What master craftsman Anthony Minghella secretly brought to you



The original author, Ian McEwan, said that this is a ``very internal novel,'' and Joe Wright confessed, ``The most important thing was finding a way to portray the characters' inner lives.'' ing. What's more, during the process of writing the script, he had his close friend Anthony Minghella, a film director, read it and receive various advice from him.


Speaking of Minghella, he won nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, for ` `The English Patient '' (1996), which, like this film, incorporates the charms of ``war,'' ``love,'' and ``storytelling.'' He is a brilliant master craftsman. The period when Wright was struggling with ``Atonement'' coincided with the period when Minghella served as president of the BFI (British Film Institute). He was probably always supporting filmmakers of all generations in various ways.


At the time, spending time with Minghella, who was 18 years his senior, was like a master's course in filmmaking. He asked Joe Wright relentless questions about the scripts he had read. Sometimes the questions were difficult to understand, and sometimes the questions were provocative. However, thanks to this exchange, Wright was able to more clearly understand what he valued and what should be made into a film.

His involvement with Minghella didn't end there. He appears in this work in the climax of the film, playing the role of ``unraveling the inner life of the main character Briony.''


There are probably very few people who will notice his existence after viewing it once. Although it is a small appearance, it is a very important role. The tension in this serious scene must have been quite intense. However, it is not hard to imagine that the presence of the master craftsman Minghella, who has experience in numerous productions, created an indescribable sense of security and trust among the staff and cast.


Less than two years The Day After, master artist Anthony Minghella suddenly passed away. His death was far too early, at the age of 54. In this way, the film ``Atonement'' seems to take on yet another quiet depth as it embraces the memories and even the memories of the man who worked so hard behind the scenes.
