剧情介绍

  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".

    按枭雄片的拍法来做家庭片,偏执屌丝带着全家逆袭的大爽文,为了冲奖夹带一些相对生硬又不太落地的政治元素,不过我觉得还是挺好看的,但我没看过《摔跤吧爸爸》所以没法对比,以后以后看完《摔》再看看需不需要调整评分。这片受众本来就是给望子成龙的父母看的,蛊惑性还可以,适合给想培养出下一代谷爱凌的中国家长们放给子女看哈

  • 帆采 6小时前 :

    也很喜欢Serena和父亲Richard赛场后的那场戏,着墨不多,但是非常非常有必要

  • 丁俊风 0小时前 :

    美国的传记电影好在愿意把主角的争议摆出来而不是一味高大上。另外,那些花钱把小孩送进各种培训班却坐在外面玩手机的家长真应该向人家学一下,你要求小孩变成什么样的人,首先你要成为这样的人。

  • 旗卿月 8小时前 :

    感動得一蹋糊塗!讓我醬完全不懂網球的人都迷上大小威廉了!!理查是偉大的,偉大在他是真的啥都知道。他一家子牛逼烘烘的像是自大得無比自信,他卻自己明白謙虛的重要;彷彿一切真在他掌握中,他的計畫書是神的計畫書。無論再有天賦我們還是要努力呀諸君!!

  • 勤嘉平 9小时前 :

    威廉·史密斯的网坛运动番。看过几部运动番就知道这种类型影片的套路燃点,习惯就好(反正再出格也出不到哪去)一些感觉只有真正运动过的人才懂,导演也没有什么很特别的美学在里面,蛮看就完事了。不过看片名就知道肯定是个正能量故事片,当你人生昏暗的时候~一定要坚持下去~

  • 公叔痴柏 4小时前 :

    他有五个女儿,他在保护女儿,远离小流氓的骚扰。他在保护女儿,远离贫穷的禁锢。他在保护女儿,远离利益的驱使。他在保护女儿,远离金钱的定价。

    为什么老是扫别人的兴

  • 怀清润 6小时前 :

    典型的被美化的商业冲奥片,聚焦的人物有点混乱,与其说是传记片,不如说是家庭片,整体结构四平八稳,没大问题。时代背景加诸他们身上的,是肤色与体育之间的政治经济关系。

  • 心俊 8小时前 :

    If I gotta be brutally honest (and I will), 我对洪尚秀实在喜欢不起来,也感受不到金敏喜在本片里美/出彩在哪里。

  • 戊圣杰 8小时前 :

    该如何看待影片与现实的互文呢?如果观众相信“我爱你”是在撒狗粮,“浪费生命”是在反讽并鲜明地表达自我态度,“故事不需要引人入胜的情节”是创作观,那么,“我写不出来了,大概是江郎才尽吧”就也应该被视为夫子自道。在我看来,这个说法和他近年的持续高产也并不矛盾,更进一步说,因为独此一份,所以他拍得好或不好,也已经没有那么重要了。

  • 初骏 1小时前 :

    知道名字叫理查德,但是没办法还是想看大威小威,虽然她们充当了背景板。世界前二,多次女单决赛对决是她们,女双冠军是她们,还能有这样的传奇吗。

  • 丰夏青 5小时前 :

    非常坚定乐观的父亲,但感觉女儿的戏份有些少了

  • 夷烨熠 8小时前 :

    另外,两个女孩对于黑人种族的意义也只是在嘴上跑火车而已,强行生化主题的套路。

  • 夫美华 4小时前 :

    在成功励志与成长温情的主线下,还夹带了种族议题与阶层关切,《国王理查德》虽然没有突破传记片的常规模式,仍不失为一部精彩好看的电影。

  • 弭念双 1小时前 :

    别拦我 我要去打球!大小威是厉害 不过这个爹实在太manipulative了 吓人

  • 旁驰月 5小时前 :

    看得太累了,两个半小时的老套流水账。最精彩的是片尾纪录片片段和碧昂丝歌声的串剪。运动不运动,家庭不家庭,种族不种族,女权不女权。镜头也平淡。史皇的发挥,好但不优秀。只是这题材太适合冲奥罢了。

  • 尔晶滢 0小时前 :

    也就得亏成功了,不然就是满嘴跑火车的父权专制自负狂,而且能成功也是因为姐妹俩是真的强有天赋。

  • 吴雪绿 7小时前 :

    奥斯卡最佳影片提名,大威小威的励志成长故事,很好看的电影,威尔史密斯表演很出色,为了冲击奥斯卡真是拼了,但似乎有点过头。

  • 向朋兴 8小时前 :

    真就是为了得奖而去的,在我看来,充满了各种正确,但主人翁成功了,电影也成功了,有什么好说的?
