"I'm very, very sorry for the terrible distress that I've caused you. I am very, very sorry..."
Joe Wright's interpretation of Ian McEwan's literary masterpiece, "Atonement" is one of the best book-to-movie adaptations I have ever seen.
Tim Villarica lent me the book a week ago and I'm still on the 4th chapter, so I decided to download the film instead and read the book later.
A love story that has levels that are not meant to be understood by the likes of the (mis)educated girl on the bus, Atonement explores the story of a little girl's mind that is able to create characters and scenes. Then one is led to a web of a narrative that blurs the line between fiction and reality. A writer who's mind runs on fiction, tears lives apart and ultimately, cursing two hearts beating.
Excellent cinematography, score and acting, that is Atonement.
Watch/read it and let me know what you think. :)
Litterbug: does this say that writers are very good weavers of lies?!?! hahahaha :p
Dan, we missed you in BS today.
ReplyDeleteAlso, just want to point out a faulty link, the one for Abi Fernan says "blospot". HAHAHAHA.

God bless you, Dan! =D
(And in fairness, read about the girl in the bus. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.xD Panalo ka talaga!)
