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.
二十五年长梦醉，
香党心情复杂，另外实时渲染的CG还是满突兀的
心情复杂，但都要说了一句，再见了，全部的EVA。庵野这个剧场我个人看法是不负责的，将TV坑填了，但这些我们都知道了，从Q开始的高潮戏打戏都没再现TV、真心为你的质感，画面就一个乱，EVA全部无双，观感太差了。而且真希波根本就没塑造好，就一工具人，结果是与真嗣一对？你不想认真，不想对之前观众负责写好故事，拍好电影，你就直说，不要拍就是了吧。观众不需要从EVA解脱，不要将责任推给观众，庵野不好好拍，你不负责，你才是巨婴吧！旧TV，旧剧场，序，破我觉得永远五星。
回忆杀！我发现许多情节我至今都历历在目。并且传统sitcom真的是一种结合戏剧、standup comedy和电视的一种arts，挺有技术含量的，也非常适合人来疯，感觉是个dream job。
（终于完结了。虽然有前情提要，但我完全想不起来剧情。作画构图没得说，还是很有质感，看着就很烧钱。开头的战斗还是很有调调的。明日香是暴露狂嘛？凌波丽突然爆裂成水。量产机密集恐惧症。空降战斗场面堪称艺术品。后面的战斗就很意识流了。明日香跟别人跑了。最后有一段线稿是什么意思？结尾从动画走进了现实，真的完结了。最后陪着男主的居然是真希波。ED还挺好听的，但感觉风格不太像EVA。）
感慨岁月留下的痕迹，依然艳羡而感动，于这份乌托邦式的友谊，与这样的久别重逢。能在全世界范围内为这么多人带来欢笑与力量，这是太了不起的成就了。
主持无趣，无关嘉宾无趣，谁关心贝克汉姆爱看哪集？6人table read给我来一季行吗，每集来一个guest star来一起聊天也行啊~除了6人和惊喜guest star真是乱七八糟，但。。。他们6个可真好啊~
从大家进片场开始就忍不住流下了怀旧的泪水。Ross第一个走进Stage 24，所有回忆都如他所说的一样flash back in my mind。里头摆放着Joey和钱钱公寓里的按摩椅、Central Perk里的橙色大沙发，所有的一切都是十七年前的模样。大家重新聚在Mon家，仿佛十七年后的他们只是又回了一趟家的感觉。RR那一段台词对戏，就好像时光交错的两个人在隔空对话。We channeled our love into Ross and Rachel真的好好哭，但能以这种方式拥有过彼此也足矣。不过比较担心chan chan的身体状况，重聚的时候看上去不太精神。总而言之，是这群演员塑造了我在friends中遇见的每一个角色。最后就只希望大家都身体健康！
mon向chandler求婚那里真的看一次感动一次
虽没有追完老友记，看到他们重聚坐一起，也是憋不住老泪纵横。
「There we were in our 20s in New York, trying to make a living and find love. It's about that time in your life when your friends are your family.」❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
这么个访谈的模式其实和我想象中的不太一样。当年给我留下很深印象的一集是，六个人一起围在桌前，回忆自己的30岁生日是怎么过的。面对不可阻挡的自然规律，每个人都有各自的应对方式，共同的感慨是年华易逝。那么多年之后，能就着这个场景续写一段小故事，就真的是太好了。
虽没有追完老友记，看到他们重聚坐一起，也是憋不住老泪纵横。
不必抬高期望，本来就是去年华纳为了给HBO Max造势才计划制作的，虽然推迟了一年但也还是匆忙潦草。幕后主创回忆的选角花絮大多都是12年纪录片的重复，加塞了一些乱七八糟的人，环节也很流水，甚至不如Will and Grace大选特辑来得有诚意。确实很想吐槽，但是你看着这些熟悉又老去的面孔，重聚在一起，说着那些大家烂熟于心的台词，欢笑落泪，又觉得什么都能原谅了。回到S1E1，Monica或许早就预言了这次reunion，“It sucks and you’re gonna love it.”致最后一次重聚。
这是专属的，拍给老友记影迷看的。
【我印象里大概12年开始，每年都有流言老友记重聚，信源一般还都是Gunther。几乎每次都是Ross辟谣，算了吧，又老又丑的，别破坏观众的回忆了。】该死，明明知道是商业营销还是看得鸡皮疙瘩
虽然在心底知道他们并非真正地在现实中成了朋友，他们的重聚只是为了每人几百万的出场费，这次重聚，他们遮不住的隔阂，时有时无的疏远，我看在眼里了，但看到他们坐在一起，躺在一张沙发上，还是很感动，有些东西就是献给回忆的，老友记的魅力就是这么强。很糟糕，但你会爱死它的，就像生活。
－是啊，听说它曾经风靡一时。
最后的时候马修派瑞说的那个：如果派对上遇到了另外5个中的谁，那个派对就结束了，因为整晚都会坐在那个人旁边。
看什么都打不起精神来了
