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".

 1 ) 誰不想成為像馬丁一樣的小孩

 2 ) 馬丁

 3 ) 一首屬于孩子的幻想詩

 4 ) 為中國的”明日動畫“開天辟地

 5 ) 如果我是馬丁

 6 ) 這部童年經(jīng)典，現(xiàn)在看我也不覺得過時

最近兩天在看《馬丁的早晨》，90后的朋友聽到這個名字應(yīng)該多多少少有些印象，畢竟它作為童年經(jīng)典之一，為我們的年少歲月注入了許多的想象力元素。

這部兒時回憶，即便到了現(xiàn)在的年齡，看起來也不覺得無聊，想象力十足，每一集一個完整的小故事，每一天早晨，主角醒來，身份都會產(chǎn)生一個神奇的變化。

功夫馬丁

魔法師馬丁和超人馬丁

“變成了龍啊真可愛，變成了原始人不太帥”

有時是一個魔法師，可以笨拙的施展魔法，有時是一個身材健碩的超人，可以飛天入地，力能扛鼎，有時候變成一個國王，身邊有大臣伺候著，有時候是一個巨星，一覺醒來全國人民都是自己的粉絲……每一次變化，每一次代入，都十分的新奇而有趣，在那個娛樂匱乏的年代，對那個時候還是一個小學生的我，是一份想象力的補劑。

克隆人馬丁

可也不全是好的身份，有時候就變成吸血鬼，只能自卑的躲在古堡的地窖里，有時候變成了一個倒霉蛋，一天到頭每一次轉(zhuǎn)折迎來的都是厄運?？山K究會化險為夷，因為馬丁雖然內(nèi)心，有時膽小，但他心地善良，而且在關(guān)鍵時刻，往往能釋放出超乎常人的勇氣。這是在很多影視或文學作品中都是主角的標配。不過拋開主角光環(huán)，他和自己的小團隊的緊密配合，也是屢次化險為夷的關(guān)鍵所在。

“郭莫是你的好朋友，羅娜是你喜歡的女孩”

馬丁的好朋友郭莫是一個小天使，性情爽朗，事件處理小能手，還會寫代碼充當一波黑客。每天早上準時在馬丁家門口等他上學，不論馬丁變成了什么，他嘴里說的第一句都是“太棒了”。能出謀劃策，也能替挨拳頭，十足的好哥們。

郭莫是你的好朋友

羅娜則是馬丁的小青梅，有想法又敢于表露自己的感情，馬丁和別的女生有了互動，她會很明白的表達出自己的不滿，而無論什么時候，只要馬丁解釋清楚，她總是能很快地原諒和理解，而且羅娜十分聰明又很有正義感，在情節(jié)中多次起到關(guān)鍵作用，可以說有禮有節(jié)，有這樣的小女朋友，我作為觀眾其實一直在吃狗糧。

超人馬丁拯救小女友羅娜

你的愛就在離你幾米遠的地方

電視劇圈有句話比較流行，說愛情公寓為什么拍的明明不怎么樣，依然有那么多人喜歡看，是因為它描述了一種當代年輕人希望卻不可得的一種生活狀態(tài)：好朋友就住旁邊，最愛的人就住對面。

這也是《馬丁》讓人喜歡的地方，這部央視播出的動畫，在2003年就向還是孩子的我描繪了這樣的生活：好朋友每天都在門口等我上學，喜歡的女生也一直的喜歡著我。關(guān)鍵三個人還都是一個學校一個班的座位還挨著……

貌似也沒什么不對……

三人組在一起不斷突破各種難關(guān)，這樣一個一個的小故事，看起來太解壓了。繁忙的工作讓神經(jīng)緊繃情緒焦躁，把這個小東西往旁邊一放，甚至不用用心去看，只把它當作背景音，心情也會漸漸平復。

這一周，我的工作之余，就交給它了。
