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".
相比第一部简直是断崖式下跌，不仅剧情变得苍白幼稚，矛盾冲突和突破自我诸如此类无聊情节轮番上演，歌曲也再没有my way这种契合人物历程的优秀作品，倒是pop口水歌充斥全片，歌词无非就是励志梦想。
韩国新总统刚当选之际看了这部以金大中和他的竞选军师为原型拍摄的韩国在实行一人一票，民主选举中走过的艰辛路。电影引出很多值得思考的问题，如为了实现正确的理想是否可以不择手段？想想历任韩国总统不是被刺杀就是被下台后清算，虽是风险最高的位置，但也说明了权利被监督，没有完全的独裁。民主选举之路真的不容易。但因为有一批人怀着“想改变这个世界，……在那里你可以无所畏惧的说话，国家不强迫人民做出牺牲”为理想人的不断负重前行。方向对了，路虽艰辛，但还是曲折向前。这是继《南山的部长们》后看的又一部讲述韩国政治环境，民主经历的好电影。影片启用双主角，人物刻画细之后腻，故事情节流畅，虽个人认为结尾有点松懈，但仍不失为值得一看的好片。
太喜欢了，简直是各种音乐盛宴，而且动画人物刻画的这么形象，迷人
以及不经意间get了小助理对狼霸总的爱慕之情，这CP也有些好嗑。
想不到这个动画居然有续集，励志群像剧的续集总是很难拍，因为续貂就意味着要把主角们从上一部的巅峰再次踢回山脚。这个续集也不例外。所有矛盾和困难都很勉强，歌舞部分还是不错的。
不喜欢第一部，但这部意料之外还蛮好看的，歌很不错，ScarJo的同工同酬致敬自己的那段台词很不错，最后的音乐剧太豪华太美了，也有挺多泪目时刻，Halsey一开嗓就知有没有。
在政坛起起伏伏，两人关系分分合合中，徐昌大这剂毒药，曾把金云范推进了无底深渊，最终也把他推向神坛。
什么鬼，续集竟然变成音乐剧people shit
传统的合家欢电影，没有第一部那么感人，歌也不怎么好听
仍然无限欢乐 剧情再拉垮怎么着不比格莱美好看 蛋蛋依旧最佳🦍
舞台艺术！这就是绝佳的舞台艺术！最后的20分钟是欧美流行文化盛宴，还能听到寡姐和Bono合唱简直泪崩。简单明了的剧情和不断穿插的笑料，虽然仓促潦草，但也足见诚意，看得开心看得感动就好，《欢乐好声音2》简直是一家人观影的首选。不知道还有没有机会引进国内大银幕，很想在电影院里再次感受音乐与舞蹈的激情。
怎么回事啊，歌舞是要角色唱出来，不是欧美流行乐歌单当bgm放。所以本质不是剧情过简，而是这种剥离感。最后想对Mr. Moon说，服化道不错，剧本写得还是烂透:)
不是furry，但是狂喜了。为什么所有角色都这么可爱？狼老板老是让人联想到西游记的豹子精。剧情依旧俗，出色的依旧是各种基于细致观察和想象的设计，作为歌舞片的舞台设计也太可爱了。
羊仔好玩的啊，续集咋没了。第一集是讲业余爱好者拯救剧院，续集讲的是考拉带着歌手们实现更高的理想。小城市剧院的表演已经不满足大家的需求了，必须要去更大的舞台。虽然他们的表演连经纪人都没看上，但是不影响考拉想办法搞定大老板。最后当然是所有人都克服了困难，完成了一次几近完美的演出（这个音乐剧的创意不错），受到观众的好评和追捧。估计这个故事到这集也就编不下去了，这么多歌拿到版权也不容易，遗憾的是没有到影院里感受这份律动。第一集能公映，续集不能也是搞笑。剧情里最搞笑的就是蜥蜴的“biubiubiu”了。
韩国人对于政治阴谋的专注度恐怕是这个星球上最高的，这次竟然延续到了“金大中”身上，虽然通过两个寓言故事，保住了其伟光正的形象，但还是为韩国人敢于一点一点扣黑点，而钦佩不已。对朴正熙时代政治生态的描绘非常形象，对政治斗争的勾心斗角、居心叵测的展现非常精彩，既可以当做历史事件认识的敲门砖，又可以作为政治实践的教学片，值得一看。
虽然剧情上关键的地方都很难成立，但毛绒绒和金曲联唱，管他呢？
彼此双方，是不远万里追随而至的光，是政治理想的寄托，是潜伏黑暗中搅动风云的成就，是决然而然的放手，kswl🤤
几乎不记得第一部的内容了，并不影响看第二部看得很开心，视觉创意很棒（特别是最后那部分音乐剧），音乐比较满，歌曲放置的都挺合适。剧情简单易懂，困难不虚假也没有太过现实，还是有过于理想化的内容（夜间清洁工几分钟之内上台形成千人背景、被惯坏的千金小姐立刻顶上绿怪兽角色等），各个角色都获得了自己的成长，挺好。//配音阵容很强
虽然评分不高，但是算比较优异的一部政治题材电影，薛和李两个主咖的诠释不必多言。剧本本身也很流畅，唯一瑕疵就在于我看的版本汉译很是蹩脚。但是瑕不掩瑜，总体🉑。
伏笔都合上了，这个看得好爽♥️♥️♥️♥️
