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.
为之心路，从迷茫到彷徨，再到绝望，涅槃。如此真实，如此而已
氛围感很好，国防部长的女儿是败笔，政府高官女儿同情黑人太假了。
呵呵，看看南非现在的样子，你们自由了，如愿了，可天堂实现了吗？
剧情看起来很眼熟，原来是《腐女子爱上Gay》的剧版。第一次看杏奈有恋爱戏份，没想到是人设是腐女（无效恋爱是了）。平时总饰演奇奇怪怪的角色，感觉走路都自带阴沉的气息，但是眼睛却一直是灵灵的。反观神尾，且不说是否比得上金子大地，演技是十年如一日地木。不是烂，虽然能哭能笑，但是角色一点生命力都没有，讲话也有气无力。剧本谈不上差，三浦演讲的部分还挺燃的，主要是安藤男友的设置太令人作呕。同性恋没问题，有毛病的是明知自己的性取向，却娶妻生子在外面和男人乱搞。PS:希望现在神尾不会一条内裤五天不换还反着穿了，讲点卫生吧，真的很心疼共演的女演员…
What’s the price of freedom?
自由是信仰之跃，要么下面有草堆和水，或者什么都没有…你会发现小伙神似曼德拉
看了一个半小时左右，剧情让我有点看不下去了，但是神尾枫珠真的好帅啊啊啊踩在我的审美点上！！
对照网友提供的事件真相，这电影改编很大，与真相相去甚远。特别是杜撰三人组释放所有人质，彰显MK的正义，就属于编造的谎言了。
在“白人至上主义盛行”的国度，黑人肯定是最低贱的，可就算你是身居高位的白人，如果出言不逊，想做埋汰主义的事，那也得死。
孩子啊，莫自责，莫强求，
居家的日子太适合看日本电影了 简简单单让人莫名平静 这部剧情有些超乎常理的电影居然看得有几分热血 关乎少年该如何面对真实的自己
自我感觉没有剧版拍的细腻，很多都一笔带过 而且这部剧无论如何也没办法理解男主和女主的一些想法 骗婚gay这辈子都不会原谅🙁
电影十分细腻，情节刻画的十分到位，最后向自己和解的结尾也十分喜欢，毕竟世界过于简单就没有想象中那么好了
对于同性恋这种敏感题材，这部电影可以说是非常正能量和政治正确。但真的好伤心呀，周围人对安藤很好，但他内心的失落是永远无法弥补的，这就是命运的沉重吧。
那么问题来了，为什么豆瓣演员条目里没有黑人演员和导演？
没有断在中间！后面有好好讨论和用心感受男主的心理和感受。男同学质问男主好友你今天不也没摸他鸡鸡嘛你不也在知情后改变了怎么对他嘛 说得好在理。演得不好的是男主在病床上的自白 演得没感情啊。（其实应该四星但是从头到尾好几次笑出来和甜甜的女孩子都很喜欢）
总体还行，在商业属性达标的基础上，也完成了政治诉求，一些细节的设计够用心，但作曲水平过于低下，高潮片段配乐劣质且不符合基调，强行拉低观感，6.5。
“落水问题”不是男女会问，而是爱的患得患失的那方会问，用来麻痹自己的不安定。LGBT的和解算是个热门的题材，发现时的迷茫、初确认时的厌恶和期待、再到最终的和解或消亡。“硬的起来的喜欢和硬不起来的喜欢”好像都抵不住向世俗妥协渴望获得理解、家人的欲望，社会的包容总是难以兼容每个人。希望每一个人都能获得自己想要的幸福，或许普通或许不是。“我喜欢的是BL和安藤，我喜欢的是男人和三浦”，希望真的有BL星……
又一部网飞流水线的大数据电影，有点模仿《热天午后》的意思，只不过把黑色幽默换成了政治正确，电影水平也差了不是一星半点，这种警匪对峙的电影基本上已经模式化了，也有很多成功的例子，但即便如此，这部电影也做的是相当差劲，一般这种封闭空间，都需要不停的有外界的刺激或内部的突变来制造冲突，推进剧情，塑造人物，但这部没一点做好的，冲突点制造的不够，甚至有点敷衍，导致剧情推进极其生硬，一点都不严谨，没有丝毫的紧张感，警察，劫匪，人质就像过家家，这也进一步导致人物塑造极其粗糙，男主角不说了，演技浮夸，一众配角的转变全靠自我感动，莫名其妙就开始支持劫匪了，不过从一开始他们也没有恐惧过，不过电影中一些反讽的细节做的不错，整部电影随处透露着敷衍，像随意搭了个框架就仓促成型，以后这种电影会越来越多，网飞是把双刃剑
