Atonement

The first half of this was so so good. It got me really tense. The rest kind of fell off because the dialogue was eh but i did enjoy this i love a period piece. I also love love love Keira Knightly. Briony did a good job of pissing me off. I’m guessing she kept that fuck ass haircut so she could stay a young girl who is still naive enough to think she can give her sister a “happy ending” when she genuinely caused her downfall. I will say i did like her character it was portrayed pretty well. Can’t say i would be jealous of my sister and her love and jump into a lake and sentence my unrequited love to die but that’s just me i think.  I really enjoyed the plot i plan to read the book. Not really happy with the ending but that’s the point. I do think she did NOT atone for anything, seeing that she continued to fabricate lies and mistruths condescendingly even in old age to forgive herself. She ruins her sisters and Robbie’s life and then turns into a bestselling author. And says that giving them a happy ending is merciful. Like fuck off.
