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.
四幕剧结构很酷，忠君爱国到长袖善舞到女性意识到自由搏击，作为类型片爱好者，不得不承认我从PK中得到了最大的快感
There’s never justice for women, only strokes of luck.
不是“每个人在各自编制的谎言里拼凑出了真相”，而是“每个人在各自认定的实话里承受了真相”。
Chapter three: the truth of the lady Margaret 之后其它字幕淡出，大银幕上只留下the truth两个词，小小的，在角落，但是600多年后的这个recognition已经算是很难得的关怀了，中世纪叙事里难得的女性视角。作为女性，看后半部分简直如坐针毡，那种没有出路的憋闷感实在是太令人窒息。前两章男性视角中，女主角都是功能性角色，温顺的妻子或欲拒还迎的荡妇，而事实上，女主是一个很有趣的人，这样一个有趣的人，被父亲作为交易品，被丈夫作为生殖工具，被其他男人看作猎物，然后成为一场事关男人权力的决斗的祭品，从始至终孤立无援，求告无门，被男人侮辱包围审判直至被推上祭台。最后的决斗扣人心弦，只因它决定一个女人的命，但赢了，也没有喜悦，只有无尽的悲凉。
Only the power of men. 雷导拍了一个非常当代的故事。不同视角叙述三遍丝毫不闷，中间还穿插着阿弗莱克的喜感角色。故事高潮就像是雷导向观众再次大喊，Are you not entertained?!
兩個半小時不覺得沈悶，縱使故事講了三次，再看第三個故事的時候還是聚精會神。女性真的是最堅強的存在，無論如何都被看低和拿來作為籌碼，反抗需要莫大的勇氣。女主長髮好美，最近真的很常見Adam Driver。
成品给我感觉并不是一个罗生门的故事，包括老司机这个角色也承认自己的行为，并没有表现出各执一词的情况，这就使得三段意义不大了，而且诸多重复段落好像在看中世纪版金刚川。最后一段拍得值得肯定，女性被边缘化工具化，正凸显了男权社会，面子和私欲大于人性，最可怕的一幕是jean听到自己妻子遭遇后的反应是立刻行房，因为不能让jacques成为最后占有自己妻子的人。教廷审判反复对女性的质问，以及女性命运掌握不在自己手中的种种控诉时至今日也依然常见。
雷老爷子这个罗生门故事讲的可以，服化道好看，也符合现代语境。
不是“每个人在各自编制的谎言里拼凑出了真相”，而是“每个人在各自认定的实话里承受了真相”。
有意思的是一些看似相同的场景在不同的POV中的展示。实际还是在探讨中世纪女性的地位和生存现状。
罗生门的故事先要看的是剧作吧，所以我现在还没明白老司机的仆人是怎么知道那天马特达蒙家里只有他老婆一个人呢。本来以为是婆婆的一个大阴谋，三个人又在阴谋里各怀鬼胎，所以现在的剧本看起来太寡淡了，落脚点也模棱两可，女性主义的东西我从这个结局里反正是看不到。
“罗生门”式的剧本结构非常精彩，第三章的女性视角拔高了整部电影的高度，最后的决斗场景也非常扣人心弦
很满足的观影经验，雷德利斯科特很少叫人失望，整个故事被分成了三个POV，以不同视角去讲述同一个故事，非常罗生门式的叙事方式。我个人更喜欢前两个part，娓娓道来，缓慢，克制，在叙事的同时还展现了13世纪风土人情，衣食住行，风土人情，如何坐卧，如何战斗，如何向领主效忠，如何进行婚礼，仪式感的铺陈让一切都特别具有真实的美感，战斗场景的碰撞感和残忍更是爽快淋漓，两位男性在不同视角中的自恋与选择性遗忘也让人莞尔。第三部分稍微有点崩，我理解主创借古讽今的女性叙事，但我真的真的已经疲倦了用廉价的愤怒感去撩拨观众情绪，就像导演把你捆在椅子上使劲儿抽你耳光一样：气不气？气不气！你咋还不生气？非常predictable也非常无聊
