Nathan Fillion almost seemed a little shy at the start and then quickly relaxed once he realized how easy going and how much of a goofball Craig is. I've never seen Fillion seem even the slightest bit shy before
Sooo beautiful! Robbie and Cecilia's chemistry was off the chart and I was rooting for them, fuck birony hated her so much she destroyed lives, honestly while watching the movie If I was her I would've felt so guilty that I end up killing myself I couldn't live knowing what I've done
For me...this movie deserves a 9/10. Don't watch the trailer. Just go and watch the movie. It was... I have no words. James McAvoy and Keira Knightley played their part until they almost touched perfection, in my opinion. And the story is mindblowing...I even cried a little and had a...what the hell... I STILL HAVE a grudge on Briony. (I don't know if expressed myself right).
BRIONY, I don't know what "final act of kindness" bs she was talking about. And the nerve to be a succesful author and use their lives for your book. F**K YOU and F**K people like you.
Can a *child* being held responsible for something that was both out of her scope and a certain set of unfortunate circumstances?? Certainly not by law.
@@McLarenMercedes she literally had THREE years to decide when she was not a "child" anymore. It was the question of an INNOCENT life. She chose to destroy him out of her jealousy. And she never ever made up for her shit. She deserves zero sympathy.
I don't feel sorry for Briony. She had an opportunity to atone for her sin & she chose not to because as she said she was "too much of a coward". Now decades later, after everyone has died & there is no one to shame or chastise her she confesses through her book. Her confession feels contrived & it makes me wonder had she not developed dementia would she had even publicized her "book of confessions"? No....I do not think so.
my theory is even if Briony had not came forward with her account. Robbie nevertheless would still have had to join the war. Their relationship would have developed more natural then again who can say
Now I'm getting the picture about why Firefly ended after one season. This was his FIRST talk show ever, and it was after Firefly and Serenity. The network just didn't know how to promote the show. So sad.
I met the producer of this movie and watched at a film festival 9 years ago and after that it was in IFC. since then it has been impossible to find and sadly there is another movie named the same name now on amazon prime.
...once the time had passed to the point beyond when atonement was possible, she spent the rest of her ironically long life unable to live with what had NOW become an irreparable mistake...making up endless stories about it, in futile efforts to justify (= the bleak succession of heart-breaking war scenes hi-lighting the MAJOR mistake of war). So that when her Executioner finally arrived in the form of encroaching Alzheimers, it was a relief 2 @ last b able 2 4GET what she had NOT done = atoned!
- not strictly speaking; the problem was, that she DIDN'T atone! So whole sequences of the movie are devoted to her fantasies about how things would've been better IF she had. The fact that she made a mistake (as a girl on the brink of womanhood, confused by conflicting & vengeful emotions=acting under pressure of those in a few foolish moments) wasn't the defining moment of her life - but b/c she DIDN'T DO what she COULD have done to rectify that 1 mistake AFTER it was made, WHEN she could have
Atonement. That means "great regret about something". Cecilia and Robert were meant to be with each other, but Cecilia's younger sister just ruined both her sister's and Robert's lives, also causing them to be killed (they served the war because of her). You see, this movie teaches us a great lesson about guilt. Tell the truth, and you will not have to face the guilt, like Cecilia's younger sister did her whole life, even as an older woman (showing in the last scene). Tell the truth.
