Atonement

Watched this movie. Well the story line wasn't anything to shout about. It's about a young girl who was party to the elder sister's boyfriend being incarcerated for a crime of sexual assault, insisting that she was certain in her testimony, although otherwise. Hence, as a result, several lives were irrevocably changed. Later she much regretted her action and in her last book before she dies, she detailed out all the facts, baring truths for atonement. The movie was set beginning at about the time of the 2nd World War.


Inspite of the not so impressive storyline (in my opinion, of course), I enjoyed the movie immensely being mostly awed by the chain of events throughout. Keira Knightly, the anorexic and sweet face one was suitably forlorn and irrepressibly optimistic at the same time in her character. She was the elder sister. Great performance. Vanessa Redgrave as her character in the end portrayal of the original young girl was unforgetably impressive during her narrations at her end of days.

There was a sex scene. Of course there was a sex scence. It was in the library in a standing starfish position. Picture? (aiyah, go google yourself lor.)


Vanessa as I remembered her last before I watched this movie.

Vanessa, as she looked like in this movie, elegant and distinguished.

I am going to watch this movie again.

Saw this the other day. Hey, don't you wish you have a kid or a kid brother like this?
