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".
印度版的《辩护人》之感，不过就故事剧情、思想深度…等而言，个人感觉韩国电影《辩护人》比这部《杰伊·比姆》更胜一筹。—— -如果你同意的话，我会和那些警察谈谈，补偿给你需要的钱。为了孩子们的未来，你需要钱，你需要做出决定。-还没出生的婴儿，我不能给他看亲生父亲，但我却会有很多钱，购买我要养活孩子们的食物？如果他们问起，买食物的钱是怎么来的？“是把你爸爸活活打死的人送的，我们需要这样子生存。” 长官，我要这样教育我的孩子吗？当我们被杀的时候没有人在乎，我们也不会靠从凶手那里获得的救济金生活。我不在乎我输了这个案件，我可以骄傲地告诉孩子们，虽然失败了，但我们没有放弃抗争。如果你可以，就去惩罚那些凶手警察。
主角：“你相信奇迹吗？”
任谁都能看出来剧本套路的问题但是美术和分镜也做得也太棒了！！因为足够诚挚，试听表达打磨得足够细腻，所以一个老生常谈的励志主题被讲述得极其有说服力，被煽动情绪也只觉得心服口服。太喜欢舞台上的狮子和高楼天台上的狮子对望的那一幕了，是会被纳入我心目中电影经典画面的程度。
一群没有任何基础，从来没有练过舞狮的人，练了几个月就能打遍天下无敌手，把那些练了十几年，千锤百炼的人都秒到地沟里去，和春晚以及好莱坞那种小人物拯救世界的白日梦鸡汤有什么区别，好像只要一有鸡汤，世界上就不存在任何难题，看起来很现实，实际上全是意淫出来的魔幻现实。
冲着最后让我洒的热泪，怒打五星。国产动画里终于有一部现实题材的好作品了，还原真实质感的画风，扎根平民的故事创作，小人物的平凡与伟大，而动画的夸张浪漫更多地用于表现舞狮场面。那股不向现实低头的劲儿，太让人动容了。哪吒的“我命由我不由天”很难让人感同身受，因为他依然是高高在上的神。阿娟的腾空而起却能让大多数人破防，因为他就是我们身边的人，甚至就是我们自己。
心中有鼓点，“世界万变，也不失这志气”…音乐用的很妙啊，已知歌单：《道山靓仔》五条人乐队、《纸飞机 Fly Away》廖颖轩、《世间始终你好》甄妮/罗文、《Rollin' On》椅子乐团、《今夜无人入睡》、《莫欺少年穷》九连真人、《无名的人》毛不易
梦想和现实哪个更重要我不知道，但阿强的经历告诉我：一个人老了以后，不会后悔做了什么，只会后悔没做什么。
某国至今拍不出律政片，原因可不仅仅在审查啊
留守儿童背景就是个幌子，就是营造困难的机器，爷爷和父母这样重要的角色没有任何刻画，就为了突出一个惨，十八岁的孩子没有上过一天学，而且是三个。舞狮是传统文化的幌子，学习过程没有任何关于这项传统文化的科普，完全就是为了升级闯关的幌子，而且在舞狮环境大好，甚至可以举办比赛的情况下，这四个人舞狮就是不务正业，没有出息，反观其他舞狮队个个神采飞扬，用鼻子看人。人物关系也是强行粘合，主角想舞狮的初衷，一半是为了爱情，其他配角就是完全的搞笑配件，两个人舞狮的动机没有，狮尾和狮头的配合没有，打鼓在舞狮中的作用没有，总之就是凸显主角一个强，一旁的群演人物，一说话，就是为了骂主角四人组，怎么难听怎么来，做作至极，全员恶人。另外，公交车的铁锈都可以做得栩栩如生，我不明白这些人物在恐怖谷边缘徘徊的眼睛是什么美学。
1.都是女人毁了男人最初的梦想；2.女人帮男人实现梦想就是弥补当初的“后悔”；3.女人应该做男人的梦想启蒙导师；4.女人有了一定成就之后就该退居二线恋爱结婚把舞台让给男人；5.中国人娱个乐都要内卷至死；6.实现梦想的人也无法摆脱打工人的命运。
真正的现实主义底层叙事从来不等于贩卖情绪主题先行的比惨哭片，只是这几年越来越被消费敷衍玩坏了，庆幸当年有人开先河现如今有人也回过神掰回来，很了不起了。细节出真知，即使有配乐过满台词喊口号结局缺少离场感的问题，但种种细节铺陈是真切的人文关怀，是真现实反而就没有共情，只觉得惨和无能为力，那是血淋淋无法改变的状况。除此之外的一大意义是填补了动画电影的题材空白，其实写实题材动画在其他国家非常多，而国内还享受着把老掉牙的神话传说翻来覆去讲的舒适圈。用动画形式去触及真人电影无法直接展示的议题，也是中特行为一种了，尤其在当前所谓“共富”背景下。有现实意义也有行业意义，某种程度上都很“新”很“奇迹”，一个关于“怎样才能有奇迹”命题，这边建议又名《奇迹》吧来个粤港少年梦幻联动，北文不死哈哈哈哈。
比姆是印度宪法之父，也是印度第一位法律部长 。印度的姓氏是分级别的，贱民身份世代相传，不能接受教育，不能穿鞋，只能从事卑贱的工作，甚至在走路的时候影子都怕落到路人的身上，这是印度历史最黑暗的阴影。
烂桥段，烂画风，还stereotype拉满，真有你的
“我常以为是众生普渡了佛祖”“杰伊比姆是成千上万人的泪珠”
太难受了，印度种姓制度真的丧心病狂啊！信仰本应该是救人的，但是在印度可以杀人。诛心啊！但是尽管如此，依然对于印度敢拍出来这样电影甚是欣慰。毕竟最绝望的是欲盖弥彰自我感觉良好的周遭。

如果一定要喊国产动画崛起，或许现在才是好时候。
这部国产动画电影了不得，惊艳开场，而第三幕应该是国产电影年度最佳！
不是2021年度最佳动画，是2021年度最佳电影，弘扬国粹
喜欢，惊喜，是我近几年最喜欢的国漫电影。雄狮少年走向了现实主义，拓宽了中国动画行业的创作边界。整体观感极好：美术、影调、镜头语言、人物塑造、配乐、配音、情感表达、笑点泪点燃点……都可圈可点。加之这部国漫关乎传统文化——舞狮，无论从色彩，做工还是动作流畅度来看，在动画里的视觉呈现都无与伦比，质感一流。人文情怀，亲情友情，梦想现实……所有情感的表达也都真挚动人。开播不到三分钟，我就被完全地拽入进了画面之中，顺着主人公的视角，也想起了好些纷纷繁繁的年少回忆：错综巷道，街坊四邻，市集烟火，田野繁星……熟悉且深爱的亲人，四处撒欢冒险的小伙伴，少年文学作品，年少独有的天真理想纯良与不灭的精气神儿……回忆的加持让我与影片深度共情。有瑕疵，但瑕不掩瑜。支持国漫，希望大爆！
