I perfectly agree. So a young actor and so much talented.Such as every actor in that movie ans what else to Say about Kate?Nothing more toi add.She's just perfect and Amazing as usual.Love her as well as an actress as a humain being💖
Iam 70 years old and i was a union projectionist for regal cinima and have seen 1000's of films and THE READER is my favorite film of all time. A beautiful film.
Definitely a masterpiece. Kate says that it’s a love story but I would argue that the movie challenges the notion of what we consider as love: is it lust? Dependency? Manipulation? Responsibility? Compassion? Who knows.. it’s as confounding as it is in the real world.
It was definitely challenging the concept of love! Especially now when the audience would see Hanna as someone manipulative who likes teenagers. But the way their relationship is presented, how they interact with each other even long after they broke up, shows they genuinely cared for each other.
This interview is so satisfying to watch. The jeopardy of superficiality is avoided so impressively. They are really trying to discover truths. Most interviews today don't seem to try to do that anymore.
I came cross many reviews and this time in English. Very surprise that I'm not the only one who looks for reviews. It's true that their love is absolutely beautiful, pure and brave, especially portrayed by Michael who has dedicated a poem to Hanna. Love this and always watch this before bed. Definitely tear up everytime watching the movie and even now the interviews about it. :')
I have to admit, watching this interview in 2022, there are some creepy elements to the line of questioning, but conversation is undeniably more interesting than promotion-focused ones nowadays. Kate is sublime. Stephen, David, and David.. fearless. The kaleidoscopic look at post-Nazi Germany of the movie already won me over, but perspective of a man undergoing various phases of love candidly told separates this film from others
Perhaps. I think he was looking at her with respect and deference as a talented and more senior actor whom he learned much from throughout the filming of this movie.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂 ok buddy, troll harder. Tell me you have NEVER been an 18 yr old BOY before without telling me you have NEVER been an 18 yr old BOY before! ''Perhaps'' you're a comedian. She displayed her goodies to him, an 18 yr old and you think he's thinking WHAT??? ''Perhaps'' 😂 😂
she kicked major ass in this movie and knew she was going to win the oscar, nothing else touched what she did in this movie. damn, she kicks ass so hard.
An insightful discussion, but it's a shame they skipped over the age difference between the two characters at aprox 40 mins. The fact that Michael is just 15 whilst Hanna is 36 is troublesome.. Yes, the author needed a generational difference between them to be able to address the shame and mized feelings felt by the post-Nazi generation towards their parents and teachers, but the fact that Michael was, in many ways, still a child having a relationship with an adult is an important aspect of the novel which required further exploration
i think thats a mid 21st century problem. 19th century is full of its own hardships and they r already too painful to know. lets just explore the original book and see any hint left by the author concerning our century top agenda or just simple unfortunate love story. the law, the moral, the feelings especially coming from the human has never been simple
You can't deny the fact that Michael basically walked into Hanna's life of his own accord. So there is not really much to blame Hanna for. Whether Hanna should've discouraged Michael from making further advances is surely a thing up for debate. Ideally she should have, yes definitely. But we are not living in an ideal world, mind you. Many people take advantage of others. It's so very common in today's world. Though it might sound cynical but I think that an adult person taking advantage of another by way of manipulation is no less heinous than an adult taking advantage of an underage. And whether Hanna took advantage of Michael is surely a debatable thing since Michael came into Hanna's life of his own free will.
@@swarnendu89 I think the choice she made to pursue the relationship spoke volumes about her own maturity and sense of morals-same goes for other manipulators in life…
Whenever I heard your voice in any interview what a magic in your voice my heart beat is high automatically.I heard every person voice in your interview doesn't like anybody except you (Kate Winslet)
I loved the movie. I had not seen a movie about the next generation after the war. How difficult it must have been. I did think it was a bit graphic for such a young man to have to do such scenes, but you feel as if you are having a bird's eye view of a real time in history. It is a very moving movie. It was very deserving of the Oscar.
You can see how insecure and uncomfortable David Kross was in this almost one hour interview, he was at a table between adult people, and being that he was naked along with Kate Winslet's nudity that was next to him, which accentuates a little his insecurity. And the point of having this innocent essence at the same time as having this brilliant performance was what he admired most about David Kross.His courage in making a film like The Reader was admirable, as was Kate's in remaining as she came into the world for everyone to see.
