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.
易烊千玺从电动车上滚下来的时候，我妈在旁边嗷一嗓子。。出了影院还瘪着嘴跟我说，我还想哭……
跟药神确实差了好几个档次，前期的强行卖惨和后期的强行煽情都体现了剧本的薄弱，人物单线条没层次，场景调度也是生硬刻意。
易烊千玺未来可期！小妹妹好可爱好漂亮！
大湾区的献片 电影情节我给三星
药神这个基调太高了，虽然有降低预期的准备，还是觉得有落差，不过电影细节一如既往的好，演技也不错，希望文导再创佳绩
虽然正能量，但是却并不励志，中途跳戏感觉在看《我的哥哥》。电影塑造了一个努力就会成功的内容，但是看的时候我自己都骗不了自己。动容的地方有2点，一个是齐溪饰演的女工被逼迫签字，一个是小朋友听到老爷爷腿被炸伤时候流眼泪。
70/100
心痛麻了
三星半，可看
前面拍的挺好的，演的也挺好的，但後面漸漸發現，原來是大灣區宣傳隊的作業
深圳真是个奇迹之城/每个人物都安排了结局，我真的会恍惚他们是有原型的
真的不错，有笑有泪，剧情诉说小人物的故事满分💯努力奋斗有好结果的💪💪
很假先不说，其他我不敢说，那就这样吧。。。。
简·坎皮恩时隔12年的新片，获威尼斯最佳导演。1.没想到坎皮恩对男性心理也能有如此深刻细腻的洞察，影片虽聚焦男性情谊，但背后却是对父权社会全方位灌输的“男性气质”的不露声色的批判讽刺，两位男主的父亲实质上均成了横亘在二人心头的“缺席的在场者”，与历史和记忆一道压抑着他们的人生。2.影片亦是对所谓“恐同即深柜”的精妙呈现，在心理学上，这恰属于典型的“反向形成”，一种自我防御策略。3.片名“犬之力”来自[圣经·诗篇]22章20节，狗在犹太/基督教传统中常被看作邪恶之力，一如刀剑，而片中的各种动物意象也颇有指涉。4.多处令人想及[断背山]与[钢琴课]，但却是一部不折不扣的反西部片与去浪漫化的同性片，坎皮恩的视听驾驭与符号设置比[钢琴课]时期更加自如娴熟，也更加克制内敛。5.被烧坏的纸花与交相传递的香烟。（8.5/10）
作为一种长期缺失的类型片，第二口西瓜肯定没那么甜了，其实优缺点和药神大差不差，比如正面小人物的接地气和反面精英的脸谱化。这部观感差一些还是题材的问题，虽然都有某种程度的主旋律媾和，但结合现实药神是拨乱反正，自然有张力；奇迹是奋斗之城，全是顺着来的，主创就没有能力搞出一个不生硬收尾的剧本了。有点可惜，深圳有中国城市里独一份儿的气质，该有个更深刻迷人的银幕展现。
看见平凡人的努力！刚开始觉得就是爽文吧，但是谁不是在自己的生活里拼尽全力呢？
其实整体剧情都能想到：成功前的一次次困难与意外，以及最后的成功。
过程拍得挺现实的，我现在很看好易烊千玺的演技
如果结尾不那么煽情就更好了
