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.
警察犯罪漏洞太大了，这也给律师很多的机会，没有摔跤好看，感觉差了点意思，为真实的律师点赞，有信仰才有希望
好人，坏人和法官都过于符号化，但至少这样的题材人家敢拍
优点是在1995年的时候，印度就有人权律师在为公平正义勇敢作斗争了吗？在2021年印度电影可以把这样的有历史性的"错误"事件以夸张手法搬上大荧幕了吗？印度人在艰难地为自己为生活争取权利，以血泪淌出人权的路……我们啊，差的不是一点两点！
这是印象中我看过的揭露政府机构腐败的最真实最朴素的现实题材电影。印度某帮某部落没有政治权利的底层人种，一直遭受当地警察的欺压，运用暴力将人逼供致死，诬陷人顶罪。本片男主人公之一的拉贾坎努就被打死在狱中，得知这个心里真不是滋味。电影非常走心，时间很长，但是并不乏味，在律师钱德鲁的争取下，庭审一直在持续，每次听证时间很短，但是都是律师争取到的宝贵开庭机会。印度在现实题材电影方面不逊色于韩国。

2021冷门佳作top2 2022-1-14 一个超级烂的片名，一个超级好的电影！164分钟一丁点也没有觉得长，这就是好电影的魅力，丝丝入扣娓娓道来，跌宕起伏酣畅淋漓！印阿三天性乐观，在不富裕甚至在地图都无法标注，姓氏来由都不详的小村落欢歌笑舞，他们对未来生活怀揣美好憧憬。不幸的是ZF相关机构充当了HSH的角色，肆意妄为的蹂躏他们，践踏他们的灵魂。他们孤立无援，看着真TMD绝望，女主多少次鬼哭狼嚎的嘶吼，咆哮他们的神失明吗？人间堪比地狱神不管管吗？悲痛欲绝之时，一个正义的律师拽住她们，给他们希望，一步一步走向光明。人类文明走过几千年，是踩着一页又一页的黑暗史走到今天。想起我同学的一句话“我们在黑暗中摸索”，我们只要还不是无比光明，说明我们还存在黑暗。人类历史就是一部争战史，就是一部流血史，就
可以拍得更好，但是这类电影实在太难拍了，因为一个案子背后是无数个不公正的累加，而且层层递进。很容易想到斯坦福监狱实验，但是更深刻的是不公正的本质究竟是什么？面对这个拷问，我们似乎只能寄希望于德性与良心。
我们惊叹电影真敢拍的时候，现实却比电影残酷得多
可惜我们无法在中国电影里看到个人对体制的诘问。
能拍、敢拍这样的题材值得表扬，但是从艺术的角度看，拍的太过脸谱化，以至于不吸引人。
印度版的《辩护人》，但是格局没有展那么开，辩护人对抗的近乎整个体系，杰伊比姆是依托现有的法律寻求公义，所以抛开电影里令人发指的暴行之外，杰伊比姆所依托的法律显得还是靠谱的。同时融入了对印度种姓制度的批判，一直理解不了这种制度怎么能存留到二十一世纪的。真实叙事时间两个小时，剩下一个小时印度歌曲。
妻子一次次不畏强权，被部落首领威胁，警察威胁，更高地位的人威胁，数次以为她，一个失去丈夫，怀孕带着女儿的农村妇女即将对命运妥协，拿着协商的钱，过下半生时，她都选择挺起胸脯站起来，与其说是律师伸张正义，不如说是颠覆低种族人的一种反抗。
问:3万亿，17万亿，23万亿，三个以美元计价的经济体有何不同？
美国应该去印度追究人权反人类罪，不分青红皂白的打老百姓
三星半。不能给太多，怕太骄傲。比较商业片，非常努力让观众能看懂。胜在题材承担着足够的社会性，选角也极具魅力。但是还是逃不过印度片比较夸张的表达方式，还是不太符合个人审美。
作为一部类型片，有些地方的处理实在太目的话了，几乎是一点美感都没有，好直白。但作为电影，镜头内的美术设计、镜头语言都是看着很舒服的。而接近三个小时的电影，节奏也一直在线，张弛有度。歌舞环节，音乐还是最好的背景，取代舞蹈的是镜头内的自然风光和人物状态，电影的连贯性在这一点上做得很普世化。
想起之前刘庸拍的加尔各答一镜到底街景，
问:3万亿，17万亿，23万亿，三个以美元计价的经济体有何不同？
7.8 印度人民神话，律政英雄形象抚慰暴政。相当细腻地刻画，困难的反转的幅度不是很大。再次申明影视化的回忆的残缺性和不真实，拱卫对官方说法的不够真实的批判。
影片的现实意义非凡，几乎可以忽略其艺术性，不同地域、不同时代、不同环境，却能让大多数人感同身受，除了来自真实事件的震撼，本片主创人员的专业素养也扎实过硬，其实难的不是敢不敢拍，而是在一部电影的时间内让人产生共情。
