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.
时隔多年，汉克斯老了，荒岛余生的排球变成了碎嘴自作主张的Ai机器人，唯一不变的是是那份孤独。
一个简单的故事却拍得挺戳人的。里面有一个桥段真的有扎到我，就是本来小狗有名字叫Goodyear，但是芬奇说因为只有他们俩在，所以有没有名字没关系，真的是一种极致的孤独了。联想起来牛老师的二姑妈，二姑夫去世后她就养了猫，猫也没有名字，一下就破防了。
好简单却感人的故事。三个主角之间原本空白的空间一点点地被描画上连接线，越来越浓越来越浓，最后被紧紧绑在一起。剧本好棒，大概是机器管家之后最感人的了。
谁能顶得住机器人的温情啊。
很《辐射》，是新世代语义下的《老人与海》、《鲁滨逊漂流记》，也是汤姆汉克斯全新演绎的《荒岛求生》、《阿甘正传》。机器人的学习曲线很丝滑细腻，细节质感用心。探讨了脆弱渺小的人类，即使脱离了肉体的枷锁，以理论上永生的机器形式存在也难逃孤独的命运。唯一的遗憾是始终没有交待Jeff的能源来源问题。
D— / 狠好，2021年了还在努力为豆瓣top250输送后备电影。
They made a robot to care lives. We made politics to kill.
What would Finch do? He'd feed the dog. I'm gonna feed the dog.
讨厌奴役任何智慧生命形式……一部末世片哭了两次，一次是杜威牺牲，还有一次是杰夫像个无助的孩子一样把头靠在将死的芬奇胸口无声的哭泣。最让我难受的是杰夫胸口的开罐器，那个难看的空洞……他诞生的全部意义——照顾好这条狗。人类还是自私而残忍！灭绝吧！！谢谢！k9广告打的可以！要涨价也麻烦只涨价这个罐头吧！谢谢
太浪漫了，故事完整，how to build relationship with robot and dog? Be patient and trust. The same way with human being
从人机互动，造物主与造物的相对关系切入，通过对信任的存在探讨，最后落脚到亲情为根节的人情暖意。大脑是指令的奴仆，人的意志在指间。你的遗志我替你完成。还是永远爱这类经典叙事。
3、故事的背景是末日时代，世界和人性几乎都崩塌了。然而，在汉克斯、那只狗狗，还有那个机器人Jeff身上，我却再一次感受到人性的温暖，看到了未来世界的希望。
我是传奇➕超能查派 但是又不一样，还挺温情的。
荒岛余生+超能查派，把全人类最后的余光压力放在这一个人身上，戏可以加太多。
20220323，平平淡淡的片子好像没有高潮，如同表面平静的大海，实际蕴藏巨大的能量。独自一人静静看片，独自体验主人公芬奇害怕孤独的感觉。
3.5 一个机器人的使命（想起来late late show的机器人也叫Geoff）
谁能顶得住机器人的温情啊。
6.5分。
这个片子也太好看了吧！！！机器人可爱得要死。
这首首尾呼应的歌真是让人流泪。Bye bye miss American pie
