Firstly, I’ve never a seen a film with as much peeking as the first 10 minutes of this film. Secondly, David Kross was the real star, better than Winslet, whose career award was very deserved though. The most interesting way to interpret this… Michael is a victim of abuse. His emotional development stops at 15. He’s incapable of forming healthy relationships because of his childhood experiences that he has falsely classified as love. Hanna is a monster, partly responsible for the distant relationships of Michael’s future. Michael only gets some true redemption when he finally opens up about his adolescent experiences to his daughter.

It doesn’t matter what I feel. It doesn’t matter what I think. The dead are still dead. – Very well storyline. – Beautiful Cinematography. – Good directing. – Emotional ending. – Reading then sex. – Story tape. – Beautiful chemistry between Kate Winslet and David Kross. – Kate Winslet is the most beautiful and outstanding. She really diserves an Oscar. – Naked Kate Winslet. – Completely naked David Kross. – 20s Ralph Fiennes. And yeah my Voldemort still looks hot. Secret ?

This bitch is a literal Nazi in post-WW2 Germany and yet her darkest secret is actually that she needs to go to the Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can’t Read Good

If you want me to sympathize with a Nazi, having her sleep with a 16-year-old in her 40s isn’t the way to do it.

The Reader is confused. At its heart is the relationship between Michael, a teenager, and Hanna, an older woman. Years after their initial affair, he is a law student and attends a trial that holds her accountable for her past as a Nazi prison guard. He realizes that she’s keeping a secret to the detriment of her freedom and doesn’t intervene. They reconnect when she’s in prison, partly; he sends her recordings of him reading books but doesn’t answer her letters. It’s never clear what The Reader is trying to achieve. Hanna is illiterate, and Michael feels responsible for her. Guilt and shame run deep, but everything is kept at surface-level. Michael’s feelings towards Hanna are explored through sighs and…

Dans la peau de Hanna, Kate Winslet (Oscar de la meilleure actrice) associe une métamorphose hollywoodienne, en vieillissant de trente ans, à un jeu cérébral, explorant avec un minimum de dialogues l’ignorance, la honte, la banalité du mal. Les crimes nazis ne sont que la toile de fond d’une histoire d’amour et de culpabilité, à la résonance collective. Le film n’absout jamais Hanna, mais le regard affolé de Michael nous oblige à voir son humanité. Tout au long de sa…

I don’t know dude, don’t even want to rate this to be honest. Watched it because I wanted to see something by this director that wasn’t the Tom Hanks 9/11 Movie so instead I opted for the Kate Winslet Holocaust Movie. It’s good on some registers: Winslet’s performance is impressive and I appreciate the themes (Germany grappling with shame, legal and moral guilt, negotiating historical/political narrative in the public) but it also kind of made my skin crawl from beginning…

“She had done much worse to other people.” Thank God I was home alone watching this otherwise people would’ve heard me scream Fuck You at that line. Nothing in this world will ever make me feel sympathy for a Nazi groomer just because she can’t read or write. The only contribution to Hollywood this movie has to offer is that its inclusion in the Best Picture lineup of 2008, over modern classics like WALL-E and The Dark Knight, prompted the Academy to expand its lineup beyond just five films. Terrible book. Terrible movie.

I had always wanted to watch this movie, as it finally won Kate Winslet an Oscar on her 6th nomination. But boy I don’t know how to feel about this. To be clear: this movie is an adaptation of a book. So if this is the plot of the book, it’s not the director or screenwriter’s fault. But as a viewer I don’t know what we are supposed to do with a main character who thought illiteracy was more shameful…

Que buena película 🎥 no me gustó el maquillaje que le pusieron a Kate para su avanzada edad, pero bueno.

Une première partie catastrophique : la relation est archi creapy, la musique est aux fraises, les personnages principaux sont antipatiques. Très peu de dialogue et on ne comprend les intentions des personnages.

The Reader is a film that very tactfully deals with extremely delicate and uncomfortable subject matter. I mean, this is about a teenage boy who has an affair with an older woman, then discovers she had been a guard at Auschwitz, and we’re meant to feel some level of sympathy for that woman! This could have been a fucking disaster, but it manages the awkward tightrope walk quite well. Ralph Fiennes doesn’t have much of a presence in this until…

Filme tocante e um pouco intimista. Assim como o filme “A Queda”, explora uma visão sensível sobre alguém que fez parte de um dos regimes mais odiados e que teria sido uma espécie de vítima da falta de acesso, no entanto a história se apoia mais no romance e solidão dos protagonistas do que no debate do acesso à cultura.

