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.
共军接到军令，需48小时内炸毁白匪弹药库，由一人开始，随剧情推进，人数逐渐增加，又最终牺牲减少，归于一人，杂乱的方言处理十分还原历史
美术功底见长影片的通病：画面颇具美感，剧情处理粗糙。结尾的血雨设计有画面冲击力，但主旋律和诗意难以共存的问题仍然没有得到调节。后期方言配音是最初的设计还是为了中和演技的不足？/现场交流难受得让人扣一分
99%黑白画面，雾气朦胧的山野，方言对白，经常虚焦、前后景变换的镜头。这是一部需要融入“感觉”而不是简单去“观看”的另类战争片。场面很小，主线很清晰，但属于拍摄、演绎和制作的完成度颇高的“类型片”。全片充满一种阴郁压抑的氛围，连人物的情感也被这股氛围所压制。但同时也不乏每一位战士对家、对亲人、对战友的真性情流露，无论是恐惧、念家、还是舍己。片中的声效和对白都是后期重新混合的，但基本没有产生违和感，尤其是环境声音和人物在身负重伤时的哀鸣，特别有代入感。
太暗了，观影体验极其不好。表达满天飞，真是飞到云霄之上了。我跟学院派中间有着一道巨大的鸿沟。最近进影院看的片都一言难尽，我这是造了什么孽！
BJIFF 2021 ＃小切口叙事+真实历史背景+诗意影像质感，可以是低成本战争题材影片创作的一条路径。不得不说用黑白画面来展现的烟雾缭绕的山间景色，竹林溪流，芦苇飘飘，包括水下摄影镜头，都达成了很协调自然的沉浸式美学质感。只不过这种美感是建立在人物面临残酷困境的基础之上。影片叙事的克制性建立在整体客观冷静的氛围之下，其内部矛盾冲突还是很充实的。主要是故事角度抓得好，转折反套路，但问题是人物塑造还是不太鲜明，导致观影始终会有脸盲感，对比《八佰》就很明显了。但如果要解释成为创作者注重群像全景式描写，意图不在分别刻画人物，那么也就无可厚非。有几场戏尝试营造出了放大人物内心活动的超现实空间，比如托枪寻敌人和结尾淋血雨的段落，就比较适合做解读教学片例…
为何是赴死的军令？难道我军给战士下命令就是去死吗？这跟集结号里欺骗七连有什么区别？这不还是国民党军那一套——视士兵的生命如草芥！
#bjiff# 故事讲的不太好，摄影很不错，不愧是国美，略有点喧宾夺主，就当摄影秀了
没想象中那么风格化，反而很接近末世求生电影的类型架构。对白皆方言，然而也都是后期由专人配音的；吴、湘方言大概能听出来，别的不好说，但我总觉得讲不同方言的人能对话挺奇怪的。显然比较出色的部分一个在开篇，从先声夺人到长镜结束，虽然抖得不行，但让我印象深刻；另一处是洪队在悲伤与高压之下，于林中陷入幻觉，草木皆兵，做出了《恐怖游轮》的既视感。总体上形式与内容割裂较大，我常觉得创作者醉心于江南风光而忘记了文本为何。头一回听说“挺进师”，作为浙江人还是挺骄傲的。
从没见过这样的国产战争片：剧本，美术，摄影
行云流水的长镜头，每一个镜头都充满隐喻，可以看出影片中没有什么大场景、高级特效，但氛围感却很足
艺术性很高的主旋律电影……so……艺术性高+主题比较不新颖=迈不过去的双门槛……
干弟弟出演的电影，大家多多支持！4分给电影，1分亲友分！
220627深影86分钟版+云映后。开场的几个长镜头和调色令人印象深刻，确实也拍出了导演所言浙西南云雾感，蛇的镜头十分惊悚。但主题和人物塑造实在有点儿似新还旧，在个体意识和主旋律两头不到岸。散场出来在公交站听到一个小哥评价说这片技巧走写意叙事走写实（大意），深以为然。

1.最大的是声音问题。跳瀑布的特效很假，人物的喘息声太假，小孩从远处走来和大人的音量一样， 篝火的贴片音效太一致太假，老鲁在山洞里的声音要把耳朵弄聋 没有回声 特别平面 没有远近的层次感，声音没有方位感 音量大小来源一致 拟音特别差 对白混音混出电音
看不进去，也没怎么看懂，只能说是国内战争片里面少有的不主旋律的电影。
《云看出品就知道是一部绝对的艺术作品了，冲着拿奖去的所以肯定有别于商业性的主旋律电影。
5.31 杭州映后见面会场。画面色彩很美院风，剧情台词无力吐槽。优点很明显，独特的黑白水墨美学+恰到好处的摄影运镜；缺点也很明显，糟糕不堪的演技+毫无内容输出的剧本+突兀割裂的后期配音。PS：映后交流没见过这么喧宾夺主的，请部分美院学生不要在别的包场组团夸夸，请把发言机会还给我们。
七一建党单位组织观看的电影。中国美院电影作品，美学功底透过电影艺术充分展现，黑白光影功力了得，一瞬间我感受到了《角斗士》《指环王》《恶魔岛》的影像错觉，持续感受到了Dead Can Dance的MV《the protagonist 》的末世画面的氛围。艺术形式大于内容，如散文诗一般的战争片还是很有新意的，重点是感受，而非理性逻辑。
