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".
还是那个问题 情动机制在于召唤肉身 就像替身演员只能拍远景和背影 你无法用他们替代本尊 如果要替代 也要找一个量级的 比如当年用顾冠忠替徐少强 不然 你还真当观众是皮格马利翁呐？
我看的是225分钟的导演剪辑版，比剧场版多了88分钟，分为五集播出。
女主侧脸梅艳芳，笑起来满岛光，真的蛮靓的。
古天乐演梅艳芳的服装设计师Eddie，很多镜头都挺感人。
雖然昨晚一開始我也是帶著批判的眼光去看的 然而當你真的坐進電影院裡看到那些你所經歷過的歷史片段重現在眼前 所有的拍攝手法選角演技都變成了一種宣洩的方式而已 看完電影眼淚都沒擦乾就迫不及待地跟朋友說我現在特別理解為什麼父母一輩的人對「革命」的電影特別有感觸 因為當一個你經歷過並深深眷戀的時代被搬上大螢幕後 回憶帶著洶湧澎湃的情緒就會向你撲面而來
王丹妮演年轻时期还过得去，但到了中后期，一点没演出大姐大的豪爽侠气。整体叙述也过于流水账了，又太小心翼翼。过多引用资料画面，过于取巧，也拉低了电影质感，能不能学学《波西米亚狂想曲》，完美复制的演出现场让人热血沸腾。情怀加持三星吧。
主要是梅姐魅力大～歌好听
4）其实吧，梅艳芳生命中很多重要的人都没有出现。不过，如果人的一生是一部纪录片，总有些人是用胶片镜头都拍不出的深刻，浓墨重彩提及反而落了下乘。
这选角不行啊 长得和金星似的 没有梅艳芳的神韵
希望现在某些饭圈的脑残粉好好看看这部电影 懂得什么星值得追
4 除了对近藤真彦化名化处理及美化之外，其他并没有什么不适之处，毕竟影片是对梅姑的一个回忆，一篇传记，而不是其他什么。但是我觉得应该适当加大对梅姑姐妹的刻画，以及梅姑和张国荣之间友情的刻画，另外张国荣的演员选的也太不像本人了。电影采取了一种最原始的平铺直叙，直白的把整个经过给表现出来，但后半部分尤其是接近高潮的时候还是很容易让人落泪的，不喧宾夺主，不过度煽情，不跳戏串戏，以及适当的还原当年的名场面以及用真实的纪录原样代替真人出场的形式，其实影片做的已经挺好的了。最后的夕阳之歌很应景，为影片做了一个还算行的，直白普遍的谢幕。
说电影不像电影，说纪录片不像纪录片，会走进去看的必然都是带着情怀的，所以不管拍得是否符合自己的期待都想看，也是第一次在影院看到所有人直到屏幕完全结束播放才离场，大家好像在等什么，但这一次的“再见”只有在心中回荡。——2021.11.13（个人觉得王丹妮的重现还可，蛮有范儿，但张国荣的选角实在欣赏不来）
2.音乐选得好，安排的节奏时间点也好。
11-13 流水账一样的，但是本身对她的经历不了解所以当做科普简单看看了。
作为电影来说比较乏善可陈，基本上就是一个加了滤镜版的百度百科的生动版演绎。但的确能够勾起不少我们这一代听港乐长大的人的记忆，对里面的歌手、音乐都耳熟能详，也让人想起初中的那一天从报纸中看到梅姐去世的消息的那个瞬间。让人不出戏主要归功于梅姐的演员选得不错，选角的难度在最开始就知道会有多大，这种表现真是远超预期了，有几个瞬间真的有种灵魂附体的感觉。
香港后生已经唔识梁朝伟了，边个又愿记住梅艳芳。梅艳芳开口唱《心债》时我就开始喊，是站在结局望住起点。想起梅姐徒弟hcc唱的“若是没有这意外也许经已快乐地重回平淡家中等你”。两个钟看的非戏，是自己卅几年来时路的回望，尝尽了失意的我将一切都褪去，再到这风中心中竟仿似伤痕累累，但我信我会走得更好。
舞台仍犹在，不见故人来。
22'形象设计古天乐登场
人物浮於表（毫無靈魂的Anita）流水線的劇情也真的很難打動人 煽情全靠以前的素材和歌🥺哥哥葬禮的時候配樂一出瘋狂掉淚🥺😣但很無語的是矮化哥哥形象 電影里甚至看著有點懦弱 …梅姐也沒有大姐大的氣勢…各種化名不說還要給近藤真彥這個世紀大爛貨塑造什麼深情浪漫人設 我直呼🆘
11-13 流水账一样的，但是本身对她的经历不了解所以当做科普简单看看了。