SPOILER ALERT: I watched THE READER for the first time last night. During the discussion of why Michael did not come forward during the trial with the information that Hannah was illiterate I sensed is/was because he had learned of her dark past and was ashamed of being involved with Hannah . To protect himself he decides to keep their relationship secret but in so doing fails to protect Hannah and allows her to receive a punishment that he may have helped diminish by coming forward, but chose not to. JMO.
I always like David Kross's interview where (The reader-charlie rose full interview) where he face very nervousness which are easily, smoothly and make enjoyable way handle and tackle by kate madam that is the humanity, kindness and many other good qualities to other people which kate madam's character which are always touch my heart
i didn’t feel that he felt that she is a weight on him, i felt that he couldn’t handle the idea of her being one of the guards who killed or help killing and that she lied to him when she left him first then about her illiteracy second, and third she didn’t even put any effort to get out of jail, but he loved her that after her his life was never OK.
David feel like he wanna speak but he feels like his English is not okay.. The interviewer in my opinion is like trying to dig deeper in to the story to discover some truths and later to write another story
Really good & interesting comments by the actors, writer & director, but the moderator is getting on my nerves. He often keeps interrupting (in a rather condescending manner) when people are trying to give nuanced answers to complicated questions.
Education has such great standards that we would hide behind anything rather to confess bc no one understands what caused one not to learn to read/write. I carried my anxiety of reading even long after graduating college which was by cheating.
I love this movie (The reader)and I learn in this movie that you don't expect more from other other you feel shock and mental pain if they go against or beyond your expectation
Putting aside Charlie Rose and his repugnant behavior over the years, this was a superb interview. Kate is the embodiment of brilliance, class, and grace. This was one fantastic movie, and in my personal opinion, it was pretty much autobiographical. Writing about it was more additional therapy for the author.
I actually cringed when he asked about the nude scenes. It was downright creepy. And I didn’t know anything about his behaviour until I read your comment
@@lynngallagher4749 Seriously! Kate’s response was perfect. Oh you want me to say something about the nudity? Um, OK… *says eloquent and insightful things*
I'm not trying to make excuses , but I watched Chelsea Handler's "Who Do you Think you Are?" She is unique because on one side her grandfather served in the German military and on the other side she is Jewish. Her German (not Jewish) grandmother wrote a book about life before WW2. In this book she said her mother would cry because her children wanted food and she had nothing to give them. Maybe if all the sudden your children are fed and happy maybe it's easier for a monster to take over. Especially when you are in a fight for survival. I have never been in this situation I would hope that I would stand up and say no. Chelsea even asked,"What happened to those that were hardliners against Hitler?" The man said, "they are dead."
It was worth it for me to watch this interview to hear the word “burden”. What probably fell out in the editing process was that Michael doesn’t “burden” Hannah with freedom at the expense of the public humiliation of being illiterate. She returns the favour by freeing him from the “burden” of a questionable future.
After watching this for a couple of minutes-I’m flabbergasted that the US on a whole is unable to accept their proper responsibility in their role of the slave trade and go about rectifying it honestly. It’s incredible to see the trauma that SS institution delegated to Hanna, what Hanna delegated to the people in the concentration camps and what she delegated to Michael and what Michael delegated to his family. And this is a small percentage…and overall the US govt. seeks to bypass this type of responsibility. The US NEEDS to have a truth and reconciliation process. Use the example of Germany to start.
Yes, and the Arab world needs to have a reconciliating process with the black world. They were the ones who started slavery, centuries before white people did. And the black people who sold other black people on slave markets to the Arabas, also need a reconciliation process.
My one question is if Michael really loved Hanna why didn't he disclose to everyone that Hanna is illiterate so that he could help with her case? He protected her secret but that costed her 20 years of her life locked away in prison. Then in the end Michael became guilty and repulsed by Hanna. Wtf, man???
El la amaba se le notaba a la legua per nunca superó que ella lo dejará ,y yo creo que esa fue su venganza y a pesar de los años nunca pudo superar su amor por ella
That's what stands out to me the most . He never stood by her , his first true love . I don't think she was truly guilty of the crimes she was committed of committing . All he had to do was prove her illiteracy
As much as he wanted to disclose the fact, in my opinion, he also wanted to respect that Hanna doesn't want to reveal that she's illiterate. She's ashamed of it, kept her secret at the cost of life for imprisonment even. Maybe he realized later that he should have disclosed it, but when he was younger it's just so much for a confused young man I suppose.. and that's why he felt guilty for years
I think it's a moral dilemma for Michael. On the one hand his relationship with Hanna has shaped him in such a way that she's kind of like a ghost that colours everything and is always in the background but also he's trying to come to terms with the atrocity of the crimes she has committed. There is genuine love between them but Michael moves on in life and Hannah still very much loves him in the end. It's so deeply layered. Exceptional film.
