If an apology is useful, what else does the police do?

"This will be your eternal ordinance, because of all the sins of the Israelites, to make atonement for them once a year. So Aaron did as the Lord commanded Moses" (Leviticus 16:34). Therefore, the priest sincerely expressed repentance and confession to God, killing or consecrating appropriate animals often made sacrifices on the altar, first "atonement" for themselves, and then atonement for others. This is where the title "atonement" comes from.

The sinner admits that death is a punishment for sins, but what makes me seriously puzzled is that Brioni claims that she hopes to restore everything through her 21st novel in an attempt to achieve the purpose of atonement. Whose is the life that can be offered on the altar? That is undoubtedly not Robbie and Cecilia, these two lovers who are destined to be together only in the next life, and only have the not-so-rich passionate time in the study in their entire lives, and they have not reached the climax. Are they real victims, using the victim's life as a sacrifice? This joke is big.

That was certainly not the life of Brioni's coquettish sister and her chocolate tycoon husband. This couple who loves premarital sex ended up living quite well, held a decent wedding in a decent church, and proved to us the truth that chocolate really has an aphrodisiac effect.

As for Brioni herself? I only saw a gray-haired old woman making a painful expression at the live broadcast, telling her guilt. But isn't she not critically ill, isn't she suffering from mild senile amnesia—can somehow help her get rid of painful diseases? Yes, she is lonely, she is depressed, so what? Can she become a writer if she is not lonely or depressed? Do you think that you can become a writer only by the interest in writing from a young age and delusion plus a little hormone? Is Song Zude a writer? So I really don't think Brioni has lost anything.

So here, who owns the life sacrificed on the altar has become an open question. Well, this is not a problem in itself, because no one becomes a sacrifice, and sin has never been redeemed at all.

Any behavior that destroys the love of others is an unforgivable thing, no matter whether such behavior is under the banner of young ignorance, love, jealousy, or misunderstanding. In fact, we have also seen that Brioni has ample opportunities to save the situation to the greatest extent, just as she invented the encounter between three people reunited in Cecilia’s rental house, Robbie yelled at her. Said: "Does it take you five years from the age of thirteen to eighteen to understand the harm your lie brings to others?" It's a pity that she has never done this. She leisurely spent the remaining 59 years to publish 20 works, and then used the final book to express her confession. This jumping narrative is like that long shot depicting the mighty Dunkirk retreat, which makes me feel really not very clever.

It is worth mentioning that the 13-year-old actor Siose Ronan, who played the role of childhood Brioni, encountered the 1935 version of the pornographic photos in the study, his eyes showed the complex psychological activities to the fullest. Just like the interludes and flashbacks throughout the film, it is very good and powerful.

After all, this is the best feature film of the Golden Globes, so let's return to the movie. Classmate Brioni, you either don't do such nasty things, or you wake up early to change everything, or you stay silent for a lifetime, or you just die. When you find that everything is too late, and you have to bite the bullet and publish such a novel that is not embarrassing or embarrassing, it really makes people feel that there is no sincerity at all.

This is a tragic and fruitless love, and you shouldn't use it as a subject matter to write an old memoir. You are all seventy-seven years old. At this time, if an apology is useful, what else do you have to do with the police?
