Those who have no sin are dead, and those who want to atone for their sins are dying, and those who really should atone for their sins are still alive and well. Sometimes the irony of life is that a group of people willingly buy a lifetime bill for one person's sin. But you can't think that bad people can get away with it, so don't be good people. Sometimes good or bad is not important, but whether you can pass your own test is more important.

A 13-year-old girl is used to manipulating the characters in the play, but she can't arrange the real story, even the twin actors who rehearse the play can't control her. She is often confused. Reality and writing are intertwined with truth and falsehood, and plots are alternately interspersed. Reality provides inspiration and material for her writing, and writing makes her life psychedelic without knowing it. In her eyes, the love between her sister Cecilia and Robbie is nothing but a stage play, and she can walk in and out and point fingers without any scruples. What's ridiculous is that her manipulation by a 13-year-old really affects the reality and the fate of the hero and heroine.
As she confessed herself, "I thought I knew everything, but I couldn't understand what love was at all." At the age of 13, what can I understand and what can I understand? We are often self-righteous, thinking that the world of adults is nothing more than that. We often do childish and impulsive things because we never have to pay for our sins, and no one would have thought we could do so much harm, and no one would condemn us for causing trouble in our day-to-day lives. But paradoxically, adults know that 13 is an age of ignorance and immaturity, and what they say has little credibility. But Bourney's parents chose to believe her allegations against Robbie. This is where people only want to believe what they choose to believe. Bourney thus carried the sins committed by her mother. They chose to trust an age that should not be trusted, and she also became a victim of self-repentance and redemption in the future. The son of a chocolate prince and a housekeeper, no matter who faces the charges, adultery is decided at birth.

When I just watched the movie, I was very angry, why is this movie called Atonement? All the damned dead, this annoying little girl Bourney has paid for her sins is to give up Cambridge, give up literature to become medicine. At the end, it was very contrived to feel that I had made up a happy ending for them. The chocolate prince held the beauty back and became a great hero of World War II. But if you think about it carefully, the little girl is just a used funeral object. She has been blaming herself for her lies all her life and doing her best to atone for her sins. However, she is just a little girl who was used by her cousin and killed by her parents. The embarrassed newlyweds and the feudal mother still start their new lives with peace of mind. The tragic fate of the hero and heroine is nothing but a dusty memory. They consciously become fugitives of the crime, and the crime they committed has trapped Bourney. lifetime. Fortunately, at least one person is atonement.

The story takes place during World War II. The fate of the little people is linked to the background of the times, which makes the fate of the individual even more powerless. The sins of fascism are heavy. How many love, friendship and family love like this have been ruined, and how many moving stories have been sealed forever. , unknown?
