My Comment:
I hesitated watching this movie, because I knew that I would shed a tear. But, I must say, this movie was incredibly good. With the World War 2 background, it turned to be more dramatic. Spoiler Alert! I was relieved that Robbie and Cecilia both died, then they wouldn't feel hurt for losing. And the only redemption that Briony could do was writing about her mistakes. Keira and James played wonderfully, I wish that they could be together in real life. I think that this movie has a brilliant script, it's beautiful. In addition, the original score was fantastic.

My Comment:
I was really excited because i was hoping to have a great happy-ending romantic movie. It turned out, it didn't satisfy me as a whole. Even though I found that the romantic scenes between Amanda and Christopher were limited and somehow "unbelievably-romantic-story" for just in days, this movie turned out okay. I still got the romantic breezes, felt touched, and the most important thing is, the leading artists are gorgeous. Christopher Egan is undoubtedly hot!
