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.
一开始的枪战其实拍得不错，但全片的问题在于有点前后不搭调，释放曼德拉的诉救求是半中间才出现的，所以片子有了割裂感。
“正义的劫持” 这类上升到国家 自由 脚铐的内容 值得加星 一个半小时节奏很紧凑的看完了
最终以争取黑人民主自由运动落下帷幕。
看过有些难过，不知道女主是真的平和豁达还是用微笑掩饰痛楚，如果是我，没有办法把被自己喜欢的人欺骗的怨恨和不甘转化成体贴关心不计较，说不准在男同学之前就已经一激动就帮男主出柜了。影片说是讲在性向和普世价值观之间的挣扎，其实仍然在用性向给烂人找借口，大叔给男主展示婚戒的时候问他是否介意，难道不是更该问问自己的妻子是否介意吗？明知道自己做不到却还是想要结婚生子不惜欺骗无辜的女性，想要看起来普通甚至自己都觉得自己恶心的人有什么资格被世人理解包容？政治正确的世界里甚至骗婚男同都可以站在阳光下但同妻只能活在无人在意的阴影里。
虽然人心向善，但是自由的代价，真的是很大的，尤其是当有人自以为是霸主的时候。
卧槽好看啊！山田杏奈领奖时候那段发言给我干湿了。摩天轮表白那段拍得也很妙，看到后面汤连得那段又倒回去摩天轮看了一遍。
“Freedom is not free，它的代价是：一切！”他们不是穷凶极恶的恐怖分子，而是真正为自由和正义而战的勇士，最后的赴死一战很壮烈。全程紧张抓人，观赏性是足够的，不过作为真实事件改编，感觉拍得有点偏于商业化简单化了，并没太多可供思考回味的空间，如果深度上能再挖挖就更好了。
最后那句问答 自由的代价是什么？一切。曼德拉也是传奇人物
自由的代价是一切。
三星半 克里斯汀不该死的 有一点难过 “自由的代价是什么？一切。”
演讲比剧好诶，没有那么尬，但是感情递进不够，看剧版我可是流了一海水的泪啊！看这个好像没有特别打动人的地方……也有可能是演技问题？但是影版画面是很漂亮的多给一颗星
很真实啊。有时候理想是完满的，现实总是交错的、困惑的，而你在其中沉默，被批评，做了道德上“错误”的事，当你自己尚未理解一切。
很清新、温柔的作品。虽然不是bl的世界，但也是美好的，或者说呈现的方式是美好的。
直到今天 依然存在种族问题 直到今天 美国依然混乱
看了一个半小时左右，剧情让我有点看不下去了，但是神尾枫珠真的好帅啊啊啊踩在我的审美点上！！
真实事件恐怕没有电影这么夸张，改编太俗了，基本是九十年代好莱坞大片的套路。始终没明白这帮恐怖分子是如何转变思想要求释放曼德拉的，这是最荒诞的地方，直接坚持恐怖主义道路就不行了？他们真就信任曼德拉？真实情况绝非如此。不理解为何时至今日还要把曼德拉搞得很神圣。
节奏把握的不是很好。故事基于南非的真实事件，就会别有一番滋味。但南非这个国家，黑人这么积极的夺取了自由，却不要求上进，感觉也有点遗憾。
好长气的对话，其实推进得好慢。但这三人的精神觉悟还是很高的，不伤害任何平民、警察，因为他们深知这么操作会变质，他们只是需要引起社会的足够重视就够了。任何一个运动或项目，要推翻或达成这件事，都不是那么容易的。电影把现实中的他们美化了，然后还牵起释放曼德拉的运动，是真的么？补补历史才行，否则就会出现英国绥靖导致二战参战国有时间备战这些错误的历史认识