I will be the only angel you need. You will leave life even more beautiful than you entered it. Heaven will take you back and look at you and say: Only one thing can make a soul complete, and that thing is love. The Reader (2008) é uma obra…

I don’t know how to feel after watching this film. It makes me sit in between the feeling of sadness for Hanna, knowing that she is wrong, and yet the film keeps asking a harder question underneath that: is it even possible to know how to love or forgive someone who has done something monstrous? It is true that a society doesn’t run on morality; it runs on laws, but laws are blunt. They can only judge what can be…

No esperaba que ella se quitará la vida. Y no sé cómo sentirme al respecto, no es que sienta empatía por ella, después de todo lo que hizo, creo que nadie podría. Pero tuve demasiados sentimientos encontrados en toda la película. Creo que si hubiera sido una historia en la que ambos tuvieran la misma edad, ella no fuera una nazi, todo tendría más sentido para mí.

A gorgeous film, beautifully portrayed by Fiennes, Winslet and Kross. Near the end, it made me cringe to witness the hypocritical indignation of “the girl who survived the fire”. She and her family lived in Israel, otherwise known as occupied Palestine. It remains shocking to me that many people around the world fail to see the parallel between the Holocaust and the genocide that has been happening in the Middle East, specifically Palestine, for nearly 100 years.

Kate Winslet stars alongside Ralph Fiennes and David Kross in this drama set in post war Germany. A chance encounter between Winslet and Kross leads to a forbidden relationship but then abruptly halted when past wartime crimes are leveled against Winslet. Great performances from the leads and a moral dilemma. Really good film.

Me: Okay maybe the audience is being overly simplistic about the interpretation of this film and how it’s asking its audience to feel about being a nazi and being a pedophile *sees that Harvey Weinstein produced it* Okay maybe the audience is correct

Propaganda movie to fall pity on nazii lady Generally, I kinda felt how easily ordinary people get pulled into evil systems and in the film instead of exposing the horrors of the Holocaust, it risks making a mass murderer look like a tragic or misunderstood victim.

Idk like I really could’ve done without the underage romance of it all it was just so much of the beginning for it to not ruin the rest of it like why did he have to be 15 and that’s what was going on. Also even if she had any sympathetic nerves in her body she still worked for the SS & did what she did. Like girl I have none you groomed a minor and then ran off to work for the Nazis do what you will going forward but you can’t change the past

Se saltaron varias escenas del libro que podrían darle un sentido más complejo de lo que se muestra en la película. De igual manera, el libro y la película te dejan pensando y cuestionando la realidad en la que vives.

No creo que el objetivo de la película sea empatizar con una mujer nazi y mucho menos hacer apología de todo lo que hizo solo porque existía algo que a ella la volvía vulnerable, sino que su importancia está en encontrar matices en una persona que erró, hallar humanidad en ella sin que esto signifique su absolución y todo a través del análisis de una relación compleja, cuestionable pero sin duda alguna profunda

I was a little bit aware of what this movie is kind of about, both because it was a Best Picture nominee and basically the reason why the Dark Knight wasn’t nominated for Best Picture because of it (the power of the Weinsteins for ya), and also for the revelation that Kate Winslet was a Nazi in the middle of the film. What I did not know that the main character, Michael, slept with her when he was teenager. Which…

An interesting movie that I think confuses people… I don’t think it romanticizes Nazism or pedophilia or abuse, and Hanna is clearly guilty of those things. It’s a movie that is interested in how people continue to live after doing monstrous things and having monstrous things done to them— and how does that color our lives? I think it being packaged in a slick Hollywood veneer rather than a tedious arthouse posture makes people think it’s attempting to absolve or…

Uzun zamandır bir filmi sıkılmadan biteceğinden korkarak izlememiştim. buna rağmen kitaba göre eksik yanları vardı hep olur ama öyle bir kısım var ki kitapta filme nasıl son sahne olarak yapılmaz anlamıyorum.

This really puts the hollow in holocaust The Reader poses the question, “how many times do you have to show someone raping a child to create sympathy for her once it’s revealed she’s a pedophilic genocidaire who’s “unfairly” forced to go to jail for life just for murdering a bunch of people?” These rapes are the first 45 minutes of the movie, and they portray it from a sympathetic middle distance so it’s neither experiential or objectively distanced. It’s trying for Harry Dean Stanton in Paris Texas but ends up with James Woods in Casino.

