Miscellaneous Movie Musings

For me what was good about Winslet's performance in The Reader is that she didn't (at least not to me) make the character sympathetic. She simply make the character human. Showed that evil isn't just a mighty efficient thing but can also be a passive uneducated thing.

I figure that it was a combination award for this and Revolutionary Road (though that movie didn't really work for me either).

Overall, though, I didn't really care for the movie.
