Is the British writer Ian McEwan famous, or is the movie "Atonement" famous? I guess it's the latter! After all, the male protagonist of the film is "the first beautiful man in Europe", known as "Zhan Yimei" James McAvoy, and the female protagonist is Kayla Knightley, one of the "Four Beauty of England".
This lineup is simply too eye-catching!
If you've seen Redemption, you'll know that this is not a love movie of handsome men and beautiful women, but a complete tragedy. After all, its original author was the famous British writer Ian McEwen. This is a writer who excels at discussing violence, death, lust, and good and evil.
The tragedy of the story lies not only in the tragic love of the male and female protagonists, but also in the tragic - the sister - the character who bears the sin of life.

The story takes place in British high society, but the male protagonist Robbie is not a brother, but the son of a servant. When Robbie was ten years old, his father ran away from the family, leaving only the lonely mother and son.
The Lord's family saw that Robbie was smart and studious, so they provided him with education until he graduated from Cambridge.
The lord has two daughters, the sister and Robbie are classmates, and they almost never speak during school. My sister is a literary girl who loves to write. The younger sister likes to be with Robbie and will jump into the water to wait for Robbie to rescue her.
My sister rarely talks to Robbie, sometimes deliberately distances herself, and even when her family mentions Robbie, she always looks like she "mentions what he is doing". But this is all deliberately pretended by her, in fact, she has already secretly agreed.
Robbie was equally in love with her sister, and that afternoon, her sister and Robbie had some unpleasant troubles, and Robbie wanted to write a letter to apologize. He wrote two letters, one with an apology and the other with a naked confession.
The latter was only written by Robbie subconsciously, and he folded the paper and placed it on the table, but mistakenly stuffed the naked confession into the envelope.
Embarrassed to hand the letter directly to his sister, he saw his sister playing in the grass, called out his sister's name, and the sister flew over. Robbie explained the situation, and her sister flew back with the letter.
However, the sister was not in a hurry to send the letter to her sister, and the first moment she ran home, she opened the letter and saw the sentence. At this moment, her jealousy and resentment all came to her heart. She stuffed the letter into her sister and didn't say a word.
The sister has an ignorant love for Robbie, that's for sure. Although the film does not directly illustrate this point, we can find out a lot of details. For example, when my sister saw Robbie, she always had a little shyness in her expression. When Robbie calls out to her, she will rush over at once. And later when Robbie was taken away by the police, she had tears in her eyes.
The person she likes likes her sister, which makes her not know who to hate. She told her friend that Robbie had written a lewd love letter to her sister and was a big color wolf. She wanted to vent her love through this slanderous way.
On this night, Robbie and his sister exchanged heartfelt words and expressed their admiration for each other. At this moment, the sister pushed the door in and witnessed everything. All this made her sister hate Robbie even more.
It was also on this night that my sister's friend was violated and was bumped into by my sister. The sister's flashlight shone on the abuser's face. But the victim didn't know the truth because she was blindfolded. The sister took this opportunity to plant the blame on Robbie.
No one could have imagined that a thirteen-year-old girl would lie about such a thing. The sister gave the love letter to her parents, which confirmed Robbie's indecency, and Robbie was sent to prison.
This perjury of her sister not only ruined the lives of Robbie and her sister, but also ruined herself. For the rest of her life, she will be deeply remorseful for this lie. She was jealous out of love, but it was only ignorant, vague love, like a wayward girl protecting her beloved toy, and she would rather destroy that toy once it was snatched away. It is a selfish love that must never be shared with others. It's deformed, morbid love.

Four years later, World War II broke out, and Robbie could choose to remain in jail or be sent to war. He chose the latter so that not only would he regain his freedom after the war, but more importantly, he would be able to meet his sister.
Because of that night four years ago, my sister completely broke off contact with her family and waited for Robbie's return. Finally they met, but the time of seeing each other was always short, and Robbie was about to go to the battlefield, so he had the most famous line in "Atonement":
“I will return， find you ， love you ，marry you and live without shame”
I'll run to you, find you, love you, marry you, and live with my chest up
The sister and Robbie loved each other like this, waiting for the day when they would meet. War is brutal, and any accident can separate Robbie from his sister. The guns are merciless, the environment is so harsh, for a soldier, to survive is the most difficult thing.
Director Joe White joins the scene of the Dunkirk evacuation here, where three hundred thousand Anglo-French troops gather at the port of Dunkirk. Each of them was Robbie, and there were people in his hometown who loved him waiting for him to come home. This is the film's most expensive set, making a movie that explores human nature and love an epic shock.
Some people also believe that the Dunkirk evacuation has a deliberate showmanship element, and in this kind of film, this move is not the finishing touch, but a snake.
Without commenting too much on the technique and structure of the film, go back to the story.
Robbie and his sister never saw each other again, Robbie died in the port of Dunkirk and her sister died in a shelter. Their love was only missed on that night four years ago, and the affectionate kiss before they went to war.
As my sister grew older, she finally realized what mistakes she had made. Once upon a time, she just wanted to get revenge on Robbie, and she didn't want to ruin anyone's life. But in fact, she was the initiator of the whole incident, and if she had not identified Robbie with certainty, the subsequent tragedy would not have occurred.
The sister had to spend her life in remorse. She has become a household writer, and before her death, she finally has the courage to make the truth of that year public in the form of a novel.
At the end of the film, the sister is already an old woman who has read the vicissitudes, and in the face of an interview, she tells her last novel. There is no rhyme, no rhetoric, only naked truth. She was reminiscing about the past, trying to atone for robbie and her sister. She was sincere, and this pain tormented her for the rest of her life, far from being relieved of her sins.
But you know, my sister published the novel before she died, and when she was eighteen, she realized her mistake. At that time, she didn't tell anyone the truth. Robbie was an abusive, lewd man who had violated young girls until his death. Although the sister told the truth, but the times have changed, who cares about that incident?
Her sister was indeed repenting, and she did want to atone for her sins, but she still chose to protect herself first. She would rather let the truth torment her for the rest of her life than let someone poke her in the back. In her redemption, there is human selfishness. I think this is the film's most obscure dissection of human nature.
