剧情介绍

The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years. At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with. But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood. I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential. by D.R.

    分给低了。古田新太的演技真的很棒。好久没看到这么棒的日影了。有一幕店长当便当店给错了便当而崩溃这种小事,在这之前他已经自责内疚压抑到不行,一边发疯把便当扔满地,又狠狠骂完对方再给对方道歉。承受了太多痛苦,只需要一件让他崩溃的小事就能彻底击倒他。真的是压死骆驼的最后一根稻草。还有一幕老师说,有时候可能自己真的努力了,但是外界看不到自己在努力并不代表自己没有努力啊。感慨真的很深。

    最大的触动是无法传达的爱和一根筋一样的固执,充满毒性。父亲在看到和女儿一样的画作时候留下的那一滴泪,充满悔恨,但他所造成的漩涡却让更多的人的生活再也回不去了。我们生活在一个充满矛盾的世界,即便是善良的善意,也非常让人疲惫。电影似乎在忧伤中诠释着这样的理念。

    其实剧情节安排确实很刻意,在闭锁的时空里上演着确实已经算得上是烂俗的戏码。但是我觉得日本电影就厉害在这里,能把一个故事的每个角落都剖出来,把每个细腻的点都抓住,把复杂矛盾的心绪抽丝剥壳条条理清。

    电影《空白》突显现代人与人的关系、家庭羁绊与媒体的真实面目,什么是真的?谁是正义?思绪在意想不到的地方朝着危险方向上被放大,反映了现代社会。登场角色们,在爱和恨的尽头呈现出全体受害者与加害者的样子,将乍看愤世嫉俗的题材混用讽刺的黑色幽默的手法来描绘。 这一切的开端始于一个商店盗窃未遂事件,一名女中学生在超市的化妆品柜台被店主看到偷东西而逃离现场,但一出国道就发生车祸事故身亡。女学生的渔夫父亲添田充坚信“女儿不可能偷东西”,让怀疑加剧,并追捕了事故的相关人员。另一方面,由于父亲的压力与媒体报导的加温下,让事故契机的超市店主青柳直人,开车的女驾驶陷入混乱与自我否定。

    记录一起意外事件之后众人的反应,其中有很多关于离异单亲家庭对子女的伤害,社会新闻对个体的欺凌,以及日本独有的社会压力对个体的伤害……很写实,也很有看点,少见的日本电影模式,更加西化

    老生常谈且过于规整:无视霸凌的学校、没有好好倾听女) L心声的父亲、无形施压的新闻媒体、日本人骨子里被放大的罪感意识,成为连锁反应酿成- -系列悲剧。透过一-场本来可以从源头上避免的交通事故/社会事件,-定程度上反映了日本人的民族劣根性。最通透也最喜欢的角色是藤原季节。
