Up for auction, an original DVD of this movie shown above. Original version of course, I will never sell bootleg or illegally made copies of any movie. The condition of this item is previously viewed but almost new. You'll see no difference between this movie and one you'd buy at a department store, except for the original shrinkwrap. I guarantee every item I sell, and if you have any problems at all, all you have to do is contact me and I will make arrangements to take care of whatever the issue. |

(F.A.Q.) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Every time I list a DVD I get asked the same 3 questions, so I thought I'd answer these up front to save a little time. This is true for every single previously viewed DVD I sell:
1. Is this an original DVD?
Yes, this is an original U.S. manufactured DVD. NO BOOTLEGS, DV9's, VCP's or any of those other weird things you find on ebay all the time.
2. Does it come with the case?
Yes, DVD comes with original case and any insert or paperwork that was originally included when the DVD was new. I can't imagine not sending one, but apparently there are some sellers who make this a regular practice to save on shipping.
3. Does it have any surface scratches?
No, I would never sell a DVD that I would not buy myself and be proud to display in my collection. I am very VERY picky about what I sell. I will not sell a DVD with big scratches or marks or thumbprints. The case must also be in near mint condition. Ask anyone who has ever bought from me, they will tell you. Our DVDs are top quality in near mint condition only. Many look like they are brand new and have never been played.
If you ever have any type of problem with any DVD I've sold, please email, we will take care of the situation quickly and efficiently.
Also, sometimes the Ebay provided details on DVDs are wrong. For example, sometimes they will list a DVD as widescreen when it is fullscreen. Sometimes they will have the wrong stock photo or include different features than what is actually included in the DVD. If this is critically important to you, then just send me a message through ebay's "contact seller" feature and ask any questions ahead of time. Most of our DVDs include the original chapter insert. Some DVDs don't as they originally did not come with one. I will be glad to provide any information you are interested in. The photo just above the Hal the goalie animation is going to be exactly what your DVD looks like.

| Movie description | On a sultry summer day in 1935, an upper-class British family prepares for a dinner party at their country estate. The players: Briony Tallis (newcomer Saoirse Ronan), a precocious preteen writer; her older sister Cecilia (Keira Knightley), Cambridge graduate and femme fatale; Robbie Turner (James McEvoy), the housekeeper's mensch-y son, who carries a torch for Cecilia; and various visitors and family members. A series of misperceptions, fueled by the summer heat and Briony's childish hurts and fevered imagination, lead to a dramatic false accusation that lands Robbie in jail. We meet all three characters five years later in the thick of World War II, as foot soldier Robbie prepares for the Dunkirk evacuation and the two estranged sisters train as nurses in London.
Director Joe Wright (PRIDE AND PREJUDICE) deserves high praise for translating Ian McEwan's highly internalized, multilayered tale of guilt, redemption, and the power and limits of the artistic imagination, into a sumptuous visual feast that not only conveys the intricate plot points of the novel, but dives headfirst into the emotional subtleties that make the story so wrenching. Whether any of the characters' actions are ultimately atoned for by the end of the film is a matter of perception, but Wright's sympathetic eye ensures that every player gets a fair trial. The young director favors long, lingering close-ups that trace every flicker of feeling--Ronan's luminous blue eyes clouding over with righteous gravity; the tremors of hurt and anger and love in McEvoy's sensitive face; the defiant jut of Knightley's jaw as it melts into tender affection. The honey-drizzled look of the first two thirds of the film contrasts achingly with the tension and seriousness of the action unfolding (and the grim intensity of the wartime sections), and the scenes on the beach at Dunkirk include some of the most masterly camera work of any recent film. ATONEMENT is a powerful story, retold in a way that even diehard fans of the book will appreciate.
