Awesome movie perfectly played!

Rating: 9/10 (21 April 2008)

Me being in 11th grade with a job at a restaurant I don't get much time to myself, and what little time I do get I usually spend it with friends. When one of my friends asked me if I would go with her to see Atonement, my initial reaction was what the hell would I want to see a movie like Atonement? When I got home that day I looked it up and found that it was a book written by an (apparently very talented Author.) Ian McEwan I think. Anyways we went with a few friends to the theater that Friday, most of my friends said to hell with it and went to see some other film. We decided to go see Atonement.
I can happily say no matter what my friends do, that Atonement was an absolutely perfect movie. Everything in it was great, the direction, the pace, cinematography, and especially the acting. Kierra Knightly was an absolute joy to watch. The girl who plays Briony, while older and while younger was Excellent! It did such a good job at making the viewers actually feel like the people in the movie were all very real. Almost every single scene in the movie was an absolute landscape, it left nothing out from what was supposed to be imposed.
Honest to God I cant find anything about it that was done wrong, save for maybe the length. When Briony Tallis lies to the family and says that Robbie (DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE OR BOOK) raped the little red head girl (Lolla I think) while everyone was out searching for the twins you can see the naive look in her eyes, an almost sense of Haha. It makes you almost want to laugh at her stupidity. I cant even go into the development of the characters in the movie, its toooo in depth. Let me rephrase that its perfect. Each part in the movie is made so well that you personally feel attached to that individual.. The only thing that I would have to advise against is taking children, parts in the movie can get pretty.....Vulgar, dialog mainly, though its a great movie and very enjoyable
~Hope this helps~ Read the book!
