I want to warn everyone out there that if they consider themselves romantic then they should NOT see Atonement.
I suppose this qualifies some form of an explanation. Was it a bad film? No, quite the contrary. It very well may be one of the best love stories I've experienced; one that might have the staying power of some of my other favorites (The Painted Veil, I Capture the Castle). And cinematically ... well it's perfect. Really well made, filmed, written, etc.
I've heard an ad comparing it to Titanic for some reason. It's nothing like that movie. No, the reason I say do not go is because it is so realistic and so heart wrenching that it will haunt you.
Plus it's too sad.
PS - Hey, I thought the male lead was familiar...he's Mr. Tumnus from Narnia!

I blog less when I'm happy. A lot less. I think that's true of everyone,
really. You're too busy experiencing the moment and spend a lot less time
moaning ...

he also plays mr. tumnus in my fantasies
The only Ad I saw for that film described it as "the greatest love story since the English Patient" and that's when I knew I didn't want to see it.
haha, was that because you disliked the english patient?
