atonement

i started buying dvds again. 50 pesos lang naman eh. mukhang maa-addict na naman ako. una kong nakita un movie na 'to nung pinanood ko un academy awards. and dahil cutie si james mcavoy, i try kong bilin un dvd.

the movie is really good. i also like keira knightley especially when she's playing a character in a movie like this -- somewhat like pride and prejudice. i really like her there. i prefer her in movies like this kaysa sa pirates of the carribean trilogy or un isa when she played as a bounty hunter.

the story is about cecilia (keira knightley) and robbie (james mcavoy). cecilia is a daughter from a wealthy family and robbie is the son of a housekeeper. robbie works with cecilia's family and cecilia's father is putting him in school. they fell in love with each other but they were separated when robbie was accused of molesting cecilia's younger cousin. cecilia's family suspected him because of briony's lies. briony is cecilia's younger sister who is an aspiring writer/novelist and has a crush on robbie. robbie was imprisoned but the government gave him two options -- to stay in prison or go to war. he eventually went to war and after 3 and a half years, robbie and cecilia met and they planned a better future for them. their love story ended sad.

the story is different from other love stories i've seen before in a movie. overall, the movie is excellent...
