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".
这哪是让你看什么美好的恋爱 这是掰开了让你看爱情的真相啊
学生时代的爱情“你够不够爱我”成为是否能在一起的首要检验标准。成年人的爱情“我想要的条件你是不是匹配”却成为了在一起的首要检验标准。大学生去看这个电影可能看不懂，但到我这个年纪看这部电影只会老泪纵横。
如果在年轻时看，可能会觉得格外痛吧（用这么文青的词对不起）。大了会有一种旁观者的姿态，早就明白恋爱发展为真正的爱情不是靠表象之合的。但是看的好好怀念日影啊，小时候看了好多好多的日本电影，如今对那种细腻感、平淡生活感的喜爱依然没有变。
结尾哭得不行了。隔壁少男少女就像是他们的曾经。分手后三个月像最好的朋友那样相处。彻底分开后还会想对方看了什么书会有怎样的想法。细节都好真实，押井守真人出演押井守，就连《宝石之国》《黄金神威》等等都对上了，太戳我了。两个O型只要没有金钱压力，就特别好，但是如果有金钱上的担忧就是不适合走入婚姻。
8分。有人说爱情导致的多巴胺分泌只能维持三年，所以三年内不能把爱情转变成亲情，那两人之间就只剩分手一条路了。也不是有什么特别的分水岭，在一起久了，忽然就觉得不爱了，时间和生活对爱的磨损往往超过了大部分人的想象，就算不能一起走完全程，但能够微笑着坦然和过去告别，这本身就是一种成长了吧。
真的好爱这部电影，就和当初喜欢《LALALAND》一样。
两个人，都有不同程度的贪心，男孩越来越爱走捷径，女孩不能承受丝毫的妥协，所以能有这么一段圆满的恋爱已经是感情生涯高光了。(女孩还有了个亚洲第一帅老板，要什么自行车啊)
谁人不知爱是幻象？文青的报菜名、对暗号、小鹿乱撞并不可耻。恋爱本就起源于任意一次未落在时序中的幻视。但这种深植于庸人心中的被量化的、外在的温柔及其法则杀死了多少无力生活的恋人？连那可贵的烂漫都显得刻意，只有颓丧是这里的真实，到此却已转入安吾的命题了。
看完片尾谷歌地图定格的画面后再返回片头，你会有新发现的。
我以为找到了世界上另一个一样的灵魂，然而我没料到这世上没有什么是不变的。我们已经岔开走了太远了。今后我不再找了。
誰不想見證鮮花開得燦爛芬芳，誰不想在某一天突然遇見一個如久別重逢般契合的soulmate呢，誰不想能夠有彼此好好相處的時間去共同迎接未來呢，但是，那樣理想化的愛情太美好了，美好到我太清楚地知道我不配擁有，於是他們越是甜蜜我越是看得忍不住哭。所以，當鮮花開始枯萎凋謝，當他們因現實生活疲憊不堪時，當他們人生軌道開始逐步分岔偏離時，兩個人又變回了一個人和一個人，我反而有種說不出的釋然。可是，可是，即便是那樣，我還是羨慕，羨慕他們有共同生活，羨慕他們有擁抱分手，羨慕他們分手之後想起彼此依然懷念。我真惡心。
除了“换一对（适配度更高的）男女演员也毫无违和”这一个缺点，几乎是我百看不厌的那种「元爱情故事」了。
两个缺钱的文艺青年只能被迫租到一个最佳地段的海景房了是吗……毫无生活气息之余，电视剧质感又把制作水平拉到了最低。恋爱因为喜欢书和电影，分手因为要各自工作……用球鞋之类的矫情元素堆砌起来的观众认同，什么鬼逻辑，根本没有所谓两性关系抑或爱情本质的探讨，不过是日剧的经典套路罢了
刚开始总有浇不息的热情，但恋爱和花束都有一样的难题，如何保鲜？我觉得参与感很重要，一起去完成、分享、观看、阅读、解锁未完成…
导演编剧挺迷影，押井守也被拉来了，演了自己
花束很美好，但是不能持久。想要让花常开，就要种到土里，也就是我们常说的，接地气，脚踏实地。
说的就是我和我前任的故事：70%的兴趣爱好重合。但是我和她刚好和电影里面的男女主相反。我是属于想要每天开心，下班后做自己喜欢的事情，理想型。她则是天天想着未来发展，怎么去挣更多钱，规划未来的现实型。经历了这段感情后，我意识到了以后找另一半不要看共同兴趣爱好是否符合自己，因为这是站不住脚的，只是一个标签，能否长久在一起还得看生活方式、性格、三观是否合适。
苏打演技真好
确实非常好的片，很有现实和话题意义。但影片本身的商业化和套路化还是很刻意，比如到底两个人的问题是什么？比如最后饭局一刻男主用真诚挽留住女主，这个故事也说得通，也符合约定俗成的社会现象，未必将来就一定很悲催。那么编导坚持他们分开的用意是什么呢？或许是为了刻意制造一种反思效果，其实价值也在于审视年轻人的不成熟，双方需要沟通和尊重的本心，男主的转变，女主的坚持可能都不代表成熟，两人其实都没有想清楚生活和未来，所以最后的离开不是什么性格问题，恰恰他们很多表现是宛如一体，就连打算分手的腔调都一模一样，也显得影片的审视非常深刻了
看到最后哭得不能自己。这世间的遗憾真的太多太多了，百分百契合的两个人，爱的那么深的两个人，最后都很难在一起，再美好的爱情都会在现实面前，在琐碎面前，在一次一次的争吵面前，都可以消耗殆尽。最难受的是，分开后，任何关于爱情的东西都会让我想到她，那种难以自拔的痛。花束般恋爱也有凋零的花期，只是所以的回忆犹如花粉，无处不在，气味暗藏。所以，真的真的，遇到自己爱的那个人，请你一定要成熟，一定要坚定，遗憾，是世上最无力的感受。