That's the beauty of this movie...he was smart enough to know that if he disclose that Hanna is illiterate it would have help her lesser her punishment...but he chose to respect her choice to hide that she is illiterate...he even try to visit her when she was in jail to ask her to confest her secret so it will help her case...but he back off realising that its better not too ask her because she was hiding from him too that she is illiterate...and I don't think he regret his decision in his later years...
I love this movie, I’ve watched it many times, however the more I watch it the more I can’t help but think how would society receive it if it was an older man with an underage girl. I think we sympathise more with Hanna because she is a woman even though what she is doing is illegal in age terms and quite frankly grooming a young boy, and damaging him pyschologically for his entire life.
one rhymes dedicated to Kate-Twinkle twinkle" Kate you are",how much wonder do you how you are ,up above the "any awards you are",like a "shining diamond"is your"beautiful eyes"
One of my ALL TIME films which I can personally relate to in similar ways. Moving and memorable. Kate Winslet is astonishing. Michael never got over Hanna, no matter how he tried I think. What a GREAT film.
Disgusting how people justify rape if it's a boy and a woman. This movie has potential to be something great, but it's absolutely horrific to see so many people saying that the boy "wanted it"
Actually Kate was the first choice before Nicole Kidman, but she couldn’t because she was shooting a different film and the schedules collided, so it went to Nicole Kidman, she got pregnant, and back to Kate and fortunately the schedules worked out.
These guys wrote and directed etc, but I REALLY felt her suicide had NOTHING to do with him not loving her anymore. In the film Michael says to her “Do you ever think about your past?’ I can’t remember her EXACT words but she basically says someting about after the trial and he says “No, do you ever think about your actions BEFORE the trial?” I think in some manner in 20 years in jail she had managed to somehow blank out the horrendous crimes that she (no matter if they set ner up because she DID say ‘we had to bring order to chaos’ in the trial which was the Nazi rhetoric) - so when Michael said that to her she DID think about all she had done and/or had been a part of and remorse and guilt finally got to her, and that decided for her her fate. She was NEVER the woman who NEEDED anyone, yes, maybe she did love him, but I REALLY believe not enough to kill herself, again I think it was because she FINALLY realised what she had done.
Kate Winslet played the Holocaust for laughs in Extras and didn't realize The Reader was about Auschwitz, because she thought it was a love story. Is anyone really this slow?
O my dear "kate", when I do not see you, life seems incomplete, when you are a celebrity, then you are spreading the fragrance of the rose garden like beautiful hair , it is revealed by the red and soft of your rose like your lips, then you are your soul. With the arrow of your eyes, you make your heart go to your heart, when you speak in an interview then one type of sweet sound in your mouth that could always attract and hypnotizing your milllians of fans so now I am also a geat fan of your interview because you always Frankly, humbly, without any fear and bravely answer of question
To see your face and the joy of telling you in your interview, it seems that O My dear Kate, you are an open book and your wanted to know all each and every one reader read your each and every words of even single page of my life like book and feel that my Hollywood journey . How much full of my 30 years of challenges success and unsuccess,ups and down and enjoyfull and sadness
Just piss off with your idiotic love for Kate Winslet... She is a great actress and your feeling and appreciation for her should be reflected and expressed in a decent and sensible way
Always struggle to understand why he doesn't stand up for her at the trial , her being unable to read and write would have led to her being given a lesser sentence . Going by her narrative , it seems she's not guilty of the crimes she was found guilty of . He seemed immature in his reaction
That’s what I wonder too. It seems like he love her so much but decided to let her stay in jail for her whole life. Their love would have another ending
I can't understand the fucking respect of Michael not to disclose Hanna's illiteracy.. costing her 20 years in prison. If you love someone, you can disclose it and express it anytime in public plus have to do your best to defend and protect and be by the side of the person you love. Michael was just a prick and asshole to do all this. Hanna still loved him till the very end esp the scene she wanted to hug him by the time she got a parole and Micheal even then avoided hugging her cuz he fucking moved on in his life. Such an asshole, jerk... but I loved how Hanna was loyal in love and stayed firm in love even after years passed on and the way Kate played the character is just awesome..
