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.
姑且以为这是一个关乎回忆的电影，普通的一生处理起来很清淡。后来的奔跑似乎要把时间抓向自己一边，再怎么努力也回不去了。一直奔跑，也只是不断向前而已。想停下，想回去，不想长大，于是在这个过程慢慢变老。
导演真的一直在夸男主的演员森山的演技，
因为是回忆所以整个感情过程都透露着伤感，很不喜欢这种支离破碎感，整个感情都被回忆给感伤到了。我们的万能女配居然演女主了～不过看到最后最真挚的感情居然是那个男胖胖
回忆总是闪着光的，当不经意间的时间流逝得超乎想象的时候，那一个按下暂停的能让我们回头喘口气并且随着记忆翻滚的瞬间，依旧还是会将我们这些“无法成为大人的”的大人泪流满面。
4/5，这片子看的人很感慨，森山未来的状态其实拿捏的很准啊～～～
我最终变成了喜欢的人的样子，而我喜欢的人在我身上留下山川后，过上了普通的生活
倒叙让许多细节变得很妙。倒叙的跨度一开始很大，然后变小，以前的日子总是很长。每一个配角也都很饱满。
日本的爱情片总是讲这普通人的平凡故事，讲着我们是如何从有着凌云志的小松委身成一丛一簇一株小灌木的过程。片子用了倒叙的方式让故事更扎心了些。。。
「明明大家都慢慢长大，就只有我们保持不变 重点不是去哪，而是和谁一起去 你的身体也充满了尚未成佛的词语 真的很普通」全片最喜欢坐车去旅行的那段。还有，伊藤沙莉真的被小看了，希望有一天她能拿大奖。
“如果我过了非常棒的一天，我也想一直被困在那一天。”光辉璀璨的青春时光，因为太年轻，人生的困顿与艰难还没有将希望磨灭，心中还有光，眼睛还能够清澈的看向世界，也正因为太过于耀眼，以至于此后的时光黯淡成灰。嘲笑别人太过于普通的青春，与时光过尽后终于变成普通的现在，中间包含着记忆中永不变老的年少恋人和并不想要长大的自己。
自恋自怜的典型男性视角，失去的初恋充满灵性的弧光，但实际上不过是一个男主角用以哀悼的工具人。外在温柔内心冷漠，自私又无能的男主角，与被过度文学化的初恋形象，整部电影好做作啊……
感觉是那种在三十岁生日当天，可以晒着太阳闲闲看下去的电影。真的……很普通，但那也没关系，因为我们都无法成为大人。 摘录台词：这世界上有80%的人都是垃圾，剩下20%是什么？人渣。 我在高兴时，会觉得很难过。
冲着导演有这个想法、这份心，也该给五星。因为这本身就已经非常难得了。
大家都成为了大人 只有我保持不变 所以这就是错误的吗？
冲着导演有这个想法、这份心，也该给五星。因为这本身就已经非常难得了。
是不是有点太文艺了?
倒叙蛮特别的。
好普通的小故事，也许我没有感同身受吧。生活都是一地鸡毛，被磨砺过后，很难被差不多的小事所感动了。日影女主都好敬业，牛。
挺好，没有生离死别，只有聚聚散散，平淡中有冲动。看着看着，莫名其妙，想起李安的《冰风暴》。
我喜欢“成佛的文字”的台词
