Atonement

Another review, another post!

Yesterday sembang2 with my new girlfriend ( I am glad saying that,hahah) about books. Then somehow sembang lak pasal movies. Then I brought up Atonement. This movie actually kluar about 2,3 years go but I just bought the vcd (dvd version primitive,hahah) . Not actually just bought. Beli kat Endah Parade kat Sri Petaling time keje kat IMU dulu. Time tu Guardian ade wat sale clearance. Ntah macamana ntah depa boleh jual vcd jugak.Ahaks. Bought at a bargain price. 1 vcd only RM5. So I bought Atonement dengan Seabiscuit. I’ve seen Seabiscuit before so I bought the vcd just for fun. And I bought Atonement just for the curiosity because it said it was nominated for 7 Academy Awards kat cover of the vcd. Must be good I said.

But do not know why, after bought it I never got the chance or the interest to watch it. Simpan buat pekasam only. Then yesterday came and it got me thinking, might as well watch it tonight. I don’t know why but lately if I talk about something with my girlfriend, she directly inspires me to do what she says. It’s weird. But this is not about that so move forward. Haha.

So malam tu aku pasang ler cite Atonement ni. No problem la since my bro yang slalu hogs the tv tu outstation so senang nak lepak depan tv. Firstly, the movie was very slow. Aiyo. Kalo yang softcore tu I bet mesti tido dah or at least meroyan tensen tgk. Somehow, the game changer scene came. After that scene, it all went uphill from there. The musical score was hauntingly appropriate and the acting was superb from all the cast. Love the Tallis character. She’s the center of all character. Her character ignited the interest for me to actually read the book. And yes, I will add this book in my To-Read List even though I’ve watched the movie already.

But there were downsides as well. Two of them. Can someone tell why I have not notice before that Keira Knightley’s boobs are so damn small? Hahah. Don’t get me wrong. She is perfect in this movie but Scarlett Johansson might be a better choice to attract the male audience. Or at least Natalie Portman. Hahah

The two 'major' problem of the movie. Pun very intended.Haha

I give this movie 9 out of 10. Love the ending as well. The ‘did not see that coming moment’ were all over the movie.

Current mood : Ketagih Uphamol coz pening kepala. ARGKGHZZ!!
