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".
推荐推荐，十分好的片子，以支教为背景的故事，好几处都泪目，泪点低的人一定要准备好纸，共情点还是挺多的，最最动容的是老师和孩子之间的相处，故事从主角视角讲述的所见所闻，传达了这个地方的真善美，最后感叹一句，藏区的自然风光真的太美了
如果不从uc系的眼光来评价的话还是一部尚可的子供向作品的。
ms不像机动兵器，设定矛盾，作画虽然还行但是被这前提束手束脚。
想不到2022年能看到“我爸爸都没打过我”的高清重制！
剧本节奏比较快
故事情节相对有些老套
安彦良和还活在上世纪七十年代，这并不是说他沉溺于那个永远的U.C.0079时空，而是那个高畑勋、宫崎骏还在制作世界名作剧场动画、日本动画的自然主义写实刚刚迈出历史性一步的七十年代。或许是过时了吧，或许是老人的笨拙手工活吧，但当孩子们许愿多安与阿姆罗远离战争，此时阿姆罗早已不需要更多现代的心象世界描绘，不需要制造主观性的奇景，少年欲言又止的表情具备打动观众的灵魂力量。
是毫无印象的0079 15话的魔改。能在新的动画形态里看到RX 78就是最大的收获。故事的话，说实话已经无法被这种傻白甜故事感动了。
这个时候安彦和富野的差距就体现出来了：富野早就从UC甚至高达中脱身去创作他想要创作的作品，而安彦还在努力把1979年的遗憾填满
但凡支教过扶贫过的人看这部电影，都不会给低分的，简单纯粹，感同身受，足矣。
这部片子它把视角聚焦于来自北京的一位普通的支教老师，故事随主人公韩松初到和日村小学后，从各种不适应当地环境、习俗、饮食，到逐渐融入集体再到成为集体的一个主持者的变化一一展开。
剧情是可以的，但是整个节奏真的被剪得稀碎…
很温暖的一部电影，韩老师，孩子们，郎措大哥，梅朵，都是质朴但满怀热忱的人。
安彦版的还是温柔 也没深入战争残酷 和富野两种人 拍的更生活吧 也许人类就像马克贝最后的哈哈大笑一样 不得不去做“巴黎在燃烧”的事最后被人阻止了 会欣慰大笑 那种老式的夸张 放在新画面下 还是有点割裂感 ms战捂伤口也有点不当ms是机器 也许这是安彦的高达吧

放在30年前做成ova可能口碑会比现在好。风格比较接近于安彦的巨神高克，微妙的童话风的故事。相较于原作tv其实也就是纯扩写了。没有新的胶，NT要素也并不多，口碑相对差也可以理解。不过个人看了还是挺开心的
感觉有点平淡，不过作战和新画的元祖还是不错的
因为向往西藏，本当成记录片看了。没想到这么惊艳。美美的画风，淳朴的人民，没有夸张的渲染。就是想给编剧寄刀片，最后感人哭的不行。有点悲惨！
就凭这藏区景色，这援藏大爱也要给五分。应该是甘南草原，说的安多藏语。
这么震撼人心的电影，不知不觉就让我泪流满面！
