atonement

This is a line that Will Ferrell speaks in the movie Elf. I'm a big SNL fan in general and this line is priceless every time. Ferrell's character is obviously telling someone that they're a big fat liar. It's a funny scene, but I can't help but think these days that as a world, we're not serious enough about lying and dishonesty.

After recently watching the movie Atonement, I began to wonder what the meaning of the word really was. The definition of the word is this: satisfaction or reparations for a wrong or injury; amends. When I look at this, then look at the movie, then look into life, I begin to wonder how this all fits in to real life.
