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".

北爱尔兰的宗教冲突题材 并没有像其他描述此主题的电影如《血腥星期日》那样集中描写冲突的残酷露骨 而是把目光聚集在孩童和母亲和老人身上 温情更足 而作为父亲的男人 则承担了无奈的角色 算是这段历史的情感化描写 有点《生活多美好》的意思 但是情感的表现又远不如 场景过于舞台剧化了 歌舞的加入渲染了一种乐观的生活态度 但在整个片子所要表现的主题来说 其实会消减那种紧张感 两头不沾
那个时代的无数爱尔兰人选择来了南半球，如今和我坐在同一个影厅里看60年代的他们的家乡。
7.5。导演肯尼思·布拉纳的童年故事。北爱尔兰版的《罗马》，甚至连画面都一样是黑白的。虽然时代背景是不安定的，但故事并不是讲的大环境对自己童年的影响，而是讲的家庭和乡愁。现在的我对九岁时的记忆十分单薄，基本记不得那一年发生了什么。导演如此清晰地记得五十年前发生的事情，说明那一年对他意义重大。那一年是爷爷离开他们，也是他们一家离开贝尔法斯特的日子。离开熟悉的街道和朋友，可能也是离开童年。无论如何忧伤，导演记忆里的电影和戏剧仍然是彩色的，这么多年过去了，电影和戏剧带给他的愉悦仍然感染着他。
不在乎有没有感动别人
用糖霜和技巧把时代和童年回忆包裹了一层又一层，导致整部片显得花里胡哨的糖水娱乐片（多南有唱歌♥
3.5 私人流水账，从开篇俯拍城市就有种怪异的质感。虽然是以孩子的视角出发，落点散乱可以理解，但是从私人纪事来说，人物设定又太过刻板。后半段有几个比较可爱的笑点。
现在观众也是很难取悦的，这部电影不需要劳驾您又是深了浅了地分析，又是匠气，又是不如罗马的。我个人感受是看完了之后觉得好安静温暖，好舒服，很久很久没有在如今影视剧里感受到了，当大家都在深刻，反讽，悲剧然后要制造伟大的现在，Belfast给我一丝慰藉，因为疫情两年多没有见到家人，好想家。
肯尼爵太努力了，无论炫技还是塞梗，然而…meh… 【而且主题真是讲跑路吗？第一世界的人民投胎好，跑路好轻松
唯一觉得不足是对同一个家庭中的哥哥几乎没有展开
好好看！看动画片感觉就是一群纸片狗儿，没什么人格的，但是电影里就立体丰富好多。阿奇战胜恐惧的时刻真的好感人，他问莱德“哪有对象在成员失误两次时就抛弃它的？”时候也振聋发聩。而且歌儿都好好听啊～热烈欢迎新成员蓓蓓！！！
从成年人的视角来说，真的再也不想看为小孩子创作的动画片了。全片看下来，一直在思考吸云机器如何在短时间内吸完全城的乌云，爆炸时为何会产生风暴，狗的装备如何在短时间内制造出来，搭云梯拯救乘客时云梯为何那么稳定的物理学原理，薄薄一层速干水泥怎么固定住质量相对很大的高架桥，市长这个人物形象存在的合理性……感谢九年义务教育，感谢鞭策本人学习的所有老师同学朋友！是你们让我不再沉迷于此类动画片！！！
黑白色调很刻意，音乐穿插很生硬，被打上了太多时代的复古滤镜，男孩视角、母亲视角和贝尔法斯特的未来与命运被牵强而分裂地压缩成了在北爱动荡萧条年代出走的家庭故事，小男孩的表演算是唯一的亮点。
我想什么时候写点东西纪念我在义乌的好时光。最后奶奶在向她的儿子说“走吧，现在就走，不要回头，我的孩子。”就像费里尼的罗马在向他告别。
虽说是自传体电影，夹杂着大量私人记忆，但处理方式十分老套，全靠堆砌。作为背景存在的“北爱尔兰问题”也缺乏更深刻的反思。
肯尼斯布拉纳的舞台剧调度。小孩的表演很讨喜。
借我朋友的评价：“就这还跟罗马比呢？连马都不如”。
作为一个陪着娃从第一季看到第七季，从第七季看到第一季，来来回回，反反复复，反反复复，来来回回，看了不下几百集的成人伪粉丝，开头的20分钟还真是够high的～～～～～尤其是新装备出来的时候～明显阿奇的车就是蝙蝠战车的改编版嘛～～～看得我都有点儿激动了～～
