Atonement
- Commentary: Under construction.
My Florida Sister enthusiastically recommended this movie to me when it first came out, or thereabouts. She's not "into" movies the way I am, so when she recommends one to me, I sit up and take notice. At the time, though, my mother and I were negotiating what turned out to be her last year of life. Many situations were cropping up, including a diagnosis of lung cancer, setting up and carrying out a long term hospice situation for her here at home, and, you know, living day-to-day while squeezing as much joy and good feelings out of every single moment. I kept the movie on my mind's back burner, but, even after my mother died, I, well, kind of forgot about it, despite my sister's frequent insistence that I needed to watch it.
Fast forward to a little over a week ago, when I was preparing a list for that famous, site wide sale that is held every year in July. Oddly, I was reminded of the movie because it came up in a list of movies I frequently access with the intent to purchase. But, I hadn't, yet. Well, this year, I added it to my I'm-going-to-get-this-and-watch-it list. And, now, it is on it's way to me and should be arriving next week. I'm very excited and will watch it the day it arrives. That is my promise to the movie, myself and My Florida Sister. And of course, I'll write about it as soon as I've digested it, which may involve a couple of back-to-back watchings.
And then, I'll call My Florida Sister.
