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.
0分。以一个传记片的角度，是部彻头彻尾的垃圾。梅艳芳是香港之女，剥离掉了香港的时代元素，把她简化成一个底层逆袭励志女星加点虐恋元素，蠢到不行。但就这样都没拍好，梅艳芳一生中最重要的恋人赵文卓何在？日本渣男凭什么在电影里变成了痴心汉？梅艳芳的吸血鬼母亲为何缺席？
看完最后一集，加一颗星。
说实话，我对梅姐的的了解实在谈不上深，因此很难从真实性上谈论本片。不过可以看出，主创绝对是抱着一种深厚的情怀和敬意来描写梅姐，尤其是越到后期，情感就越来越浓郁。可惜的地方在于对梅姐事业进程的的描写过于按部就班，反而对其亲情友情爱情进行重点刻画（特别是和近藤的事，绝对是最大的争议点，而且编剧相当不着调地cue了一下中森明菜）。 演员方面，新人王丹妮可谓表现出色，不仅很多地方有梅姐的神韵，而且有几场戏已经不止于单纯的模仿，还有属于她自己的精彩演绎，廖子妤的梅爱芳也颇为生动。
很干净的传记片，人物深度点到为止，故事陷入儿女情长的深渊中。虽然结尾足够惊艳，但仍然是一部平庸的电影作品，不过非常适合我这种不太了解梅艳芳的观众。导演有意借古喻今的想法很好，因为以前的香港多么美好啊。
2004年第23届香港电影金像奖有一个特殊奖项——演艺光辉永恒大奖，获奖者有两位，分别是梅艳芳和张国荣。
由头至尾眼湿湿的看完 ，即便只是蜻蜓点水浅尝辄止的讲述了梅艳芳的一生，也是让人无比的感动。梅艳芳的一生堪称伟大！
2）美化了连2G冲浪香港娱乐圈的我都知道的世纪日本大渣男近藤真彦。据说《夕阳之歌》版权在他那里？哦那没事了。
很庆幸还有机会看到粤语杜比影院版，用一种更纯粹更震撼的方式欣赏这部致敬传奇的传记片。虽然整部电影没有多么澎湃的大起大落，但却能从这样平静的叙述中感受到她内心的力量，坚持到底，有始有终。在有限的时间里尽可能发光发热，为自己，为舞台，为社会，为背后每一个支持她的人。
百变梅艳芳，香港的女儿。喜欢港片的，强推《梅艳芳》，看到泪目。 王丹妮演得非常好。 演哥哥的不做评价。程序员都干嘛吃的？别TM搞美女换头了，赶快让去世的演员们在电影里复活才是正经事。
电影公布选角的时候，内心是有落差的。但电影看下来，主要角色的演绎并没有拖后腿，整体呈现非常不错。原因在于，电影对于八十年代的香港的构建，完成得太漂亮了，以至于主要角色的外貌与原角色的相似度，显得不那么重要。观影的过程中，我清楚地认识到，王丹妮不是梅艳芳，刘俊谦也不是张国荣，但这并不妨碍我进入那个未曾谋面的香港。让人感动的是，尽管现实有这么多的不堪，电影仍然用了一种美好的方式去回忆梅姐的恋情。梅艳芳是一位坚强的女子，分手也大方体面，没有激烈争吵，而是在公园长椅上轻松地聊天，告别。最催人泪下的是告别演唱会的还原，那是许多人深刻怀念又未能企及的高光时刻。电影在夕阳之歌中落幕，但这夕阳永不下沉。
从4岁半和姐姐当小歌女养活自己，到一首《风的季节》一跃成为香港新秀歌唱大赛的冠军，再在声名鹊起时宣布告别歌坛，又在生命最终章里燃烧着倔强与坚定的热情......梅艳芳的一生都乐观、坚强、无畏、勇敢。就像她曾说的“我并不是一个弱者，虽然我是一个病人”，在生命的最后，她穿着挚友设计的婚纱，登上最爱的舞台并嫁给它，被亲友与无数观众围绕着，有很多很多人都在怀念，也算是一件幸事。
不得罪活着的人的端水态度，其实就已经很让这片受限了，但选取的角度和编剧层面的呈现，导致整个片子都很流于表面，人物也立不住。不了解梅姐的人看完还是感受不到她的魅力，这是最要命的。
每一次的魅力散发都来自录像里的真人本身，一切回演员就感觉很露怯。
昔时人已逝，今日歌犹存。
边看边哭不是因为片子拍得好。而是故事原型本就动人，以及因此而被勾起的真情实感。
故事原型值10分，电影本身可能只值6分，整部片四平八稳，梁乐民拍得也没犯错，只不过有点过于流水和集锦了。
［院］最后一段婚纱《夕阳之歌》还是挺感动的，女主还是挺神似的。Leslie的选角挺令人失望，完全像是一个需要存在的工具人。
［慢歌唱唏嘘，快歌唱反叛］目測入場觀眾都是阿叔阿嬸，他們一定好有共鳴，但論劇情是令人失望的，情節太零碎，全都是輕輕帶過⋯香港人拍戲唔夠韓仔黎嚕。但我還是喜歡這套電影，因為它拍出了那個令人嚮往的香港8/90年代：「那20年正是香港的黃金時代，我們中西薈萃、自由奔放、創意無限……曾經燦爛」
传记电影最糟糕的形态，从未如此希望能多放点原片。女主虽然长得是有几分相似，但不幸演技全靠瞪眼嘟嘴展现，有形而无意。故事就是编年流水账，毫无亮点可言，没有叙事。全片的质感单薄到根本不知道投资的钱都哪里去了，连调色都没好好弄，粗糙得要命，怀旧也不至于怀出这种发霉的蓝绿色吧？
传奇一生，虽然在情感上不专一，艺术却是巅峰。
