I like the movie (Atonement) BETTER than the book!

LOL!

I didn't read the book, but I just watched this movie and it was wonderful! Romantic, but in a way that even this old sack of flesh thought "oh...sigh."

I liked the details, when you watch Briney's version of the situation as a young girl, then the flashback to what actually happened. At one point, I said...Ohhhhh, that's what she saw...I wondered.

You were right, Keira is a good actress. She's so interestingly beautiful, too.

Yay for the Odd Lots Archives.

edit: oops, Briony.

I didn't really like Atonement all that much, but I did enjoy the same story being told from different perspectives.
