annwfynAnother film review - a group of us went to see Atonement last night.
I liked a lot of it, but found it, in some ways, a very unsatisfying film. There was very little narrative - something happens in the first section, and the final message of the film seems to be that no one ever recovers from that, and maybe that atonement isn't possible.
I'm a sucker for a happy ending, I know, and it was a bit mournful to realise that the two characters who really do nothing wrong are entirely destroyed by the story. On the other hand, it was a beautifully shot and very well told story, which probably makes up for it, in part.
In other news, my sleeping patterns are being odd. I was asleep on my feet from 10 pm last night, and then woke up at 8 am with a head full of confused thoughts. I'm still finding these stray thoughts running around my head.
I wonder how these patterns will adjust now I'm back at college.
