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.
怎么说呢…华纳高层评价Amber的那句话可以完美用在刘浩存身上：That's what makes a movie star a movie star...
小岛上的赛车，以为是摩托版的头文字D。越往后人物越散越没主心骨，这再以往的韩导影片中并不常见。回到最早的话题，我们的市场，对于导演的要求是否太过低了？
故事真是莫名其妙，这个电影其实可以不存在，给摩托车特技一星吧。全片的含腾量和预告片一样——也就那点儿了，冲着沈腾进电影院的观众应该会觉得是诈骗。而冲着春节看场电影放松的观众看完又会觉得太晦气——飞驰是，四海也是，谁喜欢在大年初一看出车祸死人的故事呢？不但出车祸死人，还有跳海死人呢……
其次是整部电影对于气氛的营造：南澳流动的海水、广州流动的霓虹，突然起雾的海面上驶来的大船和《后会无期》里升空的火箭一样，是一根刺。
看到住酒店的那块很有感触，那种苦甜苦甜的恋爱和懵懂。还有这个故事，巧合下的必然悲剧，换一种呈现形式
华语电影导演最要命的通病就是对个人经历敝帚自珍式的重复表达，除了自我感动以外毫无意义 在这点上从前的赵薇是 现在的韩寒也是 当然了 说到底可能就是才华不够 水平不足；而四海更可怕的是能匪夷所思地扬短避长 一部电影把所有演员的缺陷暴露无遗 沈腾不好笑 刘昊然又土又拧巴 还有这个把清纯当卖点的刘浩存 在片子里上一秒还在假笑 但是仿佛下一秒就要捅你一刀 怎么讲呢 韩寒已经沦为十几年前他最不屑的郭敬明 然而郭敬明拍电影 审美不知道比他要高到哪去了。
额。。可以说除了搞笑一无是处是吧。。。这剧情真叫个扯淡啊= =排成个纯粹的搞笑片子不好嘛？？玩什么小清新啊！
不过热评有一点说的很对，这部电影的割裂感十足，如同一盘散沙，故事的主线不明不白，韩寒想表达的东西也隐晦干涩，在文艺片与商业片中反复横跳，诞生了这么一部畸形的产物。
1.几个幽默的点是否和全片氛围不太契合？2.影片前段，床上有本书，欧亨利的《麦琪的礼物》，预示了结尾。3.刘昊然的小胡子，致敬了《从海底出击》中的胡子自然生长。
憋在家里打开四海，好像感觉不一样了，四海像是成人童话，带着我做了一场梦。
因为人对抗不了巨型Matrix。
虽然我一直偏爱韩寒 但这部片子的风格确实稍显混乱了：喜剧 动作 文艺……反复横跳 两个主演的演技也略显尴尬 台词矫情 剧情推动较为生硬（沈腾的那个角色除了提供笑点外还有什么作用呢？？？）
无病呻吟的青春伤痛文学……
这部电影有意义，但是不算太多，这就像是韩寒给机车的一封情书
做好了会怎么样呢？
Only Fools Rush in，这英文名起得太艺术了。
飞越珠江车手 尹建豪 如果我是韩寒就把这几个字打在演员表最上面
山雀让我惊喜 雷光夏让我惊喜 这配乐简直卡在我心里
很神奇，一般来说倍速播放都会对冲掉一些烂值，但这小东西还有些自己的节奏在，倍速也不行。当然，我还是很喜欢这些人物的结局的，很有教育意义。
还行 没那么差啊…只不过都死的结局有点强行…
