The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years. At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with. But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood. I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential. by D.R.
如果真的在一起就俗了很多 毕竟青春是只要有阳光就能生长的野蛮生物 不过这种愤世嫉俗的亢奋感让我切出去平息了好几次不要对他们把爆米花撒在床上发火 佛罗里达的夏天真美 夏天的爱恋就在夏天结尾吧
其实挺无聊的。除了Troye，其他演员就不能找好看点的吗？片尾那些图，放电影的花絮图不好吗？把陈年旧图都拿出来了。最后也没说得没得嘛，我还以为我一直被剧透得了。风景好像85年盛夏
就是说，夏天、海边、少年很容易肚子里胀气然后放出一个叫爱情的屁。
男人都是过眼云烟，最后睡在你床边的只会是好姐妹。为什么不让印度小哥和男主在一起啊，他们真的好甜。闺蜜和男主也好好嗑。
戳爷的青春疼痛文学🈶！！！关于：夏天+海滩+亲吻+离别 的标配～ 电影的插曲 真的做到了 每一首 都太太太太好听了！能占两星的程度！！！
看了这个真的get到戳的美颜了 哪怕发际线也有点堪忧 事实证明只有好朋友才会陪你到最后哈哈哈哈 剧情就算了 情怀和画面倒是还行 戳算是本色出演吧 7分
三个月后发现还是好姐妹靠谱 印象最深的只有开头大桥从中部抬起骂桥头禁止通行婊气冲天
没想到居然还算能看。画面舒服，颜值也可以，音乐也挺好听的。这大概率是年度最佳的LGBTQ片了
着实走心了。我第一次等检测结果的时候也是吓得失眠了，第一次被甩也是天都塌了，还好没有经历被亲妈赶出家门。奶奶的话说得好，好日子都在后面呢傻孩子。永远记得戴套的人生不会糟的。
2022.56 呜呜我好喜欢 好喜欢这种电影 能feel到谈恋爱的感觉 🇮🇳小哥哥好可爱喔 戳爷好甜甜 剧情就一般 但看脸看配色还是不错的 妥妥文青
22-戳爷演的毒舌甜心我爱了，电影色彩很夏日。
可爱 感性 喜欢音乐和能说出1962年后所有奥斯卡最佳女主的男人 这不就是戳爷本戳 还有你床头那盏lava lamp 我就当你在致敬金刚狼了是不是是不是一定是的
“佐治亚理工学院”“我要专注于我的学业”，啧啧，跟我的第一任渣男一模一样。
色彩清新，配乐好听
时隔多年 戳爷还是男高中生的模样
戳爷一分，电影色彩养眼，一分
如果是想看谈恋爱啦或者看更深刻的东西
戳爷还挺可爱…为什么会有人每天骑tandem bike…关于三个月的等待期，可能很多人都会感同身受…
别的不说，贵戳这张帅脸不比橘皮性病男的嫩牛五方脸好看多了，好莱坞能不能别逮着那个男的猛薅了也来看看真帅哥（ps感觉导演是同时代人配乐全是我小时候爱听的，但就太。。想俘获什么受众的感觉太明显，完全可以称之为女大电影
目前IMDb评分7.3/64票，字幕已完成，转战下一个
