Atonement

I caught the show yesterday and felt it was quite good. It should be, having garnered the Golden Globe award for best motion picture for drama.

The story was very sad, with flashbacks and a tragic romance told (get ready some tissue). I won't say it's haunting, but I liked the story very much. It's a show that you would reflect about after (I like this kind of shows) and the story just stays in your mind, well, my mind at the least. It's not your usual kind of tragic love story in the circumstances of how 2 lovers were separated.
As I thought about the show after, the story grew on me and the impact of the sad affair filled me, and though the show is about atonement, the way it's done makes one feel the gap/void in the heart which was created and the reality that atonement could never truly be attained.

Of course, there was James McAvoy too! I remember him from Children of Dune which was a TV miniseries I caught on Hallmark channel a couple of years back and Macbeth, a TV movie I watched on Hallmark channel, the latter being a modernised version of the play, set in a kitchen, where he played Macbeth, the chief chef. I just realised that he was Mr. Tumnus too.

It was interesting too, the use of the typewriter sounds.
