Ok...so for all you saps (like me) who LOVED Pride and Prejudice..here is my take on the Joe Wright film ATONEMENT... 
It is definitely a love story, but by the end of the film I felt like I had watched a heart wrenching tragedy..There was a discomforting sunken feeling in the pit of my stomach.. like "you know the ship is gonna hit the iceberg and you know they're going to die anyway" type of feeling. However James McAvoy and Keira Knightly gave very convincing performances, and lets admit it..when's the last time you saw a love scene with Keira pinned up against library shelves, HELLO?!? 
Note to mention she rocked that long backless green dress like Madonna rocked cone bras...yess.. I classify fine films by those that within 1.5-2 hrs, can have you experience you a roller coaster of emotions. I was  enamoured by the connection between the two main roles,  depressed by the war scenes,  enraged at the little snitch sister, disillusioned by the sister's confession, and eventually  pitied and sympathized for the sister as she got older.  
Also, The cinematography was AMAZING. Lessons learned: Tell the truth, you will be hella moded later on life if you don't. |
