Atonement the film. Personal review.

I did not read the book so, I do not have any pre concieved ideas
about it.
I am going to see it tonight at a cinema somwhere in Surrey.
It starts at 20:00 and will last 123 minutes. It is rated 15.
you can find out the synopsis of the film and other info. about it
including free clips on www.atonementthemovie.co.uk
I will probably come back and let you know what I thoght of it.
I am not getting paid for this nor have I been asked to do this
it will be an honest opinion of a film lover.
The book was written by Ian McEwan and you can get it at...why
don't you do a little bit of googling yourselves you lazy lot...
watch this space...later...
The film barely touches on the English class system and rightly concentrates on the tale
The plot is easily followed throughout the film. The story line flows with out fail.
It’s a little slow at first and later picks up.
The photography was superb. So was the idyllic setting.
The set of the scene in Dunkirk must have been a project in its own right.
Costumes and make-up will be appreciated by fans of the red lipstick and very feminine clothes. Will we be seeing the return of the suite for the men?
Mild sexual scenes.
Moderate amount of swearing.
And although set in war time no battle scenes and not much blood.
For me the most disturbing scene was the shooting of the horses. There was no blood
and it was mostly implied rather than graphically portrayed.
The story profound as it was failed to pull me in. All I could feel for the heroes was sympathy. Given the fact that at the moment I would easily have cried for anyone
having an emotional problem, I did not shed one tear.
The characters were mostly wooden, un stretched, not elasticised enough for their emotional potential.
I personally believe it to be the result of the direction.
The Director Joe Wright has done wonderful things on the small screen including the b.b.c as well as on the big screen. You can find out about his achievements on online.
The film will be a great commercial success but, did it touch me? did it stir and move me?
it should have. after all the film is dealing with emotional issues as well as morals.
Am I glad I went out to see it? Yes
Would I like to see it again? No.
Should you go and see it? I would probably say yes because it’s the best thing of its
genre in the cinemas at the moment.
Make sure you see it at the largest screen you can . The photography is on a large scale
and the sound is big.
