And you are most welcome for the detail about the book. It is quite an incredible coup de literature (I don't know if that's a phrase that means anything or if I made it up but either way it works).Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480863610135936930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507748677937404511.post-1498240714331127272016-03-19T21:00:38.355-04:002016-03-19T21:00:38.355-04:00I've heard that criticism before and I can und...I've heard that criticism before and I can understand even though I don't agree.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480863610135936930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507748677937404511.post-70202403735471281102016-03-17T23:36:26.619-04:002016-03-17T23:36:26.619-04:00This film has generated some of the absolute best ...This film has generated some of the absolute best articles in the history of this feature.

OK I said it. Fisti knows and probably wants to slap me for thinking this way(all in jest). I went with 3 other people and 2 fell asleep and the other was looking at me and saying...this is dull. Now, the story is amazing but I felt it was soooo dull but I did love Redgrave's performance. I might give it another shot to see if I am wrong in my own feelings towards this filmBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507748677937404511.post-1334696565882578062016-03-16T14:10:11.875-04:002016-03-16T14:10:11.875-04:00It was REALLY hard to pick just one shot.

Besides my runner-up, there was the part of the Dunkirk shot with the chorus singing on the bandstand, the shot with Briony looking at the London skyline, Vanessa's head in her hands, and practically anything with Keira in that green dress.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480863610135936930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507748677937404511.post-53862101406812131532016-03-16T14:07:13.230-04:002016-03-16T14:07:13.230-04:00It's a great film.

I think it's more about expectations? Atonement was sold as this grand epic romance, and it kind of is, but it's mostly not. Watching it knowing what you're getting allows you to appreciate what it's doing more, I think.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480863610135936930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507748677937404511.post-5708803885831983182016-03-16T07:44:52.105-04:002016-03-16T07:44:52.105-04:00There's so many great shots in this movie I...There's so many great shots in this movie I'm not sure if I'd be able to pick one.

I almost love the aftermath of that library shot more... at least in how expressive the acting is the absolute discomfort and shame and also violation of being caught. I love their awkward exit of that room. <br /><br />agreed that this movie is better now than it was then or maybe it just helps to be older when you watch it?
