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.
#经典老电影# 李侠夫妇假扮夫妻潜入上海，利用商人身份把地下党得到的情报利用电台发出去，从抗日战争一直坚持到解放战争的前夕，最后暴露身份为国捐躯。“同志们，永别了，我想念你们。”#孙道临##袁霞##王心刚##袁丽珠#
4k黑白转彩色修复版。首部大荧幕观看的国产老片，故事丰满，情节紧凑，演员表演和情绪渲染都很到位，无论是在放在当时还是现今重温都当属一部佳片。
经典黑白彩色修复#很多细节修复得不错，尤其阳光照在金属物品上(汽车盖、灯)的质感，但是风景和植物的色彩就一般。延安的山坡变成一片粉绿，连泥土都是绿的；酒店的绿植是鲜绿色，看着像中毒。电影的剧本其实具有很大的现代化、类型化的改编空间，中国最早的谍战夫妻，看完想重温《潜伏》。如果要翻拍，强烈要求由高群书执导。尽管话剧式的伟光正表演放到现在看有点尴尬，但结合当时的创作环境，演员的信念感非常强，所以表演也都是真情流露、眼中有光，饱满的情感掩盖了剧情的漏洞。单凭这一点，今年的献礼片都可以靠边站。
十七年电影。在红色经典中算是不错的。（补记）
要论，这部片应该还有个标签，那就是“教育片”。
2021.10.8｜南京河西中央｜六十多年前的电影，演技稍微戏剧感了些，但还是能盖过现在许多演员。十年如一日肩负着共同使命的革命爱情和友情很动人！
至于好不好看……左边有小姐姐哭的稀里哗啦 右边有人睡得呼噜都打出来了
【他的点划清楚，间隔分明，真像一汪清水。】2021年，4K彩色修复。
广州大剧院放映场，这样一部 1958 年的老革命电影和多少年后前来回味的大爷大妈一同观看别有一番景象。郭富城、赵丽颖主演的《密战》可能就是翻拍自该片吧。结构完整，主旨鲜明。相较于电影本身，开场前主持人的背景知识介绍更为引人入胜。电影以真实事件为基础，当事人参与了不少拍摄工作，却拒绝一切署名权益，包括婉拒顾问头衔。可以说与影片的革命牺牲精神交相辉映。然而元老李锐先生生前对女儿的一席话又将历史拉回现实。
其实它并没有达到我平时打五星的标准，但是为着这我已经很久没有见到的真诚，我想打五星。
“同志们，永别了，我想念你们”
看的时候觉得很惊喜。流畅的长镜头运用让整部影片质感提升，1958年应该还是尚未摆脱戏剧拐杖的第三代导演，可王苹导演中已经成功地“去戏剧化”了，演员表演真实动人，场景还原用心逼真。除了时间过渡上有些突兀，整部影片还是非常值得赞许！
不知道该用什么标准打分。口碑好完全赢在了剧情和演员，艺术成就平平。几十年后的观众不再被意识形态束缚，我也只能向烈士们致敬了。“同志们，永别了，我想念你们。”
同志们，永别了，我会想念你们！
忘不了蛋糕里面藏发报机，可惜了那么大的蛋糕🎂
同志们，永别了，我想念你们！ 在般点划清楚，犹如一汪清水
一部电影开创一种类型，然后隔代遗传成了近十几年来电视剧里“上海滩”怀旧表述的几乎唯一版本。“谍战”对国人的红色想象，与德国佬的《窃听风暴》简直是两极。
主旋律电影中的上乘之作，人物形象丰满生动。
现代谍战片的师祖，无数桥段被反复致敬模仿，但从未被超越。
白小姐告诉男女主说：组织批准你们结婚了，男主的表情真是微妙：）