Ich habe das Buch vor mittlerweile schon ein paar Jahren gelesen und muss sagen, dass die Adaption dessen wirklich gut gelungen ist. Vor allem Kate Winslet bringt den Charakter der Hanna Schmitz wirklich gut rüber. In ihren Augen, in ihrer Mimik und Gestik sieht man diesen komplexen Charakter, der nach außen hin stark wirkt, unter dieser harten Schale jedoch sehr verletzlich ist wirklich sehr gut. Meine einzige wirkliche Kritik ist, dass Ralph Fiennes, obwohl er seine Rolle an sich auch…

me encantaría decir que la vi con la regla porque qué llorera, pero no ha sido el caso, así que supongo que me ha impactado (?) si esa es la palabra precisa. al margen de mí, creo que no he visto ninguna reseña que entienda genuinamente lo que expone. no es una justificación del nazismo o de la pederastia (what? i saw two consenting people there!) por analfabetismo, es decir, en ningún momento se dice que esté bien o mal lo que ocurre, sólo se plantea el dilema moral. ¿tendría que haber hablado? y en el caso de no haberlo hecho, ¿redimirse?

Storia erotica dall’esplosiva presenza drammatica. La scelta di raccontare attraverso il flashback del protagonista che tramite la silouette affilata della sua ultima donna ricorda gli occhi appassionati della prima è assai caratterizzante. Il finale completamente inaspettato. L’ambientazione nell’immediato dopoguerra è una scelta che garantisce una certa peculiarità e originalità alla storia. L’ignoranza del protagonista riguardo alla sessualità o la sua ingenuità rispecchiano perfettamente la stessa ignoranza in cui è stata cresciuta una generazione, cioè quella degli ambienti borghesi in cui…

It really wanted to be a less disturbing version of “The Night Porter” (1974) but for the Oscar loving crowd. Kate Winslet is an emotional abuser in this, not only that but also a Nazi. But this movie wants you to feel sorry for her because she can’t read. Who gives a shit if she can’t put one word in front of another, she’s still a Nazi and helped murder hundreds.

I think I understand part of what the film is trying to do, but I think the way it goes about it is completely wrong. I think there’s ideas here about historical literacy and making sure people don’t forget about events like the Holocaust. We see Michael’s generation attempt to come to terms with what happened just before them, but the way it goes about it, attempting to make you feel sorry for Kate Winslet’s character just because… she can’t…

No puedes hacer que me enfade. No me importas lo suficiente. Es muy gracioso, incluso poético, preferir una condena perpetua que admitir ser una analfabeta.

Really liked this. There’s something so strange about the whole relationship that I couldn’t stop thinking about it even after the movie ended. Kate Winslet is obviously great, but I especially liked how Michael slowly goes from being completely fascinated by Hanna to barely knowing what to make of her. Kate Winslet is phenomenal in this. Hanna is such a difficult character to watch because the film never really lets you settle on how you feel about her. She was…

I don’t think I’ve ever felt more connected to a movie in recent memory than this masterpiece. My first girlfriend made me feel a similar way when she moved away and that happened in the teenage years, and that sense of a hole inside me has lasted for over the years, foregoing the Nazi trials and whatnot. The love story itself is so incredibly moving and hard to watch, but you don’t want to look away either. Just grabs your soul and then rips it in half at the end.

Alright, this one resonated with me not because of its controversial romance, but because beneath the forbidden affair lies a touching story about the life-changing gift of literacy. David Kross delivers my favorite performance of the three with remarkable vulnerability, while Kate Winslet is compelling as Hannah and Ralph Fiennes brings quiet sorrow to the older Michael. The powerful metaphor is that Hannah spends her life being judged before she can ever truly read, making Michael’s greatest gift not their…

أكثر ما يوجع هو أن الزمن مضى، لكن أثر تلك العلاقة لم يمضِ كأن بعض الذكريات لا تنتهي بل تتغير الطريقة التي تعيش بها داخلنا

Filme bem complexo. Me deixou bastante reflexivo sobre os horrores do holocausto judeu, mas também sobre o julgamento dos envolvidos. Kate Winslet tem uma atuação excelente que valeu um Oscar no que pra mim foi uma fraude de categoria (deveria ser coadjuvante), e não acho que seja a melhor atuação da carreira. Mas tá válido o prêmio né kkkkk Que maquiagem feia a de envelhecimento na Kate kkkkkkk esquisita demais!

