The film opens with a narrated disclaimer over footage of an opening coffin. The narrator explains that the film's climax is so terrifying that it may kill the viewer, and reassures the audience that if they die of fright while watching the film, they will receive a free burial service, and it closes on the casket which has a card inside reading "Reserved for You."[1]
Newlyweds Jenni (Peggy Webber) and Eric (John Hudson) move into Eric's palatial country home. Jenni is Eric's second wife; his first wife Marion died when she accidentally slipped and hit her head on the edge of a decorative pond on the estate. At the home they meet Eric's friends, the Reverend Snow (Russ Conway) and his wife (Toni Johnson), as well as Mickey (Alex Nicol), the developmentally disabled gardener. Eric privately mentions to the Snows that Jenni spent time in an asylum following the sudden death of both her parents, and Mrs. Snow reveals that Jenni is very wealthy.
Jenni is disturbed both by Mickey's belief that Marion's ghost wanders the estate and by Marion's self-portrait inside the house, which Jenni believes resembles her mother. When she begins to hear unexplained screaming noises and see skulls around her house, she believes that Marion is haunting her. Though Eric speculates to Jenni that Mickey, who was a childhood friend of Marion and thus dislikes Jenni, may be behind the trickery, Jenni worries that she is going insane. Eric then suggests to remove Marion's self-portrait from the home. Eric and Jenni take the painting outside and burn it. While they clean up the remains of the painting, a skull emerges from the ashes. While Jenni panics at the sight of the skull, Eric denies that the skull is there. Jenni faints and Eric withdraws the skull and hides it, revealing that he was responsible for the trickery all along in an effort to get hold of her wealth.
Believing she has finally lost her sanity, Jenni resolves to be committed. She tells Eric that the entire property will be meticulously searched for the skull as a last resort. Before Eric can retrieve it, Mickey secretly steals the skull and brings it to the Reverend, revealing Eric's plans. That night, Eric prepares to murder Jenni and stage it as a suicide. Jenni sees Marion's ghost in Mickey's greenhouse and flees back to the house. When she enters, Eric begins throttling her. The ghost then appears and chases Eric outside and about the property; it finally corners and attacks him, drowning him in the decorative pond.
After Jenni regains consciousness, the Snows arrive. Mrs. Snow comforts a hysterical Jenni and the Reverend discovers Eric's body in the pond. Some undisclosed time later, Jenni and the Snows depart from the house. Reverend Snow declares whether or not Marion's death was an accident will remain a mystery.
终于有人接住了示威者扔来的鸡蛋，替我圆梦了！
近年来编过的最难的稿子里，一个个人名忽然都活了过来，活在了最爱的编剧写的、导的电影里。
台词这么密，哦，果然是他编的。整个编剧既有节奏感，又有很多细节，效率高，感情传递和人物塑造也都很成功，词也很厉害，确实很强。演员也很出彩。每次看这种高水平的美国片，心里都很舒服，也比较放松。因为很多不成熟的电影，总是这样那样的问题，甚至一些艺术片，也由于作者个性太强，造成观感稍微有些累。看完这部，我甚至想多找一些历史的书籍看，觉得历史越来越好玩。七君子感觉主观性很强，由于片长限制，也不可能把更多的全貌表现出来，但非常精彩。
热评给我看笑了。无可挑剔的台词被说成匠气，音乐一般带着激情又优美律动的剪辑被说成凌乱，只能说这种观众配不上Sorkin。单单是Dave在法庭上无意识打了警察然后不停道歉就值得本信徒再看100遍。
“Do you have contempt for your government? (你是否蔑视你的政府)” - "It's nothing compared to the contempt my government has for me.(与我的政府对我的蔑视相比, 我的蔑视不值一提)”
密不透风，繁杂错综，却清晰。看完这样的电影站起来，有种很过瘾的感觉。虽然不清楚是理想主义又高扬了一把，还是理想主义又碎了一地。从比重上说，背景交待仓促了些，整个故事（各路人马）像是只为匆匆奔向那个法庭、那场冗长的审判。
“当手无寸铁的人连抗议都不行的时候…就只有：
或许是因为版本的不同，或许是因为那个特殊时期，那时候的感受更加设身处地一些，看到危机时候的互帮互助，以至于那时哭的很厉害。9.11二十年之际，没有谁会忘记那次悲痛，对于整个人类来说，都是一次巨大的反思。rock小镇是那样的开放，包容，I am islander！！！那些乘客，在危机面前，是那样的从容与乐观。机长姐姐的“me and sky”依然是全场的聚焦点。
我们不可以抗争任何事，不可以公开发表任何立场和言论，坚决打压到底。
疫情看真的太应景了。黑暗中才更能看到善意的光。太温暖了。
绵密台词搭建起了整个故事脉络以及人物性格，庭审戏的针锋相对，场外的虚实暴乱混剪，索金用层层递进的张力诠释了历史上的这次冲突事件，并且在雷德梅恩念出越战牺牲名单的那一刻达到高潮。
发生在那个万恶的美国？
一切的不公，至少还可以说出来。另外，美国警察的所作所为，看来和政体的意志是一致的。
终于看了。我感觉比那个《聚焦》要差一点。当然啦，很工整，值得一看，不会觉得无聊。是我比较挑剔啦，我还是觉得有那么一两处有些煽情了，就是靠音乐推上去的……里面那个律师，是头号玩家里的游戏设计者，我一直喜欢他说话的感觉，是唯一一个感觉带着痰、但丝毫不觉得恶心反而让我感觉可信赖的老者的声音。里面的好几个主演都是熟面孔了，都是喜欢的演员。很好的观影体验。
历史上没有哪一次的所谓正义的群体维权事件不会上升为流血和暴力，只能概括为四个字：乌合之众。
4.5 给剧本跪了，给演员跪了。🇨🇳这辈子下辈子再下辈子都不会有这种电影，哦当然，也并不需要。
相比波兰斯基的我控诉，这片通篇热血直接的反映双方冲突的不可调和，电影很直接很热血，但细细想起来可以发现，通篇完全站在抗议者的一面，编剧或者导演左的十分彻底，所以究竟这是不是真实的历史，所以是一个纪录片还是一个演绎片，才真正决定这个电影的高度
太好听了！不过音乐剧还是要看现场的！荧幕上真的差太多
好喜欢！百老汇实力真牛
艾伦·索金又一部精彩的庭审故事，开场第一次庭审就张力十足，且勾勒出几个主要角色的性格，确实厉害。整部电影核心都集中在庭审，紧张、激烈、热血。最后的结案陈词太燃了。
