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".

    近几年最让我失望的斯皮尔伯格。暂且不说是否看过原版吧,单就歌舞片最基本的代入感和沉浸感,这部电影就完全让我感受不到。就更不用说故事本身就是一个老到牙都掉光的地步。主人公感情线不合理也就算了,主要是两个主人公的存在感居然可以这么低,还不如女主的哥哥和嫂子让人印象深刻,最起码哥嫂二人在纽约街头的拉丁热舞真的是够调动情绪的。但是讲真的,硬件是真的没话说,服化道以及整部电影的场面调度,绝对是一流水平。

  • 徭鸿煊 4小时前 :

    每一部西区故事都是Anita传,顾名思义除了Anita其他基本都是垃圾。以为原版男女主之间的龃龉和脚演技已经够糟糕了,新版男女主真的讨厌升级,电影演员最怕人丑胆子大演俊男美女,雪上加霜的是俊男美女配上原版就不讨喜的智障人设,他俩出现在我眼前的每一秒都是对我人生的糟践。斯皮尔伯格的摄影和调度每一帧都写满了我厉不厉害,可惜成熟(注意是成熟不是优秀)的技巧加在一滩屎身上也只会让人更反感这滩屎,至于音乐剧层面我已经完全忽略了。

  • 佑中 5小时前 :

    调度,镜头,歌舞场面惊为天人,故事真的是无聊透了,讲的全是作为观众的我们不关心的事儿。

  • 喆升 4小时前 :

    罗密欧与朱丽叶中“错手杀死”变成了“怒火寻仇”,让之后的发展变得难以接受,男女主的演绎也让人错乱。场景很美,镜头也很美,但是这个故事在这版演绎下一塌糊涂。

  • 冉痴香 9小时前 :

    【B+】无非再度证明一个事实:斯皮堡仍然是当下好莱坞里最懂得如何制造「奇观」的电影作者。既然我们都知道原版《西区故事》的剧情有多无语,为何还要继续在乎它?不如心安理得,让所有人成为场面调度的提线木偶!影像必然要凌驾于歌舞之上,从第一幕便可知晓:与原版单调的城市全景相悖,在镜头的运动过程中景别持续变换,观感必须时刻新鲜又无法预测。也正是如此音乐与舞蹈所强调的节奏感才能成立,因为影像也随之起舞,无论是摄影机与角色之间的游离关系,还是取代棚拍感的奢侈布景,当然也包括中段火并前曼妙的平行剪辑。不仅仅只是奇观的堆叠,斯皮堡甚至替观众找到了进入故事的途径,某些瞬间我居然能收获感动而非煎熬(除了结局女主的表演,终究无法用调度为其开脱)。既然我能热爱《世界之战》,那《西区故事》又为何不可?

  • 剑晨轩 3小时前 :

    看这个电影之前是没有报多大期待的,几年前看过60年代那一版的《西区故事》电影,我记得里面械斗的部分用舞蹈演绎的非常精彩,当时让我感觉到了一种不一样的魅力。但是这一版改成了真实械斗而不是舞蹈化演绎,有点可惜。我挺喜欢拉着布料当裙子那一幕这一版也没有了,细碎的来说,还是有很多细节的变化的。但是我真的很喜欢这部电影,我被整个表演和情节给打动了,甚至在看的时候完全忘记了时间的流逝,看完才发现这个电影居然有两个半小时,在剧情转折的时候,电影的视听表现非常打动我,所有的情绪都让我极其带入角色,很棒!

  • 慕盼晴 8小时前 :

    好想打1颗星,基本完全照着原来的版本复刻来的,不知道它翻拍的必要在哪。对了,店主新的设定为一位女性,也许有新的表达,但我完全没有耐心。在前不久错看了老版还必须看完,所以忍受了2个多小时之后,这个新版几乎每一分钟都挑起我的怒火。跳啊得再好看表演再热辣,也显得虚假。WOT

  • 振畅 5小时前 :

    让我在两星和三星间纠结就足够说明问题了,哥嫂cp值得所有的赞美,2021年真的不要再拍罗密欧朱丽叶了,男主杀了女主哥哥然后的床戏让我想冲出电影院

  • 孟希蓉 5小时前 :

    "Everything changed in America, except nothing changed in America."

