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.
不是没有家人爱她，不是没有朋友爱她，也不是无拘无束四处漂泊的生活状态让她向往，而是心中挚爱消失于这个世界之后她的心无处安放，于是只好被迫上路。。苍凉，孤寂，倔强，无力，忧伤从公路的此端向远处飘散。。。赵婷把人物的内心状态描绘的很好，故事开头似乎就给了人答案，故事中间却又似乎给人一点悬疑，最终故事缘由揭开的时候，那种浓烈的伤感情绪充满了整个屏幕，让观众不禁深深陷入进去。
挺有味道，但如果你让我再看一遍...有些片段可以。石油小镇、重工业区，“产业升级”下也有人为规划的失策代价。视听语言很美国，而音乐特别华语流行歌，感觉套上《火柴天堂》就可以唱起来。“献给不得不上路的人”，我恨不得立刻狂奔到路上，三合老神。妹妹幽怨地说“我知道我们不如你在路上遇到的人有趣”。同住屋檐下和孤身独行都可能是“不得不”。一块顽石此时此刻此情此景顺势滚了那么一遭
轻剧情的电影，只是路上琐琐碎碎的事情，但是那种平静下的又自由又孤独的感觉能一下子把人攫住，是非常难得的观影体验
巴黎终于首映了。混合职业演员和非职业演员是一件很risky的事。Einaudi的fingerprint太重了，配音煽情能少一点也许更上一个层次？片子看到一半意识到，神经系统习惯/惯性才是人类最应该抗拒的？“所谓”底层的故事，无论在哪个国家，都需要更多。但拍好真的很不易。frances mcdormand演的好，没有她这个片是另外一个样子吧。所有人都很温暖的电影，很多都描述的很委婉，留给人思考的空间很大，戏剧化降到最低，导演的基调，👍🏻。
说难不难，但说简单却很难控制的一部电影，我觉得这个控制在于心无旁骛，导演也沉浸在这样的一段旅程中，好像有天然之力协助她展现了出来，自然且美好。对摄影控制得很好，对配乐的使用也很聪明，同时控制了意义这件事，不是为了有意义而有意义，麦克多蒙德的表演也很精彩，她就是维持自己，这一点和这个电影的拍法一样，就是keep，那句诗句里说“一切优美形象不免褪色”，但麦克多蒙德真正克制的表演达到了某种缓冲，她拿捏的很好，没有魅力四射的放松，也没有技艺精湛的紧绷，她就是演绎了一种上路，所有的东西都在前进或者后退，她也保持着自己和速度，哪怕是最后的那场哭戏，也只是微微的喘泣。一代山水诗人谢灵运曾有艰涩又经典的名句“孤客伤逝湍，徒旅苦奔峭”，大概就是我看到的这部电影中的羁心了。
在我看来，这是反公路片甚至是反好莱坞的公路片，它如一个圆环：外在的路线与内在的心理都是，永远绕不出去，无穷无尽不死不休——弱人物弧光甚至无人物弧光，因此愈加浪漫美妙的表述反而带来愈加深邃的绝望。路上的人们是拥有抛弃所持一切的豁达魄力？与此相反，他们上路，是因为无法放下自己一无所有之余的仅有。
赵婷真的不一样，她找到了属于自己独特的叙事方式，这种风格让人一瞬间感觉电影贴的现实世界特别近，下一瞬间又感觉电影早已击穿了现实世界，但细细回想两者又有一些暧昧存在，不近不远，她从《骑士》的尝试到现在的锋芒早已站稳了好莱坞，她不学习谁，她不继承谁，她就是她自己。
勇敢和真实的人总是上路。美国公路精神，在今天还如何可能？
1.哪一刻死去才會死而無憾呢?2.心遠地自偏。3.此詩不朽而你也將永恆不朽。4.沒有最終的告別就沒有分別。我們路上見。5.織女座1987年射過來的光，今天才到這裡
看开头以为Nomas上路是因为物质，越到后面越发现是因为精神，物质不断断舍离，精神却愈发沉重，他们的余生只能用回忆填满。碎镜头很多，没有一个明确的主线，厉害的是这些零零碎碎能形成一股很浓郁的、洒脱的、孤独的、怅然的情绪，赵婷确实有天分，麦克多蒙德的表演也非常细腻。延续了《骑士》的呼吸剪辑节奏和自然影像风格，漂亮的晨曦和晚霞。What's remembered, lives. See you down the road. 想想有点好笑，骂赵婷骂到电影撤档的粉红们错失了一部表现美国非光鲜面的作品（好吧，那些人也根本不会好好看电影
流浪、孤独、放逐，并不是通向幸福，走向乌托邦。就像哲学里的经典命题——自由意志真的存在吗？我们的生活不完全是自己的选择，也是环境和现实作用的结果。走入流浪、孤独和放逐的生活，无关是否自由，但要坚强面对，即便在别人看来很可怜，甚至像是命运里的小丑。
部分对谈像伪纪录片，部分镜头辅以配乐像MV风光大片，挺好的题材拍成这样我认为真是一手好牌乱打。金狮奖就这？当时豆瓣9分左右的开分就这？
还是寡淡了些，不如再看一遍《爱丽丝漫游城市》…
镜头扫过一望无际的荒野 无人欣赏的壮阔的晚霞，静谧的停留翅膀的蝴蝶，最后停留在一人一车的渺小的身影上，女主眺望远方，或者干脆什么也不眺望。片子没有什么浓烈的叙事意图，聚焦的更多是一种观看而不是表达，我们看她独自一人出发 看她经过形形色色的伙伴又再启程，最后回到一无所有的起点。她吹奏管乐，漂浮在清澈的瀑布下，悲喜都是自己的。啊，盛大又孤独。
当人类可以无性繁殖或者复制的时候，也就丢掉了人类最后的尊严。
流浪者之歌，听见了诗看见了光，经历过风霜雨露，无需太多感伤，也不需要抒情，懂得人自然会懂
虽不如期待，但整体还算喜欢。
感觉就像公路上的减速带，看这部片子，你不得不减速，握紧方向盘，小心驾驶，才能往前走。我也想与他们在路上见，可惜我还有责任在身。但愿有一天……
周末看了两遍。美国中西部，亚利桑那，内华达，新墨西哥，奇迹一样的地方，美不足以形容。
在 Wendy & Lucy 之外多了一个观测角度 物理锚点推移只是表象 内因和外由才是本核 在 Leave no trace 内层剥离一个人物 没有大银幕要死了 夜戏和晚霞 火苗和飘雪都白费了 啊啊啊啊 Sonnet 18 配合 Ludovico Einaudi 的旋律 大银幕归来直接升级 远比近五年的任何一部金狮要好看且真挚
