Things I love about Atonement–

-That it begins with a shot of a doll’s house and ends with a shot of a real house, except it’s not real, it’s all in Briony’s head, her own dollhouse for her dolls Cecilia and Robbie

-That Daniel Mays is in it, in an admittedly minor role

-That Briony walks like a robot- her older self does too- a robot walking to the sound of a typewriter

-That Saoirse Ronan is a brilliant, brilliant actress and is completely chilling and yet totally a real person in this

-That this film has one of the most beautiful soundtracks ever

-That Cecilia unwittingly seals her fate by stepping into water, and dies in water too- while Briony is saved from the water only to sort-of lose her soul

-That the question of whether or not Briony finds redemption keeps me up at nights
