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".
粤语2D场，周星驰式的欢乐电影，最后时刻，女主为阿娟敲鼓，还有最后的合影，想起了【秋天的童话】电影结束时，船头尺和李琪相视一笑，当你以为那是他们故事开始的时候，导演张婉婷却说，他们并没有在一起，那只是他们生命中最美的时刻。两人没有相遇可能生命就失去了那一抹色彩，也就没有了后面的故事。人最难的就是面对自己驱赶内心的恐惧，唤醒心中沉睡的那头雄狮吧，祝愿那些为生活奔波奋斗的人啊，愿他们都能守护自己的梦想和家人。
要活下去啊～～～～～～～
大卫芬奇：看来我这名字明年还是能上奥斯卡的
五条人，椅子乐团，九连真人的歌恰到好处的响起。真是太棒了！
故事不新颖，画面比较细腻。想当然的被欺负，想当然的遇到恩师，想当然的获胜。
上山、下山，每个人有自己的路要走。赞电影尊重现实，没有给主角们一个因舞狮夺冠就走上光鲜未来的结局。很喜欢电影里满满的乡土文化，感情充沛的插曲，堪比实景拍摄的细腻画面，和即使明知是煽情套路也让人留下泪水的感人片段。虽然大量打工少年和留守儿童可能不会看到这部电影，但看完电影的你和我难道不会对他们更多尊重和关爱、不会懂得无论身处何种境遇，每一个个体都可以在自己的人生轨迹里创造精彩吗。中国的动画电影做出了成人和孩子都可以欣赏的好故事，很棒👍
1/很难得在大屏幕上看到阿娟及其父母这样人的身影，正如结尾曲唱的“城市的背影”。就这一点而言，对岭南区域文化的展现也很有趣味，这部动画电影特别有社会学意义。2/很难得看到其中可爱的女孩阿娟形象，一个姐姐，助人者形象。3/人物都相对真实（反而不觉得像有些网友感觉的脸谱话）要知道大数据之下，有多少留守儿童，农村家庭结构就是如此，父辈外出打工，拿命换钱，甚至也没换到什么钱，賺的钱不够抵御一次意外的风险，一次意外，全家落底，孩子也要再次出门打工托底。
不知道是不是期待太高，感觉非常非常一般，看了开头可以猜到后面90%的剧情，台词悬浮，逻辑生硬，看起来就是很多梗的拼凑。说是现实主义剧情，但这逆袭的剧情无论如何都是超现实了。画面制作确实用心，但对一部作品的成功来说基本可以忽略不计。
渲染非常写实，去掉人物光看场景的话，会以为是实拍的画面，这点倒是很“皮克斯”。认真研究传统文化，实地采风，就很值得鼓励。★★★☆/7.5
雄狮出征，国风再启航！周星驰与港片的国漫融合大胜利✌
粤语版，配乐一起就要哭，看完就想听《狮子山下》
上帝诗一样地让他在临死前的最后一天，拥有了童年的鲜花和可以晒的太阳。
论走心好故事的重要性。一人，一狗，两机器人的末世科幻片，没有反派，没有动作戏，也没有大场面（除了一些cgi极端天气），节奏极度缓慢，却极其引人入胜，理工绝症男主创造了直立AI机器人只为托孤，而孤居然是条狗，这也太暖了吧
惊喜之作，国漫之光。现实主义题材+写实画风丝毫不输大厂制作。我们总说「弘扬民族文化是根」却鲜有人真正做到立足传统去谈梦想，而雄狮少年做到了。只因有梦的少年真的可以熠熠发光。前半部分的「平铺稳垫」为后半段的高光打下夯实基础。镜头感强，人物饱满，配乐、影调、美工及其出彩。尤以内核更是胜出同类作品一大截不止。谁不会被梦想感动呢？谁会不为「咸鱼翻身」喝彩？在如此高燃的气氛之下，最终的结局什么的，真的已经没那么重要了。年度国产最佳，毫无争议。
新瓶老酒，瑕不掩瑜，结尾确实有被感动到。美术设计、主旨立意、表现形式都很好，几乎是在现实与超现实间达到了一种微妙的平衡，将那种老派又热血的情感宣泄地淋漓尽致。致那些迫于生计夹杂在梦想与现实间进退两难的人：人生浮沉如上山下山，怀揣希望之光照亮前行之路，紧握梦想之石跨越重重阻碍。“只要鼓点还能在心中响起，我们就是雄狮”。
真的，狗子不管和谁玩球，最后都会把对方丢出去的球捡回叼给主人（主人在场的情况）。我们豆小葵十年如一日！末日公路片，一人一机器人一狗子，两个小时从绝望到慢慢被灌注希望和光明。Good year，真的很喜欢狗子的这个名字，2019年可能是未来10年来最好的一年，疫情、经济、气候变化...都形势严峻，芬奇所在的未来，臭氧层已经被严重破坏，人类为了生存时刻要泯灭良心挑战人性底线。而他把狗子托给杰夫照顾，这个机器人继承了人类的善良、坚韧和爱，带着狗子去了希望之地。汤姆·汉克斯又一次奉献了绝佳演技，杰夫在他怀里那一幕眼泪就破防了，最后小家伙摇着尾巴把球丢给杰夫，又乖乖叼回来了，我似乎看到没有表情的杰夫喜极而泣的样子。有爱，就有希望。珍惜可以呼吸新鲜空气、沐浴在阳光下的日子吧！
人设造型上，初看男主是有些不适，后期把西瓜头剪成寸头，看着清爽多了。
简直比脑残偶像网剧还难看… 三分钟猜到结局，情节从头至尾极其俗套，一处亮点都没有。剧本各种硬伤，槽多无口。男主冲着咸鱼师傅一顿吼李白的时候，我脸都抽了。披着带点中国元素的壳子，制作内核完全欧美模式。都什么年头了，还有这么生硬的“热血励志”… “你可是被木棉花砸中的男人” 🤢
情真意切，一气呵成。少年艰辛之路，步步踏血，壮志在心。国产动画佳作，现实主义优秀作品。
最后的彩蛋把片子整体拔高了一星，实在喜欢。