He understood her embarrassment and shame from not being able to read or write after her 40 something years of being alive. I mean she literally hid it from him despite their very intimate relationship, and he probably knew that if she wasn’t going to admit it then she wouldn’t like him doing it. I mean by saying she wrote the report instead of admitting she can’t write, she accepted the longer sentence. She knew the judges weren’t in her favor despite her attempts at justification, and she would rather take a harsher punishment than admit this secret because the shame has been building up her whole life.
Perhaps we can draw a lesson from this movie, and look at the the current situation in America, with Trump. Remember: “The Holocaust was started by ordinary people”.
Kate madam told absolutely right that it's not a pornography movie but a simple love story between youg boy and old woman's love, attraction ,cheat ,revang and then after support them nothing more else but depends whatever viewers angle see and what they actually see about it

The young man deserves an award of some kind. He was amazing ♡♡♡
I perfectly agree. So a young actor and so much talented.Such as every actor in that movie ans what else to Say about Kate?Nothing more toi add.She's just perfect and Amazing as usual.Love her as well as an actress as a humain being💖
Absolutely, he is such an amazing actor, the perfect Michael.
This young guy is brilliant actor , he deserve an Oscar , I cannot forget this film.
David Kross was so amazing in this film that I believed many moments were real. He is a natural talent.
The reader is a masterpiece
Absolutely!!
Yes!
I don't read much, but I get back to this specific book again and again.
It’s my favorite drama.
Iam 70 years old and i was a union projectionist for regal cinima and have seen 1000's of films and THE READER is my favorite film of all time. A beautiful film.
Agreed
The best way to summarize this movie is the line... "the lady with the little dog." It brings the whole story, characters and emotions together.
Holy shit…
Thats so deep, i just realised it. I mean, how hurtful it would be for the dog if he lost his “owner”
This gave me chills...just realized what this line represented
Omg
😮wow! So true
This movie is great..it just made me cry in the end. Great performances by the 3 actors
More than Kate, David deserved an Oscar. Period.
Definitely a masterpiece. Kate says that it’s a love story but I would argue that the movie challenges the notion of what we consider as love: is it lust? Dependency? Manipulation? Responsibility? Compassion? Who knows.. it’s as confounding as it is in the real world.
It was definitely challenging the concept of love! Especially now when the audience would see Hanna as someone manipulative who likes teenagers. But the way their relationship is presented, how they interact with each other even long after they broke up, shows they genuinely cared for each other.
100% agree
It could also be seen as paedophilia as she was grooming him
@@Erina88888very much true, I was strongly believe she was a manipulative psychopath but the later half of the series convinced me otherwise.
None of the above
It’s a LOVE story.
You didn’t really understand anything 😂
Kate Winlet is the absolute fucking standard. What a class act.
Always!
This interview is so satisfying to watch. The jeopardy of superficiality is avoided so impressively. They are really trying to discover truths. Most interviews today don't seem to try to do that anymore.
"you don't choose who you fall in love with " - definitely love story. It's also great reflection on guild and shame .
I never caught on during the movie that she could not read until they were in court! That is how well it was hidden by her. This is a great movie!
I feel you. It was very obvious when they are ordering the food and she insisted micheal to order for them instead but i didn’t aware by then
One of the best movies I've ever seen! Kate deserved that Oscar!
I came cross many reviews and this time in English. Very surprise that I'm not the only one who looks for reviews.
It's true that their love is absolutely beautiful, pure and brave, especially portrayed by Michael who has dedicated a poem to Hanna.
Love this and always watch this before bed. Definitely tear up everytime watching the movie and even now the interviews about it. :')
This book n this movie is so enigmatic. And kate especially is so brilliantly amazing!!!!!!!
I’m watching this just for Kate.
Same type of feel I also
I'm watching this just for David , btw where David now ? Are you know ? I am like so much character Michele
I am also
Same
who isn’t..
Well deserved oscar for kate and david is such an amazing actor. Wow! what a masterpiece 💯
this, by far one of the best movies I have watched..
Same
i think every movie where Kate Winslet is playing is a big huge fat masterpiece🥰😂
David is so young but stunningly believable. Look at him say "I don't know which woman you mean".
