I really liked "The Reader". A very young boy finding out about sex from a young woman who could not read. She has no family no children, only a job taking fares on the trolley, not able to go into the office on an employement advancement because she cant read, so instead she takes another job where reading isn't a requirement. He loves her, she loves him, but she knows it wont work and she has to leave. The young man comes across her at her trail while at college. He knows she isnt capable of committing a horrible act that they convict her off, She would rather take the punishment than to be found out she can not read!
I think watchin g it more than once helps you pick up on the small important points.
I think it was a great play/movie and the acting in it was fantastic. RF made you feel his part, he's a great actor!

Ralph Fiennes sound is perfect.
I like this place.Although I don't know much English.

THE EXPLOITER

Got a sexy story
Suitable for the screen
Lacking only depth
In any single scene?

Take the trendy shortcut
On which nobody's lost
And cunningly just drop it
In the holocaust.

It always makes me laugh when the interviewer talks more than the interviewed..

The title escapes me, but a brilliant documentary film was made about a woman who worked on Hitler's staff. It was a quintessential demonstration of the ambiguity surrounding normal people drawn into the Third Reich. Did Ralph Fiennes see this film when preparing for his role in The Reader?
