Age, Sex, Education, World War and Eternal Love

Rating: 8/10 (30 April 2009)

The reader shows a kind of love which sets off of just physical attraction but grows into an intense emotion for a lifetimeÂ…..I would say it's a little heavy dose of nudity to start the movie with but how the director has connected all those moments to memories in the later part of the movie is simply moving. I am sure the novel itself must be great second half read but here the real winner on screen is Ralph Fiennes even though Kate claimed most of the popularity from the movie. This performance of Ralph reminds you of another of his intense romantic drama movie The English Patient. The classroom discussions are also a good addition to the movie since they don't take movie off the track but instead help moving it forward.Another thing I noticed was that Kate's body language or dialogue delivery speed did not match that well with her makeup (aged around 60-70 years) towards the movie's end. Also the movie could have been shortened by 10 minutes or so by going a little easy on nudity but on the whole a good quality movie and moving too.
