the reader

Rating: Null/10 (13 April 2009)

"The Reader" movie is a sad story about the past generation(Hana) and the young man (Micheal). It became the Oscar awarded movie, The Reader. The sad story really touched. The more i kept watching, the more tears flowed on my face. At first, i thought it was too sexually contented. However, i realized there were a lot of things that i acknowledged that movie. Self-esteem, lust, being ashamed, forgiveness, empathy, massive massacres, Holocaust, the winter death march, etc.
After a lot of year, Micheal remind the his past with Hana, so he still remembers he was the reader for her. So he starts recording many books and sends it to her. When i saw this part, i am crying. Crying for their past, crying for Hana because she missed a lot of things in her life for one reason: she doesn't know how to read.
