good evening! i finally got around to watching atonement this afternoon which is fairly new to DVD (the film garnered 7 academy award nominations including best picture) i wasn't overly excited to watch it but oh my gosh - i freakin' LOVED it! the film held my attention the entire time - i thought the performances were excellent and the oscar-winning score was beautifully haunting! i also didn't realize legendary actress vanessa redgrave had a small part in the film - she should have been nominated for best supporting actress - ms. redgrave doesn't have a lot of screen time but she blew me away in the last few minutes of the film! of course being a sometimes over emotional person i totally had a nervous breakdown by the time everything was said and done - oh my gosh i so wished i had seen atonement in the theaters (although crying in public can be embarassing) i liked it way better than no country for old men which walked off with the best picture oscar earlier this year! if you haven't seen it already - i can't recommend it enough! i certainly didn't expect to like it as much as i actually did yet that's how it usually goes for me...the films that get me all pumped up usually disappoint and the ones i don't have much interest in seeing always surprise me! anyways i hope everyone is enjoying their weekend - popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
I have to tell you I almost did not go see ATONEMENT...I had saw the trailer and thought 'Oh wow more MASTERPIECE THEATER stuff' which I can see for free on Sunday. Who ever cut the trailer should be shot...it did not do justice to the greatness of the movie...the truth as Vanessa finally tells it at the end is devastating BUT real...and James McAvoy...I never did get his supposed sex appeal...but now I do. Finally you are not the only person who complained about NO COUNTRY...most of my co-workers hated it AND it was a co-worker of mine who 'made' me go see ATONEMENT. And yeah it was amazing to watch on the big screen especially the beach scene at Dunkirk.
