  • It was a hell of a lot better than the rest of the crap that came out that year. When the brits want to, they get the job done. And atonement was a perfect example of what to do right in cinema. Should've gotten more recognition.

  • I also loved this movie but felt misled. It wasn't a passionate love story as advertised. It's a tragedy of lives destroyed. We barely witness their feeling for each other before their world is turned upside down.

  • Interesting review. Great, if devastating, movie.

    On tracking shots, probably the most technically accomplished is the opening shot in Snake Eyes, a truly awful picture. Goes to show that great shots don't make great movies. Personally, I always get a bit suspicious whenever I notice any shot too much at the expense of the story or performances.

    Exception: the shot across the dancefloor onto the drummer's face at the end of Hitchcock's Young and Innocent. Deserves to be better known.

  • @DimpleScot and Chris Nolan.

  • Some directors should just be given lots of money to make movies no questions asked. Joe Wright is one of them, others include Clint Eastwood, Steven Spielberg, Mel Gibson, Peter Mullan, Peter Jackson, Lynne Ramsay and Ridley Scott.

  • Not just cinema, well it does fall in there, is cinematography technique. The glossy look of water flirting with the sunlight, or the track shot of Dunkirk via Steadicam suggests real professional technique and helpful storyline reinforcement. It was a beautiful film. I mean im a dude but this was a great film. I loved it

  • If by horrible you mean great, then I agree lol.

  • Marcia's lookin hot here.

  • i love death defying acts by the way marcia!
