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.
anyway,再给麦姐一座小金人吧,演的实在太好了orz
Dedicated to the one who had to depart,see you down the road. 配乐真是神来之笔。
自由 国人不会那么感同身受的, 许知远的十三邀里说, 他们那个年代让父母参与自己的婚姻相亲什么的, 那得都丢人 。 不是强调孰优孰劣, 而是不同从一开始就存在了。

有趣的是,片中讲到那些创造了美国的伟大精神,先进沦为边缘,无依无靠,而这样一个故事的叙述者,来自外来移民。
很沉重,有关失去和破碎的一个故事,不是压抑,也不是黑色,就是很沉重,其中又似乎隐藏着某种希望。就像我们眼中的生活,少有起承转合,缺乏戏剧冲突,但如果跳出来看,都很沉重。看完之后作为观众的我如鲠在喉,不知该如何形容我的感受,如果一部电影用几个镜头就能表达出几百字几千字也形容不明白的情绪,那这一定是一部好电影,这也是电影这门艺术存在的意义,《无依之地》就是一部这样的电影。

我们有多孤独,就有多自由。非常私人化的体验,钢琴曲像梦呓一般。总有一天,我们会再相逢。See you down the road.
观影其实是很私密化的体验,如果它能够让我relate,那么对于我来说就是一部好电影。《无依之地》前面1小时20分钟我都是跟在大片留白的剧情后面,偶尔被细节或台词触动,而从Fern离开Dave家的那一刻开始,我开始和她一起上路了。一个人吹着海风,和路上遇到的朋友聊过往,走向未知,孤独但自由。We don’t settle. See you down the road.
影片最后的字幕:献给那些无法停下脚步的人,我们路上再见~
跟马力克比还是差了。比较出彩的部分是偏纪录片的一些片段,借了所谓的真实力量的光。那些所谓马力克式的镜头和剪辑、凝视镜头、科恩嫂的表演,都是按照独立电影的教科书拍法,靠着配乐制造情绪。
you can stay here. no I have to do laundry.

Stunningly beautiful
想看这部现象级电影很久了,刚看完忽而发觉今天是妇女节。美丽的意外。

对话写得太好了,几个配角的对白都令人落泪。个体叙事高于一切。
女主说出新年快乐的时候真是感觉2021年的第一天看到这样的电影真美好。
