A different version of Kate Winslet.

Rating: 4/10 (25 May 2019)

The Reader was one of three films (of Kate Winslet) that I watched. When I watched it, I didn't know what's gonna be this film and also, I din't know it's rating. I just watched it blindly. But I kind of surprised. Not because this film was so good, but I felt it's kind of strange.
The plot is a little bit weird and confusing. Honestly, I don't quite understand the story. Although it's about Hanna, but I feel like it's about the boy. I think what they want to show is the main character, Hanna doesn't know how to read, and then by some events happened, she learned how to read and so, she becomes able to read and write. And also they want to show her life with a boy who is way younger than her. That is what I guess of the plot.
This film shows knowing mother language is very important. Everyone must learn how to read and how to write. That is what we could learn from this film.
What I like about this film is that Michael recorded the stories and sent them to Hanna. He knows Hanna loves him reading her stories because Hanna can't read. And I guess Michael also wants to read Hanna stories. So, he recorded while he's reading out loud and sent those tapes to Hanna who's in prison. That's so sweet and cute. I totally love that scene.
If there's also what I like, of course there's also what I don't like. I don't quite like the scenes where Michael and Hanna have sex. I feel like it's disgusting.
All in all is that because the plot is a little bit weird, so, this film is not a bad film, but it's not also a perfect film either. But it's kind of watchable.
