Atonement


When I finished watching this movie, I wasn't sure how I felt about it. Two thumbs up...one thumb up, one thumb down? I think after letting it sink in, I give it two thumbs up.
The way the movies plays out is unique. It will have a scene and then the scene repeats through someone else's view which gives you two sides to the stories. Some parts of the movie were unnecessary and not sure why they were included and other things were drawn out a bit too long but the ending was intriguing and not something that I expected so I guess that's why I was left a little confused.
I think I would watch this again just to see the things I missed on the first go around - it just took me a while to understand what was happening with the directing of the movie.
Interesting story - interesting ending - interesting editing. All in all, I did enjoy the movie and so did Trey.

We watched it at Chuck's Saturday night. I felt the same way. I liked the movie, but at times had trouble following it. The ending surprised me... I really thought it would be more happily ever after.
