When I watched it, I knew it would be difficult to find such a heart-wrenching British film.
How absurd can a change in human destiny be? One night ago, "the golden jade was full of halls, the nephrite jade was warm and fragrant, and the future was immeasurable"; after one night, "I was imprisoned, and since then I have been like the wind and rain, and my life has been floating and sinking, and I have broken the battlefield". And this fate-changing night, he only went out to find two runaway children because of his kindness, integrity and wisdom, and gave people the opportunity to frame him.
The above unfortunate character is Robbie in the British film "Atonement", which was released in 2007.
"Atonement", which has a Douban score of 8.5, is a sad movie. What is it like to have a cold dew dripping from a blade of grass into one's heart in the late autumn mist, then what kind of mood it is to watch this movie.
Robbie is the son of a wealthy British housekeeper, and despite his father's absence, the family has always cared for Robbie's mother and son. Robbie himself was personable and elegant, studying at Cambridge University and preparing to pursue a medical career as he hoped to become a doctor after graduation.
The rich family also has a beautiful girl of similar age to Robbie, Cecilia, who is also studying for a degree at Cambridge University.
There is an atmosphere between Cecilia and Robbie that is completely different from others, that is, the ambiguity that belongs to the secret growth of love.
The clear sun, the hot summer, the savage growth of vines, the flourishing bouquets, and then facing the beauty who thinks day and night, are either flustered or dizzy. Both Robbie and Cecilia were fascinated by each other. The serious love letter was not delivered, but the little sister of Robbito Cecilia sent it was a frivolous and bold gibberish.
Fortunately, for the two people who have feelings for each other, this is just an innocuous little joke, and it is also an opportunity for further breakthroughs in the relationship between the two.
The dim library, the turquoise long skirt, the elegant suit and the jewelry that accidentally fell outside the door are the seduction of the summer night, the reticence of the summer night, the joy of the summer night, the passion of the summer night.
It was a moment too beautiful to freeze time, but it shattered to the ground like a beautiful glass cup—Cecilia's sister Brioni broke in and found them.
Although awkwardly interrupted, the two hearts that had just exchanged hearts were still hot, and the hands under the two tables were touching each other from time to time—they did not have time to tell each other their full affection and plan each other's beautiful future together.
Who wouldn't have thought that this moment of joy would be far shorter than meteors and fireworks?
The underage girl, Cecilia's sister Brioni, actually pointed out to the police that Robbie was the criminal who hurt her cousin, ruining Robbie's bright future and the possibility of Robbie and Cecilia being together.
At one point, she thought that What Delioni was doing stemming from the prejudice and immaturity of a child, until she later discovered that it was all due to jealousy, because she had a crush on Robbie.
The incident that sent Robbie to jail was never a case, but only the secret affection between her cousin's sympathizers and The jealousy and anger of Doriani, who she had clearly seen as a chocolate merchant.
The pretentious teenage girl, Doriani, always appears so inappropriately between lovers. The relationship between the cousin and the chocolate merchant was a good result, but the sister Cecilia and Robbie began a short and painful life path, and the two not only could not stay together, but died in the war.
Adept at making up stories, Doriani eventually became a well-known novelist. In a book, she weaves a happy love story for Cecilia and Robbie, which is her atonement for what they have done.
But who could forgive her at this moment, the two people she had hurt had been dying miserably for years. She may or may not understand at all what a beautiful life she has destroyed, and what a beautiful friendship she has destroyed.
When the window paper between Cecilia and Robbie had not yet been broken, Cecilia turned away from the edge of the pool, and Robbie gently touched the surface of the water that Cecilia had left with her hand, and what a gentle smile filled her eyes, could she understand in the distant window?
When Robbie was taken away by the police, her sister, who was wearing a long skirt with a shower and a back, had already entered the house in the confusion and sadness behind the anxious waiting in the cold night, could she understand?
After being devastated by artillery fire, dying of wound infection at the closest moment to home, and still carrying Cecilia's photos and letters before he died, how much of the unwilling grief in Robbie's heart at this moment can make her understand?
Cecilia, who is equally troubled, insists on communicating with Robbie after making a decision with her family, how did she feel in the years after Robbie's death? When the air raid came, I wondered if Cecilia had any letters with slaves on her?
Two high-achieving students at Cambridge University, mixed with Duriani, who was good at making up stories, one became the most dangerous soldier who was least likely to be, and the other became a low-level nurse who did not have to be, and then both died.
She later made up a happy ending story for the two of them, is this the atonement?
Just thinking about that summer, that vase, that pool, that silhouette, that spirited smile, I feel that sin is unforgivable.
