回复 :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. SHIMON@lounge.moviecodec.com
回复 :以系列纪实故事反映公益主题的纪录片《真情来电》在上海电影节展映，制片人孙健君介绍，影片借鉴了《纽约我爱你》开创的由不同风格的大师导演联手完成一部命题影片的形式，云集了陆川、张一白、章家瑞、杜海滨、黄睿、张自立几位导演，由7个独立的故事组成。纪实公益影片《真情来电》10月7日电影频道首播影片组成的7个短片平均每部约十多分钟，从不同侧面、角度、地域展现了各群体、各年龄层的中国人之间的亲情、爱情和友情。孙健君表示，由于该片是以公益为主题，总投资也仅有几百万元，采用的大多是非职业演员，参与该片的导演们也都是不计报酬，因此也赋予了导演们充分的自由创作空间。不过孙健君坦言，这类题材影片的市场前景并不乐观，所以将主要依靠海外发行，此次也是想通过上影节的展映了解观众的反响，如果效果不错才会考虑在国内发行上映。该片创作源于为电信日拍摄的公益电影，其中也有中国移动的赞助。对于这一难免的广告植入，孙建君则表示影片“很干净”：“原本只有一句中国移动的台词，也被他们的掌门人王建宙自己删掉了。因为他觉得影片描写了整个电信行业的价值———为人类的沟通所作出的贡献，他为此已经很满意、很感动了，不想破坏影片的公益性质而使之变成广告。”
