Impressionist film

Impressionist colors, Debussy's music, and the profile of a girl in Sargent's writings form my initial impression of "Atonement". At the beginning of the film, a scale model like a castle is placed in the girl's room covered with wallpaper like Lori. The percussion has to remind me of Wong Kar Wai's 2046. The two actors who starred in, Keira and James McAvo, of course, are the leading actors who made me YY for a long time. At the beginning of his Becoming Jane, I also have a deep memory of this niche image. Both of them have performed movies adapted from famous novels, but Keira's image is too modern, and a few shots can't help but make me think it is Dior or a big brand advertisement. At that time, women were not so thin on the upper body and their shoulders were not so big. The child's character is probably the most successful, and it's exactly the same as Sargent's sketches.
Several shots in the film gave me a lot of coolness, whether it is color or composition, it is so inspirable~~

Atonement quotes

  • Briony Tallis, aged 13: The princess was well aware of his remorseless wickedness. But that made it no easier to overcome the voluminous love she felt in her heart for Sir Romulus. The princess knew instinctively that the one with red hair was not to be trusted. As his young ward dived again and again into the depths of the lake, in search of the enchanted chalice, Sir Romulus twirled his luxuriant mustache. Sir Romulus rode with his two companions, northwards, drawing ever closer to an effulgent sea. So heroic in manner, he appeared so valiant in word... And no could ever guess at the darkness lurking in the black heart of Sir Romulus Turnbull. He was the most dangerous man in the world.

  • Fiona Maguire: It says in the newspaper the army are making "strategic withdrawals."

    Briony - 18 years old: Yes, I saw that. It's a euphemism for "retreat."
