- There are lots of worthy candidates for greatest short story. Here's mine, with comparisons to Atonement.

I think the point of the second part of atonement is that what happens in this part, doesn't really matters, is a dream, is Briony's imagination of what happened or what could have happened. I think you are missing the point, he's dead the moment Briony points her finger at him, and so is cecilia. the tragedy of the movie is that briony spends her life living a daydream of what she wishes she could have done/changed. The part of the movie you are criticizing is the part that is fake, the dream, the illusion, the guilt.
Someone did a brilliant video essay of how the music in the movie tells you, which parts are real and which are not, and is denoted by the absence of the music.
And that's why the second half of the movie is so dream like, why the shots are so amazing, so tragic or beautiful, because that's briony's book.
yeeees Celilia should have talked to Briony right after she caught them in the library. she should have noticed the panic in Briony's eyes and voice and explained that they were actually in love, that Robbie wasn't trying to hurt her. then Briony would have asked about the letter and the fountain, and Celilia would have cleared that up as well. Briony could have been too imaginative for her on good, jumping to conclusions and such, and also jealous of Celilia, but she was still a child who deserved to hear the truth from her loved ones, not just silence.
Another key example to why communication means so much. Much to regret when words are left unsaid. Passivity really can sabotage many lives.
This is SO underrated!! Keep up the good work, what you're doing is amazing!
🙏😃TY!
Dunno if you guys gives a shit but if you guys are stoned like me atm then you can watch pretty much all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend for the last months =)
@Emilio Nicholas Definitely, have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself =)
This is one of my favourite movies so I will never forgive you for criticising it. But keep up the good work.
Haha thx. I do like the movie, and briony is a great character
Awesome to see you putting out new content!
Yo man I missed you! I read this in freshman English 1 and completely forgot about how great it was. Thanks my guy!
Thank you!! English Comp 4 Life! I was going through some old stuff and came across the book from that class. So many great stories but I couldn't get this one out of my head so I tried to work it into a video. Took for freakin ever! I really appreciate your support:-) Happy 2020!
Atonement is so beautifully shot but only the first half is my favorite movie. I can't watch the rest. It's too unfair and wholly unsatisfying. Great videos DaveScripted!
Great analysis. Having read the book first, I was completely at a loss with the second half of the movie. Don't get me wrong; I have no problem with axing a great book to make it a visual medium. And the movie is stunning. I just felt, like you, that it had lost something in translation. And now I know why. Many thanks!
TY!
I know this video is four years old and you’re probably aware of that by now, but « La Parure » has actually already been adapted in a short film by Claude Chabrol, with Mathilde being played by Cécile de France, if you want to check it out
Oh no.... I'm nervous but I will. Thx!
You're amazing keep up the good work ♥️♥️♥️♥️
You're amazing! 🙏
Superb critique! It brings to mind my feelings about the series Chernobyl after reading the review by Masha Gessen: I began to doubt, even enjoy less, something I had previously thought impeccable.
THX. 🙏 The same happened with me and Chernobyl. The fact vs fiction videos I watched after took something away.
Hey i really like your content
THX!!! 🙏
Please make more videos!
I'm on it! 🙏
(It's "de MOH-PA-SSAn" , not MAh-po-ssan...ZHEN, not ZhAy-Anne 🙂) Thanks for this, I had never heard of this story before.
Very good video otherwise but the point near the end about Lola being partly responsible for what happens to Robbie is disgusting. idk if the book is different but she was in shock after what happened and not capable of identifying Cumberbatch's character. Briony had to convince her it was Robbie and she went the rest of the story thinking he did it.
Gotta disagree with you. Lola knows who it was in both the book and the movie. In the scene, Briony says "I saw him." And Lola, suddenly afraid, says, "You saw?" She's talking about Marshall. When Briony says it was Robbie, Lola is clearly surprised. That's why she never agrees with Briony that it was Robbie, because she knows it wasn't, but she doesn't tell the truth either. That doesn't make what happened her fault at all. She's the victim of a horrific crime. But I think she still should have come forward.
@@davescripted3796 I just don't think it makes sense for Lola to go on to marry Marshall if she's aware that he was the perpetrator all along. I feel like everything suggests that she became convinced it was Robbie, although not necessarily in the scene immediately after her assault. There may well be evidence to the contrary in the book, I don't know.
