The Reader Movie

michael & hanna Just watch this beautiful movies when I got sicked yesterday. It’s a story about young German, David Kross who have an affair for older woman. Got separated and back reunited in a court room when the young German studied law school. The older woman, Hanna Schimtz who is played by Kate Winslet is being trial for her past work as a guard in a Consentration camp. She let a church burned down and do nothing while there are 300 people in it. The only thing that could save her from a life sentenced is her literateness.

The title came from the literateness of Hanna. She can’t read or write, that’s why she loved being read to. This film has many symbolic appearance, from the age differenciacy the boy and the older woman have to the setting where mostly building background are being construct. The age symbols the generation gap between childrens who is born after World War II and pre World War 2. The Development in building construction represent the Newly era of German post WW II.

I gave 5 star for maximum 5 for this film. Watching recommendation for this movie is not for children under 18, since half of the movie contain nudity and sexual scene. For those who happen to be a very sensitive person you might cry in the end of the movie. Just like titanic la…. hehehe…

The movie got many nominations, 5 nominations for best pictures And Kate Winslet is academy award for best actress, and golden globe award for best supporting actress. The original book got good review in 1999 in the opera book club. Compare to Slumdog Millionaire which also an adaptation from a novel, I belive this should win oscar. It’s much better.
