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".
摄影剪辑和表演都有点糙，浪费了一个好题材。
威逼加利诱，即可令人斗志涣散，马图斯还是太小农思想了。看评论里有网友们认为巴西落后才会如此，他们难道不知道黑砖窑、卖淫组织、传销、拐卖妇女的事仍在上演吗，为什么假装看不到身边事？
作为社会底层的人，你是顺从还是反叛？是舔狗还是抗争？命运一直都在自己的脚下，就看自己怎么走？
前半段挺好，后面上讲台开始有点跳。一个路人可以点醒你的人生，而一个老师可以给你展现地狱。这也是我的亲身经历。必须要说，韩国的青少年演员真的优秀。
这部可以8分，表面的光鲜亮丽遮盖了底层的苦难，简直就是阳光下的罪恶，巴西的“盲井”，即“贩卖”人口，还强制劳动，限制人身自由，逃不掉的。男主小男孩最后多半会称为卢卡那样的人，底层出来的更了解底层的人性、现实，只是他更有文化有头脑。
影片质量还可以，不过金东辉看不出哪帅，标准的韩国脸，青春痘太多了，我觉得还挺丑的。根据自己学习数学时的亲身体会+看着两个儿子学习数学时的经历，我相信所有牛X的理科男，首先都是建立在有天份的基础上+再有后天的努力才成功的，这门科学决不是光靠后天努力和所谓的勇气就能成功的。我给4星7.2分！
复杂又轻松的剧情，看着还挺温暖，美好的生活美好的未来美好的向往。
-有勇气的人，解不出题时不生气或者放弃，而是说着这道题真难，要不明早再挑战吧，要有这种放松的心态，那就是一个数学家该有的勇气
【巴西】到目前为止，留下最深刻印象的一部。整体感觉是面面俱到，并且完全不因为想实现的东西而变得繁赘。聚焦社会讨论（现代奴隶，人口贩卖，青少年伤害 etc.）的篇幅和Mateus最终命运的剧情悬念之间拥有很微妙的折中。角色的工作路线和日常生活，如同一档观察类纪录节目，看尽这里的动荡与置身其中的暗无天日；却又始终为他能否“逃出生天”，进行铺路。哪里都做对了，也就合适了。
我们不曾看过朝鲜电影去表达对统一的表达，并不代表朝鲜的人民不想，只是他们发不出声音而已。同样，我们也是闭嘴了许多年的民族，很多问题不是没有，它存在，只是我们选择掩盖……
大鱼吃小鱼，小鱼吃虾米，奴隶和人贩子共情？其实这是一个关于选择的故事。男主时不时跳出来的道德感让我恶心，但你不能不说电影足够写实。从处女作“苏格拉底”就能感受到这个导演追求纪录的影像风格，难得的是连上一部的主演都保留了，真长情啊...
数学问题，
内容有点深刻，类似盲山？穷人有真正的自由吗？
巴西底层人民想要赚钱也是真难，最终也逃脱不了被资本家剥削的命运！
工整的电影，数学为载体的温暖故事。教育是灵魂点亮另一个灵魂的事，里面混杂了很多对应试教育的观点，整体很温暖。
一开始认为像肖申克的救赎，斯德哥尔摩，不患寡而患不均，之后才发现，讲的是人性。有的囚徒拼命得到做狗的机会分到了两根骨头，误以为自己也姓赵，但只是另一种形态的韭
残酷的现实打垮了友谊。怎么出人头地，那就是灭掉良心，狠下来
“不可能从错误的问题中得出正确的答案”
数字本身是很纯粹的东西，可是放在国家，政府，学校，家庭里，就变幻莫测了。
