Atonement

Either something is wrong with me, or very right with me, beucase everywhere I go, I think of something to blog about. The music and art is everywhere!

I just got home from seeing the movie "Atonement," which is up for seven Academy Awards, including best picture. It's been a while since I've seen a really good movie, and I swear, Saoirse Ronan's stare is haunting my dreams that i haven't even dreampt yet. What I really want to 'blog' about though, is the backround music.

For those of you who haven't seen it, (please do) a symbol of the plot is a typewriter, since a typed note is pretty much what brought on all the trouble. To delve deeper into that symbol, both sight and sound are stimulated along with the high tension music and that eerie typewriter sound.

The horror of "Atonement," lurks in the mystery of Briony's mind, the historical setting, the difference between real and fantasy, and nothing making sense until the end. It was creepy-scary.

I felt "Atonement" was a fair mix of "The Sixth Sense" and "Gone with the Wind."
On the drive home I couldn't stop saying how incredible it was, and how genious the writer of the screenplay is, just raving about it all together.

I'm going to attempt to go to sleep now, hopefully I won't have nightmares.
