In fact, I should have guessed that " No Country for Old Men" and "Blood and Black" will achieve good results
and "Atonement", which I have always been optimistic about, has seven nominations, but in the end only won the best soundtrack award
a little disappointed, a little disappointed, but not discouraged
should be a sentence, not the army is too weak, but the enemy is too strong
Speaking of "Atonement", which is really called coincidental
seems that Taking "Pride and Prejudice" and "Becoming Jane" as the introduction and foreshadowing
, these three films are inextricably linked.
Today, I will only talk about "Atonement". Regarding the other two films, I will find an opportunity to put the text together. on the one yard
when the know "atonement," the film, has been skeptical attitude With
the media constantly praise coming, even threatened most likely nominated for best picture Oscar
I know little of the original, but added that that the 2007 has been hailed as the most beautiful scene in the movie scene
the night sky under silence, Keira dressed in flowing green skirt, stand by the pond, lonely and helpless look
picture simple yet stunning four soft, stirring
and then look up some stills And the poster, I suddenly remembered that the
style of "Pride and Prejudice" is so close, as I thought, it was the same director,
no wonder Joe Wright chose Kayla, who he worked with, as the heroine, no matter the appearance. Temperament is still character, she has some similarities with Cecilia in the play,
and the male protagonist is James, the British gentleman who fascinated everyone in "Becoming Jane".
He is not tall or handsome, but from the bottom of his heart Exudes a unique charm, especially the eyes and smile
A film of rare male and female together with the director, is my favorite, it should of course carefully looked
after reading it, they really like, very well
if you ask me how to express how good this film in any place ?
That we had from "Atonement" nominated for seven Oscars talking about this
a Best Adapted Screenplay:
Ian. McEwan's best-selling novel of the same name, "Atonement", is nearly 200,000 words long.
In the face of such a huge amount of text, it is easier said than done to reduce it to a 2-hour movie script?
Almost half of the original length are used to describe the summer of 1935, in the event of the occurrence of the cause of the British countryside
and this part of the plot of the movie took about 48 minutes but
the sultry summer, a pair of lovers expressing childhood I did not know , conceited, imaginative, inner complex Briony
simmering passions, and lead to tragic change the fate of a fatal misunderstanding, almost perfectly summed up the core of the first part of the original
story appear smooth and natural, narrative tone more moderate, depending on the seriousness of the ups and downs relaxation degree, the characters also will show it
time to move forward followed four years later, the second part of northern France, the original 1940
large historical background of World War II, Dunkirk event
not long 28 In minutes, using multiple narrative techniques, he explained the changes in various aspects of Cecilia, Robbie and Briony after all these years. Robbie, who
went to the battlefield, and Cecilia, who was a nurse, still fell in love after reunion, and was about to come to London and wanted to atone for his sins. Briony
and these scenes are subtly integrated into Robbie's journey and the memories before the retreat.
The plot of this part is very compact and interlocking, laying a natural foreshadowing for the final ending.
The third part of the original novel is also in 1940. The 18-year-old Briony came to the hospital where Cecilia stayed in London.
This part of the story is entirely based on Briony's identity. It is the mature and taciturn man in front of him, but his heart is full of remorse and self-blame.
Compared with the previous two parts, this 30-minute adaptation of Briony is more delicate and rich, and the dialogue and scenes also add a lot to
the hospital where Briony works, the attic where Briony writes quietly, the church where the wedding is held, and Cecilia's apartment
. The complete storyline at the same time. It also made a sharp contrast between the 13-year-old Briony and the 18-year-old Briony, and gradually brought out the theme of redemption.
After 59 years, in 1999, it finally came to an end. Briony was 77 years old
. The ending of our whole story.
Author Briony's 21st novel "Atonement" comes out. It can be said that it is her first and last novel to
restore the whole truth of the matter with a sincere redemptive heart, and it is a double truth.
not just the truth of the year event, but also points, Robbie and Cecilia real ending in real life,
the whole movie's climax will calm the advent of contact approached several parts of the plot, some of the puzzling doubts suddenly relieved
this time I couldn't help but sigh. The time and length of each part of the adapted script are very well-organized. The structure is compact.
