- 简介：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. SHIMON@lounge.moviecodec.com

lixin 129.120.208.10466：搬到银幕的话剧.国产自动加一星 -
且听蝎吟 170.65.103.216其实整部剧架构实在很一般，剧情也只是平平，只不过加了点怀旧因素就把这个味道调出来了。 -
如烟 162.245.62.4920151221 说实话这话剧就只有三星，改编成电影更是烂俗到无法直视。就如朱砂痣和饭米粒，蚊子血与白月光，如果只是要说这么个道理，几十年前张小姐已经完美的比喻过了。 -
挣不脱 175.24.108.122从前我就爱那么幻想，幻想着自己回到过去的某个时间点，改正过去犯下的错误，对喜欢的人勇敢大声地表白，再把过去的自己塑造成多么优秀的人，总认为那么做我会很快乐。这部电影给我了一个示范，抛开蝴蝶效应不说，也不见得就能多好。另外，这部电影的确三观有些不正，男主最后死黏着老婆也不是什么事。 -
澜 19.143.25.32真好看。又哭又笑。表现力好强啊。
