Brando:
That poster is horrible.

Loved Hanna and his Pride and Prejudice but couldn't finish Atonement though I liked the book. Hopefully the film is better than the trailer looks cause I really love the book.

Alexandro:
I saw the trailer with the sound off and it looks fantastic. I think I could stare at Keira's face without interruption for hours, yes she is beautiful but she also has this really weird face that looks great on cinema. I haven't seen that Hannah movie or The Soloist but Wright's tracking when pairing with Knightley is something to be excited for, as far as I'm concerned. To compare the guy with Zack Snyder is...i don't know, I guess I don't understand it. Snyder uses visual tricks to hide the superficiality of everything that happens in his movies...I remember when Pride & Prejudice came out someone around here said that it was as if Altman and Kubrick had made a period film and that was more like it. Wright has found a way to use the style to serve the story and characters, at least on those two films of his that I saw. I like it when period films have a distinct look and are not afraid of being stylish, without turning into Moulin Rouge.
