The · life · of · a · cow

Just got back from watching Atonement at the flicks and bloody hell if that isn't one of the best films I've watched in ages.

It's one of those films you can't say too much about as it would spoil it, but one scene I can write about is the much praised Dunkirk scene.  The entire scene is one cut and it is seriously impressive, I've read that it captures the exact spirit of what that day was like (it is the complete opposite of Saving Private Ryan), the tension of the lads waiting to get home but unable to, the grouping together to find strength in one another, some relying on faith, some fighting amongst themselves, others just getting pissed and trying to make the best of the situation.  One comment I read is that it is visual poetry, however you describe the scene, it is one that will stay in my memory for a long time to come.

As for the rest of the film, yes the story was very strong, the acting was top notch from everyone (even Keira!), this is a film I won't forget in a hurry.
