[Film Review] The Reader

Content:
Michael Berg meets Hanna Schmitz. He is 15, she 36 and still in a relationship ensues between the two. When Hanna disappears suddenly Michael is devastated.
years later he realizes now a law student, she now accused in a process that again. Hanna and other women were charged because they did not save in a fire their prisoners. Hanna is not entirely innocent, but also not guilty of all. Michael
acknowledges Hanna's problem and begin to take their tapes on which he reads it and sends them to prison.

Cast I find very good! I like Ralph Fiennes and David Kross has done a really very good. Like Mrs Kate Winslet, a very convincing Hanna plays. The film is very
Atmospheric, tells the story very well and right with the pace.
by small pre-or perhaps more likely to be flashbacks, tells the life story of Michael and Hanna, and also takes up serious issues. The film makes you curious, clarifies to some extent, and suggests a little bit to think about.
The only drawback: the texts in the books, Michael reads (Odyssey, The lady and the dog) are in English, although the action takes place in Germany! Of course this is for many a small flaw, but I think it's a shame because then the movie loses in my eyes just to authenticity.

short: A great movie that tells a very special life story!

Book VS Movie

The details in the film are of course different. The rough process but agrees with the book. The characters in the book get a little more depth and ideas flow more Michaels in a book. It is understandable, it maybe a little better.
The prison scene in the film seemed much more distant, which I thought was very good because it reflects the fact that Michael emotions, particularly in relation to Hanna, clearly again.
In the novel, there was a scene that I wanted to shake Michael to slap the most and because he came over so cowardly and ignorant. In the film, though, that was not quite so pronounced.
What I found was also a pity that the scene in the end, the Michael and daughter of survivors of the disaster says. In the movie comes out, unfortunately, not that Hanna has the concentration camps and the atrocities that the Nazis did to the Jews, informed and thus to a likely regret their actions (even more).
The final in the film consists of the first sentences in the book. I remember that I found the end weird when I first saw the movie. I do not remember exactly why, but it was just a feeling. Overall, I found

both the book and the movie very well done and both are a wonderful complement to each other!

>> Sample \u0026lt;\u0026lt;

Michael accidentally meets the much older Hanna. She helps him when he is sick outside her house. He wants for their Help and thank slips so in a relationship with the 36-year-old. He is fascinated by her, because Hanna attracts him.
But one day they just disappeared and Michael do not know why.
Only years later he meets her again - in court. He is a law student, she is a defendant in the process of post-war period. It will, with other guards, the deaths of many people on the conscience, in which he has let the Jews burnt in a church.
Torn Michael tries to uncover the secrets of Hanna to come.

Before I began to read, I've adjusted to a difficult and lofty, complicated writing style - and was surprised. Schlink's style is short and to the point, liquid and can be read easily. There were certainly a few scenes that were described somewhat more complex, and posed simple and complex questions. But all in all, the novel was read.
is told from Michael's point of view. In between, he explains how he sees things now, so when he is older and tells the story, or why it has taken this or that decision. He makes the actions happen revue and analyzed his actions partly explains why something might be gone but then Sun
With him you can feel the fascination with the much older woman and is largely trapped in its history.
detail will not tell what I think is very good. Were it otherwise, would the book, I think, do a demolition. That's just the passages from Michael's life are told. Of everything one can, after all, do not remember yourself. The brevity makes it so authentic and yet you find yourself well in Michael's (and Hannah), a life story.

Short: An interesting story about a difficult relationship, illiteracy and war!
