The ferociousness of love and the continuation of sin

Metaphors are dangerous. Love comes from a metaphor.
I have always admired the sharpness of Kundera's language. In "The Unbearable Lightness of Life", this is a sentence I like very much. It exposes some flirty and exaggerated faces of love. In the original scenery of love that seems to be high in the sky and the clouds are in harmony with each other, there are hideous betrayal and parting ambushes everywhere. Looking back at the beautiful metaphors that moved people's hearts, they all became understatement.
So, from the beginning, it was full of feelings of disaster like the shaking of the earth, and of course it would be more depressing to the difficult experience of life.
It is also about the theme of parting lovers in war. This film reminds me of Yingman and Ada in Cold Mountain Town, and Mara and Roy on the Blue Bridge. The love that calls for return while waiting hard is always cold in touch. The title of "Atonement" seems to be a metaphor for the endless pain and introspection of mankind behind that war.

Joe White’s films always make me feel that there is the aesthetic temperament of the poet Wordsworth by the lake. It's like paintings with rich colors. The vision is so fresh and beautiful, so under such a bright rhythm, we have that summer afternoon-the ceramic kettle falls into the pool, and the bees are humming in front of the window. . Belleny looked at the ambiguous men and women outside the window with surging emotions.
The back-to-back footage re-flashed her psychology from the perspective of her younger sister. Sunlight penetrated through the window, and the heat was strong and quiet, but the scene by the manor pond, like a bee sting, penetrated into the heart of this sensitive girl.
So it is not difficult to explain the true purpose of Belleini's lies that he was awake and hated on the other. It was a subtle chemical reaction of love and hatred. Before that, there was a related experiment-the content of the experiment has appeared countless times in today's TV soap operas, and she tested his love in a death-seeking way. meaning.
The dense aquatic plants at the bottom of the lotus pond entangled the girl's body. She watched the man swimming towards him, her smile faintly filled with joy. In the wild flowers on the shore, she chased an angry him, she actually naively thought that she had achieved her goal.
Love is deep and hate is true. Didn't Shakespeare also have a general Othello who strangled his wife.
Therefore, we believe that Belleny actually saw everything that night.
She became vicious because she tasted what is called jealousy.

Bellini was embarrassed. She can control the heroes and heroines in her novels and scripts who love each other but cannot control the real life. Those things and pictures that look unclean to her, such as the wet nakedness of her sister in front of Robbie, such as the letter that was taken by mistake, and Robbie nailing Cecilia to the shelf, it is like The obscure sexual appearance like the crucifixion of Jesus has all confirmed the "truth" in her imagination in a priori way-you must be a guilty man, and you must be punished.
Yes, I saw him, I saw him with my own eyes. Bellany answered over and over again.
The girl's feelings for Robbie, who had been so indifferent, became so hideous and terrifying in an instant. This is the beginning of love and the origin of sin.
That afternoon, everything happened in such a rush.

I undoubtedly like Cecilia, she returned a lewd letter with a true, life-long love. I believe that not all women have the agility to distinguish the true feelings in those nasty words, and not all women have the courage to break with the family as a "guilty" man. She is even more affectionate. If it weren't for that damn war, the reunion of him and Robbie after tomorrow would not be an unattainable longing.
The long lens on the beach carved out the majestic and pale Ukiyo-e, in the desperate and apocalyptic epic temperament, like a rose with a bloody smell about to wither in the sea breeze.
The Dunkirk retreat may be the most famous strategic shift in the history of human warfare. He saved the exhausted and exhausted soldiers on the European continent, but he did not have time to save a love that was struggling because of the war. The death facing each other across the sea, the pale dreams of lovers far away and out of reach, always make people heartache when thinking about it.
The most important thing is that Bellany's love for herself, for her sister and Robbie, never has any chance to be saved.

"I gave them the happiness."
Facing the camera, the old Bellany's voice trembled.
The passage of time still did not allow her to accumulate enough courage. Apart from compiling a beautiful passage to express her apologies, she still did not dare to walk under the orange wall of her sister's apartment during the war-torn days and say, "Saixi Leah, I'm sorry."

What happened in that afternoon made her life seem to be a long ritual to pray for forgiveness. She gave up the University of Cambridge. She chose the profession of a military nurse. The wounded soldiers made her hallucinate again and again. Later, she spent her life writing the novel "Atonement".
Indeed, for a kind person, sin is a continuation, and its entanglement in life is like a vine with stings. In desperation, we can only hope to use life to redeem a moment of peace of mind. For example, Raskolnikov, who killed the proprietress in Dostovsky's "Crime and Punishment", had the inextricable sense of guilt that made him compromise with lifelong suffering.
For Bellini, she has always been very serious about cleaning her past mistakes-in my opinion, she was forgiven at the moment she realized her sin. The Gospel of Luke says that if you regret, forgive. The scheming and ignorant evil of a 13-year-old girl can only be attributed to the ambiguity brought about by love itself, and there is no need to bear more guilt and no more punishment. In fact, it is the men and women who married casually after a few years of adultery, the executioners who killed a large number of children in the woods, and initiated the war that killed 90 million people around the world in a meat grinder-like war. War criminals.
It's just Bellany's introspection and redemption that let me see Baudelaire's so-called "flower of evil" blooming in human nature, which is the only way for human beings to save their own sins.

Spirit and flesh in love, hatred and punishment in sin. The sudden death after hundreds of thousands of turns of the story still illustrates the unchanging truth that there is no tragedy without destruction.
Whether it's the bright green dress that night, the head pin of the silver star falling on the door blanket; or the postcard from the seaside cottage at the end of the parting, and the red 19th bus that disappeared on the corner of the street-love, even if it can't escape the fate of life and death in the end , But it does not always appear repeatedly in a hideous face. The beauty lost in the past of love is always remembered for its majesty.
But no matter how appropriate the love is, it can't match the time and the torture of war. Perhaps the crew of Titanic would say that being together in heaven is a better ending than Rose and Jack being a hundred years old and staying in the cold bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. However, Watanabe Junichi's glass of cyanide infiltrated poison still made others sigh for the fate of the lovers who were frozen together in the ice and snow.
Just death and eternity, that is already another heavy and noble proposition in love.
