Very British film.
British face, British accent, British landscape, British temperament.
Keira Knightley&James McAvoy, the male and female protagonists are the latest loves. James' blue eyes are enough to make up for his lack of 170 height; Keira's slightly loaded back and hard-lined profile have a charming temperament.
However, what impressed me was the gloomy blue eyes of 13-year-old Briony.
The play of this little actor is indeed wonderful. Self-conceit, ignorance, restlessness, and early love, all behave thoroughly.
She tightened the clothes on her chest and asked: If I jump down, would you save me;
she endured tears but still tried her best to keep her voice steady: I... thank you... for saving... I... my life ...
She said with resentment and determination in her eyes: I saw it, I saw it with my own eyes, it was him.
Her tight body and nerves can be felt in all the bridges where she appears, and her delicate and sensitive nerves make her full of resistance and acceptance to the surrounding world. Therefore, she writes a drama, full of the desire for prying, irresistibly, curious about the world she doesn't understand, and then analyzes her self-righteously.
We have all had such a noisy past, and we seem to think that we have seen through the filth of the world. Or complaining that life is trivial and gloomy, so build a big love and hatred in the brain, and maybe gradually blur the boundary between reality and fantasy.
All of this, we will explain with our youthful spirit.
Therefore, the injury is inevitable after all.
The 18-year-old briony avoids the hospital girls every night and writes in the attic. She hopes that she can use words to increase her unspeakable courage and give her the courage to face the mistakes she has committed. In the afternoon when the sun was spreading, she and her female companion sorted out their equipment, and the casual words were indeed painful: "I have never been in love... I only have a crush on one person. When I was 10 or 11 years old...
The older actors of Briony are also my beloved. Pale hair, and calm eyes.
She said that she wanted to write a story without rhyme or modification;
she endured tears but calmly said in her voice that atonement and reunion were just her fantasy;
she bit her lip and then let go, trying to prevent the pain from leaking.
Her narration is an introduction to my tears. At that moment, I suddenly felt that Briony was the most sympathetic person in this story. We have all paid more or less for our youth and frivolousness, but only her price is the right to love for life.
Did she see who raped her cousin that night?
Actually it doesn't matter anymore. At the beginning, she identified that person as Robbie, and subconsciously, she just wanted to separate her sister and the one she loved.
She had only loved this one in her entire life.
The protagonists of the story are innocent, but because they are innocent, they are not as attractive as Briony.
But the first time I shed tears was when I heard Robbie’s letter to Cecillia:
Dearest Cecilia, the story can resume. The one I had been planning on that evening walk. I can become again the man who once crossed the surrey park at dusk, in my best suit, swaggering on the promise of life. The man who, with the clarity of passion, made love to you in the library. The story can resume. I will return. Find you, love you, marry you and live without shame.
The story can resume. I will return. Find you, love you , marry you and live without shame.
This sentence keeps appearing back and forth, and I burst into tears for a moment.
They have always wanted to be together, and never gave up the hope of being together. When Robbie was hiding in the dark ruined house, his nice voice kept
saying : Dearest Cecilia, dearest Cecilia, Cecilia... and finally saw them together, in a small and shabby room in London, the big bed showed signs of depressions. . Cecilia said faintly, "He slept too hard" with a sweet ending rhyme. When Robbie was mad, she would hold his head in his ear and say: come back, dear, come back to me.
Almost think this is it. Happy now.
However, I finally heard Briony say that they have never been together, all the atonement in the story is just her fiction, just to let her at least have a chance to stand in front of them in the virtual world and say: I'm really very.very sorry for the terrible things I did.
It felt like a collapse at that time.
It turns out that the time he and she spent together in their entire life was only a dozen minutes in the library, and the hands under the dining table were touching.
Thinking of the big scene of Dunkirk’s retreat, Robbie walked through the drunk soldiers, through the blazing fire, through a shot horse, through an abandoned carousel, people pretending to be blinded by happiness, and walked to In the fantasy of his mother's side, his eyes were shining with tears. He said, I want to go back to her, she is waiting for me.
However, in the end, they both died in different places when they were young.
Holding good expectations, but never saw each other after all.
Only Briony, who spent his entire life atonement for sin, said hesitantly with tears, I gave them... happiness.
A pair of people from one generation to another in their lives, love each other but not blind date.
