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.
其实……依然有网大内容撑不起来的毛病，这个概念总觉得没讲好
连续看了几部“高分推荐”的印度神片，发现都是套路。其中之一就是一定要反转，尤其喜欢结尾反转，而且还要反转再反转。#疲乏#。另外这片电影长度如果能缩减到90或者120分钟会更好。电影过长，要批判的内容又那么多，观众没这么多#耐心#。
画面氛围还不错，7分
甚至无须作鞭辟入里的有力剖析表达，
公路+科幻+环保，片子虽然有些教育意义，但实在太闷了。只有男主和机器人Jeff喋喋不休的唠叨，几乎没啥情节。人类是不可信的，没有希望的，只有机器人和小宠物才是未来的主人？
这是要拍续集还是留白啊，尬在中间了……重杀一遍人犯没有必要，前面交代得挺清楚了。女老师真好看，虽然逻辑不能太深究了，埋的线挖的坑也忒多了，填没填导演自己还搞得清吗？简单点，故事说得简单点，去掉不必要的，会更好！所以那么好的题材，最后突出一个复仇吗？最后真是败笔。总体还是很值得一看的！
印度这种时常的体量，至少有四十分钟是废话，拖沓得看着蛋疼。首先是整个悬疑的气氛，还是差口气，围绕一名女教授的死亡展开调查，背后牵扯出了各方势力。破案的过程，错综复杂的利益纠葛：这些应该是重点，而不是在法庭上的滔滔不绝。当然，最后的法庭戏，只能说是真的敢拍。对女性尊严的维护，对导师绝对权力的批判，对种姓制度的深恶痛绝，对平等、自由、正义的渴望吗，全都在那慷慨激昂的口若悬河里了。上层的丑恶嘴脸，对舆论的操控，对生命的漠视，一切不过是交易的砝码。直到，这些棋子本身的反噬。
我对印度电影一直不关注，之前很讨厌那种运动励志片。但是他们没有严苛的审查。题材很丰富。可以说不同的内容。这样也有助于创作者的创新和故事的饱满。
影片用反转又反转抛出了印度社会的根本问题：制度性腐败，可惜并没有在影片结尾给出我们答案，甚至当观众以为律师是理性的化身之时，又通过一次反转告诉我们这一切的动机是为了复仇。影片最奇怪的地方在于，它用一种煽动式的电影语言告诉观众：不要被媒体煽动，不要被政客煽动。但是它的核心观点之一还是勇敢的，大概可以总结为八个字：去你妈的种姓制度。
一波三折，不断反转，剧情有些复杂，涉及很多案子，似乎还有下一部
谁能想到，末世之下人工智能是因为要照顾一条狗被创造出来呢？
你们想多了的同时想少了 ：） 这片就是讲了一个人工智能特温暖，完成了一个孤独的人类所期望的一切的故事。没讲啥道理，就是个洗脑片，让让大众从情感上放下对AI的恐惧，甚至产生好感。完美切合了当下人类缺乏互信的孤独，和对可信懒不还嘴伴侣的需求。
条件宽松容易出好电影，但是并不代表一定拍成了好电影。
披着科幻外壳，讲的却是一个关于守护的温情故事，末日里的真善美。
几次反转在翻新剧情的同时也带来了新的社会反思。原本以为庭前质问是思索程序正义与事实正义的区别，但或许是因为「可能的结果」抵不住群众「愤怒的情绪」，所以索性一下子写成事实。舆论操控、女性平权、教育腐败、被控制的愤怒，故事一步一步影射着更多的社会问题。两段式的结构使得观众前期被煽动的同情与愤怒在后期得知真相后得到了更进一步的爆发。希望这种情绪的铺垫能多带来一些观后的思考。
电影—振聋发聩！现实—印度政府：你们尽管拍，有什么改变算我输。
3.5。前80分钟是非常普通的印度电影，配乐紧凑到吵得慌，即使刚开庭律师的辩护词也不过是老生常谈的“程序正义”和“实体正义”，以为这片子也就止步到这里。直到后50分钟真相层层浮出水面，先是给我们这些“凡事有消息就热衷发帖、被操纵产生某种可以利用的情绪的网民”一记大耳光，然后再抛出一个问题“媒体的存在是为了报道真相，还是媒体所说的才是真相？”。再之后掀开表面引导向更深的真相，说到底一切问题都与ZZ有关，“体制在口人”、“让提出问题的人沉默、给讨论的人戴上手铐”。世风日下无新鲜事，13亿的印度或15亿的..面对的问题实则都差不多。最后几幕被害的女教授和对学生说“每个人都有慷慨发表意见的权利，但是你有勇气付诸实践吗？”。现实是，我们大多数都是那场大学会议上想伸手表赞同但又放下手的、沉默的人。
人家电影的高度啊，我们这一百年都没达到过。倒不是电影的拍摄手法怎样高超，而且印度电影人的勇气、洞见、对未来的期许和为国为民的热血，在我们这里是如此罕见。打五星，不是因为电影本身多完美，而是因为我们没有。
反转反转再反转再反转。
