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".
于是，在找到目标之前，我们已渐渐迷失，既无法喜欢自己，更别提讨人喜欢了。那些压在身上沉重却不知为何物的东西，让我们在达到目标后，也变得索然无味，这真的是你想要的人生吗？
被摩擦成社畜的文艺男➕活在自我精神世界里的文艺女=相见不如怀念、虽然不舍得但也过不下去的恋爱。简直是为豆瓣男女量身定制的迷影爱情小品。分手应该有的样子。
社畜的我没法细细品味每一刻时光，鸡汤齁咸。
2020最佳！！来自皮克斯的完美圣诞礼物🥰
实现梦想很幸福啊，但是做一条没有梦想的咸鱼也很快乐。很符合我曾经给自己的个签→普普通通，平平淡淡，就那么过完自己的一生。可是我一直没做到啊。
我本以为Inside out跟Zootopia已经是皮克斯巅峰了，直到我看了这部。。。后面真的看到热泪盈眶。一部拍给普通人的心灵鸡汤，但是这碗我干了！
比起一个人的寂寞，两个人的寂寞更让人难受
或许太过相似会更让人畏惧表现出任何异质 所以在“承认默契”的默契被打破之后 他们会坦陈很多“其实”——其实他们的默契从没有想象中那般坚实 又或者 其实一种更坚实的默契也不必是一段关系的起点——归咎于琐屑的生活终究是一种推卸 我在想 在关系无可挽回的变质中 或许任何人的转变都不是必要的——人不是在时间中流转 而是在时间中展开 高潮段落如此令人心碎或许也并不是出于“他们本可以..” 而是年轻的“他们终究会..”
真正美好的热恋记忆，是我们翻唱对方最喜欢的歌曲，是我们录下对方卡拉OK时的囧态，没有晚风的河边小道能让心跳加速，没有变色的信号灯能让时间静止，哪怕生活似一团乱麻般缠绕的耳机线，也可以毫无顾忌地持续同频共振。
借助最新版本的 iOS 或 iPadOS，您和一位朋友可以使用 AirPods 或 Beats 无线耳机一起收听 iPhone 或 iPad 中的音频。
这部电影的台词看第一遍感觉不过是些鸡汤，重新观看才发觉还蛮有哲学意味。“迷失和忘我的区别没有那么大，忘我是快乐的，但当这种快乐成了一种执念，脱离了生活，人就成了迷失的灵魂。”人的身体里只能存在一个灵魂吧，这样你才可以完全属于你自己。其实无论是美术还是制作都属上乘之作，很值得观看的，不是单纯的鸡汤片。（之前看了友邻的分享才知道，这部电影有国人参与，怪不得有很多惊喜的地方hhh
有点困惑的是，跟另世我在一起，真的有恋爱的感觉吗？这难道不是另一种形式的自恋……
把Moonwind小仙翻译成“风月”的字幕组同学，灵魂切入了。
明白了！最大的收获是记住了之后去明大前的bar蹲押井守！
菅田將暉和有村架純飾演的一男一女那麼自在又毫不做作地聊著文學和電影，連mean的時候也毫不裝逼，並因此相愛，想起在國內應該根本不可能casting到這樣的演員演出這樣的戲，不禁為我們的沒文化感到悲哀。
皮克斯的巅峰在coco，高山仰止，可能还有好几年都要生活在coco的阴影中了。期待下一部佳作。
很文青的恋爱方式，彻夜对谈书影音记录，第三次约会告白后在红灯前接吻，一时冲动地搬到一起住。但是，兴趣爱好相似并不能证明爱，何况没有两个人所有的兴趣爱好都一致，灵魂伴侣指的并不是喜欢同一位作家哇，在此基础上产生的爱情当然会被生活磨灭。不过，究竟如何定义灵魂伴侣，我也没有找到答案。
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！
非常非常普通的爱情故事，依靠「自以为」百分百重合的兴趣爱好为标准而交往是挺没劲的，说明要么认识的人还不够多，要么缺少一个豆瓣账号。以及看到了两个演员之间挺大的演技差距。
想起之前骨折，有很长时间只能躺在床上什么也干不了，看着病床边上走来走去的人，看着窗外投射进的一点点光，会羡慕别人能走路，会渴盼出去晒太阳，这在平时都是再正常不过的事情，但只有你失去了，才能发现它的美好。
