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.
青春就是这样无意义的热血吧！哪里要什么规矩人生呢！
根据真实故事改编，让人又相信了理想主义，虽然电影难免会用煽情和英雄弧光来表现这样的题材，但能被允许拍下来至少还不是毫无希望，同时能呼吁更多的人去关注少数族群被忽视的权益，故事难得还保证了推理的逻辑性，在追逐真相与公平的路上残酷现实暴露狰狞面容，所以法庭戏才会更显酣畅。
用影视渲染的方式极其快速地将观众代入了印度底层社会的惨状。印度的电影有着阿三的奇妙中二氛围。至于看了外国的电影，就开始无理由抨击、唾骂我guo司法的网友，我也不知道说什么好
向张思之、浦**、朱明勇、斯伟江、伍雷、徐昕、李庄等所有在黑铁时代坚持发出黄金辩词的中国法律人致敬！
经常去用户群几乎不重叠的各个app转一圈，同样做些摘抄。只是我的摘抄本，不是我的立场。把一个群体贴上标签，对其进行羞辱，就是“路走窄了”。任何群体观念只不过是工具，不会因为其舆论形象(甚至只是在某些群体中的形象)，就放弃一个工具。用农业社会概念套工业社会，生活是一地鸡毛。还是纠结这种事的人，脑子的概念还是农业社会里徘徊。绝不做任何一方的骂人喇叭，破坏三次元心情、拉低素质
真不说阿三国严重的社会歧视问题，至少这个国家具备自我批判，审视和通过艺术的能力。演员都太拼了，包括配角
青春是什么？是比起成为超级精英，更重要的是炒面面包。
剧场版一定得春日部防卫队集体出场才有意思，再加上选题，破案过程比隔壁的柯南剧场版强太多了，柯南就知道买日常
能拍出這樣電影的國家真的很了不起，我們還真沒有資格嘲笑India🇮🇳
听村民讲述自己的遭遇 真的很难不让人破防
这电影得分略低，我特意打了个一星去看了下意见一致的朋友们说了些什么，还真是稍微让我有些错愕。这跟韩版辩护人实际没有毛线关系哈，都不是一个立意和思维方式。看完这个电影，能让你知道人在没有社会秩序的维护下能做到有多恶。庆幸社会一直在进步，庆幸都在改变吧，这个时代全世界都变了很多，美国70年代也是各种恐怖如斯……暴力机构一点真的暴力对象搞错了，那还是很吓人的。印度的种姓制度还真是顽强呀，如此矛盾对立的国家，还真是社会学的一个奇迹。一边是部落的落后，一边是高清镜头带来的工业和科技的先进性，实在让人无法理解。看看我们之前的讽刺电影之导演技术，远远不能和这个相比。去过印度的人可能都可以感受到这种无处不在的难以理解吧。
这样的律师出现之前，有多少冤案都没人知道，不单单是一起盗窃案，更是对阶层社会的一次洗牌。印度都开始能够直面历史中的黑暗了，好像我们还有太多关于ZF的历史都要掖着藏着。
震撼、愤怒、敬畏，印度在很多人眼里依然落后贫穷充满犯罪，但这个国家敢于正面自己的缺陷，总好过一片歌舞升平，把肮脏龌龊埋葬隐藏。
想象是无法超越的！跌倒了也是你自己！动漫怎么会一直这么可爱啊！
反正还是被这种烂俗的桥段感动！蜡笔小新就是最可爱的！
3.5。本质社会意义大于电影本身吧，虽无过多视听技巧加持且人物塑造扁平了些，不过情绪感染力挺强。以印度史上真实司法案件为蓝本，探究了印度社会根深蒂固的种姓歧视、司法/执法系统公正性、底层平民的人身自由权及财产权，片名《杰伊•比姆》主要是为了颂扬这位努力为贫民阶层争取权益的原型律师。出生定终生，阶层不可逆，身为印度底层女性才真的是惨上加惨吧。
印度电影女主角开演半小时才登场很常见，但男主角快半个小时了才露面的印度电影，我是第一次见。一度以为我看错了片子，抗过前半小时的铺垫，后面越来越精彩。又是根据真是事件改编，低种姓成年人呆滞的目光和孩子们天真的眼神看着让人揪心，数次鸡皮疙瘩and数次热泪盈眶，Suriya最近的片子也开始走印度良心路线了？
拍的不咋滴，牛逼的是没有跳舞，理解不了为什么三哥什么电影都能用那种歌曲转场，就像理解不了他们说话为啥总要晃头。内容的尺度很大，这在我们这儿是无法上映的。
如果我拿了钱，我的孩子问我：我们的钱是哪儿来的？的时候，我要怎么回答呢？告诉她这是打死你爸爸的人给我们的，所以他们没有受到惩罚吗？
神作，毫无疑问的神作，印度电影一直以来质量都高得可怕，本片更是佼佼者之一，与韩国的《辩护人》各有千秋，迟早会入围豆瓣TOP250，我话就摆在这里！
