After a long delay, i finally got to watch the movie Atonement with Jason last Sunday. In a previous post, I mentioned I was looking forward to the opening of the movie and was originally going to watch it with my bezzie, Melissa, but she somehow convinced me (she really should be in sales or marketing) to watch Into the Wild instead. That was also a good movie, although my sympathy only ran so far for the guy (spoiled burbs kid who took off without telling his parents to find "happiness," only to find out that happiness is only real when it's shared).
Anyway, Atonement - fabulous, best movie of the year. I can't believe I waited two months to see it. Cinematography was incredible - the Dunkirk scene will probably be analyzed and part of film school curriculum from now on (do you think Ryan?). The acting, especially by Saoirse i-forgot-her-last-name-but-somehow-remember-how-to-spell-her-first-name, was phenomenol. I really wanted to punch that little girl in the face. poor robbie. poor cecilia.
I also realized how lucky I am. I guess sometimes I take things for granted, ie. Jason, and this movie sort of reminded me that there are people out there who aren't as lucky, due to unfavorable or sad circumstance.

This movie totally deserved the BAFTA and should have won best picture at the american oscars.
AND.

i was hoping you were going to say you somehow got james mcavoy's phone number or something really important like that!?!
hehehe...i still have to see it, but it's hard to convince these people around here to see it.
"these" people?
do they only watch high school musical or step up 2 kind of crap movies? that sucks.
I haven't seen "Atonement", so I can't say if it'll be on future film school curriculums or not...but I can say with 100% certainty that "G.I. Joe" will be. If the first week of photography is any indication, we're headed for a full sweep at the Oscars in 2010. Including best animated film and best foreign film.
We're that freaking good.
