Trailer
Atonement is one of the classic psychological melodrama films in contemporary cinema history. The work tells the tragic love story between Cecilia Tallis (Keira Knightley) and Robbie Turner (James McAvoy).
Robbie is the son of a butler for the wealthy Tallis family. He and Cecilia - the eldest daughter of the Tallis family - had a secret relationship, but it was accidentally discovered by the youngest daughter of the Tallis family, Briony (Saoirse Ronan). With the naive intelligence and rich imagination of a 13-year-old girl, Briony misunderstood the relationship between Robbie and her sister, thinking that Robbie was a bad guy.
Because of this thought, Briony later testified falsely, accusing Robbie of rape. Robbie was imprisoned and his love affair with Cecilia fell into tragedy from here.
Playing the role of Robbie Turner, James McAvoy impresses not only with his outstanding acting, but also with his heart-stopping beauty, a classic "muse" with blue eyes, clear as a lake.