What a film....dunno why cried through the whole film
I cried like a baby when Michael came to Hanna 's empty apartment. Omfg
I am waiting for this kind of Interview
Me too bro
I have to admit, watching this interview in 2022, there are some creepy elements to the line of questioning, but conversation is undeniably more interesting than promotion-focused ones nowadays.

The way David Kross kept looking at Kate, I would say the guy fell in love with her during filming 😂. Bless his 18 yr old heart in 2008 lol
Perhaps. I think he was looking at her with respect and deference as a talented and more senior actor whom he learned much from throughout the filming of this movie.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂 ok buddy, troll harder. Tell me you have NEVER been an 18 yr old BOY before without telling me you have NEVER been an 18 yr old BOY before! ''Perhaps'' you're a comedian. She displayed her goodies to him, an 18 yr old and you think he's thinking WHAT??? ''Perhaps'' 😂 😂
@@lynninpain That's certainly not what that look is BUT you can wish it to be 🤣🤣
@@I-might-be-immortal Facts! That person must be lgbtq or far from male. Any REAL boy can see what that look is about but lynn wants to troll 😂 😂
David looks so nervous bless him
Heart melted movie
What a spectacular movie! In many ways it reminds me of “The Lover”.
She is an amazing actress
Kate acting is amazing
Im literally dying after watching this movie💔💔😪😪😪
it was a pleasure itself watching this interview
she kicked major ass in this movie and knew she was going to win the oscar, nothing else touched what she did in this movie. damn, she kicks ass so hard.
Winslet was brilliant in The Reader. In my humble opinion, one of the greatest performances I have ever seen,
David just looks so confused 😂
True 😂
Bet he looks back at this interview and be like "wtf I'm a simp" 😂
He’s very young and possibly out of his depth with these well established professionals. He was amazing in this movie though.
I love this movie, especially kate in it. ❤❤❤
An insightful discussion, but it's a shame they skipped over the age difference between the two characters at aprox 40 mins. The fact that Michael is just 15 whilst Hanna is 36 is troublesome..

Yes and that relationship also traumatized his young mind.
@@swarnendu89 I think the choice she made to pursue the relationship spoke volumes about her own maturity and sense of morals-same goes for other manipulators in life…
@@CommunitySage In the movie it is pretty clear that the relationship effected every aspect of Micheals entire life.
Whenever I heard your voice in any interview what a magic in your voice my heart beat is high automatically.I heard every person voice in your interview doesn't like anybody except you (Kate Winslet)

I love this movie, I’ve watched it many times, however the more I watch it the more I can’t help but think how would society receive it if it was an older man with an underage girl. I think we sympathise more with Hanna because she is a woman even though what she is doing is illegal in age terms and quite frankly grooming a young boy, and damaging him pyschologically for his entire life.
one rhymes dedicated to Kate-Twinkle twinkle" Kate you are",how much wonder do you how you are ,up above the "any awards you are",like a "shining diamond"is your"beautiful eyes"
15:12 The guy was 17 Kate
What was the name of the book at 41:54 when Hanna got offended ?
Lady Chatterley's Lover
Thanks Karina 🤝
Greetings from Lublin, watching this film reminds me of Mrs. Halina Birenbaum, who was a prisoner of Majdanek and Auschwitz. Pete.
Amazing story - The film blew me away. Charlie looks like he just rolled out of bed, or has a bad hangover.
One of my ALL TIME films which I can personally relate to in similar ways. Moving and memorable. Kate Winslet is astonishing. Michael never got over Hanna, no matter how he tried I think. What a GREAT film.
Disgusting how people justify rape if it's a boy and a woman. This movie has potential to be something great, but it's absolutely horrific to see so many people saying that the boy "wanted it"
Kate Winslet nailed Hannah Smitz and she did a great job so great that deserved an oscar. The role was orginally for Nicole Kidman***
Actually Kate was the first choice before Nicole Kidman, but she couldn’t because she was shooting a different film and the schedules collided, so it went to Nicole Kidman, she got pregnant, and back to Kate and fortunately the schedules worked out.
Asking david only 2 questions in 1 hour interview was no so right,he left him just watch the others talk ,
Ikr
Very interesting movie
Whatever happened to the young actor? He did such a fine job and then never got any other big roles?
In the movie Michael was a traitor of love actually and a coward in life, that's is the reason she took her life. She felt betrayed.
