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.
所萌生的追求人人平等去王权的勇气。
吐槽1：关于故事，立意混乱，展现儒学在王权和西学之间的尴尬混杂着师生情强行催泪，兼顾两头，结果两头都没照顾好。那还不如抽象化思想冲突借助捕鱼这条线到达一种双向历练，（类似《闻香识女人》类型），换言之看似高深的政治线作用微薄
兹山鱼谱的意义，本身在于兹山，而非鱼谱。本以为著书立说是为了流芳百世，却不想其实是为了教化世人。有入世才能有出世，昌大已经走过一回了。故事其实更加向是生活流，但是顺畅不拧巴，感情也够真挚，但愿能多拿奖。这应该真的就是韩国电影今年最佳了。
若不能按照所学的来生活，就得按照自己的性格来活……
农民操作的是土地，官员操作的是农民（台词大意）。一语道尽皇权内涵。
李导的史剧/时代剧真是错不了。心中李导是可以把韩国商业电影拍的最’美’的导演，也是少有可以把黑白拍的如此有味道的导演。
读书到底是为了什么？认认真真写一本书、做实业也不错。
好遗憾啊，明明是很有潜力的题材，故事中有太多东西让我心软，前半部分看起来很“高级”，却被庸俗的音乐、闪回和蓝色露出了马脚，越到后面越仓促，可以说是持续让人失望。
拍得真好啊，韩国电影这几年真的令人刮目相看。不仅有属于自己的风格，拍有中华文化的电影都那么讲究和认真，真的值得中国电影反思啊。后半段官僚体制真的让人想到那句伤心秦汉经行处，宫阙万间都做了土。兴，百姓苦；亡，百姓苦。
国家的民主现代性进程这样一个宏大的主题，落到具体的细微个体身上来展开，非常具有感染力
四星半。难得一晚清闲，看了一遍。有些画面有意模仿六七十年代的武侠，显得颇雅致。故事里又融了一些轻松幽默的元素，也容易让人接受。导演最用力的地方，可能还是在师徒两人的矛盾冲突上，就我感触最深的地方，就是那句丁若铨所说的，没想到弟子还是走向了师父的反面啊！这里面有很多人与人之间的误解，但最后也没机会化解开了。还是很有张力的。另有一点题外的感想是，即便心中的理想世界是没有王，没有庶民区分的，但下意识地还是会去作出两班与贱民这样的判别。大概这些日常意识不到的区分才是需要仔细反思的吧。
对于在体制内看到黑暗，对人性失望，初心泯灭的描绘从来不会过时。在极端恶劣的生存环境中，还有平常百姓所熟知，但上流阶级无法体验的新鲜美味。西学和朱子并不冲突，佛儒和科技也不是完全对立的关系，它们可以是并肩而行的伙伴
在信仰不同的极端关系下，人们能因为知识和品德成为了亦师亦友的忘年交，两人之间的拌嘴从激烈到打趣，关系转变的方式很巧妙。
看之前就听说“这部电影本应由中国人先拍出来”，看完之后觉得此言非虚。从清末民初面临的巨大历史哀痛，到现在的中美之争，我们才是最应该拥有这种文化反省与思考的。
所以你现在学有所成，想要用所学去换取累累财富了么？
比起博物版的《编舟记》，
我其实觉得挺一般的，看的中间想到了《邮差》，不如。视点一开始是老丁，但不由自主的就变成了弟子。而且对于主题（意识形态？）的部分，导演也很含糊，不确定他想要传递的是什么（态度？思想？精神？）。
我知道我希望的那一天会来，但不是现在···从哥白尼到丁若铨，真理和真理的冲突从未停止···
民脂民膏，尔俸尔禄；御民牧民，不过敲骨吸髓……不想分杯羹！
班鳐走的路班鳐知道，黄雕鱼走的路黄雕鱼知道，为兹山的鱼作谱，探究鱼的道、而放弃在性理之学的框架中解释变化多端难以把握的人性，在黑暗中做一个闪闪发光的人是丁若镛选择的道。如果不能在生活中按照书本中学的道理生活，那只能按照自己的性子活下去，摘下官帽、回到海边的昌大也找到了自己的道。也许黑暗才能酝酿色彩和光亮，要不为何片尾那抹蓝色出现在小鸟身上时我们都雀跃了呢。
