Some people may find Kate Winslet an overrated actress and she’s nothing special because of her role in “Titanic”, which I agree with, but after seeing, “The Reader”, made me realize that I take it back and I now find her one of the most talented actresses in Hollywood. Her Oscar winning role for this film is well deserving for her. This is one of the best female performances I’ve seen in a long time. I finally got around to watching, “The Reader” on DVD last night.

Yes, Kate Winslet is naked and shows off her boobs throughout most of this movie, but that’s not the only reason why I loved the film. It told a great and moving story.

Also starring, Ralph Fiennes, his character is telling the story of his childhood past where he falls in love with an older woman half his age. Kate’s character, Hannah Schmitz, does not know how to read, so she has a young Michael Berg read books for her which is what led to their relationship. She suddenly dissapears and leaves him without his notice. Michael then crosses path with Hannah later in the movie at a trial which she is one of the defendants. She is being accused of letting 300 jews die during the 1944 death march of Schutzstaffel in World War II. Michael then begins to learn that she has been hiding her past with the Nazi’s from him.

I would reccomend you to buy this movie or give it a rent. It’s worth seeing. As usual, Ralph Fiennes is always a great actor. I was blown away by this film, and it’s definitely one of the best films of 2008 last year. Check it out.

I can’t wait for later this week, ’cause “The Wrestler” finally comes out on DVD. I’m definitely buying that. I can’t wait to see, “The Wrestler”, I’ve been dying to see that film ever since it came out in theater which I never did and I’ll finally get to see it! WOOT!
