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.
前半的铺垫过于冗长 精彩的就是后头 所有的真相用大约倒叙的方式呈现 真相无法战胜 也无力 这个国家的人口已经全球第一 接下来呢 问题还在 没法改变 可能 大家都一样 但 他们可以说我们不可能
和《杰伊·比姆》成为双生花，道理和讽刺再多，你有勇气付诸实践吗？
这哪里是一部电影，简直就是一颗火种。被人家操纵还自以为是正义，大众沦为棋子，情绪被政治利用，容易被煽动的人群只顾闷头前行，却从不停下来思考。影片抽丝剥茧还原真相，剧情一波三折，高潮迭起，看的酣畅淋漓。不要总渴望别人恩赐，自己起来做舵手吧！
相较于韩国喜欢拍摄政治的阴暗腐朽，印度此片拍得更为激进和革命，唾弃那让人永世不得翻身的种姓制度。电影配乐歌曲非常好听，求原音。
其实只值七分多一点，各种反转突兀且套路，音乐和慢镜头毫无增色，同题材的沉默的真相各方面都比它丰满太多。但真的希望这样的题材能多在大陆看到
精彩绝伦！是这几年看过的最棒的印度影片之一！能把本国政治丑陋的一面搬上大屏幕很值得佩服。剧中无数的反转看的也很过瘾。简洁干练不拖沓。
广场，学生，抗议，暴乱，镇压，政治，种族，性别，教育，人权，亲情，爱情，友情，全部浓缩在160分钟里面，无限反转，无限精彩。
印度电影每年都能留下至少一部直击痛点，震撼人心的片子，那中场休息拉开了剧情反转的帷幕。自杀，他杀只是一种死亡的表面方式，但真正的内核或许是体制，是时代。为了目的可以玩任何肮脏的游戏，但又有多少人愿意揭露这种肮脏，用革命的水洗涤这些肮脏。他确实不仅为自己发声，更多的是众人内心的扩音器，让肮脏在正义之声下一点点瓦解。
二次反转不错 前2小时20分钟毫无观赏体验 冗长 无趣
一部我在简中边偷乐边等续集的电影，导演别逼我求你。
btw,此片是没有歌舞表演的印度电影，只有几段烘托情感的歌曲。
至少我被反转震撼到了。政治游戏不一定非要像好莱坞里的漂亮国那样特工满天飞，满世界007。其实最恐怖的就是享受特权的那帮人玩弄底层人民。唐山、毒教材、舆论审核……
反转来的很是突然。很久没看过这么酣畅的电影了。
能拍已经是很大的进步了，虽说改变不了什么，但火苗已经种下了，时间一长终会烧起来！
从这个电影也可以看出来，各国都是天下乌鸦，一般黑 ，哪里都差不多
“在良心面前 没有少数服从多数的法则”
看到一半还以为就是个继续的俗套故事，后半段开始反转。所有民众能看到的，都是各种博弈下故意引导的，底层会有流动，但头部玩家几乎不转移不涌入，只是限定人群的接力赛而已。想明白这个，很多事情自然就解释通了，金字塔的底层贡献劳动力和支持率，金字塔中间负责执行，塔尖的教皇们则坐享其成，求同存异。
ps看过的第一部没有传统歌舞的印度电影
正义，究竟是有多么多么难才能覆盖地球？这部电影的深度，已经穿透了地心，直接穿到了每个看过它的人心中，每一个善良的人心中！层级的差异化把舆论，法律，警察等等都赤裸裸展示在了台面上，赤裸得令人发指。千言万语，情认真去看，这部电影今年奥斯卡拿不到我直播洗头！PS.这印度的正义的律师一个比一个帅，一个比一个牛逼。 或许这部电影揭开了人类社会的本质，永远都是对立的两方——宿敌在战斗，人类社会本身就是一场“体制的屠杀”。
咱就是说，印度这个老嫂子，电影是真敢拍啊。这高分基本都是给题材大胆的吧！电影还是印度套路，歌舞部分不多，剧情反转反转再反转，政治，媒体，女性，种族歧视等等，都涉及。四分
