Numero Cinco ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
anything within the movie that is NOT from Briony's direct POV is probably fiction-within-the-movie?
Everything that happens after Robbie goes to jail is Briony's fictionalized account, IIRC. There are "real" facts sprinkled in, but the story is entirely told from her novel.

Like her becoming a nurse?

I think that was real. I feel like I read the book as everything past his real death was fictionalized but before that was real. It's been years though and I'd have to reread.

Well, I remember that in the interview at the end, she said that she had to get first-hand accounts of Dunkirk from people who were there, so I can see how that would have been fictionalized (i.e., even though it was pre-Robbie's death).
Okay. Making more sense now.
Keep... The... Cash... Cow... ALIVE!
Ooh. I'm all for that. They were going to do that with Goblet of Fire initially.
Deathly Hallows is going to be two movies, and David Yates is going to direct both parts.
Sweet! I'm in no hurry for it to be over.
There was just waaaay too much in DH for them to reduce it all down to one film. This way, they can leave in all of (whitefont for non-HP-book readers) the Horcrux hunt, the illfated trip to Godric's Hollow (which I think would have disappeared in a one-movie adaptation), and even the wedding in the beginning, which I still think is going to be Lupin/Tonks, not Bill/Fleur.

And that means that the block down the street will be doing a Harry Potter theme for Halloween for that much longer!
