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".
天才数学家、师生情谊、韩式青春校园、南北关系的混合，虽然剧本很老套但发现自己很吃温情这一套。片中反应的数学教育和研究的问题，让我深有感触，全都把数学作为达成目的的工具，反而少有人发现她的美。天才就应该在与世无争的环境中去尽情施展才华。电影把数学和音乐结合起来，不说教的展现数学的魅力可圈可点；老戏骨和新生代演员的对戏也是看点。
“奇怪国家”这个设定，在电影里形同虚设，尤其对数学家这个人物并没有产生什么和其他人截然不同的影响，几处反映都蜻蜓点水，有点为了贴题而刻意架构有关情节的意思。整体没有什么惊喜。
后半段有点尴尬了……但仍然是一个比较舒服的电影。第一次巴赫那个曲子出现我都不知道是啥就哭了，老年痴呆愈发严重。
神奇动物以及每个角色间的羁绊越发动人，而这一次的动作场面绝对算得上精彩绝伦！此外，一些幽默桥段以及悬疑戏份直接将影片的趣味性和节奏感拉满！再一次深陷魔法世界！期待续集～
看到互摸心脏那里我还以为在看同人。。。看得出来罗阿姨也在嗑，剧情都不重要了
一帮数学最不好的人扮演数学家，拍给另一帮数学也不好的人看。
这片去哪找这么多见都没见过的十八线演员啊，A Fine Frenzy这妆容真是绝了，第一集像30岁，第二集像40岁，这集像快接近60了的老巫婆，小雀斑这癫痫式演技看得让人想抽他两巴掌，罗琳大婶的脑残剧本和叶茨废物的平庸导演水平简直绝配，很难让人不怀疑这两人私下有一腿。
故事结构能联想到闻香识女人，长者以万钧之势托举年青，也从中获取救赎。任何学科的尽头都是哲学，设计这种学术元素的电影给普通人看时，哲学式的对白会很好用。另外这两年我隐隐觉得韩国影视好像很喜欢给角色戴高帽子，为提振国民自信，主角动不动就自带某种世界级角逐的天赋，现实中的各项大奖仿佛也予取予求，毫不在乎可信性。
爬行动物很可爱好吧！谁说它们丑啊，我捶他(｀⌒´メ)！蜘蛛可爱，蛇蛇可爱，鳄鱼可爱，哥斯拉也很可爱啊！为什大家不懂爬宠的可爱啊！
“大家猜猜我帽子底下邪恶丑陋的东西是什么？”“我猜是你的脸🙄”。整部动画都很澳！
单片质量好坏倒不是关键，关键是很多奇葩设定会严重影响整个系列。比如想到哈利波特里阿不思最喜欢跟小男生挤眉弄眼，本来一副老顽童的可爱，现在倒变成可怖了。5
凸凹的口音真的是游离于英美之外的第三种English Maddie本来就很美啊！喜欢一些漂亮的蛇蛇🥰
一般韩影会仅仅局限于前半截“打鸡血”，会草草地讲一个“扫地僧”跟贫民子弟结缘、贫民子弟成绩一路飙升最后拿下“毕达哥拉斯竞赛”金奖的故事，了不起所有观众一起亢奋一番，表现并不会比印度早期励志片更出色，总之，止于“鲤鱼跳龙门”的阶层跃升，不会深入分析身份设定的细节、亦不会质询数学天才落难的事由，很多支线浅尝辄止，唯恐把摊子铺太大。本片不一样。本片是良心叙事、没有放弃任何一条支线：“何以脱北叛逃”的意识形态之争、教育系统内部腐败的利益之争、资源分配不公的贫富之争以及数学与艺术之间的共通性等议题的探讨无一不是好的观念的回响；“欧拉公式”之美、巴赫乐谱之美以及钢琴所演泽的常数之美是主客体交互中自由流运的抽象之美，一切又是人对客观事物的观照，足以见其人文、人本精神。相比制造一个奇观，本片更关心人的本身。
快乐又温馨的爆米花电影；很澳洲；拟人化做得好棒，喜欢诗意的蝎子Nigel；可爱又迷人的“反派”考拉让人不得不想到《咱们裸熊》（但后来人设还是逐渐鲜明）；以及中文译名实在是驴头不对马嘴......
鲨鱼牙齿上的藤壶能把密集恐惧症逼死；

两星半，第一部在差和还行间犹豫，好多招都太老套了。但那段演奏圆周率确实打动人。咱们这边完全可以翻拍啊，只要把脱北者那段背景刨掉。夜叉和这片，都特别行活，但不知道咱这边能不能做出这种行活。
想象力还是蛮丰富的，不过这JK罗琳的世界更适合孩子和女性，浪漫主义过头了。
太好看了！！！真的超级超级可爱 😻，只要有可爱就够了，而且超级搞笑，完全笑到停不下来，最后还有Mad Max😂。澳洲真的大毒物奇多，而且天下奇毒。这个动物园原型貌似离我住的地方很近，但是我还从来没去过，我也从来没有见过考拉，汗～～～听说考拉真的很mean，主要是因为桉叶有毒
哈哈哈…尬笑住。
