It's vintage lies. I try not to connect religion with the way I enjoy movies, thank you very much.

It may have been a well painted backdrop, only to tear it down at the end, but that's what stories are.

Ian McEwan is a damn good novelist. The movie is nowhere near Ian's book, but it has its moments, like the war beach scene, which is an amazing technical feat. Speaking of Dawkins, have you heard of expelled from Expelled?

You didn't see the atheist undertones?!

How the truth is not as optimistic as you thought?

Atheism in disguise? Then again, you'll probably see what you want to see :p

Count me in to those who actually liked the movie – even if it was a trudgingly slow effort.

Thanks for the tip Benj. I think from the preview, there's so much uncertainty about the film's twist so its ending will be disappointing if it is too predictable. I hope to get to watch it soon.

I haven't even started reading the book! Well, this just means I've got to get going and finish it before seeing the film.
