    Acting with her eyes. Joe Wright saw her. Saw how good an actress Saoirse was and would be.

      Yep. Hope he reunites her, James and Keira for a future film! And that they will get a happy ending for once. Maybe if he decides to adapt The Tattooist at Auschwitz?

      I think Joe Wright has a thing for blue eyes : Saoirse Ronan (Hanna, Atonement), James McAvoy (Atonement), Aaron Taylor Johnson (Anna Karenina). And also, hand gestures -- dance scene in Anna Karenina is very apparent.

    also, I remember in an interview where Carey Mulligan was asked what was the best acting of the decade (2000's) for her, she said Saoirse Ronan in Atonement. To be recognized in a film where you are the supporting character yet a very crucial and pivotal role and in a decade where masterful performances are seen, it's great that somebody as great of an actor as Carey Mulligan recognized Saoirse's acting in Atonement.

      The older I’ve gotten then more I realize that her character actually propagates in everyone. I fell under a similar set of circumstantial evidences that caused me to be arrested. I couldn’t understand how multiple unrelated people, from accuser, to investigator, to reporter, could all make their own wildly untrue statements based on a loose interpretation of the facts they observed. For over a year, as things headed toward trial, I concluded that these people were somehow evil like this girl, but I don’t think that now. I think everyone interprets the things they don’t understand with a deeper meaning than is merited. So just as my accusers thought I was conspiring to be a mass murderer, I thought they were conspiring to pluck me away from my comfortable pedestal. The truth is so much less exciting, but at least it’s true. At least for my part, I tried to be patient and understand why they thought the things they thought about me. I could have easily been just as irrational and come after them with defamation and other lawsuits just to end up gaining nothing by taking away from others. The real atonement wasn’t about paying for your own sins, or making things balanced again, but instead paying for sins you never committed, and taking it in stride, the way Robbie could have by forgiving Briony.

  • @rowangates
    @rowangates 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +89

    I sympathized at with young Briony at first, as she obviously didn't understand what she saw and genuinely thought Robby was hurting her sister, but when it was revealed that she saw Paul's face clear as day with Lola, everything got so much deeper. Such an amazing actress

    • @idab9958
      @idab9958 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +27

      Memories can be unreliable, especially traumatic ones, and Briony only saw Paul for a split second. My interpretation is that she fooled herself into believing it was Robbie, because she already believed he was dangerous and it made more sense to her childish imagination, and suppressed the real memory until she grew up and realised she had to stop lying to herself.

    • @christianealshut1123
      @christianealshut1123 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      I always had the impression that Briony was slightly smitted with Robbie and envious of her sister. She wanted it to be Robbie because this way she could enact her payback. She realized that what she did was unforgivable because it destroyed the lives of two people - that was why in her final book she wrote a scene imagining Robbie and her sister telling her just that.

    I just do not find this overwhelming like people mention here. I will almost say that it is just overrated. It is just okay. This can be done with any good young actor coach by any young actor with mediocre talent. There are better child or teen actors. People get really impressed when the role is this dramatic and serious. They automatically assume the acting is so good. The calculation is always missing the influence of good story telling and people's bias towards genres.
