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.
古装片是Ridley擅长的领域，票房扑了有点可惜。主题很好，Matt Damon和Ben Affleck做这个电影是想表示他们跟当Weinstein马仔的过去一刀两断吗!Adam Driver居然是"帅气"的人设，我抄袭别人评价他那张脸的一句话，he looks like someone beat the shit out of Keanu Reeves.
非常有趣且有深度的作品。大体模式类似黑泽明的《罗生门》，同一个事件，但三个人讲出了三个不同的故事。且并不止于故事，还展现出了那个时代的政治系统，交际状况，查理六世的无能导致法国的混乱，还有那个时代女性的困境。虽说故事在最后还是如《罗生门》一样没有定数，但也正因如此在值得细细品味。
人们在伪女权哀怨的时候，忽略了残酷的第一道前提是男人要先死。女人的不忠，在生物学上是毫无损失的，相对来说，男性会被取消生物意义。真正的客观是考虑当时的生产条件，而不是用天堂的法则去管地狱的事
上帝造男造女，真相不重要。马特达蒙发型太丑了。
一句话概括就是自古至今，No 都他妈 means No。片子挺好但希望导演们不要再让譬如马呆萌这样的核心美国人来演法国人了哈哈哈哈哈
2021年第28部。这部电影的观影体验可以分为两部分：前半部分“哟，不错，四星有了”；后半部分“wocao，五星！”。有人说这片模仿罗生门，其实并不是，影片不是要讲一个事实的不同表述，而是要展现女性自己的样子，以及在不同男性眼中的样子。在丈夫眼中她是温柔的样子，在施暴者眼中她是风情万种的样子，但都是工具人的角色。而她自己眼中的样子，没被看到过，也无人关心。缺点：最大的问题是镜头语言对当事人的感受表达不充分，不同的人竟然有同样的观看视角；另外我们都在夸女性视角，但女性视角是否也有扭曲有偏差呢；对照史实，电影丑化了丈夫的动机，这是否也算是女性主义下对男人的不平等呢；
章节标题字幕淡出的方式道出了作者所认为的the truth，即玛格丽特夫人口中的才是真相，然而“The truth does not matter”。怀孕的科学依据更显时代荒谬，高高在上的国王则一直在以看戏的态度来检视这场决斗。最让我着迷的是电影“平淡”的剧本。保守之中见真章，相比于末路狂花，我更喜欢这一部。
雷德利斯科特今年已经84岁了，还那么高产，关于拿破仑的新片马上也要开拍了，女主还是朱迪科默，祝他老人家长命百岁。
耐心看进去前两段才能get到第三段的情绪和细节，所以要看完整，虽然没什么特别技法但也不失为佳作，老爷子不易，我大本到台前纯是来逗的
旧瓶装新酒，只不过这新酒也没多少新鲜度了，主要是这个酒瓶太旧了，显得这酒喝起来有那么点味道。
维权还是猎巫都是靠女主的起心动念，那么这事走向了反面。整个故事女主道德光环就在于雷得利斯科特强行加入的预设。
7/10。斯科特运用展示竞技场全貌的远景跟拍和近景的残酷搏杀，拍摄冲突双方的殊死对抗，驾马迎击的骑士被乡绅打掉手中的长矛，盾牌也被击碎，坠马后他向周围人要斧头与乡绅决斗，力量慢慢消失，乡绅拿起匕首刺伤骑士的大腿，却逐渐遭受压制，拒绝坦白作最后挣扎，骑士用刀穿透了他张开的嘴，可是事关尊严和名誉的大男子主义，性侵受害者的发声却淹没在群众对英雄的欢呼中，她的身体被男性当成了一件非人化的器具，用于传宗接代和打击丈夫尊严。斯科特的复调叙事营造的不是中世纪惯常的恢弘气势，反而一再削弱关于女性启蒙和教会王权的反思，他牵扯出一个庄园的所有权冲突、骑士对领主的抱怨和包庇强暴的神权制度，所有这些琐事不足够使人共情，而发情的劣马强上母马来隐喻性侵害这场戏，结尾女主角在飘着花香味的庄园里看宝宝学步，都稍显浅白和俗套了。
稳！不过的确是闷/漫长了一点 最后司机被一刀直接插入口腔杀死一下子有点吓到 这竟然不是三级？！香港电检处真的应该吃屎 该做的不做 然后吧…I do get the charm of Driver but come on is it necessary to keep saying he is so dangerously handsome ?????

审判是对男女双方的羞辱，只不过男人损失的是“财产”和“荣誉”，女人损失的却是作为一个人在这个世界独立、真实的存在和从此以后所有的安宁夜晚。决斗看得心惊胆战，眼皮突突直跳，不会为被剥去所有盔甲的灰白尸体惋惜，自然也不会为赢得乡民欢呼拥戴的胜利者庆贺，毕竟也只是国王宝座之下两个奉上了精彩演出的弄臣罢了。女朋友狼狈又失落的表情比全场的男人都要丑陋。
每个男人都是自己的英雄，即便他们其实是莽夫和小人。想到“男人至死是少年”哈哈哈哈，我也不知道这有什么关联性。
7分。那个年代，妻子的确是丈夫的附属品，属于财产。妻子被侵犯相当于自己的财产被侵犯，男人要维护尊严。而决斗审判也很扯淡，女性没有十足把握不敢冒自己被烧死的风险指正被强暴。影片有点长，观赏性不是特别强，主题立意不错，但有点烧脑，不认真思考还分析不出太深刻的东西。
罗生门的戏码说多了也没啥用，只需要明白一个终极道理：
一场决斗，三种视角。每个人认定的事实总会经过个人主观印象的美化，形成了一场说不清道不明的罗生门。所谓的真相可能无从揭露也无人关心，大众需要的只是一个定论——谁有罪。当然最后导演选择了支持女性视角。
决斗好看点儿；各抒己见，但差异不大，真像明晰；日本也有部讲决斗的，叙事穿插更丰富。叫~《报仇》今井正
