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".
看完以后全场人在鼓掌，真的好好看。开始意味着结束，世界上最稳定的关系依旧是 没有关系。
年龄大了，不再因剧中的人流泪而感动。原本不错地生活质感，因设计了太多巧合而割裂，体现在两人初遇时聊的话题，参加葬礼时交叉剪辑两人各自吐槽的话语，以及餐厅分手时正好乱入的学生情侣。这种设计并无不妥，但无法将影片整体思想拔高。最终也可见，影片没有抛出更多新的思考，只是讲了一堆再平常不过的大学情侣的破事。
二、影片灵魂类似投胎的设定，预设了所有人的出生都是等同的。但，就，并不是啊。人的出生是不可选择的，就是不平等的。看看这些生而为女人，为穷人，为有色人种，为少数群体的人，这些失去家园者、受饥受冻者、被侮辱与被伤害的人，这讲英语的灵魂学校道貌岸然的设定简直恶心人。22最后不就跳到咱国投胎了么。
花束般的恋爱底下是未来生活一粥一饭需要的残酷与无奈。司空见惯的文青(报菜名）的爱情故事在坂元裕二魔法般的对话与情境设计得到填充，选用的两位演员也有理想文青的气质与皮囊。但视听方面的处理过于薄弱，几近与日剧无异。『花束般的恋爱』并不是艺术，只是披上文艺外皮，对于成长的探讨，对于消费主义恋爱被物质打倒的呈现。

好的感情是一起成长一起探索一起共享当中的过程，处在同频道里彼此能感受和理解，不仅仅是喜欢同样的书听同样的歌而对这个世界有完全不同的理解。★★★☆
原来女主演过《垫底辣妹》，难怪她的笑容让我觉得这么似曾相识。因为的确完全是想象出来的完美爱情吧，所以最后也势必会被现实击碎，虽然无论是前半段还是后半段都有一些你用理性无法去解释的桥段，但是这毕竟就是文青编出来的美好想象嘛，只是既然都这么编了，不如编得彻底美好不是更好嘛～生活已经够苦了，就让我在电影里好好逃避一下呗。以及我很好奇，在日本找工作那么难的吗？要找好几个月？还有日本是真的小呀，异地恋这么方便的哇。最后，我对自己严格要求一下：脆脆，你要永远做个浪漫的人啊！
一开场俩人就说着坂元标志性打比方台词，我心中警铃大作心想不是吧不是吧一个角色这样说话就够了这回一下来俩？还好后面台词正常了好多。分手戏很重要但拖太长了，街景地图梗很可爱。没想到，村花演技蛮好的哎！但是，这个同步率谈什么恋爱啊？组织已经决定了下次第七使徒来你俩开EVA保护世界去吧。
结局正为娟和麦分手掉眼泪，以为四年的感情分手后肯定会后悔 复合，但直到结尾，也没有任何复合的迹象。结局 山音麦看见全景地图里 五年前自己和娟并肩走的样子，没有哭 只是惊喜的大笑，他大概率已经释然了。电影结束了，只剩下我一个人 一脸呆滞，三次提起结婚，最后还是各奔东西，可能只是因为不再合拍了吧。爱情不能只靠合拍维持，现在想想“我想和你一起浪费时间”果然是顶级的浪漫
@新宿toho 2021年的冬天我在电影院爆哭。京王线恋爱物语，剧本无限贴近真实，每一个即将踏入或踏入社会没两年的大学生都会感同身受。男女主相遇的明大前就在我家右拐十分钟，熟悉的高井户高架桥。热衷过小众文化的年轻人们最后都会变成对肖申克的救赎高谈阔论的社会人们。。
爱情就像鲜花一样，也有保质期，好像世间万物都是如此。
Life is about feeling and jazzing.
太痛苦了吧，我在切鸡胗，锅里还在炒生菜，听他们最后聊分手那段，苏打说要不就结婚吧！大多数人都是这么过的，为什么我们不可以？我想坂元你太残酷了。爱最后肯定是消亡的，所以更多人在消亡前结婚了，以为那还是爱，其实那变成了恩爱。我觉得这部片子不是讨论爱，是在讨论我到底想过怎么样的人生。
这个主题确实非常扎心，后劲很大，但本应该可以更好，结局还是潦草了些。
工作这个该死的东西摧毁了男性残存的浪漫主义。
“结婚吧，结了婚就好了。”“生个孩子就会幸福了。”在欺骗自己这件事上，男人和女人倒是殊途同归。
年龄大了，不再因剧中的人流泪而感动。原本不错地生活质感，因设计了太多巧合而割裂，体现在两人初遇时聊的话题，参加葬礼时交叉剪辑两人各自吐槽的话语，以及餐厅分手时正好乱入的学生情侣。这种设计并无不妥，但无法将影片整体思想拔高。最终也可见，影片没有抛出更多新的思考，只是讲了一堆再平常不过的大学情侣的破事。
时常觉得自己渺小而平庸，但因为风、歌乐山的日落、楼下每年只开一次的梅花、不认识的邻居对我笑，我总是想再活五百年的。
起初我在想评论爱情像是股票，有的高开低走，有的低开高走，有的低走停牌，有的高开重组，模式重多，再强的高手也会翻车。
-她会不会只觉得我们俩聊得来
