RE: Atonement-----

The film was such a fraud. It tried to be English doily-drama, a bit of David Lean, and every 'Why must they go to War' movie rolled into one choppy, silly script.
The big, 'French-evacuation' SteadiCam extravaganza not only was completely wasted in the film, but drove home what an ego-excercise the whole thing was (the director himself said he only staged that enormously complicated scene to impress people.)

Also, why the little girl in the lead had to walk like a windup toy, I still don't get, uptight upbringing on her character's part or not.

And that mess got nominated for an Oscar.....

Best,
CC.
