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.
除了矫情还是矫情，当初爱因斯坦去搞原子弹，也没这么多屁话啊，白左当道真是邪恶。
屠龙少年终成恶龙的故事，巴西乡下来的老实孩子被卖进废品收购站当奴工，最后成了恶势力老板头马。导演很直给他想传达的东西，节奏也很快，但就是没有共情的点。事讲明白了，情感真上不去。或者这种故事在身边发生的多了，巴西这么点事在我们看来都不是事。甚至看出励志的感觉，因为很多鸡汤文都是这样讲的啊。岁月静好，躺平最好。
这里不是监狱，却比监狱更加黑暗。人性都是现实的，其他三个人不是可以抗拒诱惑，而是根本没有得到诱惑的机会。导演真敢拍。
复杂又轻松的剧情，看着还挺温暖，美好的生活美好的未来美好的向往。
东亚真是太苦了。前半段还是个逆向心灵捕手的故事，你拯救我的数学，我拯救你的心理；后半段南北关系就压上来，结尾高燃大师竟在我身边。挺精致的，很韩，很韩。
南北韩政治情节开始就有点看不下去了 需要休息
节奏极慢的电影，恰如电影里温吞理智的男主。其实就是各种妥协。
8.2分，强烈的现实主义风格，故事结构简练，形象塑造细致。
巴赫无伴奏大提琴组曲第一首yyds！喜欢巴赫的人果然数学都好，除了我……
最后想看看片尾字幕说明“黎曼假设”，结果没有，那就说故事都是虚构。朝鲜不可能有这么伟大的数学家，导演思维发散拍了这么个剧本，看完有点无聊。“圆周率钢琴曲”的情节也不知真假，凭3.14能循环出这么好听的曲子么。说那个男孩游水往北，纯粹胡扯不可信，哎，看个电影，各种猜想，比数学家还烦。
今年威尼斯影展的地平线拓展单元，来自巴西，导演亚历山大·莫拉托此前有部同性题材的《苏格拉底》关注的是巴西底层人群生活的挣扎和缺失的爱。这一部同样延续了这种写实风格，将巴西弱肉强食的社会生态更赤裸地暴露给观众，但与上一部男主抱着母亲骨灰走向大海的执拗不同，这一次男主选择了适者生存，影片的最后他离开了奴役他的废弃场，而路的前方依然没有尽头…
巴西美男，罗德里格·桑托罗，看到一半时，才发现是他，虽然脸上有岁月痕迹了，但还是很帅
数学本是很纯粹的学问 就像音乐一样 可在现在也变质了 比如它会用来制造武器 成为国家之间的争端 也会在应试教育体制下变成没有人喜欢的东西
挑了半天的韩国电影，看到崔影帝的名字，果断选择了。节奏挺平缓的，韩国电影日常都要表达些现实的，黑北边的兄弟这个不用说，电影中主要表达了对应试教育的看法，各种补习班，抄近道。想想我们国家果断取缔了课后辅导，努力的让教学回归的校园。我觉得结尾弱了，弱了。我还查了一下费曼猜想是不是被电影中的数学家给证明了，然后还没找到结果。。。
究竟为什么这么做，这个问题最后留给黑小伙自己回答。
现代版奴隶制的缩影 boss的手段还是高明 用糖衣炮弹分化内部阶级 男主一边享受着权利与金钱带来的满足感一边又被不时涌上的道德感冲击 但利益与自私还是会占主导 老板又是另个大boss的走狗 一代又一代生生不息
简单小片子 能引发一些关于人类社会 关于人性的思考。
-努力的人是第二个放弃的
很套路但还是不错
片子还是值得一看的！
