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".
“The little black dress is a classic, Mother.”
3.5。東木這幾年的電影都挺一根筋的。區別僅在於，他自己主演的時候這個問題會更嚴重一點。
某一天 突然发现某一部电影 它的剧情好坏已不重要 优秀与否已无足轻重 看着 想着的 不再是剧情合理否 故事优秀否 而是荧幕中那人的一切 无论是对面对诱惑心有余而力不足的自己的自嘲 还是心中那作为一个西部边陲小镇的救世主而出现的初心 亦或是作为一个年长者对于青年少年的经常的吧啦吧啦 老爷子的一生已足够精彩 塑造了许许多多的荧幕经典 相信对于所有喜欢他的人所期望的 不再是作品 而是保重自己
这其实一部纪录片，那只macho（标题）的老公鸡就是伊斯特伍德本人，他之前还是只《骡子》，骡子是他的成名作通心粉西部片里的坐骑。这确实是一部纪录片。记录了90岁的肉身和电影活化石的奇迹。整部影片都有一种让人感觉呼吸凝固的紧张感，好像自己置身于拍摄现场…
画风好奇怪啊，又丑又恐怖，故事也完全看不下去，只觉得好吵
1、伊斯特伍德是我心中永远的牛仔，永远的英雄，永远的男人，永远的Macho。
第一部还是个情怀..也比较的新奇..第二部简直不知所云了...一顶假发引起的祸??不过我真的好喜欢Wednesday~
度假？海滩？？公路旅行？？ 星期三变成弱智被一秒洗脑 小手全程壁花 几乎没有戏份 （很喜欢这个角色呀）以前的机智小手去哪了？？ 反派角色也是串到丁丁历险记里了 it就这？来了走了🤷🏿♂️ 最后一家人还爱上旅行 环游全球？？？ 看喜羊羊和灰太狼都比这个解闷吧
第一部的星期三，聪明独立，有着自己的思考，不会因为别人说一些其他的话而放弃身边的家人，然而第二部却做到了。
早先看过1993和1998版。2019的电影也是第一时间去电影看了。但是这部，真的不好看……
“我不知道怎么治愈“老”，但今晚你们也许应该睡在一块儿。” 连稍微复杂的叙事策略都放下了，余下的反而是生命再次面向无限可能性的力量，“老去”的未来并非只剩下死亡。《Cry Macho》——多tough的片名！你看，老牛仔从不直露'soft' 。
20210926le。老导演已经看淡一切了，平平淡淡才是真。
情节特别简单，走温情路线，有一定套路的公路片。其实水准确实也一般。但真的就...全片散发的那种不容忽视的感伤就一直触动着我的心，真的是淡淡的感伤啊，世事沧桑，年华老去，英雄迟暮，东木在这部电影里毫不掩饰自己的衰老和无力，但有一点是肯定的：西部牛仔精神的永不消亡。
剧情太温吞缓慢了，拍的依然还算好看，但是片子也像东木一样有种衰老迟暮的感觉，没法看得很投入，缺少刺激和感动的感受。老东木也不再适合当主演了，已经缺乏力量感了，感觉比《骡子》里的他还要迟缓一些。
没想到这竟然还会拍2，没想到2的剧情比1弱智这么多😐
就是说分了两个中午当下饭电影看完的，属于那种看到开头就猜到了结尾。唯一精彩的地方可能就在于Lurch的钢琴曲那一段吧。希望Adams家族能再邪恶一点。
公路+温情的题材是东木所擅长的，但整个故事过于不疾不徐，而且明显感到老爷子的力不从心，观众始终为其捏一把汗，更别提要把眼前这个孱弱的身体和昔日的牛仔形象联想到一起，千钧一发之际还是公鸡拯救了他们，确实有点想哭泣了。
这一部不是那种老少咸宜的动画电影……自觉没什么意思……
《廊桥遗梦之千里寻子》，美国人看墨西哥就像我们看朝鲜一样。
different就是Addams多出来的那个d
