而去揭开看似恶毒之人的“善良”一面，可是越表现卢卡的善良，我们就越能感受到马图斯一步步走向地狱的无可挽回，因为那是一种清晰可感的罪恶的继承。然而这种继承是不可或缺的，正如那段对话：圣保罗里有多少像我们这样的人？足够建设这个城市。这部电影最大的优点就是把故事讲好了，94分钟很快就过去了，虽然缺乏所谓的艺术性，但这不是致命的缺点。
三路人马因为一盒蛋糕和一袋钱上演一出闹剧，最后因为假保健品公司把故事推向高潮，这故事有点《疯狂的石头》那味了。ktv里一群人抹蛋糕的荒诞场景、庄宝的吵架戏，优映真的还在进步。里面还有很多细节彩蛋，比如杀不死、相对论乐队、城市的边缘，剧组的演员也很齐，优映粉过年了属于是。
需要一种建构价值观的载体去表现这个世界的美好。可这被当工具去奴役着我们的思想！
看到短评 居然有人和我一样想到了闻香识女人 电影想表达的东西太多了 韩国与朝鲜 韩国教育 纯粹的追求 就模糊了焦点 但李克成数学家走上演讲台的那一刻 那段感言真的让人想起闻香识女人那一段 那种恳切那种对自己过往的悔恨那种人生的无奈那种对生活的渴望 全在那段话里 大叔还是你的大叔 绝 故事蛮就是中规中矩
赤裸裸的人性啊！😵💫 开篇剧情以为是历经苦难的出逃剧，结果，越看越无奈……
