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.

逃げ場もない人たちはどうする？where are they come from？（视点）
6/10，有些无聊的家庭关系电影，除了一些自然风光外没有感受到新西兰的特色。
“我想陪你通宵去等首班车，我想和你生活下去”，国内导演来好好学学纯爱绝症电影该怎么拍，这已经是日影最差的模版了。
kenken是不是角色类型太固定了，梦回裙子（明明很适合元气小狗狗 杰努努力
叙事方式独特巧妙，剧情很顺畅，层层递进，中间穿插的无厘头也很日式，基调相对轻松但是主题却略带悲观。男主小林真觉得这个世界上没有人在乎他的感受于是便觉得活着没有意义，实际上并不是没有人爱他，只是他忽略了所有人对他的爱。死神让小林真以第三者的视角重新认识了他周围的人也重新审视了自己，也让他更明白活着的意义。
片如其名地土，古早死人纯爱套路。情节铺陈过长，配角塑造明显强于主角，若月佑美的妆造十分清丽。
私心因为Rampling多给一星 老奶奶年轻时候也是超级潇洒
酷奶奶。大多数人喜欢日落，而她喜欢日出，所以她选择在日出之时有尊严的死去

深川荣洋《我的樱花恋人》2022
看到最后半小时:奶奶跟孙子坦白弄坏腿跟他弄坏车一样只是因为她想引起家人关注，三代人有着三代人各自的烦恼与经历，每个人做决定的时候也许或多或少会忽略掉身边人的感受，沟通是多么重要，无论什么年龄都会渴望家庭的温暖，可也不排除像我这样觉得安于现状是最舒服的，最后一程哪需要什么固定模式，生不择日，死亦如此
虽然情节还是比较老套的，但好在故事线算完整的。一步一步推进，一步一步自我救赎，不过知道了却不表达还是有点渣的吧。
兰普林奶奶同时演了“一切顺利”和“酒鬼奶奶”，一切顺利里他的同性恋丈夫安乐死，酒鬼奶奶里自己有尊严的死去…意味深长啊，一个人决定自己生死，活出了真正的尊严和自由
七分吧。男女主角少年感真好。人生是一场漫长的寄宿生活。珍惜当前的一切。可以看。
这是我见过最生猛的奶奶：满嘴脏话、怒怼神父、杯子扔孙子、曾用刀扔儿子，两周两箱松子酒兑水喝、一言不和就给人一拐子、指导孙子的着装调侃他没有女人、每次她拿下垂的眼睑看着任何人的时候我都能想象出年轻时的她是多么独立和优秀。
很完整的故事 画面很漂亮 原来祖孙的故事内核东西方都差不多 只是让人难过的是最后都要分别
女主的状态已经是最理想的得绝症的人的状态了。
