Readers of the novel claim that the romantic backs story between Robbie/Cecilia is not made known in the story.<BR/><BR/>I agree as the two seem to be very distant and indifferent as Cecilia says that the two run in different social circles when Briony asks why she doesn't talk to Robbie anymore.<BR/><BR/>Also, the Dunkirk scene didn't captivate me one bit. I think that it messes with the films pacing and is a bit too long.<BR/><BR/>All in all, Atonement is a very good film and enjoyed the country estate portion of the film the most. I gave it ***1/2 (out of 4). Good film but not great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9443873.post-4656227810540841472007-11-24T03:46:00.000+00:002007-11-24T03:46:00.000+00:00I'm glad you liked it.

One of those - if only someone had spoken up soap operas - but in the upper crust venue of Britain. Lots of odd flash/forward,flash/backs. Long dragged out war sequence that did not move the story along at all. <BR/><BR/>But beautifully shot, well-acted (kudos to Vanessa Redgrave), very atmospheric. But at its core, hollow and vapid.Melissa Westbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588239576000641336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9443873.post-64936855181347497542007-09-16T21:50:00.000+01:002007-09-16T21:50:00.000+01:00It sounds like an interesting movie to view.