On the basis of respecting and being loyal to the original work, a lot of exquisite techniques are used to show the unexpected variables of the
original author. Ian. McEwan praised this highly and expressed his satisfaction that the adapted script and the
entire film not only did not become a commercial film as he had feared,
but also unexpectedly brought some small details from the original to the screen, reflecting the The artistic value that the novel wants to express
2. The best soundtrack:
Winning this Oscar is really well-deserved. Basically, there is no doubt that
as long as people who have watched "Atonement" carefully, they will be amazed by the soundtrack of this film
. made me obsessed with
typewriter voice seemed often used in the movie, a successful few and far between
"Atonement" in the opening, first by introducing some simple brisk piano, then that is very rhythmic sound of the typewriter
With the main melody of the piano and the ensemble of the violin, the ups and downs gradually rise to a climax.
Accompanied by the footsteps of the characters and the ups and downs of the plot, it stops abruptly with the instant "ding" of the typewriter
. the whole film is the most memorable period of the music
has a very deep appeal, always reveal the tension and unrest
there is still a must mention, in the eve of Dunkirk, Robbie Enron to lie down Waiting for the arrival of the dawn, the
melody sounded, and faintly came the singing of the soldiers chorus, the high and low, the
black and white love movie background, Robbie repeated the phrase "find you, love". you,marry you"
in his dream , standing among the flowers in the sun, recalling the night many years ago, Cecilia in green before he was arrested, whispered in his ear
"I LOVE YOU, COME BACK ,COME BACK TO ME..."
The soundtrack of this
piece , called COME BACK, really moved me to the two most classic lines in the whole film. With this soundtrack, it was vaguely sad at the same time. revealing the longing for the future and well-being of
short, carefully listening to all the music, you will find the main theme seems to be very similar to
most of the ensemble are violin and piano, sometimes accompanied by bagpipes
But with a different scene and a different mood just right appeared, rendering more theatrical color to the whole film
Three, Best Costume Design:
nominated for this award, probably because of Cecilia with her long-tailed green halter dress
whether it is alone in the shadows of the pool side, or in the study background of intense emotion touches
this body color dress materials and simple cut can have an encore
, of course, there are many noteworthy that on small details of clothing
played Briony's , in a pure white gauze dress, elegant and graceful, highlighting her slightly superior temperament,
just like the stage play she wrote at the beginning of the film, implying that she is a smart and noble princess, like her
cousin Lola. The slightly fancy red dress is also in line with her frivolous and unwilling character at that time. The
more interesting thing is the swimsuit. Cecilia and Briony both have the
same style in the scene of wearing a swimsuit , which is also in line with the characteristics of the era at that time
. White, with a white swimming cap, it
can be seen that in terms of clothing, this film is still very attentive.
Fourth, the best photography:
From a visual point of view, "Atonement" is undoubtedly a pleasing and good film
Joe Wright has also been praised as someone shot the film will make people being in the aesthetic mood, fresh and natural but also with a gorgeous sense of
the film's tone and lighting effects are controlled just right, tepid
and movie screen The framing and composition of the pictures also seem to have been carefully carved into
the country lanes, villas, gardens, beaches in the latter half, hospitals, London streets, etc.
Even in the pictures, the positions of the characters are very large. the stress
on a different tone of the plot, was also used different shooting techniques
The British countryside in the peaceful era, the comfortable and quiet life, the camera feels soft and dazzling,
but when the war broke out, the close-up real scene felt full of eyeballs, and the oppression also followed
. if fear and calamity will come at any time
seen Joe Wright's "Pride and prejudice" you should know he is good at long shots
remember the dance that long shot it, the grand panorama of the entire party and then every expression accentuates the
look The technique is skillful, the director's scheduling skills are top-notch, and the coordination of personnel is almost seamless
. In "Atonement", the long shot of about 6 minutes is also unforgettable.
Dunkirk Beach, before the big retreat, was dilapidated. waterfront Park bear
great scene with distant Ferris wheel, abandoned ship, carousel, tanks, and dusky seaside buildings
little scene had scattered around the crowd, dropped on the beach firearms, ammunition, sandbags, large
This scene under the lens of large and small wooden boxes seems to make us feel that the smoke is still filled with gunpowder after
the war
. the soldiers reveals homesickness, sad at the cruelty of war, but unfortunately in reality the fate of
five best Art Direction:
in particular when nominated art director, refers to the art director of this movie and sets guidance
As mentioned in photography Like, "Atonement" each of the scenes are struggling to create the perfect visual effect of
a single talk that has been hailed as the most popular field of study passion play of 2006-07
sets in a oppressive and everywhere is dark tone of his study
black Robbie in the dress and Cecilia in the green dress are perfectly integrated in this group of dull tones, which make people bright and bright.
