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".
好喜欢啊啊啊啊。没看过小说，就电影而言。是熏给了他渴望的认可、包容、理解和爱，所以他很爱。然而在他提出见父母同居后，熏说就好普通啊。然后在路口分手时说下次会带CD来，然后就没有了下次。那么追求不普通的女孩子，你怎么能给她一个如此普通的提议呢。我更偏向于把这理解为理想和现实。我们的理想是怎样的，不代表现实中我们能做到，毕竟我们都只是普通人啊。和《花束般的恋爱》一般，两个人对于理想和现实的不同的接受程度，差距大了之后也是会分手的啊。活着就是件难的事，在现在这个世道。但能不能有办法让我们能够忠于理想一点，活得更开心一点呢？我想对于大人是有不同的定义的。我们没能成为大人，我心目中那种真正的大人，活成真正的自己的大人。但我们都成为了大人，到处司空见惯的普通的大人。不管怎样，愿我们能真正地爱和拥抱自己
最后的场景切换和酷玩的满天星都好喜欢！
日本人拍东西音乐是道具，不是增加感情的垃圾。
究竟怎么会有这样一部电影呢？我是佐藤，我也是薰，我是所有人，所有人都是我。
名字和主题有偏差。没进入社会前大家都是有想像的有可塑性的，做什么工作，突然遇到什么，一切都是你猝不及防。其实多数人都不会否定自己变成的模样，更多是唏嘘别人变成的样子。
《我们都无法成为大人》，却也不可避免地成为了《世界上最糟糕的人》
狼最后被抓…这不至于吧…。这一部感觉就只认真规划了最后的音乐剧，其他的人设和情节太难说合情合理了（和《我很在乎》一样牵强），比起第一部差得不是一点两点……真的是里面的音乐硬拉了一颗星。
流行歌大杂烩哈哈，好听还是很好听的，小考拉太可爱了吧
p2『她们都老了吧，她们在哪里啊？』
好欢乐，狮子王出来唱前，听到台下所有观众合唱自己的老歌，氛围太适合感动😹
喜欢小象米娜，母胎单身的她不会演言情戏，于是爱上了另一只小象，把演绎对象当成小象。
看了一半，弃。什么玩意啊。端着架子的那种做作
动画制作和歌都不错，但剧情就meh。。猪猪身上还能看到细细的绒毛好可爱。。。
7分，筹备阶段的内容偏长，但好在最后的表演足够精彩，充满小惊喜。
三星半。逆时针的“流水账”，和《花束般的恋爱》实际也没有太多对比性，但却又有着极有效的共情力。
请问好莱坞工业是如何把爆米花电影依然做的人人都喜欢并感动～
剧情虽然烂俗，却依然让我感动了一下。主要视觉好看歌也好听，作为爆米花电影还是不错
以倒叙方式回顾一个中年男人近三十年的生活经历：主角在事业上并非成功人士，但也非一事无成；感情上爱过，也被爱过，但终究孤身一人。从传统剧本创作的角度看待，主角基本没有特别的人物弧光，但一如许多普通人的真实状态。时间倒退到与初恋女友第一次亲密之时，那份腼腆让人心动。
我们只是不断的前进，不断的遇见，却不是不断的长大
1.初恋留下了不愿普通的执念，他却还懵懂她离开的原因。内心对抗着成为大人这件事，活成茫茫人海中绝望而普通的又一个人。2.相比《薄荷糖》的韩国编年史式倒叙，日本的社会变迁其实在主人公体内了无痕迹，而只作为归纳回忆的标签存在。真正构成无法长大、想要回去动力的，始终是私人史的伤痕。3.会记住两个段落：中年时与偶遇的女子一夜情，在能俯瞰东京夜景的酒店。她想拍东京塔的灯光，那灯却在按下快门的瞬间熄灭；少年时跟初恋在廉价旅馆，做人生的第一次爱，黯淡的氛围灯如明灭星河，他们珍重而腼腆地相拥、相融，“我在高兴时，会觉得很难过。”
