Keeping Cats From Splashing Water



It 's a good movie, The Reader . Full of pain, but worth it to see it. It 'a European film in the end, even if the Weinstein brothers of touch U.S. becomes evident at times perhaps a little' too pathetic. But there is no superficiality, ever. There are questions however, and doubts, and Rovelli, the screenplay is not original (the film is based on the novel by Bernhard Schlink), while the characters are well defined and very believable, despite the "excesses" of the emotional subject, which is However great, exciting, pure and unrelenting drama, without repair or redemption in the end. The forces are morality and history, love and compassion, but there shares are to be taken, nor more or less good and more or less bad. Simply the court there, but should be suspended, must remain so, as a matter of pure humanity. The Reader short forces you to ask hard but impossible to give an answer, and this is perhaps its greatest merit. Congratulations to all anyway: Stephen Daldry, director of English very good (he directed the unforgettable The Hours), the screenplay by David Hare (The Hours, which also was writer), photography by Roger Deakins and Chris Menges ; the ever brilliant Bruno Ganz; Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes, actors much 100% UK loved by me and other millions of people around the world, actors exceptional, among the best comedians on the planet today, although their performances here are, in fact, painful as ever (I would have preferred to win the Kate ' Oscar Revolutionary Road, that film is even more good, but the establishment has never been so revolutionary, and Mendes's film hurts too much to America in order to receive prizes of U.S.). The film is finally the production, posthumously, by Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack.
