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".
能不能禁止一下非正常老死去世三十年以内的天皇巨星拍传记电影……形象太深入人心，怎么选角都很难。王丹妮的梅艳芳太漂亮，气场不行，少了江湖气，走在夜场里太像个女白领。梅艳芳是个没有少女期的女人。而我即便不算荣迷，看到这样的张国荣也想打……那个时候的香港娱乐圈闪闪金光没有拍出来。黑社会纷争一笔带过，倒也是可以理解。最打动人的，还是那些真人影像。2003年就这样在眼前，无法不哭。香港精神，夕阳之歌。
不是梅粉，自从知道有这部电影就没想要看。但机缘巧合还是看了。结果暴哭。这是在拍梅艳芳，也是在拍亲情、友情、爱情、责任、义气。和张国荣那段和《女人花》响起时，真的太好哭了。电影院所有人看完字幕才起立。
Leslie是不是第一次有人在大熒幕上扮演他？
边看边写！好多年没看到这样优秀的美国喜剧片了！我笑了！大叔胡子剪掉后有点像憨豆的演技了！前半段笑了好几次，太久太久美国喜剧片没有让我笑了！大叔的妈妈过世那一段教堂发言让我流泪了！这部电影把事业，亲情，爱情，友情……全都描述到了，非常全面，虽然故事情节有点老套，但让我感动了！好电影
资源名幕前情人。为什么要喜欢别人的老公？偷情很爽吗？骑车的时候专心点，别走神。葬礼致辞很温情。
也许最令人不满意的还是张国荣的扮演。说句也许讨人厌的话，张国荣的戏份如果成功了，这电影分会加不少，即使它叫《梅艳芳》。不批评王丹妮，确实努力了，很多镜头看到了梅姑的样子，即使受限于外形，但有时的一颦一笑一眼神，对味了。编剧拖了一些后腿，既然是传记，那就得贴近现实本身，太多津津乐道的故事一个不小心就会被发现破绽，反而降低了电影的可信度。确实有感动的部分，如果再好一点就更好了。
最后Olivia还是没有和Antonio在一起，好可惜
大部分人流眼泪不是因为梅艳芳一个人，而是她名字后面所代表的，那个时代，那群人。我看到她在香港街头穿梭，一步一步走向她的巨星时代，她不是唯一一个，一颗星星闪烁不美丽，万千星辉才惊艳。我看到哥哥，看到片尾不断闪出的老照片，甚至是dodo姐，还有许多前辈，艺术家，你很难不被深深打动。一个人在仰望星空的时候是只觉得美好的，他不会遗憾的，但是艺术是需要陨落的。梅艳芳这部电影情怀牌打的太足了，他几乎是把一整片璀璨再现，又告诉你如何陨落，你是很难不流泪的。少一颗星是因为剧情，节奏，演员三方面都有欠缺。
电影拍的有点流水…真实展现了梅姐生平和梅姐的百变，坚韧，善良，真性情…美化了部分角色…
作为粉丝的粉丝也收货吧，虽然是有各种不足，爱情两段看困了...能在大荧幕看到栋栋还是激动享受的！（也是第一次和栋家姐妹面基观影特别有纪念意义了）
多一颗吧 看的挺温暖 妈妈为什么去世呜呜呜
看的是老杨和老江参加谢映会的场，影片和整个观影过程都非常复古港风怀旧。王丹妮的演绎有惊艳到我，丝毫没有出戏。但电影还是美化了一些人物。。但给了更多路人，打开探寻真相的一个口，就也够了吧
104号。比法国原版更丰满，情感做得也更丰沛，很喜欢男主这个演员，可塑性无比强。
很简单的故事，意外的很喜欢，在这终于要解封的夜晚。

如果许鞍华没有拍第一炉香而是导【梅艳芳】，我相信一定会成为当代的经典。可惜现在这部电影成品过于流水账，还不如拍成纪录片，梅姑很多经典的演出其实今天看来依然是绝佳的流行icon。这位新人演员气质撑不起来，另外，演哥哥的那位演员，请问你谁啊？
感受到了人物传记片的拍摄难度。真实的人总是极为复杂多面的，生活的不同阶段的质感可能也很难不割裂。真实的人物经历可能有很多用戏剧语言来看突兀无铺垫的地方。整体来看，无论事件安排还是人物情绪情感的流动和个性焦点的呈现看起来很多断裂的地方，但大多数观众或许也可以自行脑补，毕竟是8090后都很熟悉的大明星。
挺烂俗的，不过最后两个主角没在一起只是当朋友是好评，反正休闲是不错的。
【2】让一个被创作者主动阉割的形象在银幕上再次盛放，Anita本人绝对不会接受。更何况这浮光掠影的片段化叙事，根本找不到重心所在，反复插入的纪录影像难道不是心虚？外表相像与否没那么重要，无法捕捉出对象的灵魂才最遗憾。
I don't like this story，女主最后的发型太可了……
