The Reader

This will be quick....

DO NOT SEE THIS. Unless you want to hate Kate Winslet.
Why would such a marvelous actress pick such such an atrocious role? Seriously beats me.
She plays a Nazi who's also a pedophile. Now that's a double whammy. And I believe the director wants you to actually sympathize with her. How sick. Additionally her punishment, if that's what you want to call it, for the crimes she committed during the holocaust was truly the straw that broke the camel's back.
She recently won the golden globe for best supporting actress in this film...why??? Because she's able to pretend having sex with a 15- year-old boy? Most scenes in the movie gave me the willies. I believe in the overall experience of a movie, and making me feel queasy isn't the type of thing I look forward to or would want to impose on anyone else.
