Atonement - SkyMovies' Behind the Scenes - Part 1

[stateathletics]

Is it just me or is Joe Wright hilarious. Not to name talented. Atonement is beautiful, on page and on screen.

[musicalrain30]

This movie is definitely a great addition to the history of greatest films ever made.. from the direction to the casting to the make-up.. and ofcourse, the book and story being the hero..

I gotta say though.. James McAvoy never fails to awe me even more with his every movie..

even his cheesiest movie -- Bollywood Queen -- seemed to have substance once he came into the framce

[JemiNotJustADream94]

my name is Briony...same spelling also!! just saying lol !! and this movie is epic lol

[ituber09]

i think the movie ws pretty predictable... i knew i wud turn out like tht midway.... very very sweet movie tho

[MoveOverCasanova]

all these "SOOO sad i cried" sound a bit like they never ever thought about that the atrocity of war is a cold reality

[lfcqueen123]

The book was better!

[PUNKandDISORDERLY93]

i SOBBED my heart out!! And i NEVER cry at movies!

[HazieRox]

i have to admit i never cry either, but the end of the movie, i was in a fit of tears, and called my friend, absolutley SCREAMING at her. This is the best movie ever.

[lisahobod]

I just watched this amazing movie. It has everything-drama, romance, suspense. But it is soooooooooooooo sad it hurts.

[sharkobambino]

Thanks for this! Yet, I have not seen this movie yet.

Can a kind soul upload it? It'd be much appreciated.

[sharkobambino]

I'd love to see the whole film... any chance someone might upload it soon? Would be forever grateful.

[Konfizzled]

It has been uploaded! ^_^

I believe the username of the person who uploaded it is AtonementTheMovie. You can search them, or just search Atonement Part 1. Hope that helps! :)

[artisticcancerian]

Robbie is 'angelic' indeed.

[ilovegayrainbows]

i havent read the book or seen the movie yet. but i will, mark my words. haha :D

i cnt wait though

[notminders]

I'm astonished how much I love this movie but it's so painful that I don't think I'll ever be able to watch it again. Seriously, it physically hurts!

[EmpressLotus]

it's so sad and really moving...

[mvaldesa]

yess!! I watch this movie yesterday...oh! when the young sister tald the truth in the end...I cry!!

[BelleandSebby]

I know exactly how you feel. I was just thinking that before...it's a great, great film...but I don't think I can watch it again.

[BOHAA001]

the shot of james mcavoy's character at 4.59 is my favourite one of him in the whole film!

[backyard90]

best movie of 2007?! this is the best movie i have seen in several years, and it'll go down as one of the best films of this DECADE, at LEAST.

[ShayXReneeXSidle]

I'm shocked that the movies ending wasn't the same as the book...I like the book's better. I agree that the book was heartbreaking but in a very beautiful way.

[stupidishan]

i think they made the ending of the movie different from the ending in the book just for the veiwers who havent read the book would get a better understanding of what was happening, because in the end of the book briony thinks the truth, and i guess they thought it would be better to voice it in the movie.

[Rej90]

best movie of 2007! was sooo moving and really well acted..lots of tissues needed though! :)

[colonel4289]

oh, so wait, atonement isnt a true story? i thought it was, but now that i know its not, i can read the book without crying five times = )

[dansejentu]

I still cry while reading the book even though I've seen the film! The book is so amazing and heartbreaking, and you just feel so close and connected to the characters, and so involved with the story, that it really touches you. Or at least it did with me! I absolutely loved it. And the movie too, of course:D

[CeciliaTallis]

I loved it so much! I've seen so many videos about Atonement and, OH GOD, I can't wait until 17th January when it comes out in Russia!!! I love James!!!!!! He is so damn cute!!!

[johnnydepprules251]

i love this movie but why does it have to be so sad

[Bassis1234]

KEIRAAAAA!

[WoefixProductions]

I'm going to see this next Tuesday. I can't wait. I'm reading the book now and i love it! It's very rich, very well written and detailed.

[Naughtygrl2013]

i can't wait to see this movie i read the book so its relly going to be somethin to look forward to

[purple2mk]

ha-ha the direct was like f--- to james,I wonder if the ending will be the same as the novel's.

