Atonement

This movie has easily become one of favorite movies of all time.
I'm not sure whether it is based on a novel I've seen Atonement or not but I'm sure that both the movie and the novel will be fantastic just like The Cold Mountain which I adore.

But a favorite movie doesn't mean it good, at least not necessary. The story is about a girl who lies because of jealously. Briony the girl accuses her sister's lover a criminal. The effect of her evil act is that a couple of young lovers set apart, by society and by war but mostly by her false story. As we know in life, when you lie about something, you have to live with it and have to lie more and more endlessly. Atonement encapsulates all human's greed to a very beautiful and memorable movie. All the actors and actresses show their great ability. I'm still not sure whether it has been cut or not but the movie is too short, just an hour and a half proximately. And that is a very huge problem here. You need more time to elaborate such a profound story and such a beautiful and touching movie.

Watch the movie and you'll understand! This is not a personal statement or attack or sarcasm, it's in the movie!