There’s a strange aftertaste to this film. It was somehow both enjoyable and uncomfortable, probably because the message seems so muddled. It feels pretty hard to gauge the filmmakers’ intentions here. I suppose it asks an interesting question about how closely tied literacy, humanity, and morality are, but in a way that comes just a little too close to excusing some serious atrocities…or maybe it doesn’t do that? A strangely enjoyable mixed bag.

A nice-looking movie, and yet however … This one combines two of Hollywood’s go-to favorites for audience arousal: soft-porn fantasies centered around very young men’s desires, and Holocaust-guilt plus existential questions about it. The questions are, unfortunately posed at a middle-school level, a “how could this happen level?” that has been done ad-infinitum at this point in movie/Hollywood history. Those questions arouse — ahem, arise, ahem — after the 50-minute mark, when the trials begin. The movie has (IIRC) three…

deakins don’t miss! The score and the central dilemma carry so much weight that it’s easy to overlook how much the film meanders at times. winslet is undeniably good, but i was definitely more taken with david kross, whose performance made the emotional core feel real. fiennes is ok. But i never fully bought him as the older version of kross (ig he has those sharp eyes). 8/10

Wow…this movie takes you on such an emotional roller coaster. I’m not rating this 5 stars because I think it’s a masterpiece, but rather because of the emotion it evoked in me.

One of the advantages of stumbling across a movie many years after it is made is that it is no longer in the public consciousness. You stand a very good chance of being able to approach it completely cold, with no prior information about what it might contain. All the more pity, then, when the idiots who program the little blurb that shows up on the streaming page (and which your eyes might happen to just glance over inadvertently) completely…

Minor spoilers. Some stories don’t need endless twists to leave a permanent mark. The Reader unfolds through quiet shifts in time, allowing every silence and every glance to carry the weight of what remains unspoken. Michael’s relationship with Hanna is unsettling, tragic, and painfully human. Everything begins to unravel after Hanna is offered a promotion, forcing her greatest secret into the light. More than anything, I found myself grieving the shame she carried over her illiteracy. It became a prison…

الفلم جميل وآسف بس حرفياً الفلم ذوقي بالتفصيل وأكبر شيء صدمني انه عرفنا على نفسية النساء الألمانيات بعد الحرب العالمية الثانيه لانه كلنا نعرف الجرائم الي ارتكبوها الحلفاء فيهم من اغتصاب وذل واهانه بعد ما دخلو ألمانيا آنا هون كانت شخصية طيبه لكن انظلمت لانها ما شاركت بشكل أساسي بجرائم النازيين ضد اليهود هي كانت تقوم بواجبها فقط ك شرطية ما ارتكبت اي حريمة محاكتها كانت ظالمه ومايكل كان سيء بموقفه منها لانه كان يقادر يساعدها بشكل اكبر خصوصاً انهم حبو بعض وقضو ايام كثيره مع بعض ودلعته يعني ثلاثينيه وانت بعدك ببداية عمرك شو بدك بعد ؟

Lo que más me pega es Hanna: puedes entender ciertas cosas de su historia y sentir compasión por ella, pero eso no justifica lo que hizo. Y creo que justamente la película busca que estés incómoda con esa contradicción. También me parece muy fuerte cómo Michael carga durante años con lo que pasó. No siento que la película intente convertir a Hanna en una víctima inocente, sino mostrar cómo una persona puede tener aspectos humanos y aun así haber hecho cosas terribles. Y el final me parece devastador, especialmente por todo lo que pudo haber sido diferente. Es una película triste de una manera muy silenciosa.

Still pretty good, but not as good as I remembered. I didn’t realise that the courtroom and prison scenes took up about three quarters of the film.

No es mi novia, es mi mamá. ¿O cómo era?
- Synopsis
- The story of Michael Berg, a German lawyer who, as a teenager in the late 1950s, had an affair with an older woman, Hanna, who then disappeared only to resurface years later as one of the defendants in a war crimes trial stemming from her actions as a concentration camp guard late in the war. He alone realizes that Hanna is illiterate and may be concealing that fact at the expense of her freedom.
