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.
一株植物如何孕育出花蕾，一朵花如何绽放盛极转衰。可能你并不关心，如何说的是花束般的恋爱呢？
后半转折虽有点用力，但确实有种生活一天天挫折恋爱的实感。在电影院里我旁边的陌生男士看哭了…可以想象即将掀起今村夏子的阅读热潮。我一出影院也搜索了《茄子的光芒》，bookmeter上最新评论都是看完电影读的书，读者们纷纷点头说，嗯嗯，确实那时的麦君看不了这本（觉得读者们超投入，很可爱）。
这不就是豆瓣网友的恋爱吗，书，电影，音乐。被工作生活磨灭的爱情，意难平啊，最后各自找的另一半是怎样的呢
开始是结束的开始，爱当然会消逝。然而并不为分手感到难过，兴趣的合拍从来不是标准，男女主的错位莫不说一开始就是两种不同的人。对于看上去完美的普通的平凡的幸福的追求人和人是不同的
我想起了鲸鱼的朋友们，那些在地下室看寺山修司、莫里斯皮亚拉，还有考里斯马基的下午。
有人会长大，有人不会，剩下的人都是孤独的。
不，我不想。我不爱人。
这不就是2019到2021年之间的我么，连分手后还一起住了几个月都一模一样……
我记得自己以前说过：爱在三部曲的观影顺序，应该是午夜→黄昏→黎明。感情也应如此。
男神坂元裕二的细腻赞美一万遍也嫌少。绢注意到了麦喜欢把“乘着电车之时”形容成“在电车上摇的时候”，就是那种在沙滩上发现贝壳的感觉。双视角叙述的节奏感太活泼了。押井守、《牯岭街少年杀人事件》都是太漂亮的彩蛋。电影说：开始是结束的起点，相遇伴随着离别。但他说：体验好每一刻，晚安。
为备胎的他俩，最终为自己勇敢走到一起，甜蜜
开始是结束的开始，相遇是为离别而相遇，最稳定的关系是我们再无关系。那许多感情淡了就结婚的couple，不知是侮辱了爱情，还是侮辱了婚姻。前面所有的刻意都过了，最后那段挥手，明知，但是，还是破防了。坂元裕二，好会。
前半段看得好开心又有点想哭，遇到和自己爱好想法都一样的人是什么心情呢？虽然也并不觉得非要这样才能在一起，不过想想，我已经独自看了很多超级喜欢的书和电影好多年了。
好喜歡「這是我們相遇的門票」這個說法。文青談戀愛是這樣的，文青的愛情長跑結局可能也是這樣的。但就不要和文青談戀愛了嗎？不是的。其實也不是文不文青，是說太理想化的愛情劇本，都經不住社會化的過程，「進入社會就像泡澡」有的人很舒服，有的人死掉了，有的人就分開了。坂元裕二太會抓你心裡的癢了，那些細微得像空氣裡的灰塵的細節，你獨自體會了千百遍，以為無人知曉，被他寫出來、呈現出來的時候，你就像一隻喝醉的小鹿一樣到處亂撞那般興奮。
恋爱有保质期，但一起度过的时光不可替代，两个人的寂寞比一个人的寂寞更难以忍受，两个人的快乐也更难以忘怀。。与其说因为了解而分手，不如说本来就是不同性格和世界观的人，爱好和兴趣只是一时吸引，只有面临考验的时候才知道能否共度一生。
牯岭街
22岁的时候遇到你，我们不同的大学毕业到同一家公司上班，讲相似的方言，搭车去公司的偶遇，公司游船上惊讶的你也在这里，从不联系的你深夜短信给我的歌词，以及在公交车聊诗词不想结束，下车就近在站台旁的快餐厅坐下用餐巾纸写诗词。满眼闪着钻石星星的人。如果我们没有在一起过，会不会比现在好太多太多？至少你读过书还会和我分享，而我也可以把耳塞给你，即使在路上走着，也能聊音乐到忘记出行的目的。我们都长大了。也分手十年了。连自己都感受到自己老了。
后劲可真大啊。餐厅那一对和我们好像，看着他们想到我们，不禁破防。
我也想知道为什么我的邮箱里会塞进一户建的传单
在形似共鸣的幻象中开始的故事，因时过境迁与社会打磨而逐渐露出附庸风雅“打卡”文化的无力面相，最终瓦解；当然生活不免都有无谓的一面，只是这无谓还要叠加一再的失望与偏航才能摧毁故事，似乎连“无谓”也有些无谓。片子本身还是酸酸甜甜的普通爱情故事，不细想，看完笑笑过去就还好。
