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.
小丑女好棒！！！主题不错，老鼠才是城市的主人，反对政府的控制，反对墙的控制，反对各种控制。DC加油，鲨鲨比心。
更有意思的电影难道不是“男主死在家里-复制人也被老婆发现-这下该何去何从”吗
I was happy,floating,staring at the stars.
对嘛，科技巨头出品的片子怎么会反高科技呢。
集大成的極簡電影作品，優秀地利用和展示了多重感觀緯度，和不怎麼複雜卻永遠新鮮的愛的主題。導演在諸多細節上把控完美，allbirds的鞋，frank ocean的歌，ui的質感和動效，山間的雕刻石凳，松林里的滴答雨聲共同組成了一組恆定的靜謐氣氛。--很慶幸這次是自己戴了耳機獨自觀看影片，可以深深沉浸到那個接近空白的極簡空間，盯著孩子的眼睛去回憶一段時間。😭
8.0既然你不想看妻子为你死亡而难过去做的克隆，那你确保克隆人不出问题以后，就干脆不要再出现。既然你放不下那就别去做克隆，告诉妻子身体快不行了，接受妻子为你伤心难过，快乐的和妻子儿子过好为数不多的时光。虽然犹豫，放不下是人类的通病，孰能无情，怎么可能保持理性。但是既然你做了这个决定就要接受这个决定带来的一切，不管好与不好全盘接受。反反复复这点很不舒服
2星，一个披着科幻概念的人性片，主要就是讨论人性与科技的碰撞。比较文艺，很多不合理之处可以忽略。
我想再次重逢，那是一首生命挽歌
把伦理问题拍成鸡汤糖水片就算了，还拍这么长……
【4星半】苹果出品属实高逼格，第一次感受到软科幻还能具有如此化骨绵柔的魄力，原主和克隆者已不再是“真”与“假”，或者“真相”与“欺骗”这样简单的属性，而是代表着“爱”与“替代去爱，永恒地爱所爱之人”，一次非常温柔安静的意识沉浸，感谢阿里、格伦和奥卡菲娜，以及这个异常魅力的故事。
影片的演绎都是关于告别，同自己、同爱人，这份费心铺垫，残忍又何其幸运，现实里太多人都没有个像样的告别。影片启止纯粹如一，结局深情而伤感，只要自己爱的人幸福就好，无论最后陪伴她的人是谁。大爱如此，似傻如痴，可也正展现了人类拥有真挚感情的美好。
在心中我深知我能释然
不得不承认，Apple+的质感是极好的！
银河护卫队1是漫威宇宙能排进前三的作品，银河护卫队2虽说跟1的差距并不大，但也足够辜负期待了，内容很满，视觉奇观不可谓不出色，开场的长镜头相当漂亮，不少戏份都有亮点，差就差在节奏上的失调，然而这是致命伤。这一部同样如此，期待的是银河护卫队1，实际上的直观感受等同于银河护卫队2，乍看起来转场都很快，一些反类型的设计还比较吃得开，但其实有些戏份尤其是文戏仍然拖沓了，要是减到110分钟左右没准会更好看。DC大概是看中了滚导的群戏能力和反套路的鬼马想象力，然而在反套路之间的衔接却是很影响观感的。
真挚的感情，需要凝滞的节奏来表现？没必要吧
詹姆斯古恩确实挺适合塑造这种群像的，每一个角色都拿捏住了，有点古怪有点搞笑，是不错的爆米花片
只有我的狗发出质疑
冬天悄悄为我来临
里面的场景非常高级，有种未来的感觉，题材蛮有现实主义的意义，然而故事对我而言太无趣。
有被爽到，没有对比没有伤害——说的就是黑寡妇！！！
