Has anyone bought Atonement or seen it? I bought it the other day and I was a little disappointed it didn't have a happy ending. Any way.. it was good movie though.

i saw it in theaters. i didn`t expect the movie to be about what it was when i was watching it. i thought it was a good movie.

I thought it was a good movie, but as I think about it more and more... the plot was a little useless.... I just saw The Other Boleyn Girl today and that Lola girl from Atonement had a minor role in it.

Neither did I because the previews make it seem different from what the movie was about.

I just rented it a few days ago. Loved James McAvoy in it, and all the sets and costumes and scenery were so gorgeous.

It kind of annoyed me that everyone smoked nonstop though. And the ending was really sad, and the way Briony justified herself as an old woman was just so wrong.

The one really creepy thing was the chocolate guy... The looks he gave that little girl were so believable

and they get married too. how weird.

It was the 30s. People didn't yet know the dangers of smoking; it was completely realistic for everyone to be smoking that much.

Person above me: They didn't get married...they died. Did you watch the movie?

^ it was part of briony's fantasy, right?

i just saw the movie last night and absolutely loved it. it was definitely different from what i thought the movie would be like and i'm not sure if i liked the ending, but i really enjoyed the movie.

and james mcavoy is amazing.

I got this movie yesterday, because it was on sale, haha... but I plan on watching it later. I hope it doesn't make me turn into a baby

Yeah, Briony wrote it into her novel. She says it's the only way she can give a happy ending to her sister and Robbie...she never had the courage to tell her sister to her face what she had done. Robbie died of something (can't remember) during war and Cecilia died during The Blitz.

I was referring to Lola Quincey.

she's such a bitch.

i know! i was kind of hoping something would happen to her in the end.

me too!

Yeah she was like:

"Yes. Yes I saw it with my own eyes."

Me: NO YOU DIDN'T STFU BITCH.

Hahaha.

LMAOOOOO, i love how that quote is so on point.

The movie was really good. One of my new favorites.

My French teacher said the movie sucked. The plot drags long and slow to see/know the good stuff, she says.

I thought it was great, the camera work in the movie was phenomenal. And I mean, c'mon. . James McAvoy? please. i was destined to love the movie.

^ God. James McAvoy is sexy.

Briony... possibly one of the most irritating characters I've ever seen, but that's coming from someone who doesn't watch movies all that much.

I was kind of dragged into watching the movie so I didn't enjoy it all that much, but the green dress was gorgeous.

^ loved how the dress was almost floating.

Apart from James McAvoy, that green dress was the greatest thing in the whole movie.

^indeed. but she looked too skinny
but i guess she's always that way.
