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".

如果说“我命由我不由天”太过空泛，《雄狮少年》只是让你重新想起心中的鼓点。它讲的根本不是改变命运或实现梦想这些口号式的话题，因为输赢不重要，成功与否不重要，自身以外的价值评判体系不重要。主角的人生可能只有这一个高光时刻，之后和所有普通人一样打工为生活奔波。那又怎样，那个高光时刻足以照亮今后的漫长黑夜。
从《我不是药神》开始，我觉得有些悲壮的事情能商业化讲述，挺好。
这个简介太不走心了吧
院线片愿意把目光投向留守少年的生活与梦想，比卖力渲染的“燃”宝贵很多倍，但剧情走向的潦草（尤其前半段）太过瞩目，实在不是几首应景的好歌就能应付过去的。
前半个小时嗤之以鼻就这？越到后面越膜拜，整片节奏太好，悬念依次拉开，最后的热血也不觉得假。好片。
以为开始的场场暴行就是人间炼狱了，谁知道真相被揭开时才体会到果然是恶魔在人间。印度时不时就会蹦出一些影片，能够用独特的角度去批判现实。本片只能看一遍，身心都经受不起。
这个简介太不走心了吧
国漫之光啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊
眯眼画风着实接受无力，借鉴网梗的尴尬笑点更使本就缓慢的叙事节奏更加难熬，唯一亮点的南方地域刻画一旦脱离五条人与九连真人便全然丧失感染力。不能理解这样一部故事平庸、叙事乏力、人设套路、美学崩坏的影片，为何被捧上神坛？多数人缺少的并非是怒吼的勇气，却恰是与生活鏖战的耐心以及与苦难交手终生的底气。
主角：“你相信奇迹吗？”
印度电影永远在拿捏观众情绪及共鸣上处于世界顶级地位！观看的过程虽然能清醒的认识到拍摄水平、配音水平、叙事方式模式化等诸多小毛病，但就是让你铁了心的觉得瑕不掩瑜，自动忽略。近两年看印度电影真的有点上头。
优缺点都突出，前期蓄势期极差。生硬转折尴尬，文戏不够喊口号歌曲凑，师母陈壮成等一众闪光点多面性塑造的可能，都未深入挖掘，全员工具人。同样热血滑稽化的演出用了五次。吊诡的是，这全然没阻挡后期感情浑然天成一气呵成喷薄而出。前半有多嫌恶，后半就有多欣喜。
技术没的说了，情感和人物也都没拖后腿，送去奥斯卡没准真能搏一搏呢……
1、女孩子的梦想要靠男去实现。女阿娟：我爸妈不让我舞狮，我本希望能在第六届舞狮大赛上看到一个和我一样名字的少年；2、阿珍靠卖咸鱼送咸鱼去实现咸鱼强舞狮的梦想，为了男甘于奉献；3、男阿娟：妈妈，你在家好好照顾爸爸和爷爷，赚钱的事就靠我了 等等。自己做个记录
大银幕上已经很久看不到穷人了。这是2003年左右的故事，我才意识到，我们国家这些年的确是发展得好快，即便是建筑工人，工资还是不错；留守儿童也都长大了，有的都成了爸妈。但国家强大的背后，很大程度上正是由于牺牲了底层劳动者对于感情的诉求。当然，文本还是有一些瑕疵，但是这种题材的国漫当然应该支持。 歌好好听，让我想起了2020年的乐夏，五条人出息了啊！开片就是《道山靓仔》，中间还有椅子乐队的歌，但歌曲之间稍微有点密集，不免有煽情的嫌疑；我很喜欢彩蛋，几个简单的镜头把人瞬间拉回现实。奇迹是给努力的人，但有些现实是即便努力也打不败的。
8.5分，这个片子激起了人的愤怒，所以才能有这么强劲的力量。
我欠《雄狮少年》一张电影票啊啊啊啊啊
一个角度：那么几部印度片看下来让我觉得，有些宗教是真的害人。
仅仅因为能拍就得到了好评。电影本身问题很多，挖掘的深度相对这个时长是不够的，靠歌曲烘托的气氛反而把题材的严重性冲淡了，坏死体系对申诉的阻力无从体现等等。看完查了一下才知道片名的涵义，按表现手法还以为是律师英雄的名字。（看的版本翻译奇烂，可能影响细节）
