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".
我对政府的藐视，远没有它对我的藐视多。
群戏比较出彩 对话痨厌烦者和对美国60上世纪60年代末的民权运动不了解的观众不是很友好 总之对于当下美国的现实 算是很应景的一部电影了
导演尽量发挥自己的台词优势，剪切凌厉，但只是浮于表面，看得人昏昏欲睡
“93小时，但好像一辈子了。”
因为某地有些情绪非常个人 fuck the police
美国的一些总统，一些议员，一些法官可能并非善茬，美国政府制定的外交政策也常常不符灯塔之名。但美国的宪政，民主，法治将会万古长青，美国的建国理念和国体原则将永垂不朽
太久没看柯南了，看评分这么高慕名来看，整体破案真相可谓令人挠破头都想不到，因为太扯了...悬念制造的还是挺好的，果然最后不扯的话逻辑无法圆下来。出场人物众多，补充了很多主线上的伏笔。隔了快十年没看，没想到新一和小兰才亲上，哈哈，也真是唏嘘，满脑子都是自己当初看柯南时的悸动。
总有一天我们也能拍出这样的电影。The whole world is watching.
密集对白推动叙事完成结构的典范，法庭戏和闪回片段直接进行交叉剪辑，运动群戏无缝潜入真实记录素材，一场QZ运动中的各方力量犬牙交错，仅在左派阵营就依照不同光谱呈现出从激进到温和派别的合作与对抗，呈现出历史事件的复杂，不能简单以好恶正反进行判断。非常美国的结论，拿人当人的前提和底线是拿法律当法律。
必须有理有据的摆明自己坚定的态度和立场，尤其是面对脑残，赖子和傻缺云云的时候。
與政府對我的蔑視而言，我對政府的蔑視不值一提
“我从未因思想受过审判。”在乌云蔽日的世间里只有勇气和信仰能带你走下去，愿今天的美国人依然未忘记开国之父们的初心。
1.性别、种族歧视赤裸裸的体现 2.反越战中的嬉皮士表象和文化政治革命内里 3.轰动一时的大事件也是由偶然的个体和必然的趋势引发的 4.当法制变成人治，弱小的一方有多难维权，公权力的滥用 5.永远都不要小瞧脱口秀演员。
拍得挺生动的，特别是人物做得很有趣。但同样是处理素材繁杂的历史事件，《芝加哥7君子》只是热热闹闹得讲完了一个事儿，并没有拎出一个有力的主题和人物关系，相比之下美剧《切尔诺贝利》还真是技高一筹。
“Do you have contempt for your government? (你是否蔑视你的政府)” - "It's nothing compared to the contempt my government has for me.(与我的政府对我的蔑视相比, 我的蔑视不值一提)” | 这个时间点上映真是太应景了，整个2020魔幻一年啊，如果当选最佳是不是也太表明奥斯卡态度了？虽然感觉奥斯卡也没在怕的。最后一幕太鸡血其实有点莫名。
一场伟大的战斗，在抗议活动一线，更在法庭上，任何对文明社会有追求的公民都应该一看。
剪辑厉害，尤其是当海登说“our”的时候，忍不住流泪了, If blood is going to flow, let it flow all over the city, but it is OUR blood. 而且艾比对海登文风的了解，读过他全部发表的文章，就这么一小段，人物之间的联系就立体了起来，拍得太好了。
3.5，事件发生的过程，在审判之中穿插，使得剧情看上去更紧凑。最后的念名单，非常的燃动人心！
2019年初更新的《名侦探柯南》TV版终于改编到漫画2017年出版的第1000话，2020年在台湾把这两集2小时编辑成剧场版在电影院上映。修学旅行篇是柯南极重要的一个事件，首先人物登场众多，影响面也很广，杀人事件也是回到了经典水平。最重要的是这个案件故事完成了新兰的世纪之吻，新兰的感情线迈了一大步。青山刚昌亲自对这一镜头创作原画，作画监督也阵容庞大，还有青山刚昌增添的TV版特有的甜蜜片段。世纪之吻的部分更令人感到惋惜，感情线与主线也是分不开的。总之与前后剧集相比都非常出色，值得在电影院中重温经典。
注定结局的政治审判，半百之后世界并没有变更好。
