[Timed to October 17. ] Having suspected something was going on with his sister, Leon came to call upon the Turners , who are less than impressed with his presence. Leon learns that Cecilia is pregnant but is unable to make amends with either her or Robbie.

That's seriously what I'm saying, and I must remember to apologize to a friend for not believing her when she said I'd hate the ending of Atonement . Hated it is a little too light; I despised it because...solo book! "Clair de Lune," oh how I hate and love it in all its hard-to-play, beautiful glory.  I suppose that's enough for now. I'd better get some piano practice in before I go on my tutoring job.

Well, it's been a while! I found this interesting article about Robbie Turner, and how the character was played by James, in the words of Joe Wright, Ian McEwan, and James himself... ROBBIE...this sequence, he was moving through it all and reacting - which, in a way, is the hardest kind of acting. Robbie witnesses a lot, and James conveys his inner state brilliantly.”

The Phantom of the Opera , as it is, still haunts me in its eerie tone to this day

Starting just before he realised Cecilia was on the island, Robbie had begun a regimen of morning runs on the beach. He had been one of the few in basic training who had not minded the daily physical regimen... he would feel a great deal better if she did not have to walk so far to the necessities of the compound. [find Robbie running on the beach in the early morning or headed back home after his run!]

People can't seem to get enough of it, so... More "100 Things I learned from "ATONEMENT"! ;-) 100) When yelling for a 13 yr old that is running through a field (because you just realized she is...car that is taking her son to jail. 2) Library sex is so mind-blowing, you can ride off those fumes for a few chaste years afterwards. 1) There is no Briony.  

Um breve comentário sobre o filme que capturou meu coração e mente...   É muito bom perceber que o cinema ainda é capaz de produzir arte, de ser o que o cinema vem se propondo ser há anos - sensorial...como a chama de um fósforo. Brilhante e breve, a vida de Robbie Turner.   Classe, muita classe - é o que 'Atonement' tem de sobra.

As soon as Cecilia finds out the results of her pregnancy test, she gives Robbie the happy news , and he's so thrilled that he doesn't know how to act. Backdated to earlier this month and still ongoing.

Now we have some thoughts about Robbie and Cecilia, Briony and her terrible crime...did she atone or didn't she? What made a 13 year-old girl accuse a man of a crime he didn't commit? Or did she really...literary success. The effect of the novel is as contagious as Briony's hysteria from her encounter with the adult world of cunts and maniacs. Can I say I love this novel too many times?
