Atonement Synopsis
Want different movies to watch well I have some good ones such as Atonement, License To Wed, Game Plan and Heartbreak Kid. The last three that I’ve mentioned are comedy while Atonement is about passion of love. But here I want to talk about Atonement first cause the genre is different. The story is about a British romance that spans several decades before. A writer Briony Tallis, as a 13-year-old, irrevocably changes the course of several lives when she accuses her older sister’s lover of a crime he did not commit.
Academy Award-nominated actress, Keira Knightley and James McAvoy ( Award nominee for "The Last King of Scotland") opposite Ms. Knightley. The two of them played as the main character in the movie. Christopher Hampton (Academy Award winner for "Dangerous Liaisons") has written the screenplay adaptation of Ian McEwan’s best-selling 2002 novel Atonement. Shot on location in the U.K., the film’s story spans several decades. In 1935, 13-year-old fledgling writer Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan) and her family live a life of wealth and privilege in their enormous mansion. On the warmest day of the year, the country estate takes on an unsettling hothouse atmosphere, stoking Briony’s vivid imagination. Robbie Turner (Mr. McAvoy), the educated son of the family’s housekeeper, carries a torch for Briony’s headstrong older sister Cecilia (Ms. Knightley). Cecilia and Robbie declare their love for each other, but he is arrested — and with Briony bearing false witness, the course of three lives is changed forever. Briony continues to seek forgiveness for her childhood misdeed. Through a terrible and courageous act of imagination, she finds the path to her uncertain atonement, and to an understanding of the power of enduring love.
