This was a good movie in some aspects. It stars Keira Knightley as a wealthy English young woman, and James McAvoy as the son of workers at the home set before and during WWII. They come from different backgrounds, but are attracted to each other and don't want to admit it. The movie starts and then shows the events of a few hours before to show how it got where it did. It does this throughout the movie and is kind of interesting. This was a good movie, but the end is a bit depressing. I always like a nice happy ending and this one isn't there. I guess that makes it more dramatic and emotional. The movie is about the relationship between Keira Knightly and James McAvoy's characters. A series of events that Keira's character's 11 year old sister witness leads to a huge misunderstanding and the changing of all lives involved. It starts out so small, but she puts all the clues together in the wrong way forever changing her sister's life. It is interesting to see how the movie plays out. You really feel for the characters and have an emotional connection with them. I guess this is the part that makes the movie good. It was depressing throughout, and yet still a good movie. I would recommend watching it, but not for a happy ending.