These guys wrote and directed etc, but I REALLY felt her suicide had NOTHING to do with him not loving her anymore. In the film Michael says to her “Do you ever think about your past?’ I can’t remember her EXACT words but she basically says someting about after the trial and he says “No, do you ever think about your actions BEFORE the trial?” I think in some manner in 20 years in jail she had managed to somehow blank out the horrendous crimes that she (no matter if they set ner up because she DID say ‘we had to bring order to chaos’ in the trial which was the Nazi rhetoric) - so when Michael said that to her she DID think about all she had done and/or had been a part of and remorse and guilt finally got to her, and that decided for her her fate. She was NEVER the woman who NEEDED anyone, yes, maybe she did love him, but I REALLY believe not enough to kill herself, again I think it was because she FINALLY realised what she had done.
Old people talk too much! Let David talk
ㅜㅜ 데이빗이 영어를 잘 못해서 말많이 했어도 개쫄았을듯ㅋㅋㅋㅜㅜ
They really didn’t care about spoiling the plot for everyone.
Kate Winslet played the Holocaust for laughs in Extras and didn't realize The Reader was about Auschwitz, because she thought it was a love story.
Is anyone really this slow?
Biurifull
O my dear "kate", when I do not see you, life seems incomplete, when you are a celebrity, then you are spreading the fragrance of the rose garden like beautiful hair , it is revealed by the red and soft of your rose like your lips, then you are your soul. With the arrow of your eyes, you make your heart go to your heart, when you speak in an interview then one type of sweet sound in your mouth that could always attract and hypnotizing your milllians of fans so now I am also a geat fan of your interview because you always Frankly, humbly, without any fear and bravely answer of question
Cambodia also went through genocide in recent memory.
I enjoyed this film
After watching this movie, I imagine Kate Winslet as standing in the court room or in bath tub... Before watching it was Rose from Titanic...
Kate winslet good , good , good
To see your face and the joy of telling you in your interview, it seems that O My dear Kate, you are an open book and your wanted to know all each and every one reader read your each and every words of even single page of my life like book and feel that my Hollywood journey . How much full of my 30 years of challenges success and unsuccess,ups and down and enjoyfull and sadness
Just piss off with your idiotic love for Kate Winslet... She is a great actress and your feeling and appreciation for her should be reflected and expressed in a decent and sensible way
Always struggle to understand why he doesn't stand up for her at the trial , her being unable to read and write would have led to her being given a lesser sentence . Going by her narrative , it seems she's not guilty of the crimes she was found guilty of . He seemed immature in his reaction
That’s what I wonder too. It seems like he love her so much but decided to let her stay in jail for her whole life. Their love would have another ending
I can't understand the fucking respect of Michael not to disclose Hanna's illiteracy.. costing her 20 years in prison. If you love someone, you can disclose it and express it anytime in public plus have to do your best to defend and protect and be by the side of the person you love. Michael was just a prick and asshole to do all this. Hanna still loved him till the very end esp the scene she wanted to hug him by the time she got a parole and Micheal even then avoided hugging her cuz he fucking moved on in his life. Such an asshole, jerk... but I loved how Hanna was loyal in love and stayed firm in love even after years passed on and the way Kate played the character is just awesome..
Read the book - you will find all answers there. 😊🙌🏻
Was this movie based on the real events? And Michael really didn't stand up for her Hanna in real life?
He understood her embarrassment and shame from not being able to read or write after her 40 something years of being alive. I mean she literally hid it from him despite their very intimate relationship, and he probably knew that if she wasn’t going to admit it then she wouldn’t like him doing it. I mean by saying she wrote the report instead of admitting she can’t write, she accepted the longer sentence. She knew the judges weren’t in her favor despite her attempts at justification, and she would rather take a harsher punishment than admit this secret because the shame has been building up her whole life.
The Interviewer doesn’t understand the movie at all.
Perhaps we can draw a lesson from this movie, and look at the the current situation in America, with Trump. Remember: “The Holocaust was started by ordinary people”.
I just watched it on Netflix. Kate Winslet is possibly one of the greatest of all time. This movie is fucked. Crazy
Kate madam told absolutely right that it's not a pornography movie but a simple love story between youg boy and old woman's love, attraction ,cheat ,revang and then after support them nothing more else but depends whatever viewers angle see and what they actually see about it
