Atonement: The Movie

As I've said before, Atonement is one of my favorite books by a contemporary author. After watching BBC's Daniel Deronda last weekend, I was doing a little research on Romola Garai, who played one of the main characters. I like her after seeing her in I Capture the Castle (which consequently is a terrible movie adaptation of the book...awful). So what is my point? Well, I noticed she's going to be in the movie adaptation of Atonement. Bleh. They're turning it into a movie. Bleh. With Keira Knightley. Bleh. I'm not sure how I feel about that. So much of the book consist of the characters' inner dialog or thoughts. I'm not sure how they're going to carry that off. I hope they don't butcher it. (On a side note though, I think Romola Garai is a good choice for her character. And, although I hate to say it, Keira Knightley probably is too.)

If you haven't read the book yet, do it now.
