It 's really late to write something about it. Who cares, anyway?
Again attracted by the trailer and Keira Knightly.
Disappointed: Keira Kightly
Surprised: Saoirse Ronan (as Briony) and the story (I bought the book afterwards)
Um...I have no idea where to start. It is very hard to describe how I felt when I watched this one. The movie at first is a bit confusing. A little girl saw the very few parts of things and made her own interpretation. But then the couple did the same things again in their own view. It's FLASH BACK. And I didn't get that. Dumb.
When I understood what was actually happening, the story went on smoothly and greatly. I don't want to mention more about the story. What I can say is that the ending shocked me and I nearly cry. A very sad ending and I didn't expect an ending like this. It's a marvellous story.
The performance of Keira Knightly disappointed me ALOT. She didn't have any improvement in Atonement. Just like the same old Elizabeth in POTC and Lizzie in Pride and Prejudice. The acting of Saoirse Ronan was unexpectedly good. A very talented young actress. She was really eye-catching in the movie.
The Chinese title of Atonement just sucks. It is not the real meaning of atonement.