  • 卫世浩 5小时前 :

    太难看了,除了服装之外一无是处啊。故事本身已经看烦了,还找这么难看演技差没有存在感的男主来演。中间哥嫂那段街头热舞之后立刻接上男主那张脸,视觉对比太强烈了,到了难以忍受的程度。没能看完。而且我也不太明白,我不是不能看歌舞片的人,反而很爱看歌舞片,为什么唯独这一部给我这么强的违和感,通篇感觉不是实景拍摄像是在舞台上表演。这是故意的吗?但效果并不好啊。

  • 卫粉利 8小时前 :

    两星完全是看在绝美敬业的配角和群演的面子上给的。对斯皮尔伯格太过生气以至于都不想点赞那几个不错的镜头了。。。看到有人提他上一部作品是18年的头号玩家,让我和陆女士瞬间一阵头晕目眩“are you f.king kidding me”我甚至刚才还在吐槽为什么不让头号玩家的男主过来演啊!某bully唱得那么差还两眼无神完全不入戏,我这简直花钱找罪受来了。。。

  • 强振 0小时前 :

    虽然是罗密欧朱丽叶的故事,但实在太差了,老气又过时,60s的唱腔也经不起时间检验,大部分时候不知道大家在干嘛(why is anybody doing anything?)俗套的一见钟情,你哥刚被他捅死了还能跟这个才认识几天的人搞在一起,帮派斗争让人想说get a life get a job plz...多一星给i feel pretty 和Anita的America。

  • 况後书桃 8小时前 :

    6.5/ 恋爱脑女主 冲动小白脸男主 尬的不行的trans 白男核心的身份认同 是时代的肤浅缩影 新瓶旧酒似乎也没在新时代给人更多的印象与思考

  • 季贞婉 7小时前 :

    音乐非常一般。大概是我看过音乐剧里音乐最平的一部。看完完全记不住任何旋律。剧情而言,这样古典色彩的桥段放在现代框架背景下真的格格不入。好几次男女主深情对唱我都觉得好尴尬…主角也是完全不出彩。比较喜欢开头那一段边跳舞边搞破坏,既优雅又街头的感觉。

  • 所绮梅 0小时前 :

    抛开政治正确滤镜,对于导演本人之外毫无意义的一次翻拍——无论在戏剧改编还是电影升级层面。如果斯皮尔伯格或任何创作决策者肯将西语去字幕化的政治嗅觉灵光度拿出一半用在视听上,恐怕也不会呈现各式镜头被60多年前旧作吊打的窘境。

  • 卫浩洋 9小时前 :

    作为歌舞片音乐难听是原罪,且主演演技真的不行,后半程的情节也太搞了吧。IMDb 7.5 分是咋来的?难道是原版音乐剧情怀加持?问题是如果原版也是这情节,那也太烂了吧。这片能提名奥斯卡 BP 真的搞笑,不过我怎么有种感觉它还真能得奖呢

  • 扶兰月 5小时前 :

    真的就 不好看,要不是这剧和导演的名气,我想我是不会看的。唯一的印象点是感觉记忆深处有那么点似曾相识的America,还有Glee中听过的I Feel Pretty(可能首因效应吧,我还是觉得Glee的改编版好听)。

  • 卫炯宽 4小时前 :

    Spielberg经典重现 “你们不要再打啦”

  • 卯湛芳 6小时前 :

    这是个什么鬼?恋爱脑男女主和他们的冤种哥哥和哥们儿?女主把认识两天的爱情看得比亲情都重要?新添的文戏有啥用?每一个配角都比主角好。斯皮尔伯格其实导得还可以,镜头什么的四平八稳,但大可不比整一部苦情虐恋街头版罗密欧与朱丽叶,并且还有不配字幕的西语。顺便一提,服装挺出彩。

  • 宛幼珊 6小时前 :

    男主角每次唱歌我都在吐血,这不是LA La Land那种伪歌舞片,好歹也是大美利坚国粹吧。专业活太业余就算了,这对男女化学反应也为零。但老斯的镜头调度和舞者们的表现都是行业标杆,被两粒老鼠屎给…
