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".
这机器翻译的。。。
我曾经说过好几次，印度的电影就像咖喱牛肉，咖喱面，咖喱饭，咖喱羊肉，也许他不停的换食材，但是他的味道总有一致性，所有的电影都如此，如果说所有的印度宝莱坞电影是一个导演导的，我丝毫不会惊讶。中国是有很多烂片，但是最起码中国的好电影存在各种各样的风格，而印度的电影，几十年了，总有一种难以形容的统一灵魂，该怎么说呢，中二？可能不太恰当。
女主太美了，以前看《心甘情愿》的时候就很喜欢她的颜，这次有美艳服饰的加持就更加漂亮了。故事是满大女主的，总结来说，一个女人的成功， 首先是要有钱， 然而有权不仅可以带来钱，还能造就大多数的成功，说到底还是足够好的人脉。女主的表演真的可圈可点，93年的姑娘把一个刚毅的女性角色演绎的如此真实。之前的角色是外柔内刚，这部里则是明显的外刚内柔。
好电影有时是会刺痛人心的，被刺痛后才会反思。权利不是乞求来的，而是靠自己争取来甚至是抢来的。改变自己的命运固然令人钦佩，但能够改变或影响别人的命运才值得被人记住。
能量就要溢出屏幕了“你怎么一直在运动”“还有另一半成功”。不过整体叙事还是比较潦草，比起事业又更加强调爱情。
《要求xing工作合法化》才是点睛之笔，无论再怎么努力都无法改变
但卖淫合法化真的不行
还真是权利越大责任越大
在印度这片土地上，女孩注定被关进笼子，只是笼子也有了高低贵贱之分。甘古拜试图让被关进最低贱笼子的女人能呼吸，他们的后代能走出最低贱的笼子，虽然站在历史的洪流中俯视宛如螳臂当车，但是对于当时受到庇佑的人却改变了人生。一个人救不了所有搁浅的鱼，但是每一条被救的鱼都被挽救了生命。明明是浪把鱼拍到岸上，为什么受惩罚的是鱼？出卖头脑是出卖，出卖身体也是出卖，怎么和性挂钩就是肮脏下贱，为什么嫖客隐身妓女肮脏，不过就是男权的女体资源论而已。妓女至少比嫖客高贵多了，至于失足妇女这种高高在上的称呼，比起妓女还恶心。
So不可能同意“女权不彻底，等于彻底不女权”的
虽然是传记类的，但不得不说印度电影一言不合就跳舞的固定情节依然是逃脱不掉。
电影质感不错，很规整优质的商业片，但剧情还是偏爽文了，背后的成果是离不开女主的经营与大众的响应，但那个拉拉大哥又能何处寻呢？文案写的很精彩，台词吊打现在的国产剧
太流水了 一部印度大女主爽剧 里面的黑帮大佬简直就是个小天使
其实剧本一般，但印度有这个意识还是不容易，加一星
一个心中没有自己，却装着他人和天下的女人，注定是不败的，亦注定是孤独的。
看完这部印度2022年票房冠军电影的7月21日，印度民主联盟推选的候选人莫尔穆当选印度第15任总统，其成为印度第二位女总统，也是第一位出身部落地区的总统。印度总统与德国总统一样，没有实权。电影质量很高，但是里面有屎，过度美化了jn转型片区老鸨的过程，与多名黑社会、政坛老大之间的x交易避而不谈，推动my合法化，从一个被压迫的受害者变成看似无害实则心机颇深的施害者。女主角的所作所为，不过是深谙印度社会的道，完成一场逐利为己的生意罢了。
女主也太美了 给这部片子增加了感官体验 idea很棒 但是感觉有很多想要表达的点没讲清楚
本片最主要的思想还是女权 但是尽管时长将近3小时却仍然不够深刻 所谓妓女在社会上遇到的不公基本没怎么通过镜头展现 全都让女主给说出来了而已 太浮于表面的女权思想了 除此之外这片压根不算什么“屌丝逆袭” 就是单纯传记电影罢了 我本来想的是妓女本身就属于灰色地带的职业 使其合法化实在离谱但是想到印度的情况好像也还算是合理的 能看出来全片基本都是在摄影棚拍摄的 很多地方灯光打的都太不自然 电影的质感是很不戳的 但是因为打光的布置 我总有在看情景喜剧的错觉
6.8
《甘古拜·卡蒂娅瓦迪》是一部让人颇难评价的电影：洗白妓女或者卖淫当然是不对，没有买卖就没有伤害，她鼓吹合法化是不对的。但是在哪个年代，她能以类似工会的方式为妓女争取最大权益，帮助尽量多受苦的女性也值得佩服。
