《圣经》言,人类有七宗罪:饕餮、贪婪、懒惰、淫欲、傲慢、嫉妒和暴怒。电影《赎罪》讲述的便是由这七宗罪中的嫉妒引发的故事。故事也并不出奇,女主人公布里欧尼在13岁时因妒忌姐姐塞西莉亚与自己暗恋的人相爱,作伪证将男主角罗比以强奸罪送进了监狱。二战爆发,罗比被迫参战,与其恋人塞西莉亚先后死于敦克尔克大撤退中。布里欧尼成年后了解到自己的罪恶,试图用一生的努力来向那对死于战火而无缘眷属的爱人赎罪。 The Bible says there are seven sinful human beings: gluttony, greed, laziness, lust, arrogance, envy and rage. The movie Atonement tells the story of the envy of the seven sins. The story is not surprising, the heroine Briany at the age of 13 due to jealous sister Cecilia love with their crush on, for perjury the actor Robbie sent to prison for rape. World War II broke out, Robbie was forced into the war, and his lover Cecilia has died in Dunkirk retreat. Breoni became aware of her own sinfulness as an adult, attempting to make atonement with her life-long effort to make an atonement to the loved ones who died of the war.
