McEwan and Wright argue that no—art cannot atone for a real sin. But art can reveal the sin. The final shot of the film, with the elderly Briony staring into the camera, is not a confession. It is a warning: Be careful what you say when you are young. Words have bodies.
Atonement is a visually stunning film, with Joe Wright's direction and Seamus McGarvey's cinematography creating a lush and evocative portrait of 1930s England and the horrors of World War II. The film's score, composed by Dario Marianelli, is also a standout feature, with its use of a typewriter as a musical instrument adding a unique and memorable element to the film's soundscape. atonement 2007 www9xmoviewin 720p bluray hi new
