Atonement is to compensate‚ amend or satisfy a wrong. Briony is the one responsible for the wrong act that needs atoning. A lot was running through this thirteen year old mind before setting out with this act.

From the beginning of the film ’Atonment’ we observe as Briony displays her need for physical and emotional control of both herself and others. Her neatly ordered room with its overwhelming floral wallpaper and miniature replica of the house‚ along with the specifically aligned trail of animals reflects her ordered and controlling state of mind.

of why would God give such a wonderful gift as atonement to humanity when it cost Him so dearly. Jesus Christ the Son of God made the ultimate and very painful sacrifice for sinful mankind. Jesus Christ by His death saved you and me and countless other men‚ women and children from the everlasting flames of hell. How can we explain Jesus ultimate sacrifice for us?
