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.
男二虽然乍一看不太好看，但有一种妩媚又温柔的气质，很吸引人。整部电影节奏太慢了。
4 前半段有些温吞，叙事到了两人终于见面才开始高速发展。导演对Robson的刻画太好了，家庭、教会、自我、爱情，以至于前半段的警官寻人都没有那么精彩了，我们和那么多人产生联系最后还是会孤独，可能每个人都不知道自己在找什么，这个结局我很喜欢。
一名警察在经过内部调查后被停职，他在全国各地游荡，寻找自己的网恋对象。
男主美国张孝全，冲着脸看完的，剧情怎么说呢，比较文艺沉闷
属于你我的私人荒漠，越近越了解~应该会拿奖吧？~
狼与狮子的友情故事～动物最想要的应该还是不被打扰，追求天性和自由吧！
跨性别主角的出场设计还挺巧妙的 我真的差一点就要以为另一个主角是黑人男gay蜜了 然后船上留下了一位旁观者陪着男主 两人都被留在了夕阳下还挺美好的 顺便一夸这片子的画面真的好美
很乌托邦的好莱坞公式片，但因为有了小动物，一切都变得鲜活可爱
total eclipse of the heart
《不老奇事》去年因疫情下线，相信自己是金子，而今年此刻的上映，不夸张来说，他应当发光。
片名跑出前的半小时可以更精简 毕竟真正的触碰后便是告别
小狮子和小狼幼崽时期超可爱……萌得我可以再看一遍……
你一直是你，我却不知道什么是我，直到我们拥有属于彼此的私人荒漠。导演真的很懂王家卫的慢性和调色，男男主角要到1小时左右才相遇。细腻的情感积累到最后热烈释放，那是冲破压抑盛开的共情之花。
童话系电影，剧情没多少，就当动物世界看还是挺有意思的，人的剧情可有可无
在如诗如画的大自然哥动物世界里，人和故事都是多余的
一直在担心 丹尼尔知道sara 是女的怎么办？会有什么反应之类的 其实就如robson所说 他一直是sara 也一直是robson 名字、器官只是代号 最重要的是你的感觉 只要你觉得幸福、开心 在不伤害别人的前提下，你可以做你自己，就是你自己 你喜欢、开心就好🥰😍
LGBT真是没有题材拍了，三碗豆腐豆腐三碗。
在私人荒漠尽管贫瘠荒芜，但至少有你，有自由。
1. 有点过于冗长 2. 结尾70年代金曲很好听 3.人们新建一个城市，就是为了重蹈覆辙。4.巴西风光可真是异域风情
各自在各自的生活中挣扎。就问男主知道男二是男的抛下男二，男二独自走回家那段小提琴曲子叫啥，好听。
