The Reader

Kate Winslet as Hannah Schmitz

Ralph Finnes as Older Michael Berg

David Kross as Younger Michael Berg



The Reader is the story of Hannah Schmitz and Michael Berg;who shared a sexual relationship when Michael Berg was a young adult.  Years after they separate,Michael goes to overlook a court case for his college course.  Hannah is on trial and Michael finds something out about Hannah that he did not expect.

This film was a new kind of story.  As it may be morally wrong,there is no denying that this film is a masterpiece.  It is an intense story that involves no violence or action;it is intense by nature.  Some may think that it is odd that an older woman would share a relationship with a young adult,but it is greatly shown how it would be possible and what it would look like.  Also,it shows the repercussions of having an intimate relationship with someone that you don't know much about at all,which was great.

The Reader is an incredible story that has a great cast,great story and will keep you interested through the whole film.
