Atonement

Why is it that every great movie comes from a great book, and now I have to read it? Crap. I cried at the end, I'm still not sure if it is because of the movie or the underlying theme we can all relate to regarding forgiveness. Sometimes no matter what you do or the reasons you do things you can never achieve "atonement" for them. Perhaps the atonement that Briony received was her eventual death, maybe not. Keira Knightley has and always will remind me of my cousin Jessica, very pretty. I think the guy in this plays Jane Austen's lover in Becoming Jane, I like him who ever he is....I give Atonement 4 out of 5 typewriters.
