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.
合着拍了两部恐怖片但是终极梦想是拍这个对吧？救命，2022年了，我为什么要看一个15岁男孩在2002年写的自我代入同人？还两个小时！没有那么差，我相信会有人喜欢的，也很容易找到点吹（很容易产生一篇内含50张图的流量影评），但对我来说真的很折磨，毫无惊喜甚至后半程内心毫无波动，what a cringefest.
是死亡，那小黑所说就是对的
又一部沉迷于神话影像氛围而内容空洞乏味的形式之作，这类作品的现代文化价值几近于无。
跟“启示”中间大概隔了100个“贝奥武夫”，导演还是更擅长拍文艺恐怖片。妮可·基德曼的角色把我给整懵了，开始以为是王子复仇记，到后面居然是...孝庄秘史？？？
在当下，仍在努力拍电影。原始的、野性的、疯狂的
一个老故事，但是拍得真带感。我觉得比前作女巫和灯塔都强。
说实话这种欧美古装剧看多了就觉得食之无味弃之可惜，A大的身材还是很好的，全程看肌肉
视觉的登峰造极和文本的乏善可陈简直是极与极的交战，如果是游戏的话必然满星水准，但是我们真的还需要这样的电影吗？哈姆雷特的故事随时代变迁改良重述了千遍，但这版在艾格斯作者趣味和大众娱乐导向的拉锯之间走向了最原始最平庸的诗篇荒蛮，然而诗样的台词和狂暴的画面呼之欲出的史诗感依然奉欠。表象越声嘶力竭观感越如坐针毡。一个男孩被洗脑终生的复仇不过是偷窥母亲卧房钻回母亲子宫的俄狄浦斯搬演，孩子都能背诵几句的弗洛伊德以回溯原型故事恰恰也最保守的叙事与摄制真正回到了退守原点。乔特鲁德的形象从纯粹恶女到女巫再到为奴隶的母亲，看似进步但这种草率修正，落点还是弑亲礼赞的敷衍，甚至比莎剧原初的面目更不堪。对于北欧民俗的细节考据和神秘暗黑的图像迷恋，电影，尤其是此类定位为暴力神话爆米花的类型，实在不是其理想的输出媒介。
一镜到底的打戏是真的惊艳：浑身肌肉、淤泥、汗、血的Skarsgård。Eggers审美一如既往的好。比约克...一如既往神棍。3.8
北欧粗犷血腥王子复仇记，风景很美，血腥暴力镜头也有独特美感，安雅更是美到不行是我看本片最大的初衷和动力。但是因为稍微掺杂了一些神神叨叨的元素，以及主角Amleth某些谜之操作，然剧情慢慢往作死的方向发展。而且电影实在太长，明明能快速复仇，几次有机会复仇，偏不。回头想想，有点不爽。
a story about a bunch of muscular nordic dudes with heavy English accents angrily hacking each other to death ( due to the lack of a one-child policy ). I don't feel much for those dudes with questionable mental stability, but I feel sorry for the horse who got its head chopped off for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. R.I.P horse.
开头直到中间的摄影，调度等非常抓人，但随后进入了大量平庸过场般的段落，导演罗伯特艾格斯在自己擅长的神话与神秘主义氛围塑造与常规商业的类型元素之间难以权衡，直到结尾的剧情都略显套路，最终成为了这一部虽然足够与众不同，又难以在人们心中留下长久印象的《北欧人》
1柯南伯格还是那个柯南伯格 2谁能想到未来罪行里穿越了一个带资进组的戴妃？
太可惜没有办法在影院中真正/正确地体验这部片子，是绝对有五星潜力的，艾格斯是少数几位不在乎任何艺术妥协的导演之一，他讲的不是一个现代人眼中的历史故事，而是一个古老的世界中一个现在的故事，构建了一个真正的异世界。
受尽折磨 背负使命 血脉传承 每次看这类的题材都梦回权游
就说说 还有哪一对好莱坞明星既演过夫妻又演过母子的？
基本是北欧神话加上美国人对古代北欧的臆想，不尊重历史，毫无科学。。故事有结构，但没逻辑。
神话类题材无感，除了画面较美和暴力展示以外看得怨
本来是满心期待柯南伯格又会给影迷带来什么样的震撼人心的佳作。可是看完还是略显失望。主要是这次柯南伯格想要传达的关于“器官”这一概念性的命题实在有点模糊和虚幻。表达的意图偏抽象化，人物的行为举止偏意识流化，因此很难窥测其深意。倒是那对于身体切割的部分，会给人留下“难以忘却”的记忆，不过这也是柯南伯格一贯的视觉极端风格，看多了反而就不会那么渗人了。
Conan the Barbarian, Macbeth, Vinland Saga, Come and See, The Green Knight. 7/10, disappointed over all. 全片最大疑问，瓦尔基里为啥戴牙套？
