Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
影片之中的死亡是既定的
除了部分摄影和最后一个镜头的设计，妥妥的抗日神剧😅
没看前我已经能猜到结果是什么样了，美院不愧是美院，画面是好看，但能不能各司其职啊....你不能靠“诗意性”这三个字来包庇所有的缺点，要求全中国的电影院屏幕都是最好的，观众都是有审美层次的...
#2021青年导演海上影展 听口音就知道导演是老乡，果然是摄影感大于电影感。配音虽然是方言，但是夹在影片里确实有些怪。为老乡导演再加一星！！！
看到有人在认真拍电影，还是感动，不太愿意苛责。
《云看出品就知道是一部绝对的艺术作品了，冲着拿奖去的所以肯定有别于商业性的主旋律电影。
战争可不就是这样，在一片漆黑中突然的枪响，突然的死亡

补充：球球了刷评能不能不要这么明显……
想要去“主旋律”，结果却不伦不类，是想让我看催眠般的摄影吗
我觉得电影的基本还是要有一个好故事并把它讲好。
“年轻的红军战士洪启辰接到军令，必须在48小时内炸毁敌人的弹药库。这是一条赴死的军令……”为何是48小时，而不是46小时？那时候战士人人都有手表，可以精确计时？直接说两天不好吗？
电影的镜头拍风景很美，但是镜头的推动不太行，我没有看清楚过几个人的脸。还有就是太暗了，费眼睛。
诗意战争片，影调风格独特，无论是方言还是地貌环境，都充斥着浓厚的江南人文墨客风格，叙事层面有些淡，可能是人物线有点多，看似有些集中但却有点散，一条线贯穿力度不要够，在本人看来没有过度的渲染情绪，影片回答的很克制，导演把个人情绪进行收敛，较为真实的还原了士兵个体面对战争与死亡的恐惧，在映衬之下，也在枪林弹雨的残酷之中表达了向死而生的执念。最后的血雨镜头很有感觉—我终于失去了我。
运用大量空镜头渲染气氛 尤其注意构图 很多镜头都有绘画的质感 对于战士的群像塑造可以说是成功的 作为一个“人” 他们在面对集体的利益和个人的生死时会有动摇 当然 最后任务的成功也是不令人意外的 结尾引人思考 P.S. 院线版一些镜头切换似乎有瑕玼
一开始以为是表现和大部队失联的边缘人物，后来以为是反战或者个体与战争的冲突，结果发现是主流电影，也不算反战片，就是讲胜利，观众要看到字幕最后，交代的很清楚。观影过程中经常因为镜头和表演跳戏。有时候以为是不是要插叙人物命运，没有，他就是顺着讲的，虽然不像。有时候台词逻辑也很硬，比如个人选择和理想那段。关于中国水墨画风格，可能台词和镜头没把我带入进去吧，有时候被带入了，然后就有跳戏。4星给支持院线吧，疫情期间不容易。
画面很美，意境很高，水下镜头更好看，不用低饱和调色也能表达这些，可能是为了让断肢不那么血腥。
模糊电影，非同期声电影，反战电影，实验电影。
黑泽明式的武侠风格加之《1917》身临其境walk along的主线剧情，让本片与印象中的“主旋律”界线有所划分，相比于《长津湖》《八佰》之流恨不得在影片中给你标出来哪里应该哭，哪里应该怒，《云霄之上》的情感爆发体现在微小的细节以及导演在剧本以外安排的主观处理，结尾的血雨将立意进一步升华掩盖了本来枯燥的主线任务。
棱角分明，侧颜杀满分，尤其那凸出的喉结都是戏，男性荷尔蒙爆棚。
