Better Late..

I am well aware that I am behind the times but I just watched Atonement. It broke my heart.

I haven't seen it but I would like to. Thanks for the reminder.

Yes, I seem to miss a great many movies because I prefer TV. (Plus, I get more bang out of my Netflix buck when a disc has several TV episodes and when you consider turnaround time which isn't too bad but still exists)

Yeah. But now you should read the book! Reading the end was like a punch to the gut.

Dammit, I should have used my Briony icon. I love girl Briony to pieces.

[gateslacker.livejournal.com]

Ha! I've seen that icon before and really liked it, even if I didn't know where it was from.

Yes, now I have to read the book. I hope the local library has it.

ETA: Off topic, but have you seen a YT video called "Jane Austen Fight Club"? Too funny....

And I am reading it now though it has been slow going. Probably because it is a painful read now that I know where it is going.

Ah. I'm not sure where you are in the book, but the film annoyed me a little for drastically compressing Robbie's story in France. Of course, that part isn't particularly FUN to read. It just made me love him more.

I haven't reached that part yet but, now that you mention it, those parts did seem rather brief, comparatively.

Oh, I know! :(

And reading it is breaking my heart in advance!
