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.
造型走了一点济斯瓦夫·贝克辛斯基。整体上东西方审美杂糅其中，比一般好莱坞的一股子爆米花塑料味儿要好。之外，文戏拖沓好像是女导演指导超英的通病。赵小姐还是继续拍文艺片吧。
PS：各种族闪亮登场，然后残疾，同性，痴呆，儿童……政治十分相当必须正确啊。。。
现在的超英电影，连个正儿八经的反派都找不出来了。电影里面是一直在内讧的永恒族，结局可以说是拉到太阳系，漫威的口碑在我这里要崩盘了，一部更比一部烂。感觉赵导这风格应该去拍DC的电影
还有无与伦比的力量和速度展现感!
不至于到漫威最差，好歹还有毒液2垫底，只是风格太不漫威了，想要探讨深刻议题又不想舍弃漫威式幽默，多少格格不入。从“上帝视角”来看待人类纷争与人性善恶又显得说教味十足，而冗长的对话让节奏区别于以往漫威作品的轻快，好在群像戏每个角色都有带到，朱莉、马东锡、少狼主、雪诺等等角色都性格分明，不会过目即忘，尤其是打斗场面分工明确，不同于复联的金属线条设计在视觉呈现上还算惊艳，尤其采用自然光与天神组的庞然巨物都有着导演个人美学辨识度。影片宏观的叙事以及大量权游班底显然有想打造史诗的野心，又不得不被片段化的动作戏打断，而电影最大的优点当属又一次拓宽了漫威宇宙的维度。
发了98次誓不再看英雄片的我为了同志情节看了第362部Marvel，万万没想到同志情节发生这个角色身上，and，再次发誓......
确实没明白谈了个啥，人物也不立体，床戏莫名其妙，反转更奇妙
虽然一直在强调这些永恒族在地球上被humanity改变了，但基本也就是嘴上说说，没有什么有说服力的剧情在体现他们真实被地球人类感动和改变…而作为一个对地球人类而言近乎神一样的种族，他们的内部交流为什么风格如此…美国青少年？（举个例子，你能想象一群Valar之间这样说话和闹矛盾吗？）…但女主角不错！
其实在这种商业超英片中依然能看出来赵婷其他作品的影子以及她的野心，只是可惜她高估了大众的接受度，也没有很好的适配自己成为了商业片导演这一角色。所以真诚的希望一些有才能有灵气的导演可以远离这种商业超英片，真的要珍惜自己的羽毛。
算是以一种并不讨喜的方式讲超英故事。一群自视甚高的中产，一方面既对引领保护大众沾沾自喜又怒其不争，另一面也对制定方针的领导产生了怀疑，要守护自己的世界。
❸漫威有能力打造“天外有天的世界观”：天神族的出现让银河变得渺小，灭霸似乎也成了小打小闹；
只能说，没想到这么ZZZQ，没想到这么流水账，更没想到朱莉竟然是配角，现在漫威宇宙在好莱坞这么香吗？
喜欢它带来不一样的气质，但也面临着既不娱乐也不深刻，两头不着的尴尬。它最大的问题在于，永恒族和人类的联结并没有得到足够充分的描写，角色在说爱人类、对人类失望的时候，和人类的距离其实很遥远，于是任何思考都变得空洞，有种“俯视”感，最终成为进入角色的阻碍，观影中时常会感受这种别扭。就像写超人，写好克拉克肯特很重要，需要你去融入这个世界才有可能感受到它，何况这是他们最后神性/人性选择的最根本动机。影片一些细节和设定都很有值得琢磨的地方，永恒族和异常族的工具人属性以及他们身上的所承载的，其实相当具有悲剧性，但都没能能好的利用好或者更深地去触及，异常族也简单矮化成为了普通的反派，最后的落点都特别低。或许它更适合拍成剧集去更好地延伸（但不能是D+剧集）。
局搞这么大，时间这么长，不是不行，但也没讲好啊…(怀念《偷星》~…
把世界上各种文明印迹乃至大事件从巴比伦到气候变化，都与这套神话叙事尝试联系。而且古老神话，和漫威改编后的神话，统统收入麾下，尽管限于篇幅着墨还不太全，已经显出相当的主宰现代神话的魄力。抛弃了以往漫威绕着一个世界政府和一个公敌讲故事的套路，冲突形式上从对抗反派变成不再羞赧的价值冲突，不显得子供了。也可以说一个现代认识基础上创造的神话，如果认真观看它会使看待世界的方式发生什么变化，这带来的趣味相当新颖。*听说市场反响一般，特别去查了一下，当前总票房4.02亿美元，成本2亿，看来院线回本较难。如果是同一个导演拍续集，最终要是为了商业成果而妥协拍法，那么我很肯定会越拍越像老漫威，那续集就不会更好看。商业片票房为王，且看且珍惜*
生不逢时…
出差间隙，分了5次看完，每次都看得犯困，这片子，这IMAX，我要是在电影院，我得从头睡到尾
全程我都在想导演可太爽了吧全世界跑着拍，卡司还包含了我花痴多年的gemma chan（不过她表演比较underwhelming，太克制了）和jolie，且没有任何大油子。羡慕。之前以为是个throwaway，现在看来是漫威的下一个大团体哎，居然这么信任她！anyway这种budget这种IP，居然还是能拍出不少自己的味道，我对她前一部的厌恶减轻了不少。没想到居然还挺适合拍这种商业大片的。整体很饱满，喜欢多元设定。节奏不拖沓，只是不着急而已。对我个人来讲可看性远高于传统超英。
比想象中好 还看到了浪味仙，哈哈 看到第一个彩蛋的两个角色，一句卧槽
