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".
故事是清晰的，哪怕通过不同角色视角的叙述隐去部分事实，事件的真相仍然明确。所以视角上转换的意义，在于人心的真相。玛格丽特从反复的被叙述，被介绍，被观察中走出，在最后一章真实地走到你的面前，我们才终于能发现她的悲悯，她的疑虑和她的愿望。角色视角的变换带来了情节上轻微的重叠，而这种重复的意义，在于当你再一次被带回那个场景，面对已经知晓的即将发生的侵犯，你会切实地感受到比第一次目睹时更痛切，更无力的悲哀。这种悲哀在随后傲慢的谎言和轻蔑的指控中让我们真正和玛格丽特站在了一起。最后，在一场野蛮的决斗马戏过后我们才终于明白，决斗没有任何的胜利者，对于三个人来说，这都是一场彻头彻尾的悲剧。
罗生门叙事处理的很出彩，把这个有些简单明了的故事拍的很浑厚。服化道各方面极其考究，尤其是光线的运用非常出色，真是不可多得的古装佳作
荒谬被拍得荡气回肠，核心的好看点还是在于荒谬本身。相比司机的暴行，达蒙和女主的关系更让人窒息，而且达蒙最后那次，也是强暴（女主应该连两个人一起告！）所以三个人的视角确实缺一不可。繁复感很奢侈。
已夸了一篇大作文。补充一个小不满，巴演员头太大了OTZ导致那幕共度良宵后两人披着衣服赤裸相拥只露出头的经典一幕佐藤健的脸看着小很多，画面不够美了。佐藤健凭此系列就可以说是演艺生涯一个高峰了，就是那么精彩，活的剑心，完美演绎。真人版五部前后十年，有幸都是在电影院看的，感谢命运的相遇，一个完美的句号🙏
长久以来女性作为生育工具被男性当作附属品，我猜幸好女性还可以生育，否则就会变成猪圈狗窝里的生物，仅仅在发泄兽欲时被需要。她们只是个洞，恰好容纳魔鬼的折磨，知道这千百年的历史，才能知道祈求爱情是女性的一厢情愿。雷德利始终的忠实追随者。
小伙伴说全剧最感动的地方竟然是再一次见到鸟羽伏见 // 砂糖跟江口叔的年龄感很难被convince这是背负的过去。巴毫无角色发展，村花本身的人设又八字不合，再再再再再次感叹为什么不是优来演...以及我对红狼的滤镜也撑不住了。相较之下最终章的两部很难讲哪一篇更糟糕，心情大概就是啊终于结束了 // OOR也不再是那个OOR了 // 7月31日网飞
太喜欢了，绝对会是我年度十佳的片子。把对女性的关怀视角和中世纪真实的最后一个法律决斗故事结合，实在是新颖，确实是从古至今的女性悲歌，想雷老爷子致敬！强奸是否属实完全取决于两个男人武力决斗的胜利，实在是荒谬，而最后国王和百姓的狂欢都送给了男主，没有女主什么事。三个视角中小细节的不同太有意思了，比如两个男主都觉得是自己大度破冰，一样的台词但是是不同的人说的，比如女主逃上楼时掉下的鞋子。不过就算事实真的是第二个版本的，也完全是个强奸啊，很难想象男人会把这样的互动也理解为你情我愿。另外Jodie太美了。
真人版可以看做是对OVA的临摹复刻，虽然没有神一般的配乐加持，但原作内容80%都还原出来了。个人比较喜欢对十字疤的改动，爱恨纵横的两刀，是怨念也是原谅，终将伴随浪客一生。就这样完结吧，可以了...
同一事件的真相从当事者三人的角度各自讲了一遍，只有女主所代表的章节才是真的真相。可以说是罗生门式的叙事，从某种意义上讲也是金刚川式的。
《罗生门》版的《最后的审判》，男权社会下女性的悲哀，作为妻子只能算作是男性的财产，他根本不关心你的感受只在乎自己的财产是否受到损害。小变态得戏路不错，我太吃司机的颜了可惜是个天杀的强奸犯。虽然加入了女性视角来表达女性之苦，但终究是男性导演，拍的还不够深入细腻。
7.0 罗生门式叙事，落点在于那个时代看清荒谬本质的女性个体。
連續兩週的週一都能在大銀幕上看到我家戀愛少女，也太令人太開心了吧！雖然這次劇情一開始我有點懵，Chapter2的時候將信將疑，直到Chapter3瑪格麗特視角的時候os「だろね呵呵。 」一句話點評「最史詩級的小三片&我以為去看了歷史劇沒想到是個女權片」。 2021.10.18 in.ユナイテッド豊洲
记得梁雪村在谈日韩矛盾的时候讲到，韩国之所以在慰安妇问题上死死抓住不放，并不是因为这段历史伤害了韩国的女性，而是因为这段历史伤害了韩国的男性。“如果你们真的那么在意女性的痛苦，现在就应该平等地尊重女性。” （想一想为什么“cnm”比“f**k you”的侮辱性更大）
雷德利斯科特今年已经84岁了，还那么高产，关于拿破仑的新片马上也要开拍了，女主还是朱迪科默，祝他老人家长命百岁。
那些贵妇是怎样觉得男二是帅哥的？搞笑。据说这叫丑帅。好吧，英文应该没这个词。
以三个人的视角分别讲述，每个人因为立场不同感受不同，这样的视角变化并不新鲜，而且这些不同对于剧情没有任何推进，反而显得非常重复和拖沓。

真tdd看笑了 啥都是女人的错 要点脸吧 第三部分持续发笑 现在看来 RS的确是伪平权的代表人物 patriarchy几大要素 1、女人是男人的附属品 地位低下（各方面 包括话语权决策权等） 2、女人的首要任务是生育 3、 普信男妈宝男泛滥 4、（大）部分女人跟着男人欺负女人 / 笑死 有男的说这部片女权给不出高分 两边不讨好的电影是真的少见
从对历史的还原度角度出发，已经做到了极致了。并没有所谓的对错的区别，只有不同的视角下面对同一个事情的做出的反应。 但是发生在法国的一个故事，结果全程英文来表达，略显奇怪。特别是用英语发音法国地名的时候。话说法国里摩日我还去过呢。
原以为影片要走刚正不阿战胜奸猾小人的路线，没想到是以伪罗生门的形式，迂回且生动地展现了那个时代男主自身的局限和女主遭受的不公，其间的矛盾冲突即便放到现世依然值得警醒，确实耐人寻思，回味无穷。
