The atonement
Recently I saw a couple of movies. The worthy one was the Atonement. Although I’m a known blockbuster lover, I found this movie very interesting. I must say that I like Keira Knightley very much, I consider her to be the best actress of the latest wave of worldwide celebrities. As an actress I consider her much better than Scarlet Johansson, although Scarlet is good enough and in no way she based her career in her looks only.
The above mentioned movie is interesting, the end will shock you, but will make you think a bit also about the important things in life, how bad a fatal mistake can bring, etc. It’s more about regret and sorrow that can not be heal. The entire cast is really good in my opinion and the plot is roll out in an original fashion. I liked the double perspective scenes, where can see the same situation from different angles. The little Briony sees things very differently from her sister, in many situations, before coming up with the wrong judgement. I must spend a few words in Keira Knightley, who I consider really good looking, original and fresh face. Her charm is from a past age, movies like Pride and Prejudice fit her in the best possible way. The skinny, shinny face that she’s got is clean and pure, hence the ladies role suits good. The fact that she’s from UK is a kind of miracle. I can’t remember of any attractive UK actress in the 90’s or after.