恐怖的是，一旦老公决斗落败，身为妻子，女主将被脱光衣物，脖子套上铁圈，绑在木桩上，被活活烧死，而且在被烧二三十分钟后，死亡才会降临。而她老公依然瞒着她申请了决斗……最令人舒坦的结局，自然是两男决斗中双双身亡，但老公的死必然导致女主遭受火刑，因此，观众不得不希望男主获胜。女人有多难，可见一斑
去他丫的正义，去他丫的上帝。本来以为看点是马特达蒙的暴躁，抑或亚当德赖弗的潇洒，又或本阿弗莱克的阴邪，没想到，这是“小变态”一个人的精彩！三种视角下，层出不穷的细节变换，嘴脸丑陋的群像，女性的物化，勾勒了足够腐朽荒谬的中世纪，全是心口爆裂而密集的鼓点。女性视角起，拍案叫绝，魔鬼无处不在，但不幸之源始终唯一。终局虽只寥寥数语，却教人心领神会。
电影一开始就展现了一场决斗，高台上的女人，一定与她密切相关。但随着第一第二以及最后第三个视角的展开，我们才慢慢地发现，故事的确与这个女人有关，不过再一细想，又与这个女人完全无关。这个女人，只是父亲交易的一个筹码，只是丈夫的声誉（及泄愤工具），只是另一个风流倜傥男人又一个到手的猎物，还有大众餐桌上的谈资。我在想，假如这个女人，玛格丽特不说出真相呢？就像尚的母亲说的：真相并不重要，我也被强暴过。随着推移的镜头，我一下子被震住了。旧时代由于女人们隐忍着没有反抗，所以才持续着这种黑暗。活着，但是代价太大了，她们的女性后代永远都摆脱不掉这副枷锁。男人？女人当然需要男人们的支持，但归根结底，还得靠自己争取，一代人接着一代人，才勉强争取到现在一点点的权利。一个人在社会中，不可能只解放自己，而不解放他人。
并不是雷老一贯的史诗风格历史片，更像是罗生门式的悬疑片，拨丝抽茧展开真相节奏比较抓人，最后的决斗场面很让人血脉偾张。但是就像很多人对这种类型电影的调侃一样，“导演偷懒一个镜头反复用几遍”，本片的对三人视角讲述的处理确实比较重复，角色对于这次强奸事件的心理体验差异并没能很好展现。但本片对于性别平权对于女性苦痛的悲悯对于女性力量的推崇依然很有雷导的风格，本质是很棒的女性电影。整个事件开端并持续充斥着女性的苦痛，最后确是男性凯旋并获得了所有赞美，极其讽刺。虽是中世纪法国的故事，仍能窥见千百年来直到如今女性的困境以及持续的发声与抗争。另外全片对于“英雄救美，深爱妻子的丈夫成功报仇，夫妻继续幸福生活”这样的套路爱情剧情是非常有力的揭露，只是男性视角的臆想而已。ps.朱迪越来越美，演的很棒。
不是罗生门，是同一个真相的不同位面，最终在女性视角叙述下堆叠出讽刺意味。所谓真正的骑士或奸佞之人的生死相搏，从高台上看去都显得可嗤且无足轻重。精致扎实的百年战争皮囊下是颇现代的故事。
AMC 电影用罗生门的拍法先后展示了女主的丈夫Jean、强奸犯Jacques和作为受害人的女主Margerite三人的不同视角。展示顺序也极为考究，将整件事最为关键的女主的叙述放在最后。在前半段两个男人的视角里，Margerite就只是个有着美丽面庞和金色长发，惹人怜爱的女子；在向丈夫指控Jacques的暴行之前，她都只会乖顺附和，或者用灵动美丽的双眼温柔地注视着他们。但我们看到Margerite讲述的故事之后，前半部分自以为是好丈夫的Jean和自以为女主钟情于他的强奸犯Jacques的可笑嘴脸立刻被揭穿了，嘲讽力度和戏剧效果拉满。影片从头到尾，人们的焦点都是“他他他和他”，女性在这个故事里，只是联姻的工具，是男性气概的战利品，是炫耀的资本，是某个男人的所有物，唯独不是个人。
三种叙述视角似乎是现实中很真实的现象，每个人都会选择袒护自己，做出利己的辩护，而忽视一些不利的要点。不管哪个视角，这里面玛格丽特作为女性似乎都成为男性压榨、占据的战利品。
