I really liked Atonement. It's a war story, which is always somewhat depressing and awful, and it's also a love story of the slightly tragic bent.
I suspect I enjoy tragic love stories because it makes me appreciate what I have in my life. It makes me realise that I am very lucky to have Lee and it is highly unlikely that he will be forced to go to war and get blown up, shot or otherwise massacred.
It was a beautiful movie, so well shot and the costumes were so gorgeous (want that green dress!) and I just read that the sequence of James Mcavoy exploring the Dunkirk settlement was one 5 minute long shot. Impressive, and very very cool.
I cried quite a bit, because I am a giant wussy wussbag who cares too much about people who don't even really exist.
I am reading the second book of the Enola Holmes series, The Left Handed Woman and it's really good too.
