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.
都已经明显、直接的呈现强暴了，还怎么叫“罗生门”？以为我没看过罗生门吗。所谓的各自讲述只是无关痛痒的个人小动作而已，情节也很一般也没有激荡的战争场面，不值8.5，最多7分。亚当长得真丑，片里每个女人还夸他英俊，老雷也是瞎。有时间不搞异形，拍这么部扯淡片。
雷导真是女权先锋，怎么让所有男性角色面目可憎算是被他研究透了。第三章拔高了整部电影，但除此以外的节奏实在有些平，要一直撑到最后才能明白很多地方的用意。
雷利·史考特執導戰爭電影就是一把手的工匠等級，營造的恢弘壯烈場面一向有目共睹，最後那場壓軸的決鬥，令人看得呼吸都要停止；但另一方面，他對於探究心理層面的細膩之處就略顯不足，光靠繁複的台詞是難以完整表現吧。
确实展现了父权视角下的自以为是，但无感知的人仍不在乎
从《异形》到《最后的决斗》，雷老爷子是不是特别喜欢把长长的物体放入人的嘴里…
剧本大失水准，“罗生门”式叙事的一次糟糕模仿
1，雷公今年84岁了，Damn！2，直男在战场上救过渣男，渣男强暴了直男的妻子，直男和渣男决斗的简单故事，雷公通过直男，渣男，妻子三个视角讲述故事——甚至有好些同一场面在不同视角里都出现的情况下，楞是讲出花儿来了——虽然这样的结构不新鲜，但讲出水准很难。3，救人一命真的不算个事，对被救者来说，事后，救过他命可能不敌一句阿谀奉承，对此本人也是深有体会的。4，呆萌和阿弗莱特这对好基友在本片里双双演技突破，不知是导演调教之功，还是两人双双爆发了。5，妻子视角最后升华了，不知是雷公迎合当下女权风潮还是自己内心感受，但这一笔点得，尺度很好。6，异形，黑鹰坠落，银翼杀手，角斗士等皆出自雷公之手，咱也只叫雷公没叫雷神。虽然我也喜欢维伦纽瓦，但看着对他的封神之声，只想感慨，这样的年代连封神都这么浮躁，急躁。
甲壳就是个渣男 但是女生愉悦才能生小孩这个 就有点反生物学常识了…… 不过 演员选的倒是都很奇葩 我觉得大本已经走上奇怪的道路了
其实并不如《异形》和《末路狂花》那么有力量，算是借古讽今的作品。朱迪·科默值得一个影后，这片子男主换几个人貌似也差不太多，但女主功力差一点点都不行。一个有意思的点：第三段标题出现后，“The Truth”一个词比其它几个词多停留了几秒钟才消失；结尾字幕也够讽刺：Jean几年后在另一场决斗中丧生。
罗生门是极好的反映人性的叙事手法，不论剧中还是剧外 更不论历史时代
看著茱蒂·科默那張韻味別緻的臉蛋，不時會讓人出戲去回味“小變態”詭異又捉狹的表情，只怪她在《殺死伊芙》裡表演的太經典了。
2.法庭一场戏，真证实了，“浪漫”的法国没有一个男人！
以为是罗生门，却又用字幕给你强调哪些是真相，显得少了点胆量，走的稳健路线。三个视角重复用的镜头太多了，有时候看的有点不耐烦，会短暂怀疑最后一个视角的必要性，当然最后揭示故事的主要意义是展现女性的视角，表现女性受的压迫和不公的，这就跟前面的结构有点拧巴。不过最后的决斗场景拍的太牛了，手心攥紧了看的，这才有"大导风范"。不过话说回来，这部分紧张感有多少是跟主旨的女性视角相关的呢？
三个视角的罗生门，自大自恋的人能把强奸想象成被勾引。
气 质 绝 佳 审 美 典 范
三分之一就知道要打拳，好在剧本精巧，令人深思到底是不是司机被设了局，做了笼子。1080P 21/12/01
3.这电影真的太酷了！
只有男人的脸面，没有女人的尊严。
小变态太美了，马达扮相好凶好丑，司机很欲，大本一头黄发吊儿郎当满嘴fuck笑的牙龈都看到了是怎么回事阿
一般，感觉还行，从不同角度叙述同一件事情，提炼出对女性社会地位的思索。
