the reader - movie review :)

The Reader - heavy but good

1. Kate Winslet was great. She makes an excellent old lady (and young lady, and middle-aged lady)
2. Ralph Fiennes had creepy hair.
3. David Kross – newcomer that I’ll be looking out for
4. Interesting take on the Holocaust. It seems to be more involved with the memory of the Holocaust, not as much the events that occurred during.
5. Very thought-provoking and dramatic, but not melodramatic which was good.
6. SERIOUS NUDITY ALERT! Full frontal male is definitely becoming more mainstream. (Zack & Miri, anyone?)

I recommend the movie, but it isn’t light fare, as all movies about the Holocaust never are.

Similar movie recommendation: Les Misérables (not the one you’re thinking of), La Vita é Bella

Another excellent Kate Winslet movie: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
