Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2008)

my wife and i went to get her a pair of eyeglasses in west knoxville this weekend we were told the glasses would be ready in 3 hours so we had to go kill some time. we went to downtown west several movies showing but we close to see atonement,usually i do not care for British movies or what the golden globe say when it comes to the best picture of the year as i find the foreign press very critical of the USA in most cases, so i really did not think this movie would be worth seeing but thought what the heck!!!
the movie atonement i must say is one of the best i have seen in many of years but be warned it is a haunting movie as when you leave the theater you are still thinking about it. i suppose we all have secrets in our family that we or someone take to their grave but atonement is all that and more.i love the mail 2 characters you all know who played the young lady has beauty but it is a very natural beauty and the lead guy could very well be your best friend so they are very likable and the way atonement plays out it is just 1 little thing that is seen from a young girls perspective that changes the lives or should i Saw ruins the lives of her own sister and the boy she loved , atonement is very emotional the scenes are as beautifully filmed yet very haunting almost cold at times. it leaves you thinking and wondering what if? don't we all have what if's in our own life? atonement covers plenty and you see what you want not always happy but always what you perceive to be the truth , then at the very end the truth is revealed,the sad truth , no it is not a English fairy tale a very emotional ride,i am going back to see the movie again so i can figure out a couple of other things, even if you were like me and don't like most British films see atonement it is the best i have seen in years!!this should win the Oscar but who knows ?
