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".
不求尽如人意，只求无愧于心。
没想到看个动画片也要带纸巾，剧情非常工整，每个情节都不出意料，但线索铺得高级且克制，画面堪称光线大师。最珍贵的是，我们很久没看到一个真实的中国城市出现在屏幕上了，荔枝湾、芳村地铁站、红木棉市花都是真的，舞狮文化、留守儿童、工伤、一闪而过的富士康厂服也是真的，有这片子是广州之幸。
最近看过最恶心的片子。1.片中女性绝对无法通过森真子、性感台灯测试。2.坐豪车的女主对打工男主说你是被英雄花砸中的人，我和朋友直接笑出声。3.无处不在的外貌羞辱，还自以为幽默。4.太阳刚了，不适合娘炮、男同、第二性别人观看。
第三幕我给满分，真厉害！
印度版辩护人，四星给题材。如很多影评所言，就电影题材而言，印度早就甩我们几条街了，有教育制度，种姓制度，反抗体制权威，反抗宗教等等。
这个简介太不走心了吧
整个故事比较套路化，有点工业流水线产品的味道，但是为不公抗争的故事永远值得歌颂
太多剧情都不合逻辑，完全是为了主题硬凑，这先不提。最严重的是没有一个人物的动机是成立的，主角到底为了什么去舞狮根本没说清，一开始说不想被欺负，中间又说想让爸妈看到自己，最后看到女孩有男朋友又失落？合着你是为了女孩才舞狮？阿猫阿狗的动机呢？一个为了看美女，一个为了吃饭，后面也不说了。同村的舞狮队的行为也是前后矛盾的。
狮头里主观视角望出去的一线天地，摩天大楼挨挨挤挤间的一缕朝阳，下下铺板条割出的一方逼仄，这就是病猫们努力生存的空间，在遥远的梦想和困窘的现实之间做两难选择——然而仅那一束窄窄的光，一串激昂的鼓点，就足以支撑起这些失意的无名之辈越上高阶；无疑具有港式小人物励志风味，咸鱼如何翻身，梦想怎么达成，在生活洪流中不由自主的我辈是否能安身，最终以兼有现实意义的笔触和携有夸张戏谑的写意合力完成热血输出，这些或许并不独创的元素被糅进一个张弛有度的故事，很有看头。
粤语版极佳。狮头虽然挂在擎天柱上，但现实却还是让你跌入水中。哎，底色还是小人物的困苦，无奈和悲哀。
真特么操蛋 看完我都忘了大圣归来 哪吒 姜子牙 熊出没那些长什么样了 如果那些片子卖十个亿起步 那么这个片子卖多少我真的说不准 有可能一塌糊涂 （不希望看到所谓的卖惨营销） 要笑
平平无奇的前一小时，让我完全没想到自己走出影院时会如此喜欢这部电影。
只有后20分钟能称得上“好看”两个字，但是电影是一个需要连贯表达的，只有20分钟是好看的电影属实称不上是一个“好电影”，营销可以入选中国新媒体营销诈骗实录top10。我又被骗到了
前阵子豆瓣一下子出现了好几部高分片，《倒数时刻》《芬奇》，包括这一本。是今年内地引进片又少又拉跨，还是压抑的环境所致，上述三部都完完全全是1.0的东西，竟然还能有接近神作的评分，《杰伊·比姆》甚至接近9分，最原始的以弱胜强，能够博取绝大多数人的心，就像春上说的“鸡蛋去碰石头，我永远站在鸡蛋这一边”，《杰伊·比姆》就是这样一个故事，且完成度不错，逻辑自洽，一切都刚刚好，不差也没有惊喜。
全片正是一种周星驰叙事与一种现实叙事的反复激荡，正如阿娟一次次得到又失去、戴上又摘下的狮头，正如每个小人物都曾在脑海中发生过的挣扎。
印度律师为被冤枉偷窃的人伸张正义，种姓制度依然根深蒂固
第三幕我给满分，真厉害！
没找到好的翻译，观感体验很差，需要了解一下印度的背景知识才能看懂
所以结局才那么好，在割裂中找到平衡。狮头挂在那里，生活依旧，梦却也在延续。
值得去影院贡献下票房，周星驰、五条人、九连真人……虽然优缺点都非常明显，而如何平衡故事与技术上的差距依旧是国产动画的漫漫长路；后半段优于前半段，特别是少年推开天台的门开始，一气呵成。到最后，总是哭着求神拜佛的少年终于化为雄狮，上山下山，路自在脚下。
