THE READER (2008)

Ralph Fiennes; Kate Winslet

In case you forgot what you were about to watch, the music reminds you
with a sad, reflective, melancholy number
Strange feel to it, a vague, anomie with a hint of distaste and paranoia
With the sexual relationship his world was changed, he was now a member
She decides whats best for both of them and leaves without a word
You don't see much penis in movies
It is fascinating in some strange way (the movie not his penis)
She, who neither writes nor reads is moved more than anyone by the words
Evocative, touching...the impossible love as a theme for great drama with
the most moral sincere person being the most castigated, an irony of
justice movie
Satisfying ending



"You don't matter enough to upset me"
"The more I suffer, the more I love"
"Leave life more beautiful than when you entered it"
"Let me show you where we're going
It's ok kid, I don't want to know"
"Julia, how wrong you can be" (RF to his daughter who thought the distance
between them was all her fault)
"What we feel is utterly unimportant, its what we do" (NO!!!)
"It's exciting because its justice"
"The question is not was it wrong but was it legal"
the Concentration "camps weren't universities, we weren't there to learn"
"It doesn't matter what I think or feel the dead are still dead"
