Atonement
Only eight U.K. military ambulances from World War II remain, and this movie made use of them all.,Any apparent continuity errors in the fountain scene - the position of the vase, the tennis shoes, Robbie's sitting position, Cecilia's strap slip, the buttons on her blouse etc. - are not what they seem: we are seeing the same event in different ways through different pairs of eyes.,Cecilia Tallis: I love you. I'll wait for you. Come back. Come back to me.,The title types itself out like on a typewriter.,Featured in Friday Night with Jonathan Ross: Episode #13.1 (2007),Clair de Lune
Written by Claude Debussy

Courtesy of Sanctuary Records Group Ltd,We are such a fragile race, so affected by the shifts of a societal breeze. A child misinterprets what she sees and brings about the destruction of people she actually loves. So caught up in her dramatic wants and angry, she lies, and that lie haunts her for her remaining days. This is a movie version of a wonderful book, the best I read that year. It captures the pain and the need to make true restitution. The truth of the matter is that sometimes it just doesn't work that way. The characters come to realize that. It's a slice of life in wartime and all the chickens come home to roost. Probably the most gut wrenching thing is that the character that causes the most damage has great success in life, but carries around her guilt to her dying day. She is never allowed to truly enjoy things. This is a really fine movie and, except for some breaks in editing, does a nice job of presenting the issues in the novel.,
