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".
其实质感断裂严重，是因为在去捷克之前的部分太流水账了，如果把叙事核心聚焦在干细胞的制造与导致的后果，然后再去细说男主在失去一切却获得“永生”的情境，应该会很好看。另外，丁萌萌自我当试验品的段落其实应该是很有力的情感高潮，却缺乏足够有力的动机，其实也不难解决，就是因为作者把重心本末倒置所以几笔带过，比较遗憾
这是一个神经外科 神经干细胞研究方向 医学生打的四星 oct4 sox2 看的出来科研部分拍的很认真 就是严重违背医学伦理🙃
情节之俗套
片名很容易让我联想到《本杰明奇事.》，也有人说是结合了《阿甘正传》，我也发觉哦。
重要台词
彼此相爱却总在错过的两个人，丁老这个人设太棒了
这干细胞的广告做的有点大啊，是为了科普吗，可是最后结局也太梦幻了
以为是爱情电影，结果是一部关于老去和死亡的哲理片或者说伪文艺片。最大的卡司是王珞丹，但实际上王珞丹反而只是一根牵扯的线，而李婷婷反而才是女主。因为刚经历了爷爷的过世，所以在丁教授死亡前的那场交谈里，很触动我，人生不就是一辆等待下车的公交巴士，死亡不就是最后的终点站么？
十年内最好的中国电影剧本! 神级电影!!!
王珞丹演得好，好演员。
只不过，结尾处的台词:＂你好，苏凌芳。＂表示当生命和记忆归去，鲁还在，还陪着苏，还帮她记得所有。
看完想吐
其实是《阿甘正传》的叙事模式+《恋恋笔记本》（阿尔兹海默症）。王珞丹的人设跟《阿甘正传》的女主太像，最后的女儿也像是复刻阿甘的儿子。
生命就像银河，两岸遥不可及，虽互相分离，但心有灵犀。
2.5。片名叫不老奇事，但围绕在主线人物脑中挥之不去的记忆却都与死亡有关，要想努力淡化这个悲伤的既定结果，似乎就必须要对“衰老”这一人生必经之路拒斥到底，就像男主人公一样，用干细胞技术维持现时外貌不变以试图确证某些永逝的过往带来的感伤情绪有多真切。这个故事中人物错过的几段感情说不上有多令人惋惜，但不断论证他们无论如何都摆脱不了衰老与死亡的伴生关系真是有够残酷的直白表达。
有一种频频脱帽致敬的感觉，这片子到底塞进了多少部别的电影啊……但没抱期待去看，也没有觉得很失望。
王珞丹太難看了 又沒演技 拖垮 加一星給老了的王朔吧 傷心
突然想起来，这是编剧的真实经历改编吗
评分感觉低了，确实有点阿甘的意思，男主人设就是老老实实又天赋异禀的意思，最后点题不错，如果，记忆没有了，不老还有什么意义
剧情太散太乱了，人物动机让人摸不着头脑，借由去布拉格研究干细胞的外衣让男女的强行分离，又强行加入另一段感情，但是又没有爱情，更像是为了拍男主研究干细胞的不易，并且研究成功了，成“不老奇事”了？男女主的相遇相识更像是朋友之间的友谊，谈什么青梅竹马。女二号更是神经大条，又为啥爱上了男主？男主为啥去了一趟非洲，还差点死在那？女主的孩子又是怎么怀上的啊？
