Don't see it.

I think Joe Wright has a particularly interesting style that he failed to carry through with on The Soloist.  Pride & Prejudice and Atonement both look and feel very similar, and what I like about the camera direction is that it felt very fresh and unlike any other filmmaker at the moment.  Much of the time, Wright can make a single shot tell a small story, not just frame an actor or location artfully.  He impresses me more than most directors at the moment.

Fair enough.

So far im around 26-1 down but im still having it.

If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see me through.
