Bryony was chatting with other nurses in the attic, and the nurse asked her what story you were writing about? "A girl who saw in the window something she didn't understand at the time, a stupid girl" That's right, this The girl is Bryony herself. That summer, she met her sister West and her servant Robbie at the window in an ambiguous scene by the fountain, and later encountered Robbie and her sister in the study. , and later her cousin was "raped". Her rich imagination told her that Robbie did it, so her one-sided remarks ruined the fate of the three people. In fact, at first I thought it was only because Bryony's imagination was too rich that he would testify against Robbie by perjury. After watching the movie, I learned that Bryony, who was 13 years old, once adored Robbie. There is a scene where the summer sun is scorching hot, Bryony is standing by the lake wrapped in a bath towel and asks Robbie, "If I fall, will you be me?" Robbie gave a positive answer "Of course it will" So Bryony Oni, an ignorant and ignorant girl, jumped in, just to test the truth of what she admired. After Robbie rescued Bryony, she was full of joy, he didn't understand why she was so happy, Luo Be so angry, after all, Bryony is still too young. She said that "I will always remember that you saved me", and that affection may have become stronger from that moment, but after seeing Robbie's letter of flirting with her sister by mistake, Robbie is a knight in her heart Her image collapsed, she began to be jealous of everything, maybe what she did was revenge on her sister and Robbie, so she was young and ignorant, ruining the love between her sister and Robbie. Years passed, and as he grew up, Bryony realized that she had made an unforgivable mistake at the time. Her mistake led to Robbie's imprisonment, and she had to go to a dangerous battlefield after her release, prompting her sister Meet Robbie but can't end up falling in love. What I didn't expect at the end was that the belated apology was still a fantasy of Bryony after all. The truth of the matter is that "Robbie died of sepsis the day before the British retreat" and his sister West died in a bomb shelter. It was only after Bryony became the author, when she was old, that the sad truth was told, For so many years, she has been on the road of redemption, but she has never dared to face the mistakes she has made, and everything is her own obsession after all. In the end, she gave Robbie and her sister West a happy ending in her autobiographical atonement, which she took as her last chance to atone for her sins before she died. The story of atonement is indeed very touching, but the love line is also really heartbreaking. The movie lacks me a perfect summer afternoon, a real ending. The picture is very beautiful, and the beauty is cruel. There is a scene where Robbie is standing in front of a red flower. Later, I learned that the flower sea is a commemorative flower for the dead soldiers, and it is also buried for the real ending of Robbie at the end of the movie. Foreshadowing. So this movie also reveals the cruelty of war. There is a long shot. Robbie is standing in front of a group of corpses of convent girls and sheds tears. So many young lives are smashed in the wilderness, right in front of him. The camera is pushed forward. , Tears welled up on Robbie's face. A deep long shot. The cruelty of war is right before your eyes. Just the right emotion, but unfortunately can't escape the sadness [Atonement]
