=================================
The interior of the house is in the style of rural home. Warm, yet still complex and luxurious. Every part of the manor, including meadows, fountains, and sunshine, appeared to be overly gorgeous and lavish, setting off Miss Brioni's 13-year-old face and figure to be dull and dull.
From a technical point of view, this can be regarded as a home close to nature. But Brioni’s interest is not only walking through the grass and swimming in the pond, but also reading and script writing, or, according to her sister Cecilia, imagination.
She ran into, or rather, traced the relationship between her sister and the housekeeper's son Robbie. She privately opened Robbie's explicit love letter and faced the scene of the two physically tangled in the study. She was panicked and embarrassed, her big eyes filled with tears, and she "imagined" Robbie as a pervert who violated her sister.
Then, when she witnessed the cheating of the other two at home, she did not hesitate to "imagine" it as a scene where Robbie raped her cousin Laura.
She just needs to say with certainty: Yes, I saw it. With just one sentence, the dominoes were pushed down suddenly, rolling one after another, without stopping. Robbie was imprisoned, was forced to join the army, and left his hometown on the battlefield of World War II; his sister Cecilia left home angrily, waiting for her lover's return as a nurse in a military hospital. Then, Brioni grew up and realized that what she had done was "what consequences did she do", especially when she discovered that her underage cousin Laura and her real affair-this was originally a total affair. , And has nothing to do with rape-when a wealthy businessman who made a fortune into the country was married, she tried to compensate Cecilia and Robbie who were on the opposite side of each other. Contrary to expectations, Robbie died of sepsis on the last day of the Dunkirk retreat and failed to return to his homeland; Cecilia died in a water pipe explosion while taking refuge underground.
Brioni eventually became a writer. Her collection of mountains is an autobiographical novel. The time, characters, and location are all based on facts, but at the end it arranges for the reunion of her sister and Robbie. "In my book, they should live a life they didn't have when they were alive." She called this "kindness" and "atonement."

This story is not new, but it is still creepy. Yes, I put quotation marks in the "imagination" of Brioni above. Although the introductions of n films emphasized the heroine's innocence at the time, the narrative of the film shows that she is always sober and deliberate. She was mixed with obvious excitement in the panic and embarrassment of breaking into the adult world. Robbie, who is tall, handsome and gentle, is actually Brioni's crush-13 years old is not young, he is old enough. Since she couldn't get this man, she took full advantage of her age and ruined this man completely willfully and unrestrained in her own impulse in a group of innocence.
Don't underestimate a child's IQ, and don't underestimate a child's evil thoughts.
Brioni used a word to completely change the fate of the two people. She failed to save even one or two throughout her life. That book, the virtual reunion, even if it showed her courage to introspect, it didn't help at all.
When we want to destroy something, how powerful is it; but when we want to maintain something, it is extremely incompetent.

The most remarkable thing about this film is its narrative structure, the interlacing of flashbacks from multiple perspectives, and the ubiquitous background sound of typewriters, even if it is slightly overworked, it still establishes a deep tone and atmosphere. The story is full of Hollywood-style innocence, such as Brioni's extremely lack of transition, and the sudden nun-like growth and self-discipline, such as Cecilia's rock-solid trust in Robbie without a reason and the two Love that lasts till death. Most of the characters are also very typical. Brioni's pale, flat chest, thin lips, and white gauze skirt are just to make up a sensitive and neurotic girl. There is also Robbie, a handsome guy with a low birth but academic excellence and taste, with blushing hair. Obiaki likes Laura, who is full of sensuality in pink, and a wealthy dandy businessman with a famous brand and a mustache, all make people feel uncreative as if they are reunited. The only slight exception is Cecilia. Keira Knightley gave up the adult Brioni and did not act. Choosing this character is still a bit discerning. This rich lady is so skinny and she wears a close-fitting and backless green silk evening gown, showing her abrupt beauty. She is lascivious and loyal, mean and forgiving, perverse and persevering, constituting tension throughout.
