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".
上头，还挺好看，立意是好的落入泥沼也可以是盛开的玫瑰花，没给五星是因为，为啥解决问题非要去找黑帮老大，感觉这不还是借助了黑帮老大的力量，不过完全靠自己也不太可能，确实女主挺出色的了，真的挺好看的上头
我无法评价历史，我更无法做到像电影中出现的英雄事迹。但历史在产生着一个一个英雄。炸桥的结果是什么？炸桥的牺牲又大不大？炸桥后的每一寸尘土都是英雄拼搏过后的战绩！
本片改编自印度非虚构纪实文学《Mafia Queens of Mumbai》中 Gangu 的篇章。按原型人物和现实情况，这片理应像阿米塔布巴强的《火之通途》看齐，塑造一个因畸形社会而诞生、又受困于自身罪恶的“灰色人物”。然而实际拍出来却像一个包裹着糖果、甜腻腻的玛丽苏YY。里面所谓的“女性主义思考”，其力度还不如导演自己二十年前的《宝莱坞生死恋》，昌德拉姆西那番“泥土也不是软弱无力”的宣言
贼酷好吗 甘古白的白 是自由的颜色 好久没看到这么爽的片了 把小女孩嫁给自己爱人的那一段真的活剐人心了
女主选择了她所处的环境、她的认知的上限为妇女争取了最大化的权益。但是要让卖淫不合法要考虑的问题还有很多，不仅仅是让妓女们离开妓院，要有其它可替代的生活来源，显然当时没有。因为是小说没有依托历史，不知道还有后面的故事没，不过妓女的后代能上学，通过接受教育的方式离开这个行业，逐渐淘汰这个行业还是有希望的。20220619
片头一堆感谢谁和纪念谁，之后的剧情走向就不太符合逻辑：一个妓女头子跟一个小妓女头次见面就讲述自己的心路历程？这编剧写中学作文呢吧。12分钟弃剧。
更何况我们现在有核武器 我们什么都有了
看1的时候其实一直都没太明白，在水门桥刚开始的两三分钟内，我好像才终于明白了这部电影教给我的是什么。血性，一股拼搏的劲，不认输的精神
甘古一生遇见4个重要的男人，渣男利用她，大佬欣赏她，真爱拥抱她，朋友敬重她，而她，在成为甘古的那一刻开始，便为千百姐妹而活，是为特殊女性争取自由，权利，平等之熊熊火焰。
4.情节不完整，女主和母亲，父亲十几年后恩怨没有交代清楚。
这一部在影院看的，体验更好，有些场面很血腥，不是抗日神剧手撕鬼子的那种血腥，是真正战争场面的血腥。
贫瘠的依旧愚昧的土地里，有些人总是无耐的，不幸的。正常人会想着如何改变，绝地翻盘。而不是纠结于男女，性别，对立。设身处地，如果你在那里，生存都是问题，很多事没有那么重要的。大佬代表的是阶级，压迫阶层，而不是性别，很多人叫嚷这块格局真小。它真的和韩国一样，电影可以拍，但是社会改了算我输。当这些女孩走出电影院回到现实会多么绝望啊。
有点爽文女主的气息，但是很悲剧，电影很喜剧，原型是悲剧，不管再有钱，她们丢失的尊严再也找不回来了。我不喜欢这个电影，主要是女人被利用的悲剧，无法改变受害者被抛弃的命运，看着很励志，实则悲凉。
在知乎懂哥和女权斗士间反复横跳，能看见变成一部佳片的可能性，可是最终还是深陷在了自己自身价值观的局限里，在喊出妓女让其他女性免于被强奸后失去了所有弧光，变成了一种中年男性自以为是的叫嚣，可偏偏最令人不适的是，ta还披着一张这一切最大受害者的皮
印度赵丽颖在印度尼根的帮助下演绎一场大格局印度恶女花魁的故事（
看到千里牺牲时泪目，还有报名时只到一人
有了上一部的铺垫，这一部显得更集中，从头打到尾，给人喘息的时间很少，对于地理环境的镜头调度依旧喜欢，吴京的两场个人秀不错，最后的结局也是相当惨烈，看完很震撼
当我们为女孩烧烤店被打事件群情激愤却发声无门的时候，看看隔壁所谓破落愚昧封建的印度，耳光响亮。
看1的时候其实一直都没太明白，在水门桥刚开始的两三分钟内，我好像才终于明白了这部电影教给我的是什么。血性，一股拼搏的劲，不认输的精神
糟糕日子的第二部童话，强韧的生命落入污泥，也会拼命开出绚烂的花。现实没有那么洁净简单，一席白莎丽要沾无数鲜红的血。但，从来没有什么权利，是不用靠双手力量争取来的恩赐不是么？印度电影这些年撕开的口，也是努力争夺来的表达。
