剧情介绍

  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".

    在这部里松散的现代结构并没有给故事带来什么不可言喻的神秘,以往围绕人物、关系、环境、时代或氛围的诡异组织能力消失了,二人关系角力的核心并没有足够强大的吸引力和能量,我们也就几乎看不到镜头语言服务到的理念对象是什么,它不够持续而只是局部上单一的技术层面的好看而已(几个奔跑的长镜),于是我们便该意识到以往pta电影里的一部分魔力是来源于演员表演对角色本身核心意志的把握和于其外表、行为中四散而出也不可捉摸部分地准确演绎的结合。

    两个盖茨比,看完之后讨论为什么叫甘草披萨,我解读,甘草味道冲,爱的人很爱比如我有一个小学同学每天吃甘草片,不爱的人闻见就想吐,比如茴香酒,但是又因为在披萨上,披萨没人不爱,这个故事就是这种感觉

  • 卢雅素 5小时前 :

    2022.2.4 中间影院 简直是太胆大妄为,直接就把各种有名的桥段搬过来,比如雨中曲……平时线下这么干就算了,大荧幕也太不要脸了。整个电影的布景很塑料,就是现场话剧的简易舞台。想法不错,梗还可以,看着还是可以一笑的。

  • 宛静秀 7小时前 :

    把《甘草披萨》看成“怀旧主题公园”,实际上对73、74年这段时间美国政经状况的无知。PTA看似是在写两个人的分分合合,其实是透过两个人,在种种趣味横生的人物和情节中,折射出两种截然不同的生存方式和背后的危机:水床背后是第一次石油危机,市长竞选背后是水门事件危机,“没油倒车”和“同性男友”两场戏都以小见大地暗示着当时美国人内心巨大的不安定感和挫败感。几个神经质的人物也各有所指:西恩·潘是好莱坞,库珀是嬉皮士-曼森…PTA给出了一个浓缩的街景,时代的万花筒。当然,最重要的是这真的是一部让人从头笑到尾的喜剧。

    While acknowledging the artfulness and the technical superiority, I cannot help but ask.... why. No, literally, why?!

  • 扬尔白 5小时前 :

    介于2-3⭐之间吧。 剧情简单,中间儿子桥段实在多余而且煽情。 喜剧最核心的,其实是演员,男主看得出用心了,可这东西确实需要天赋。 我相信男主是个不错的喜剧电影配角,但主演,他撑不起来。

  • 嘉鸿 3小时前 :

    时代风暴总是想裹挟更多人发表短暂、明确的政治立场和诉求,只有少数作者坚定书写更深远议题,不是保守,而是对现实有更深层关注。如同电影把一对普通爱情置于中心,那些纷扰的人物群像,混杂着作者对70s的记忆,被搭建成令人眩晕却很深厚的生活背景,它仿佛没有怀旧,而是告诉我现实是从那里而来,有些特质已被我们遗忘。于是,整个观看过程像在一整个数码大海里,析出一颗黑胶唱片素质的小小晶体。甘草糖令他们迷恋,它有奇特、令我难以忍受的香料味道,像片中的两场车戏,你欲风驰电掣,我却被跌落原地,你欲驶向黑色沼泽,我只得被迫倒车,生活让我拥有了动人姿态,并让更多人因我而共鸣。

    It’s 2021 and I really don’t need to see a badly told story with boring characters, filled with racism/sexism jokes. I don’t give a fuck about anything that happens in this film. The romance is so cheap. The not-coming-anywhere-coming-of-age story is so cheap. Seriously???

  • 云静淑 6小时前 :

    哈哈哈哈哈非常好笑!!!-I'm cooler than you. Don't forget it. -I don't need you to tell me whether I'm cool or not, old lady.

  • 商妍芳 6小时前 :

    复古色调,长长运镜,那个时候的洛杉矶真美,随处是充满希望的美国梦叙事。故事有些老套,奔跑的场景也在青春爱情类型片中出现了无数次,但这部电影里就运用得很好,那种不顾一切的奔赴的冲动,把众人甩在身后,把洛杉矶甩在身后,一切都沦为他们爱情的背景板,太动人了。

  • 山晓灵 8小时前 :

    略失望。背景音乐造型都到位,纯正70年代风,还请了好几个明星客串,可故事咋就讲得这么平铺直叙没高潮呢,最后小妹咋就和小胖子花好月圆呢,因为导演代入了自己?拍电影不是再现自己经历过的一切,而是进行艺术的创作啊导演同志

  • 墨山菡 2小时前 :

    2.5 超过七天的爱情都是妥协,不知道PTA怎么会在倒车戏后接这样一个“大圆满”结局,无限压榨独立女性生存空间,是不是自己都不知道自己在拍什么?

  • 冉谨佳 2小时前 :

    可能在现在这个时间点上显得太私人太无关痛痒了,但总归应该容得下这种作品的存在。

  • 时格菲 7小时前 :

    就如卡车以倒车的方式下坡 不用依靠石油提供动力 《甘草披萨》也可以称为重力电影 所有时间和冲突都回到私人情感的纬度 而这又无不是时代的情绪 西恩潘或是库博的角色都好有趣 “你喜欢吃花生酱三明治吗?”

  • 卫星 0小时前 :

    在连续拍摄了那些偏执,迷离,缺爱的男性之后,PTA以轻松姿态拍了一部关于“小大人”的电影,一个佯装精英,另一个稚气未脱,他们嗅到什么动机,PTA就跟到哪里,松散的结构是反成功学的,这些构成影片的一个个小事件本身——舞台表演、政治话术、酒后癫狂、以及“成年人”本身,永远无法汇聚成河流,唯有难以捕捉的情感,在轨道镜头的奔跑下去见证个体的联结。

  • 升振 5小时前 :

    吐了,白眼翻上天,欣赏不来。复古怀旧画风➕音乐像一包高甜棉花糖,齁死。马上30了,这种青春片真的不想再看了,看完我整个灵魂都空虚了,不知道自己为什么要浪费自己珍贵的两个小时在这种自以为是的东西上…

  • 宜佑运 4小时前 :

    无法共情,以及,开始对80年代的故事感到厌倦。

    勉强3.5…是失望的…

  • 宰璠瑜 6小时前 :

    趁男人还没变馊之前爱他,PTA的纯爱不是奶糖,而是甜中带甘。

  • 博休 5小时前 :

    这部应该算是经典的给观众强喂狗屎味的豆汁儿了 演员全部超级关系户 丑且出戏严重 讲的故事是导演小时候村里的鸡毛蒜皮且毫无看点 这也能拿奥斯卡提名 行吧 PTA你厉害
