繁华的街道,欧美穿梭的人群,欧美只有在夜晚才能慢下来。我叫做灿,是一家酒吧的老板,这里也是我的家。在这里我遇到了形形色色的人,听到了许许多多的故事,很多人问我为什么这么沉默,因为我喜欢聆听。每个人都有属于自己的故事,就像水一样,里面有我最珍贵的回忆,如果能做到的话,什么酒都愿意为您调。喝的不是味道,而是喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊。

回复 :1897年,宾夕法尼亚州有一座名为考明顿的小村庄。这里风光秀美,景色宜人,村民间更是团结友爱,和善为亲,过着平静自在的生活。然而,考明顿村民的心中却有着一个挥之不去的梦魇。传说在村子周围的丛林中隐藏着残忍而恐怖的怪物,它们和村民间似乎有着一道不可僭越的约定,双方守在各自的领地,秋毫无犯。但是近一段时间种种迹象表明,盘踞在森林中的怪物正试图践足人类的领地。人们对此无计可施,只能用古老的办法——在树干漆上黄色——来阻退怪物。为了医治母亲的病,年青人路西斯(杰昆·菲尼克斯 Joaquin Phoenix 饰)决心去森林另一边的城镇采购药品。这一举动彻底改变了考明顿的命运……
回复 :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.
