To know a girl, you can start from "Atonement"; to know a woman, you must start from love.
We couldn't take our eyes off of Cecilia standing out of the fountain in her transparent underwear. The drenched hem of her clothes was tightly pressed against her fair skin, her lips trembled slightly, and water droplets fell from her red lips, as delicate and charming as a flower stamen. Charm. Robbie noticed this too. Cecilia came out of the fountain, put on the coat she had taken off, and left without looking back, proud and charming. It was a hot summer day, and Briony saw everything from the window, except for Robbie and Cecilia who had been through it.
That evening, Cecilia attended the dinner in a backless emerald dress. She has a slender figure and an extremely graceful back. Just using body language, she can capture the ten thousand amorous feelings rippling in the green waves just right. So, the picture of Cecilia wearing this backless dress and smoking a cigarette while standing on the steps in the dark night has become the most unforgettable freeze in the hearts of countless boys and girls. Cecilia in this dress also fascinated Robbie. Unfortunately, when they were having fun in the study, they were bumped into by Briony. This thirteen-year-old girl is usually addicted to script writing. , but discovered an "additional plot" in life on this day.
The girl was bullied at the dinner, Briony told the police that Robbie did it, and the police asked her: did you see it or did you think it? At that time, Briony had just peeped at Robbie's love letter to Cecilia. I saw it with my own eyes. Robbie went to prison, Cecilia said she would wait for him to come back, the lovers who loved each other were mercilessly separated, the truth you may think, Briony lied, and, in the rest of her life, All spent in inner repentance, but never had the opportunity to uncover the big curtain of the truth.
Robbie became a soldier, and he did not return to Cecilia's side until he died. Both he and Cecilia died in the war. Briony, who happened to pass by in front of Cecilia's house, fantasized about the happiness of bumping into the two of them, but she didn't have the courage to knock on the door of Cecilia's house and never met again.
Why did a thirteen-year-old girl tell a big lie and become the executioner of love? As a result, the rest of her life is spent on atonement...
The day of the tragic summer heat begins, Cecilia, who is wearing a transparent dress, and Robbie, who is standing in front of her, look at each other, becoming the burning thorn in Briony's eyes. In Briony's heart, the first love began on another hot summer day. She was sitting by the pond with Robbie in a snow-white swimsuit. Briony asked Robbie: If I drown, will you save me? Robbie didn't answer. He thought it was just a child's joke, but the stubborn Briony jumped into the water. Robbie hurried into the water to save her, "You'll save me, won't you?" anxious and angry After Robbie brought Briony ashore, he left without looking back, leaving behind a happy little girl. So, on another similar summer day, what Briony witnessed gave her her first taste of jealousy.
Briony wanted a playwright who wrote unfamiliar love scripts, who could control the lives of the hero and heroine in the play, but not the emotions of real people. The naked confrontation between young men and women, the peeking of inconspicuous love letters, and witnessing the love between men and women who seem to be nailed to the bookshelf have all become the fuse of sin. This was a beautiful girl's feelings, but at this moment it has become terrifying and ferocious. Everything happened in such a hurry, but it was very natural.
As an adult, Briony gave up studying in Cambridge to work as a nurse at the hospital where Cecilia used to work, which she said was to atone for her sins. A wounded person recognizes Briony, reminding her of the old days when she was young, Cecilia was sexy, Robbie was friendly, summer was still hot, and love was still at first sight I like it at first sight.
When it comes to atonement, everyone in the movie is doing something about atonement. Robbie became a real sinner in the eyes of everyone, went to prison, and became a soldier, a handsome scholar who was once high-spirited, and finally completed the heroic mission of a man on the battlefield. Cecilia is undoubtedly beautiful, she spent her life to satisfy Robbie's love that started with a "vulgar" love letter, and spent her youth. And Briony is atonement for the past lies, and at the same time for the original goodness in her heart. After all, people who are not good will not be ashamed, but this redemption can no longer heal those who have been hurt. Briony used all the courage she had accumulated throughout her life, but she failed to get the "sorry" she said when facing Cecilia.
Briony finally became a well-known writer. Her final work in her later years was a work called "Atonement", "I have returned them happiness", Briony's voice in front of the camera was trembling, she always She is very clear about her fault. Although Briony admitted that she gave Cecilia and Robbie a happy ending in her work, it is up to the world to judge whether she has been forgiven.
Milan Kundera wrote in "The Unbearable Lightness of Life": The surface is a clear lie, but behind it is an obscure truth. But a lie created because of obscurity cannot stand in life, and can only become a burden.
Let’s sigh that life is like a play, and Tao is a play like life. How should the drama of life be finished?
