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.
很喜欢这部电影，没懂为啥评分这么低。也许是在英国待了很久，也去Belfast游览过，所以我能共情到这一份乡愁。配乐和John Wayne都超有年代感。非常多有趣的台词，尤其是爷爷，真是位deep thinker，导演的童年投射很多。“For the ones who stayed” “For the ones who left” “For all the ones who were lost”，很受触动，其实单纯从触动的角度来说，本片于我而言比《罗马》要共情的多。
挺不错的，装备大更新，酷炫起来了，还加了个新队员，也挺讨喜。不过强行让阿奇自闭再自我治愈这种剧情真的挺烦

挺私人的。看得出是真情实意的情感
戏剧张力不够的影片慎用黑白画面……只会让人想睡觉谢谢
最近看得比较开心的一个片，虽然有点设计过度。孩子和堂姐在争论到底要说自己是天主教徒还是新教徒，有爱的哲学家爷爷奶奶，经常吵架但是有爱又漂亮会跳舞的父母，和课堂里喜欢的女孩子双向奔赴一个前进一个退步。孩子时，自以为老成，但实际上又一窍不通，对很多东西视而不见，却记得广告里的奥妙洗衣粉。
其实还不错，肯定算不上糟糕，奥斯卡级别的开局，结果导演并没有能抓住更优秀的故事脉络，虽然有一家三代的生活史，但却有点轻佻并没有那么厚重，模特出身的女主演得不错~
昨天晚上，我突然很想家。在外工作那么多年，突然很想家。
7.5/10 惊喜之作。并非所有值得铭记的时光都被塔科夫斯基作品中那样朦胧的诗意捧起，抑或与<罗马>式的沉重历史缠绕共生，在贝尔法斯特的阴影里，我无法不去承认还有另一种更活泼的，杂乱无章的，同时也无比真挚的乡愁的存在。无可辩驳的，影片的影像结构十分混乱: 不时出现的透视镜头，莫名其妙的特写和艺术渲染，以及开篇就大张旗鼓但却再无回音的那组长镜头，其视听技巧呈现出的效果似乎与主题并不适配，只是在不断地把观众从共情中拉起并继续着自己的构图游戏。唯有当作为观众的我们选择相信这位阳光天真的小主角，尝试以他的视角环顾四周，那些写满刻意的戏剧化表现才或许真的有了意义: 它们作为包容却逐渐无力的故土的一部分，陪着贪玩的少年最后一次继续着脑海里的的臆想。
2-11 你说故事也不复杂，人物也不多，相比较其他剧情片就很平淡。但是又因为足够私人，那些细小的情感，也能在不同层面打动人。彩色的电影院荧幕和剧院，电视里的电影电视剧，手里的Thor漫画书，所有的这些童年启蒙让他成为了现在的他。而我不也是从电影里开启了新的人生吗？回不去的家乡和童年，美好的家庭，在影片中展示的接近完美的父爱，不知道有多少戏剧创作的成分，自己也在想如果哪一天我能够用影像的方式重新讲述自己的故事，我会保留哪些真实，又会在哪部分增加和修改让故事更符合自己想象中生活。还有就是van morrison的音乐从头到尾出现，因为自己也喜欢他的音乐，所以更是觉得这部电影私人又亲切。
很像正午阳光品牌会做出来的影视作品，从一开头场面到人物关系，都是好但似乎又有点滥。从景到摄影都弥漫着舞台剧摄影作品的气息，尤其人物常常正脸特写来处理，更像是摄影作品的动态影像，其中不乏一些小男孩在车下可以清楚听到父母的谈话这样的情节，就更能理解为一种舞台剧了。但是这部电影里舞台剧和电影都用了彩色来处理，黑白光影反而是一种真实生活。最喜欢一场戏是爷爷奶奶在窗边的谈话，丹奇为整部戏注入了恬静的烟火气，是一种日常的美，不是戏剧味。这里我也喜欢这部影片的黑白摄影，它让朱迪丹奇脸上的皱纹更加深刻清晰，展现了苍老和岁月的力量，不同于兰心里我总觉得黑白是为了掩饰巩俐作为本身的年龄和生理状态，智齿利用黑白摄影是不太精致的布景变得更有风格，这部电影的摄影匠心独运。最后丹奇的送别戏和别告诉她一比较高下立显。
Wee真是个可爱的单词…不喜欢但也不难看，配乐有点造作，整体有点candy-coated但完全没有必要的那种…小男孩还算有灵气，就这样吧…cheerio!
感觉得出来是导演珍藏的回忆，尽管是个动荡不安的年代，但是有着家人的爱和守护、祖父母的诙谐幽默、对同班女生纯真无邪的情愫，童年还是美好和温馨的。
7分电影。不是所有关于童年的黑白电影都是低配《罗马》。导演很显然没有要想在电影加入一堆映射，就真诚怀恋一下童年。糖水一样的故事，完美的卡司，轻松地观影体验，对于我这样的普通观众来说，很完美了。
这啥呀……既想厚重，又要幽默，还要伤感，还想炫技，加一点味精加一点鸡精加一点酱油加一点蔬之鲜，最后一锅乱炖成失真潦草的漫长流水账，一点意思都没有。
“好哭”，“儿童视角”，“怀旧”，“爱上电影的过程”，“老戏骨演技教科书”简直是照着奥斯卡checklist 拍的，还好小孩子是可爱的。
电影就那回事，还是影像好看，现在Panavision也太牛逼了吧，边看还在边品每一帧影像里的灰调子，理想里的伊尔福、tmax就是那种不太暗，暗里又有层次的灰。
那一段决战都有漫画色彩
