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".
音乐剧不会也是这样吧？这电影确实没啥意思，主角的错误很难被原谅，观众怎么可能因为你有心理问题就宽容你呢？
Dear Evan Hansen, thank you to give us a chance to know you and Connor Murphy. Everyone has a side of darkness and depression. We see people around us smiling in life, but we don’t see the sorrow moment of their life. You show us that in fact everyone is vulnerable, and we are not alone. So no matter how hard life is, it’s real, don’t let it go.
那场地震把所以东西都改变了……简单的一句话 只有亲身经历过的才会懂
没有期待的那么好 远远比不上歌剧版 原声都很好听 演员也都在线 Moore那首绝了
没看过音乐剧（但原声碟倒是听烂了），所以对这次电影改编还是蛮期待的，因为没有对比，觉得电影还是不错的（只是Ben的扮相也太老了吧）。
Dear Evan Hansen, you little piece of shit.
这电影太差了，他完全没有把原版内疚的感情表达出来，演的像个变态、到最后是无路可走才回头道歉，这种剧本模式真的已经过时了，这个是史蒂夫导最差的作品毫无疑问，俩个多小时完全没有必要，角色的塑造也失败到极点
3.5 有这钱学隔壁CFA出个OBC官摄，这不香嘛？PS我永远对音乐剧改编电影后新加的歌毫无感觉。
开篇，男孩在人群中不断边走边唱，周围完全没有互动，感觉真的很“神经”反而理解了印度电影里，周边的人都有互动，一起唱歌跳舞……影片演员定位不准确或者表述脱离观众，观看不是很舒服，很尴尬，而且片长130分钟，就更不容易把握了！
有些画面舞台不必呈现 有些画面电影不得不呈现 但你要是照搬着舞台的戏剧化程度这就有点unbearable了… 同一个导演能拍出壁花少年来这部里怎么就跟第一次拍电影似的？
看完！各种的无奈，要说谁是坏人，其实都不算最坏！每个人都有自己要负担的东西！真的是很无奈！
看完心情很沉重。果耶这个最佳女配角拿得实至名归。p.s.这个片名翻译得有问题啊，应该是『致那些没能得到保护的人』。
阿部宽真的太像加贺了，但我也真的对加贺无感dbq）我其实一直搞不懂濑濑敬久的风格 《友罪》和《乐园》其实和这个都总让俺有种似曾相识的感觉，演员演技和本子质量都没啥问题，但就总觉得差点什么 （但是这个电影里的kaya演的好好
20220716 311对于经历过的当事人来说，都是一个永远无法忘却的痛。而次生悲剧的产生更是所有人不愿意看到的，但是在当时的整体环境与精神状态下，悲剧就是这样产生了。砂糖从一开始就震撼到我，眼神和姿态完全不不同于以往。在这部回忆和现实大量穿插交替的片子里，他一眼就能让观众看出这是什么时候的他，不得不感叹是天才的演员啊！此外还有一场戏印象深刻，最后在海边砂糖回忆当初，无意中给出了阿部宽寻求已久的答案，阿部宽从惊讶到愤怒、燃起复仇的火焰、平复、释然、宽慰，这些情绪的变化全都写在了眼睛里，精彩至极。
you will be found和too big too small简直重磅催泪弹，但是words fail的冲击力居然没有很大。这个故事我感觉做个musical还是不错的，拍成电影一般般，可能是太冗长了
合适的阳光，合适的感动。不一定是最好，只是心情和时机对了。
案情老套，但加入了地震海啸后的人心的恢复，社会保障体系的缺失，这立意就不一样了
理解了为什么原音乐剧会在北美这么火，剧作描写角度之全面 总有一款能related ，从男主 父母 妹妹 养父母 单亲父母，还有戳中我的，学生会长代表的抑郁群体角度，全全cover了。导演依旧擅长煽情治愈那套，拍法中规中矩没啥问题，但从选中Ben Platt这张老脸的时候这片子就注定完了...论合适的casting比演技更重要。
今年最大疑惑之一是为什么DEH不直接放官摄？？？？？Ben本来减肥后就显老电影镜头里更是快老成Fred Armisen了Kaitlyn Dever看上去跟他侄女似的…虽然唱得挺好的吧 AA和Julianne Moore是不是欠了谁人情帐才接了这部…但无论如何DEH音乐剧是非常好的 Ben是非常会唱的 电影是非常非常没必要的 希望大家直接去B站搜录像看看吧……唉😮💨
还是剧版卡司太令人印象深刻了，虽然我很喜欢Ben platt唱歌但这部电影里明星他的状态已经不太适合少年。。。。另外还是Laura dreyfuss的声音更喜欢点。
