The Reader
Ever thought how fortunate it is if you can read, read to someone, or even, being read to. This amazing film leaves you thinking: why reading, is more than just doing so? The chinese title of the film, 为爱朗读, already suggests why the main character reads to his lover everyday. The one word to describe the film is sad.
Anyway, Kate Winslet acted really well in the film, portraying the character in an artistic style. She has received award for this role as Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. The reason for this difference, is that she appears less frequently than a usual main actress would, yet the story revolves around her. For me, I think she's an obvious main actress, if not for these difference, I wouldn't even give it a thought. Oh yes, hope she could just win this Oscar!!
Why The Reader is worth the attention, and emotions?
1. It is easily the most melancholic romance film of the year.
2. The film leaves you realising that age gap is not the most important thing. (Character Hanna Schmitz is twice the age of her boyfriend, Micheal Berg)
3. To find out how a screen actor can act really like an old lady (when you're only in the thirties)
4. To hear views from the Nazis, rather than always saying how pathetic the commoners are; the prisoner guards are humans too, mind you.
5. To see Voldermort (Ralph Fiennes la!) in true form.
Oh yes, when you google to look for The Reader under image search, this picture below keeps appearing. Why? It's one of the few scenes, that Kate Winslet and David Kross are dressed when in this house. It's R21 for a reason, ya know! Actually I think this pict is boringggg.
Had this been a Singaporean production, David Kross won't be able to participate in the movie launch! This had happened once in singapura during movie launch of Home Song Stories. HAHA!
P.S/ This is my first time watching a R21 (illegally). OMG.
