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.
一个惨痛背景下温馨的故事。遇到灾难所体现的那种人类互助的温暖。
剧本台词的编纂和剪辑转场，简直是朝着最佳嘻哈专辑而去的，太聪明太漂亮。常常是一句没说完的话，就转成下一个互文又不确切相关的场次。大时代背景下，胜负早已定下，七君子审判也成为好莱坞剧作里难得并没有最终反叛的意外故事，但不但没有灰暗的“反高潮”，而是成功制造出另一种虽败犹荣又振聋发聩的更高级高潮。以往总会警惕这种正反分明的剧情，觉得不够客观不够有着强大反派，可七君子的节奏和能量，让我忽略了这些平衡原则。去年10月中，在芝加哥电影节时，恰好赶上NFL的熊队比赛日和七君子街景拍摄日，新上任的电影电视剧局长还跟我得意地抱怨，"忙坏了但也乐坏了。“
9分，一气呵成，淋漓尽致。从审判开始到审判结束，每一次开庭都是一场腥风血雨。当一场法律审判沦为政治和个人利益的工具，就早已失去了其公正与尊严，更无法得到世人的尊敬。
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。
影片结束看到了导演瞬间“恍然大悟”，索金大大的快节奏及嘴炮永远不会让人失望。拿历史的事情来表现历史重演也是非常有讽刺意味了。
索金成为一流导演的最大障碍就是他是超一流编剧。
5.1 这部电影的台词直接可以出一本语录了。节奏很好，两个小时非常政治的电影却一点也不觉得让人着急。我本以为是一个悲壮的历史正剧，结果却是一出抓马，但是该讨论到的东西一点没有少，并且结尾真的很煽情！！！
就是喜欢这种调调的电影，老死头子法官太气人了，真想知道他的后续，想看他吃瘪
结合当下，就让国情不同来背这个锅好了。
“我从来没有因为我的思想而接受过审判”
索金的电影依旧有自己的问题，但是在这个法庭戏上用他的方法把情绪传达到最好；Eddie口音确实不明显，演的也很脱离他传统角色，尤其是那个镜头；拿奖的话，比较有戏的可能就是剧本和双男配，Eddie可能混个金球男主提名…
本可以拍得更磅礴一点结果就很无聊，明明只有两条时间线穿插，却依然混乱不该被安插的成分被加入超量，不如做一页ppt来得清晰。我都怀疑我和热评看的不是一部电影。
调度好厉害。虽然说主题立意远大于故事本身，但一个半小时我还是从头哭到尾。喜欢用圣经交流，加油站默哀，消防员妈妈和凌晨四点做德餐这几个片段！可能因为时长和故事基调，一些问题讨论得浅尝辄止。
2001.9.11五角大楼事件后，美国暂时关闭了领空，数百架正在飞往美国领土的飞机被迫降落在世界各个角落的机场，而在加拿大一个无人问津的小岛突然间变成了38架飞机、7000位来自世界各地飞往美国的旅客的避难所。它接纳了母亲、孩子、同性恋者、不同宗教、不同国籍、猫猫狗狗、甚至还有大猩猩。小镇倾其所有，帮助人们度过了风云莫测的五天。
有一些点如“酒吧的窗内是惬意奢靡的50年代，而窗外却是鲜血淋漓的60年代”这一幕着实引人深省。但表面看索金是在沉痛的批判，但他越沉痛就越说明他爱美国之深。

Davis 本人对索金的人物塑造持保留意见 缺点或者说窠臼还是有不少的 但让我个人兴奋的 reference 也是不少(别再吹 Eric Clapton 了 Ginger Baker 比他好到不知那里去了) 结尾的煽动性和喊话够直接 —— The Whole World Is Watching 但同时也要看到：Of course, there are very decent police officers in every state but the systemic racism in the police department just can’t be denied. 好歹是本方队友加一分鼓励吧 希望索金还是意识一下自己太白了的缺点 这种白化简直是可怜了的骑墙感
很精彩的法庭戏，剪辑十分紧凑，审判时刻的“简短”陈词，燃点和泪点并存，激动人心。科恩这个激进嬉皮士角色很是抢眼。
在今天这个日子刷这部，还有比我更（）的人吗？「Give me a moment, would you, friend? I have never been on trial for my thoughts before.」by Abbie Hoffman
第一次听到Me and the Sky 还没get全部歌词就哭了，从此记住了这部剧。这次看官摄，从第一首歌里we will not be killed那里就开始哭。疫情后去剧场看的人应该和我一样吧。也希望有一天中国也会有感动全世界的作品，我们经历的也应该让全世界记得。最后，希望巡演赶快重启吧！我要进剧场看！
