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.
影片除了辛柏青再没有明星了，但五个男生演的都挺好，各有特色，局部情节也不错，但结合起来总觉得少点什么，每个部分都不尽兴。
编剧故事说得挺好的，剧情跌宕起伏，虽然最后那个打击真是太扯了，但是为了故事冲突需要嘛。呵呵呵～
我可太喜欢这五个孩子了！选角🐮🍺！！帅气在少年感面前不堪一击✔
削弱了原作的喜剧元素，加强了青春运动热血和突破自我，本土化的不错，只有暗恋有逃课有片中家长的教育的高中可能才更贴合我们的高中。如果是在夏天上映的话估计票房还能再冲一冲，今年夏天的片子跟国庆档的可是差远了。
看见有些朋友对于阳刚这个词很ptsd啊，那就对了，恶心死你们。
可能我会永远热爱青春片吧/少年们为了同一件事努力的样子真的很热血沸腾/虽然也很套路就是了
3.5星。如果不跟原版比，实际上已经比很多无病呻吟的国产片好很多了，但跟原版比起来，我真的有点伤心：青春这东西放在高中生身上，也只能用痛苦来推进。不能是单纯的喜欢而去做，不能肆意、不能尽兴，开心不能是无厘头的，搞笑也要一板一眼。最后那段甚至连秀都秀不起来，来自2021年的翻拍，古板得看不到青春。
整体结构和节奏没变，女老师改成男老师，很多细节的本土化也做得很好，没有(也不能有)早恋情节，但牵扯了家庭，校方等外在因素，更符合中国国情。校外不正规训练被发现，然后学校第一反应就是解散花泳队?在抖音上面哭一下，学校领导看到了，马上请专业运动员来辅导训练!说好的教委重视呢？!结尾的障碍设置纯粹就是对日版的邯郸学步，教委重视的男子花泳主办方一句话就取消了?这也太偷懒了。强行出场的方式让这支努力训练的队伍看起来更加落魄狼狈，台下的观众抠脚也更用力了。日版几乎全程都是学生们自己找人、找场地、卖票，自己解决所有的问题，到了中国，学生也很努力，找人，找场地，但能不能演不演还得看学校和主办方脸色，最后他们还喊着:只有自己决定成为什么样的大人!?中国的学生，有多少幸福，就有多少悲哀。
已经对这一系列国产悬浮热血青春片完全免疫了，这样一种原本籍籍无名的普通少年最终逆袭的故事结构本质上是美国式的“阳光男孩”青春神话构型的翻版，但这只是好莱坞神话意识形态下的产物，而真正的青春是无端而躁动生命能量与生命冲动的蓬勃涌现，是拥有强烈生命激情却又不知如何释放的迷茫，是生命尽情挥洒过后又瞬间陷入落寞与孤独的寂寥感，是生命之火似乎永不停息的燃烧。国产青春片必须要超越传统青春类型片的创作思维与范式，在无尽的生命雾霭中体会那种无法被形塑与规训的青春强度与能量，这才是那些优秀的青春片的核心追求与要义。
虽然大部分时候的转折和推进都是有问题的，但是整体调性倒是对的，有个样子总比尬尬的强多了
没有狗血剧情，就是青春热血，有笑点有感动，不错的青春片
没看过原版，单纯感觉这版还是很清爽的，虽然部分剧情仍不免俗套，但没有玛丽苏没有洒狗血更没有堕胎，新人表现也是可圈可点。印象深刻的部分除了结尾的高能时刻，还有张伟两段情绪失控的地方：“不是每个人都是你！”以及抖音“太难了”
没想到竟然选了钢铁洪流作为表演开场的音乐。和原版不一样的扑水少年，改编的非常本土化，电影很不错，虽然目前的现实里它几乎不可能发生。
3.5 怎么说呢！我永远爱矢口史靖！！！（蝈蝈妈太好笑了！！！）
太尴尬了太尴尬 光线水jun差不多得了吧 笑点尴尬不符合国情毫无代入感 煽情也很低级

我觉得还行吧，不过有两个点确实很土：学校会游泳的都来参加花样游泳，太戏剧化了，而且很土啊……后面结尾有点拉垮……太多阻碍堆叠在一起，就有点刻意。但我还蛮喜欢队长跟高飞谈话那段，整体而言还挺搞笑的，而且花样游挺不错的
真诚与粗制滥造的区别就是，哪怕高中时代从没有时间游过泳的人也能感受到那种青春年少的激情澎湃与热血，近年来最好的青春片，虽然是翻拍的
十七岁那年天没那么蓝，我们做的疯狂小事远不算伟大，但总是要做点什么的，毕竟“留下什么，我们就长成什么样的大人”。光线掌握的财富密码：我命由我不由天。女生可以练拳击，那男生为什么不可以练花样游泳。如果注定要做一条被分数和名字腌制的咸鱼，至少要努力扑腾一下，试试看自己是金鱼还是鲸鱼。演员选得好，生涩笨拙、有棱有角，举手投足间少年气自然散出。（带来最真实的生理反应，一边痴痴笑一边发大水，最后姨母落泪。
夏天/泳池/少年/追梦/义气/热血，青春真美好，热烈又真诚，无所畏惧又自由自在，而这一切都因为有了朋友的陪伴而显得格外生动，在我们笨拙又不会隐藏情绪的年纪，可以无条件的信任朋友，恣意倾吐心中的难过。
