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.
我还在猜想，他们最终决定放弃这场太空歌剧，转而利用现有道具编排出一场临时的音乐剧，看来我还是想得太多了。
好看好看！不如第一部激动人心，但各种巧思和设计还是让人大呼过瘾～如果真有人能做出这么惊艳的舞台效果，那必须值得一个全球巡演啊！给Clay配音的是Bono，尖叫！
正好是韩国大选投票日看的，可谓是虚拟与现实交错的双重体验了，比以往选举片民主化片好的一点是直面了民主化势力的内部分裂和操作
对我而言，故事有些老套，但是顺顺还是挺喜欢的。#20220227
萌宠升级，歌舞不断，继续延续经典！希望下一部剧情更好，期待哦！
把法术式三条剖析的清清楚楚，想看黑暗政治故事的要失望了。
马修麦康纳的声音可以这么cute的吗，我真的是一点没听出来
还是那一套，不给机会，硬上，这已经成了这类题材的固定模式了。没什么特别出彩的地方，普普通通。歌曲也就那么回事儿吧。角色动机啊，转变啊，都体现不出来。
作为续集基本维持了上部的优秀水准，流行音乐元素加满，各种梗的设计也很有趣。故事依旧老套，不过这也许不重要。另外，那头金毛公牛为什么人设那么像布拉德皮特。😂
故事差点又怎么样，依然是一场肆意挥霍音乐与色彩的视听盛宴，太爱这种奢侈了
等等！moon的那个富二代绵羊好兄弟艾迪去哪了！怎么能没有他啊？！为什么只有moon能请得动隐居15年的暴躁摇滚传奇巨星？因为他派出的可是斯嘉丽约翰逊（青少年豪猪版）啊！这谁能拒绝！？远不如第一部，但氛围无敌
毫无野心的简单合家欢剧情，热门流行歌动画版大赏，可能投资大头都放在版权了。放松大脑和视听的小点心电影。
剧情bug不少 娱乐娱乐还不错 寡姐嗓音真棒！
故事上很弱很散，不过制作和音乐很好，最后那一段表演也确实很精彩。
第二部和第一部比起来场面大了些，惊喜少了些，从头就能看到尾的作品，确乎过于模式化了一点。
1⃣️虽然还是套路满满但没有第一部细腻，2⃣️太空场景实在好看3⃣️喜欢：“nothing lose”的猪妈妈，勇于自荐的狼女，真心关心的刺猬，想象力拉满的Gunter .4⃣️羊羊和小老鼠不在了sad
有几首我喜欢的歌加成max（狼毛感觉很好摸的样子(⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)
视听感受level+1，人物刻画level-1
正义属于胜利者，虽然不认同，但事实如此！政治选举没有干净公平正义一说～理想主义者可以从政，但他背后必须要有一群影子幕僚行走在黑暗中～
太好看了！！！！哈哈哈哈！配乐拿捏太到位，猩猩不想练芭蕾，给的舞蹈是普罗科菲耶夫，还是钢琴伴奏！哈哈哈哈细节太棒了！满分💯！
