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.
记得原版是胜之不武，这版就细节足够丰富，情感足够细腻，铺垫线索足够续集叻
完整交代前因后果的剧情和漫天燃烧经费的特效当然够沉浸够精彩，只不过4个小时的片长某些情节依然衔接的草率生硬——比如超人复活那一章的情感戏也太敷衍了；DC英雄各有看点，盖尔·加朵往那儿飒飒一站，HBO基本盘已经稳了。// PS. 可能这部导演剪辑版对DC影迷们意义重大，但我这种对超级英雄不感冒只当作软科幻片来看的观众，其实并(盼)没(望)有动作场面之外的收获。
86/100 应是2020s年代前五的华语片水平。属于邱炯炯的《电影史》：从二三十年代默片（居然想到《将军号》）到革命样板戏…再到各种后现代的拼接，在手工影棚（美学风格部分离不开业内又非职业人员组成的工作坊的生产方式）里穿越大半个20世纪中国，同时电影又是借由肖像（个体）与空间（大环境）来穿越历史。电影在现实与梦境、生与死间跳转，人物在政治和艺术之间周旋，新的生发于旧的，旧的又因各种原因深埋于新事物之中，某一瞬间，才意识到封建时代的幽魂从未完全散去（像那个黄面蜡像）。一个核心张力在于，社会中所有新的变化，最终都多多少少在处理与过去的某种关系。喜欢合照那段似乎总是置身事外的坨儿对camera的“接管”——一段取景器内的黑白段落，提醒着观众面对历史的更换要始终保持警醒，这也是艺术间离的成功体现。
赤膊、慢镜头、恢弘配乐，郭敬明足以比肩扎克施耐德。我是很喜欢闪电侠的扮演者艾兹拉米勒的，他身上那种独特的雌雄共体的气质，不应该浪费在演这种超英电影上。
之前一直很期待，终于看完。导演的才气和勇气令人钦佩。我一直很喜欢《太阳照常升起》，它从看似真实的生活中偶然浮现的不真实让我着迷。《椒麻堂会》更进一步，直接卸去伪装，用最不真实的布景，最荒诞的形式，讲了一个最真实的故事。邱导不煽情，情感处理克制，却让我观影途中两次落泪。“高蛋白”令人印象深刻。或许，现实生活从来都比酆都里的牛鬼蛇神魔幻得多。
拍得真的好啊！表演！美学！声音！完成度真高！
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
由于影片还挺长，所以需要一定的耐心才能看完。首先形式上的新奇之处就不多做评价，觉得最神之处是驼背用照相机看来看去和结尾人人在喝孟婆汤忘却往生。- Filmfest München 25.06.2022
ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ
哪里没有斗争？你看华纳高层把这片弄得多曲折~没看过之前的版本，现在是比较完整的故事，但4个小时真的多了，看得好累。一直分不清漫威和DC，英雄人物还卖来卖去弄得我更加混淆。超人比其他几个人加起来还猛的设定是怎么来的？漫画里就是这样的吗？
全片贯穿始终的是父亲，到最后出现字幕For Autumn才明白为什么，扎导女儿抑郁症自杀，这是献给女儿的电影。
连看两遍，就爱渣导慢镜头mv！以及，小闪永远是最可爱的！
就凭美学成风格这一点来说真的就已经很让人尊敬了。炯炯在这部片子里想谈论的东西很多，有点想要一网子一网打尽的意味，导致有那么点散了，微微冗长。
一晚上连着看了两个版本的《正义联盟》。虽然三年多前看过剧院般的，但竟然一点情节都记不住了。太可怕了，人的大脑容量在这个信息爆炸的显得这么捉襟见肘，那些无惊无喜的平庸之物只能被后来者迅速覆盖。新版的正联我看着并不觉得比原版的有多好，除了荒原狼的造型，可以说是唯一亮点。旧版的荒原狼跟新版的比，简直像是慈祥有爱的大叔。
#thesnydercut# 三年断断续续的参与导剪运动，现在是时候move on啦
真情实感哭了。超人可真是太好了啊啊啊啊！震惊！扎导原来适合拍电视剧？
是介于舞台和电影之间的2.5维 比舞台的二维更立体 比电影的三维更扁平 方言加分 那种鬼魅感和超现实感是独属于从旧媒体遗留下来变换成现在的电影的全新形式 半沉浸体验 二维的砖墙和石头门 像是导演提醒观众处于一个戏剧化的世界 喜欢形式大于内容太多 感觉终于有些只有中国电影人能想出来的东西了 而且不是只有苦哈哈的内核 而是真正创新实验性的东西
# 25 POFF# 三个小时借小人物的命运客观真实的铺陈了中国近代史的变迁过程，能令人回想起曾在戛纳获得金棕榈的华语影片，但舞美视听都有所创新，更加具备新时代的耳目一新感，不失为近年华语影片承上启下的佳作，也为华语电影能够再度斩获欧洲三大最高奖的愿景增加了些许希冀
片中也透露出不人性的一面。英雄有伟大的使命和宏愿，是拯救世界的英雄，却只有符号化的情感，没有人之常情的反应和行动。
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。
