Fictional How to Redeem Life
Ian McEwan is one of the most famous writers in the UK today. He defeated many powerful writers with "Amsterdam" in 1998 and won the enviable Booker Prize, Peter Char’s Si called him "a very effective writer in the world of English fiction of our time in story weaving and style building", and the British literary expert David Malcolm quoted in his book "Understanding Ian McEwan" In the words of Kiernan Ryan, McEwan’s “black depression constructed the style of his early works, his cold fascination with the sins that will happen, and his understanding of the power of eros and the possibility of redemption”, and Mike Eun’s interest in film and television in the past ten years is "a watershed in his career, and his novels have begun to show a certain deformation." "Atonement" is McEwan's 2002 work and was nominated for the Booker Prize.
McEwan inherited a "great tradition" of creation. He likes to show his newly completed manuscripts to his wife. Indeed, every writer hopes that his beloved woman can be the first reader, Tostoyev Doesn't Sky treat his Anna the same way? Naturally, this "Atonement" made Annalena cry, which has never happened before. What touched Ian's strong wife? Ian said, "It must be something special." Kenneth Duran, a columnist film critic for the Los Angeles Times, commented on the novel in this way, "As an undoubted and profoundly moving work, "Atonement" is contemporary One of the most touching love stories, it is a powerful meditation on the fictional power of destruction and creation, separation and healing."
After three months of hard work, the film "Atonement", invested by Working Title, finally premiered in the UK in September. Kenneth Duran said, "Atonement is the kind of novel that doesn't appear frequently, and even if it is, it is rarely converted into images powerfully and faithfully." So it is like a movie adapted from many famous books in film history. The controversy is destined to continue before it is born. This controversy is based on how a creator should structure the delicate balance between literature and film, such as Rohmer’s literary film, or publicizing the original work like "Old Nowhere". The understanding and innovation of film language, and the mediocre "Love in the Time of Cholera" released in October undoubtedly witnessed Susan Sontag’s doubts about the film adaptation in "From Novel to Movie", "It seems that the film’s The essence is to abridge, dilute, and simplify the excellent original novels." The controversy of "Atonement" is that in 2007, which has maximized the vitality of world movies since 1994, "Old Nowhere" and "Blood Color" embody the new aesthetics of movies. What does it mean for "Coming Soon" to lose to "Atonement" at the Golden Globes?
"Atonement" tells the story of Brioni's life-long confession for breaking up the happiness of sister Cecilia and servant Robbie because of a love she couldn't understand when she was 13 years old. It should be said that most mainstream media in the United States hold a fairly positive evaluation of the film. This evaluation seems to have acquired a mainstream posture as the film has won some major awards. JR Jones’s words are quite representative," In terms of psychological precision, "Atonement" is a myth about love and betrayal. "Indeed, its exquisite narrative shows the creator's precise grasp of the social details and emotional insights of the characters, from photography, setting, and script. In terms of performance and directing techniques, each part is radiant, as if it is directly inherited from the characteristics of John Updike’s critical novel "Atonement": "beautiful and majestic", but whether all components are perfect, it is Can it be a guarantee of excellent machine performance? Put this question in front of "Old Nowhere", the answer is obvious.
"Old Nowhere" is also adapted from the famous novel (the novel won a Pulitzer Prize), with rich details, as well as meticulous photography, performances, scripts, etc., but its uniqueness obviously comes from the director's Coen brothers' experience of traditional genres. Accurate understanding, and on this basis, established a perfect set of rules for anti-genre films. In other words, "Old Nowhere" is far superior to "Atonement" in its contribution to film language, and the advantages of the latter depend on Based on solid stories and thought-provoking themes, the stories and themes are provided by the original novel, not by the talent of the film creator. At this point, FR Leavis is not outdated at all. The great British critic who travelled across the British Isles said that Joseph Conrad’s novel "Salvation" is "an Oscar-style work". The author "demonstrated a scene of conflict between love and honor in a solemn tone. The slow and painstakingly managed magnificence is more intended to be awe-inspiring rather than exciting." It sounds like it is. Describes "Atonement" and another "British Patient", but some people may think that because the director of "Cold Mountain" lacks sufficient interest in modern psychology, it will inevitably lead to the "British Patient" in "love, war, pain and betrayal". "The macro and micro themes are not as good as Joe White’s second work. There are several important awards, especially the Golden Globe Awards. The director of TV shows looks promising, but Ira Taylor seems There is disagreement. The chief writer of "Village Voice" said that Joe White's debut novel "Pride and Prejudice" two years ago simply ruined Jane Austen, and now he once again used his gorgeous colored pen to unruly publicize and magnify McEye. Eun’s most delicate and forbearing portrayal of the character’s psychology, "Whit calls where McEwan’s secret words are. In an opera-like grand voice created by the rhythm of a typewriter and the roar of war, McEwan is profound and inspiring. The creepy theme—how fictionalized how to redeem life—was thrown off the road by White."
Ira Taylor may be a bit mean to Joe White. In fact, in some respects, the movie is indeed beyond the reach of the novel. We see the war part of the movie, namely Robbie's participation in the British and French and German in Dunkirk. The war, it depicts the physical and mental trauma of war. A quarter-and-a-half long shot. As Robbie walks on the nightmare-like beach, we hear the neighing of horses and the sound of gunshots. Sad music, seeing the fallen horse being shot, the paper flying in the sky, the wounded soldiers, the old, the women and the helpless children, and seeing people singing the yearning for peace: "Let everything calm down and keep the war away. Let peace pass through earthquakes, winds and fires..." If the movie has ever been better than the novel, it is also that it is "more vivid than any novel in capturing the scars of war." The war part emphasizes two kinds of art. The form is fundamentally different. "The best friend of the novelist is a static character, while the best friend of the filmmaker shows its vitality in the dynamic." It
should be said at the end. The elderly Brioni is a writer who has published 21 novels. Regarding the situation in which she apologized to Cecilia and Robbie in June 1940, we learned that it was her fictional and fictional story in Atonement. Created, "In fact, none of this can happen," she made her last confession in a film on TV, "because Robbie died on June 1, 1940, the day of Dunkirk’s retreat. Sepsis, and I never got my sister’s forgiveness, because she died on October 15, 1940." "Atonement" is her 21st work, but it is actually the first, it runs through Brioni His life becomes a kind of questioning: How does fiction redeem life? With a novel ending, the film pushes this question to a position of ultimate torture, but its uniqueness and significance should belong to the real creator of the work, McEwan, not Joe White. It was McEwan who let us know. "Humanistic care" does have its ethical value, "but what kind of hope and satisfaction can my readers get from such an ending? So in life, I want Robbie and Cecilia To get the happiness they longed for but failed to get is not escape or weakness, but a kind of human care. I gave them happiness."
