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".
男友气呼呼说他小时候最讨厌风间了 风间会想为了达成目的抛弃朋友 我好不忍心告诉他 好多时候 我在生活中 就是那个风间 我也想改啊 可感化我的新酱呢
最后，想对能看到这条评论的有缘人说：“有机会一定要抓住‘权’，保持良知，你的一个微小善举，可以改变很多人的命运，让事态变好起来！”
勇敢大胆的做自己喜欢开心事情，不要害怕他人的嘲笑。
取决于他用才能 去做什么
巅峰之一的日剧跑，最后的新风奔跑串联起整个剧情需要，所谓菁英的虚衔名号，跑步不好看他人的嘲笑，34代目传承的感召，不喜欢人类却喜欢你的宣告，来自父母最深切的关照，以及对朋友所向披靡的闪耀，构成了一切青春的美好。
正所谓“地也，你不分好歹何为地？天也，你错勘贤愚枉做天！”惟愿公平正义满人间，窦娥冤屈永世休！
节奏很好，但是过于套路，双方人物刻画，探案剧情都很套路，没有一个令人印象深刻的人物。法院权力很大，还能判决给部落土地。
印度低种姓这种按照种族划分人群的制度至今依旧存在，影响是根深蒂固的，极其负面。影片基于这样一个背景，揭露这种体制下种种不公正待遇。一个抓蛇人含冤入狱被殴打致死，正义的律师克服万难，冤情才得以洗刷。但凡有关人权的议题，都与我们无关，一个在我们这无从展开的话题，就连探讨别人影片的内容都成了禁忌。递刀子这事肯定不能干，别人拿着刀子自己捅自己，我们驻足观看都不行——这就是现行审查制度铁一样的逻辑所在。与后来的《宿敌》立意接近，关照现实，意义深远。就表达方式和技巧而言是陈旧的、甚至是落后的。
【3.0】和大多数取材自真实事件的印度商业片一样过度依赖情绪煽动力，冲突几乎都是由戏剧化的镜头直给，法庭戏也全是对白推进。整体上看，剧本和拍摄都谈不上优质。钱德鲁是位令人肃然起敬的伟大的人权律师，他和他的官司值得更得章法的传记片呈现，及格分是给这个人物的。
下载观看。写了一点东西外加一个影评在日记里。电影是抹黑一个国家最好的工具。印度，无可救药
有阳光的地方就有黑暗，但敢于直面黑暗，就是勇气，就是干净又卫生...
母亲说：我可以骄傲地告诉我的孩子，虽然我败诉了，但是我从没有放弃抗争。ps：印度版的《辩护人》，杰伊·比姆，在印度本土被译为：比姆万岁。
类型化做的挺好的，虽然废戏很多，但节奏还算紧凑，通篇叙事都很流畅。但这也是这部电影最大的问题，为了节奏，很多都太直给了。比如：拍弱者一定是非常夸张的俯拍，拍施暴警察一定是超低角度的仰拍。再比如律师思考的时候，喜欢拍网球，还自言自语（跟廖凡一样）。这些过于“油腻的类型化”的拍摄与叙事技巧往往降低了影片的现实质感与可信度。
低种族出身，就像剔骨难消的出厂设置，在印度成为低劣人种、品行败坏的刻板标签。此种语境下，遭受黑警惨绝人寰的暴行依然坚守自己清白的丈夫，成为穷途末路上捍卫自身正义的献祭者。始终拒绝和谈、不向当权者低头的妻子，仿若莅入人间炼狱、争取平权社会的湿婆真身。而以良知和专业毅然对抗国家机器的律师，外加不愿同流合污的督察组成的双雄搭档，最终成为印度腐朽司法体制的破局者，奉献了这场属于“贱民阶级”的公正胜利。文本依然很印度，法庭抗辩和调查取证过程紧凑而跌宕。就是前情铺垫和歌舞混剪显得拖沓冗余，如果去掉奇观化、风情化表达，剪到120分钟会更好看。
不仅是是印度的《辩护人》，正义律师为平民打抱不平的故事，而且也谈及了印度的种姓制度、男女不公、警察暴力、滥用职权等…如果一部电影能够改变一个国家，那他就有了现实意义，格局大了
早已注定，我只能在荆棘中采拾鲜花。这是狂人穆里尼奥的名言。给原型。
你永远可以相信蜡笔小新！！
不明白为何这种题材还要唱歌跳舞，每次男主出现的时候，后面的配乐总觉得在哪个好莱坞大片里出现过。
现实意义固然重大，但作为一部电影、一个故事，刻板是它的致命缺陷。主角基本就不是个活人，而是一个兼具侦探和律师双重身份、金光闪闪的神祇。叙事节奏也过分拖沓，充满了无关紧要的细枝末节。但我同时仿佛也能够听见印度电影人在说：是的，这片土地上充满了苦难、屈辱、不公和腐败，但所幸我们还有独立的司法和批评的权利。浑浊的黑暗中仍有光芒存在，愤怒终有回响。那至少在这一点上，我羡慕他们。
我想说，印度电影的进步，逐日一般迅猛啊-----影片的主题是“很满意自己根据良心做出的决定”。
