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".
这电影不是看剧情，看以后发布的Apple Car啊
很怪 不喜欢 太精致漂亮的未来设计 但处处呈现出很幼稚的“讨论”和“展现” 像是广告故事 情绪化严重 较无趣
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。
找一个替身继续陪伴真的是对另一半更好的选择吗
未来科技这么发达了，为什么疾病还是那么难治，为什么医药健康方面不能攻克一下呢？
偏僻的疗养所，简约冷淡的装潢风格，饱和度稍高的灯光，让人想起机械姬和黑镜。然而剧情走向却是反其道而行。影片中的虚构技术（基因编辑+克隆人+记忆移植）散发着浓郁的优生学乃至社会达尔文主义的气息，根本原因是影片的内核不存在对抗，而是有人文关怀的，是有尊严地接受死亡和更好的自己。最能体现这一内核的例子是第三幕Cam和Jack在自己的工作室相遇，虽然两人给的都是特写，但给Cam的拉得更近，满脸都是恐惧，Jack则给到了脖子，虽然有戒心，但没有恶意。男主作为艺术家，看到自己的克隆人找回自己创作的灵感（虽然偷换了工业设计和自由创作的概念），他终于理解自己拒绝接受死亡的情绪干扰了他和家人的沟通、对世界的感知，以及克隆人并非工具人而是自己生命的升华与延续。他对科技的屈服也是有尊严的。
对于我来说，可能这部电影的电影语言太过简洁了。
中间有说到之前的病人.... 我突然想到，要是最后发现他老婆也是克隆人就好玩儿了...
过去的一切
没想到这几个人物的演出就完成了这样一部有内容的好电影，看的过程中就有想流泪的感觉，看到影片最后两行热泪也跟着流下来，很完美的收尾。
各方面都似曾相识又都四平八稳的一部小清新科幻片。《天鹅挽歌》把对立面从人类与克隆人当中抽离出来，而把人类自身的情感与回忆这最难断舍离的一部分作为最强大的对立面来对抗克隆人取代自己，从宏观经济方面转换到个人情感方面，这就让这片子显得更加贴近个人，更能感同身受。我们最宝贵的就是自身的情感和回忆。这一点和斯派克·琼斯当年的《她》也异曲同工的地方。
如果未来能有这样的技术，我愿意生活在这样虚假的真实中。男主演技是真的可以！
洗脑片，为明显存在道德问题的科技应用做意识形态的铺路，看不明白么？
很悲伤，被戳到的点还有一处是cj打架时，c突然病发而j扶住他
感觉男主并不是有钱人，但也能负担得起这个费用？这项科技相当于女娲造人一样，科学家担当了上帝的角色，希望这种有悖伦理的技术永远不要面世。

和新的我的立场上
而且还要共处 交流 分享同一个生活
/chy/与心爱的人在一起是难以面对死亡的
怎么说呢，克隆一个健康的自己替自己活下去并陪伴亲人，脑洞实在是可以。不过都能删除增加记忆了，这世界之大，可供操作的地方之多，估计也就富人能够真正享受到对应福利，而穷人们指不定哪天就被改了记忆，不再像曾经的自己。而且本意也许是好的，但是却也改变了正常的生存伦理，后患无穷