Coupled with the towering bookcase behind it, it is huge and heavy
I have to admire the staff who designed this scene, let Cecilia hang halfway on the bookcase, the effect is really shocking.
From Briony's point of view, it looks like a god statue aloft, this scene is deeply engraved in her mind in
such a visual impact, how can you not let her panic to anger the uproar it counts
six best supporting actress:
get the nomination, not only unexpected but also people convinced people
right, Briony is played 14-year-old actor Xi Ersha performing very well in the film
from director to actor and actress even the original author, gave her high praise
white face, scattered freckles, blond cute short hair, clear blue Eyes, what an innocent girl, but the
more innocent she looks, the more she reflects her stupidity and almost crazy impulses. Childish and
let her wild imagination make up some self-righteous incident scenes.
Robbie's deep-rooted prejudice and deep disgust
This is how 11-year-old Briony was
amazed at how well Silsa can grasp the character's character. She
frowned, her eyes widened,
her head held high, and her steps were fast . One expression and one movement can be well interpreted. Briony's inner world
and the willfulness of Briony when he was young, and his obscure love for Robbie, were all put into the moment when
she suddenly jumped into the pond. She calmly looked at Robbie and Cecilia outside the window from the window
with a trace of doubt. and anxiety, and like then suddenly understood what like
this 11-year-old girl on cognitive attitude strange thing, is the interpretation of the Xi Ersha is a color
always remember that scene, Robbie was taken away, gradually away, and he
My mother was also crying and scolding Briony just standing there by the window, with her beautiful big eyes open, looking straight at him.
Clear eyes, what is vaguely sad empty atheism, or with selfishness get revenge pull off the meet
can only say that, Xi Ersha completely into the role, perhaps only she can feel it
seven best film :
Now that has been said in front of so many, we can see "Atonement" nominated for an Oscar for best film will be more normal
original novel has been hot selling in European markets, the highly acclaimed and sought after
and "Atonement" a release, there will be various Fang Shengsheng's support for entering the Oscars
seems to be a typical filming routine that should win an award. He made great efforts in all aspects and was
shortlisted without any suspense at the time. It was also expected by everyone and
even more predictions. Maybe "Atonement" will be a dark horse in the last race to
replenish themselves awards:
unconsciously write so much, nothing more than to illustrate the film is not bad
even in my opinion, it should also nominated for best director, best actor, best Best Editing These three awards
31-year-old Joe Wright is young, promising and full of talents. Although he has only directed these two films
, he can also see his unique style and his ability to comprehend and express the essence of the film. I believe in the future there will certainly be higher achievement
James, half goat man of the year, and now finally into Oscar
like his carefully nuanced expressions of the characters, tone of voice tone, as well as trademark charming smile, and pure and focused eyes
has previously starred in the stage play skills, superb acting increasingly up rave reviews
he Robbie played very moving, touching Why use to describe
precisely because of melt into his own understanding of the role, the kindness, dedication , The tough Robbie acted to the extent that no one could not be moved. Just
seeing the scene of Robbie dying with his eyes open, he would be unconsciously sad to the point of crying
The best editing award, is entirely personal feeling
a lot of people just see "Atonement" when even less able to understand
the whole film shot cuts to make very clear this is not the real and imaginary boundaries become increasingly blurred
that which the scene is real, what scene is fictional, they can not distinguish
can because of this, we can feel the final for the feelings of frustration and regret
had thought the two time together, there are three people in the reunion scene so in front of
it know where the original was actually given to them in the novel, Briony has had a happy ending did not want
those pictures suddenly flash back, in fact, is within reach but never like nothing more than to have gathered
Living, not only It combines this reason of the fictional novel, and also reflects the aesthetic and romantic idealism. The
last words:
"Atonement", is an amazing masterpiece
. It is not because it is not good enough.
I can only say, the opponent is strong enough, so this is expected to do
open Oscar aside, is "Atonement" achievements in the Golden Globe and Academy of Motion Picture Arts Award for British television
is enough to prove the merits of its.