[pixiebite]

just for hineauahi's information...

in the book the older briony says basically all that youve just said...

she says "how can a novleist acheive atonement when she is in reality also god. with the power to decide outcomes." i was mad when that line wasnt in the movie.

[hineauahi]

I've posted a response to this down below. Perhaps the book did deal with this issue in greater depth than the movie, but that would I guess mean that the movie's storyline was let down by that aspect.

[Orbster25]

Wow those kids are hell of actors..

[petibree]

nicely shot, well acted. Pity the story is crap.

[Orbster25]

how is the story crap?...did you read the book?

[hineauahi]

The story's crap because you can hardly call it Atonement. The protagonist atoned in her own good time under her own terms in a manner that was completely ineffective for those who were aggrieved, or even the majority of her audience, which, in my opinion, made her look self indulgent and ego-centric. Even the manner in which she "atones" by apparently doing the right thing still accredits the eventual (fake) happiness of the couple to herself, in an act that she never did.

[Orbster25]

again..read the book first..when you read the book you will realize that it was too late for her to atone in anyway..she lost the battle...she never did ever get to make amends....she surely does make that clear. That does not make her fake..that makes her if anything realistic....because she knows now that no matter how hard she tries atonement will never come...but who am I kidding..you will stick to your opinion of course as most people do...oh well...hope you have time to give it a read..

[hineauahi]

I'd love to have time to read a number of books for leisure, unfortunately now that the movie's been a let down I don't see reading that book as a priority....

[hineauahi]

and no I haven't read the book but that doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on the storyline of the movie. The book would have to be pretty different for me to change my mind about that aspect of the storyline. False sexual allegations absolutely destroy lives. It's all very pretty and "nice" to say that she wrote a story (after they died) with a happy ending, but to someone who has been through it in reality, it comes off as weak and ineffective.

[Orbster25]

you defend yourself too much..gotta lighten up. I just asked why..i didn't say you shouldn't say what you think..jee..

[hineauahi]

No, I think you're reading into what I've said too much. What I mean to say is that my opinion is on the storyline of the movie, not the storyline of the book. I accept what you and pixie say about the book being different... but lacking that in the movie, still makes the movie's storyline crap... imo.

[shmanya]

"i can't think of another character in cinema which has been played by three different actors. two, yes...but not three"

i can think of one. Ashton Kutcher's character in The Butterfly Effect.

[cinevita]

Edith Piaf in "La Vie En Rose"

[Orbster25]

well...it wasn't as good as this! You can actually feel that this woman is the the women who played her...that's what he really meant.

[Mattbrain]

6:56. Oh no she di'n't!

[mairawi]

i cant believe the girl who plays briony is irish

her accent is so good

[Crazyelf007]

The sex scene in this movie is VERY uncomfortable. Every one in the cinema were just like *cough* ahem...and staring in different directions.

Made me laugh!

[dancerofsky]

You are so rigth in our cinema too... And special where the sister is coming all the people *cough* And hope that this never happen with them... in the scene where the sister broynie is in the hospital with all the hurt man.. A girl pass out!!

The movie was so diffrend to the trailer... BUt it was good!

DancerofSky

[bluesalad]

lol I know exactly what you mean! lol

[madzn42]

hahah especially with your grandma... that was a fun evening. not at all uncomfortable. hahah lucky for me my nana was like "i only hope your men are just as good looking!"

[Sophia913]

is it really that uncomfortable cause i was going to see it with a friend but now i'm not that sure anymore

[R0CK0Nbaby]

I didn't think it was uncomfortable at all. It's really short and nothing is bared. It's really more of an intense and abrupt make-out scene. Do watch it with your friend, it's just amazing.

[backyard90]

that would be my exact reply!

[samxXx1986]

omg shes irish i would hav neva guessed

[gwendolyn6]

From what I understand, it is a very heated moment. I think it is a good looking and romantic love scene. I cannot wait to see it in the theater in the US, but we have to wait until December.

[sobia22]

is the sex hot in this movie?

[radeakins]

Excellent, I was in this movie

[twinklyfairy]

what were you in it?

[radeakins]

Yes, I was one of the extra from Grimsby and I was at the set in Redcar. I'm even in the trailer.

If you check my videos, i made a slideshow of the extras from grimsby.

[cockerless]

Thanks for uploading this.
