Atonement

Confusing.

That would be the first adjective that comes to mind.

Sad.

That would be the second.

And yet . . .

I keep thinking about it.

I find that oftentimes that's the mark of a good movie. That idea first struck me in connection with Silence of the Lambs which I saw on Valentine's Day and hated when I walked out of the theater but then thought about non-stop for the next week.

Atonement's not quite that thought provoking but it does stay with one.

I'm glad I saw the movie before I read the book because I think the movie profited from my not knowing our destination.

While not light-hearted entertainment, I would recommend it.

Now I'm off to read the book . . .
