Atonement (2007)

Atonement, 4 out of 4 stars


Keira Knightley stars in "Atonement", a very beautifully made flick.

Atonement, directed by Joe Wright who brought you "Pride And Prejudice" in 2005. This movie is based on the novel by Ian McEwan. This movie is starring by Keira Knightley, James McAvoy etc. This movie is one of the few great adaptation along this few years. This movie contain old fashioned love story with modern psychology and storytelling. This movie also using alot of flash back. The movie shows the flash back after the point of view of the person and the flash back shows you the exact meaning of that scene. The acting is perfect especially Keira Knightley and the newcomer, Saoirse Ronan. Their acting is totally fit to their character, so I'm sure both of them will win for the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress in Academy Awards. When you watching this movie, there isn't have the meaning of atonement until you reach the ending. The full meaning of atonement is clear at its conclusion, this kind of ending is very unique and is good by putting it in this film.

Overall: "One of the best drama/film in 2007"

Atonement was a great flick; it looked and felt a lot like Pride and Prejudice… come to think of it, both movies have the same director, leading lady, both are based on books and both take place in England
