i just watched the movie. i was hoping to read the book, but since i just have no time, i just opted to watch the movie instead. to sum my opinion of it, it was depressing and yet strangely, i liked it.
it is a story set in old england with snobby rich families having snotty, bratty kids. there was this one kid who early on had a knack for being a writer. she even wrote her own play, with plans of actually getting her cousins to act on it. this suggested that she has a very creative mind and rich imagination. a series of events then unfolded before her eyes and well, she interpreted them differently than they actually are. she judged, and she over reacted, and she condemned.
the rest of the movie was spent on unraveling tales of misery and sadness by everyone involved on that fateful summer evening.
the setting was great. the trees and seas helped a lot in depicting the contrast between the characters' despondent state and the lush and breathtaking surroundings. it was particularly striking, when the movie showed that scene in the forest, where everything was green and fresh, and then all of a sudden there were about fifty children, wearing black, laying on the grassy floor, massacred. it still gives me shudders.
i loved the actors. kiera is great as always. james mcavoy was also wonderful. they little girl was really annoying which tell a lot about her acting... really realistic.
atonement. i loved it. a sad movie with lessons and great scenes and acting.
