Atone home

I read in my Newsweek (the fall preview) about the upcoming film version of Atonement which is directed by Joe Wright (of that blah recent Pride and Prejudice) and stars Keira Knightley (of that blah recent Pride and Prejudice). Atonement is a novel by Ian McEwen which I read a couple of years ago. It's draggy and difficult at times but moved me [to depression] at the end. My main gripe is that I considered the younger sister the main character while the movie will probably feature Keira mostly more than the sister. I used to be on the Keira train, but we're over. She can take her skinny self and Orlando Bloom doppelganger boyfriend and hide out for a couple of years. Bend It Like Beckham rules because Keira plays second fiddle and doesn't get the boy. I love Parminder Nagra.
