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.
低幼向的奇幻故事，结尾很暖心，回归母爱与和平。
对这部的感情很复杂。一方面对于早就知道人类药丸的小行星派而言，它这程度还不够，对于其余观众而言，它又是过于明显的气候变化类比。类似的末日讽刺片上溯至奇爱博士，它当然达不到那个层次，而且中后段就开始重复和疲惫，但它确实很让人难过。我可以对前两个小时的闹剧保持deadpan脸（因为那就是社媒日常嘛），最后10分钟意外温情的聚餐竟然让人瞥见了一点点人类的闪光——感觉这种临死之际的表现才是电影高光。（最高级的段子是开篇那个白宫免费零食，其他的就浮浅了。看完后我理解了友邻说的“拍片治病”是什么意思……这种愤怒宣言大概仅对导演一个人的心理复建有（一点点）效。
非常优秀的剧本。善与恶就好像光与影一样互相依存，人的本性都是自私的，一心只沉浸于自我的世界里往往便是恶念的开端，能以自己遭受的苦难推己及人感同身受已非凡人，在此之上若能背负起他人的罪恶执行救赎，便是英雄。（小演员演技真好，内藤桑特写的眼神变换镜头非常惊艳）
三星半
黑政府和娱乐至死的主题实在不新了，1997年就有《摇尾狗》，只是彼时是用国家存亡掩盖桃色新闻，今日是用娱乐新闻掩盖文明毁灭，二十多年来人类的进化方向更悲观了……虽然cliché，但影片节奏把握很好，而且好笑是真的很好笑……
剧场版时间有点短，有点紧，贤人和伦太郎的部分可以再演一点
A noisy farce thanks to Leonardo's continuous roar... Well Timothee proves to be the only normal and beautiful person in it.
小心翼翼地讲了一个意识形态撕裂后的恐怖故事，但又不敢太严肃，所以做成了一个爆米花。有时候确实也想大吼 would people just stop being so fucking pleasant? not everything needs to sound clever.
总的来说太短了，以至于很多东西要靠脑补，拍成三部曲之类的可能会更好。
全程都是直球黑。但一想到现实，又不能叫黑，而是对着新闻拍。艺术性是没什么了，现实性满分了。
由飞羽真和发小的友情，伦太郎和他父亲的亲情，贤人和他老婆爱情构成了“深罪的三重奏”友情亲情爱情结合为感情，由深罪的三重奏变成了深爱的四重奏
我就随便说几个元素：飙血、文艺、剧情严密、思想深刻、演技在线、打斗精简（占比只有5%左右）、特效优秀、感情细腻、结局美好！
所谓爱的意思就是自己不需要损失任何利益。为什么不换个地方重建镇子让巨怪得到自由？
从故事上来说挺喜欢的，ed也很好听🥺但是还是会觉得托马老师ooc！更像个独立故事……
我焯假面骑士能不能多来一点这样风格化的作品。
合唱主题曲太好听了😭好喜欢这种风格，很适合圣刃，循环停不下来。
设定令我想起伊藤润二的《地狱星》，一是命名一是总统坐飞船去太空。一班演员都演得不错，在各自相对单薄的角色上（毕竟是6个月时间设定）给予了具有厚度的表演，这种表演给人物带来了别样的魅力，每个人角色几乎都离不开这个饰演的演员本身的魅力，小李子在于声音的塑造，切糕在于妆容的塑造，梅姨非常适度的控制了惯用表情，美中不足的是詹妮弗劳伦斯已经不再是凯特尼斯了，她和她的角色令我觉得是有点停滞的，虽然起手她演得很好。我喜欢这个很当下的电影，虽然是一个科幻的设定，但是它拍的就是此刻。
像个正常日剧而不是好像拍出来只是为了卖玩具和皮套可以说进步巨大。。。
2022-3-2 这种讽刺极致到不得不相信这些都会发生，但代入困难的主因还是美国至上的过时思维吧
本来看之前的媒体评价降低预期，以为是美式春晚阵容联欢，结果真是嗨到爆啊，对，真的爆了🙈
