So I saw Atonement today.
And I have never had such a large range of emotions regarding a movie before.
I saw it with Nadia, and when the movie was finished, we just kind of looked at each other and made these faces. I'm not going to lie, I walked out of that movie saying, "That was horrible. It was horribly depressing and just horrible and it definitely did not deserve that five-star rating."
But... after I proceeded to think about it for the next hour, I gradually came to like it. I think it was all the flashbacks and fast forwards and time changes that threw me. And the fact that I couldn't understand what they were saying half the time. I understood the French better than I understood some of those accents. Cockney may as well be Arabic to me.
The movie was very good, extremely well directed, and the acting was wonderful. And it makes you think, which is great too.
But again, I'm not gonna lie -- Nadia and I walked into the end of Enchanted which was playing a couple of theaters down and watched the end. I needed a happy ending. All that water rushing into the tube station gave me chills that I couldn't get rid of. What an awful death.
The truth though? I didn't really cry that much. I cried harder during Forrest Gump (one of my all-time favorite movies).
And that's all I have to say about that.
