Have you ever seen the movie "Atonement"?
If you haven't please proceed to your Netflix account
(or nearest Blockbuster if that's the case) and for the love of god, WATCH IT!
Ok, I have to admit that maybe this movie isn't for everyone.
Some people find it rather slow, but that's alright, because every frame is a work of art.
Each scene is impeccable and exquisite (I hate that word but I really can't find a better adjective),
god, the infamous green dress Keira Knightley
wears near the beginning of the movie is just too perfect.
I once read the silk was so pure and so fragile they had to
have an extra spare in case the fabric tored, ripped or something.
This green dress is what Scarlett O'Hara's green dress
was back in the Gone With The Wind Days.
Heck-it may just even be more beautiful than Audrey's Givenchy
black dress from the opening scene of Breakfast at Tiffanys.
Also, there's this amazing five-minute war sequence that was made in one shot.
It's just the kind of movie that when it ends you're just like "fuck..."
and that's all that you'll be able to say.
It's the kind of movie that, if you're anything like me, stays with you for a while.
Now, GO! watch!
