Atonement
Briony Tallis, a thirteen-year-old aspiring writer and actress, looks at her older sister Cecilia and Robbie Turner (James McAvoy). She misunderstands the situation and sets off a chain of events that will leave a trail of miscommunications and childish anger for everyone involved. Robbie was born to a servant in the family, and his family is always kind. He paid for Cambridge, and is now planning to go to medical school. Briony, after the Fountain incident, reads Cecilia’s letter and concludes Robbie is deviant. Her cousin Lola (Juno Temple), is raped by her and she informs police that Robbie was the one she witnessed committing the crime. –garykmcd
