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.
注定是属于DC粉的狂欢，四个小时真的太长了，前半段实在劝退，一度让人看不下去，分两次才看完，不过也更加丰富了每个超级英雄的人设，扎导的风格真是让人又爱又恨，也感谢扎导让正义联盟的故事更加完整，未来噩梦才是看点，期待续集
比当年版本多一星。《手表群侠》的历史地位无法超越。
看着看着 想到了霸王别姬 又想到了活着，但话剧般的布景走位 放大缩小的镜头 却又独树一帜。能把这么宏大时代叙事架构下，又把nuances拍得出来，又加入阎王地府的元素 真的太棒太棒了 (第一次在纽约看indie film @anthology film archives
1、如果按照一般三部曲的情况的话，是可以期待蝙蝠侠在第三部的时候开挂的，可惜这部已经是绝唱了
太冗长，视觉疲乏，很小儿科的故事偏偏搞的跟史诗似的，全程都是尿点，容易睡着。不推荐。JL这个项目就是糟糕的，再怎么拍都不好看，路就没铺好。
逻辑通顺了很多，调色也不一样了，最后大战每个人都有闪光点了，重要的是配乐，终于知道正确的配乐是什么了，这才是热血。一定要两版对比看……原来那版那些尴尬的Fun真的是后面补拍的。
"新戏从来话旧事”，一句话非但不指向新生，反而给大陆电影下了死刑判决，仿佛第五代的阴霾还不够窒息，第五代的叛变不够近在眼前，仿佛重写历史仍然是唯一的出路，而我们的观众又究竟要沉迷于陈旧的集体叙事，沉迷于咀嚼和反刍一成不变的窝囊到几时？导演的风格无疑是成熟且自洽的，但或许正是因为太自洽了，他和自己的世界一样一劳永逸地活在了阴间，不需要质疑自己在说什么，拍到了什么，他的人物又意味着什么：场面调度成了唯一的内容，但可供调度的素材又是几乎不存在的，因为从一开始这就是一个人的游戏。 A New Old Play演的究竟是什么戏？一个中国文人一脉相承的春秋大梦：想用一个集体叙事盖过另一个，最终发现无非还是同一个。
好家伙给我看困了，噱头比真实意义大，为什么四个小时因为有两个小时是慢镜头拉长的
2021洛迦诺主竞赛-评委会特别奖+青年评审团二等奖。邱炯炯电影第二阶段开山作。「霸王别姬」做到的，「椒麻堂会」大部分做到了；「霸王别姬」没做到的，「椒麻堂会」做了很多。#年度十佳Mark#
论项目预算，项目分期的重要性以及项目重建的必要性。
超人回到战场嘲讽荒原狼的台词是「Not impressed 」，然后在「钢铁之躯」经典的「飞行」主题旋律（尤其指的是本曲2:41开始的后半段）下，暴揍荒原狼。
很想报复性打高分，尤其是在四年之后还留有被喂屎后的bad taste。这一部恐怕是施奈德生涯最佳，从自身的角度进步是因为并没有沉迷于being a pseudo-intellectual。是一部对得起DC的漫画电影。Whedon, you misogynistic fuck. 以这部电影为基石，DCEU能带给粉丝观众娱乐性的潜力真的很大，甚至大于MCU，就看WB继续昏招连发了。最后单独说一句，郑恺大概是近期好莱坞讨好中国的电影里最不tag on的一个中国演员了。

第一部和脑腻在家里看完的电影，没想到居然是这部，而且还是四个小时超爽版，一边在给脑腻科普，一边享受惬意的周末时光可能是人生最美好的事情了，总之扎导剪辑版确实很丰满，零基础入门的脑腻也可以如此津津有味。
好看且美丽 但感觉主题没啥新的东西 看完没有新的认知
一部深刻厚重的暗黑童话，电影语言独树一帜。
前半段旧时代，舞台风格极强，妙笔频出，用模型做小镇空拍，并以刀划破天空作为抗战到来的预警；用真人来扮演被供着的佛像，还在逃跑时候卷起来扛着到处走。 后半段新时代，犹如《霸王别姬》《无悔追踪》的串场，也有自然灾害时期，大粪里找蛆烤着吃补充蛋白这种具体情节。叙事结构上阴阳交叠，牛头马面来捉人上路，不过黄泉路上的拍法未免单调。
当剪辑的审美与品控权握在导演手中，影片的模样如脱胎换骨、浴火重生。张力拉满、韵味留足、丰富的细节支撑、弱化的快消属性——导演于有限主题空间之中施展的有限导演能力，一方面提高了影片质量一方面让系列作品（宇宙系列）难以保持一致性，观众开心资方难过，资本果然是不顾死活的。从拍摄素材来看，前期中期都很棒，为了发行而改道另行实在不是明智的行为。创作者与资本的博弈，在国内与国外均有不同烈度的斗争与抗衡呀。当然了，奇观的主题需要巨量的投入与明星资源堆叠，资方强势的局面之下，有趣的、听话的、有能力的走狗式导演与crew才是最受欢迎的，这一点可以从老马丁炮轰漫威的一系列事件中看出来，而卡梅隆这个牛逼的漏网之鱼却一边慢腾腾地磨洋工一边难望后来者。
院线版主要还是急功近利，个人电影还没出完就急着上团队戏，结果什么都没交代清楚就草草了事，导剪版基本上是把每个英雄的故事清楚捋了一遍，但是对于不怎么了解漫画的观众来说还是一头雾水，这是华纳的锅，跟导演没什么关系。
有的看就满足了。不过正联里面明明应该拍老爷和大超主CP才对，不要坏规矩诶：）
