The reader is a multi-layered and complex movie which was skillfully acted by Kate Winslet. One theme is a love between a boy and a woman. The other one is the collaboration of the woman with the holocaust as a guard of Auschwitz concentration camp. The movie was narrated by the eye of the man. Their relationship seems like an allegory which symbolizes the post-war and war generations each. The movie also tries to remind us the ordinariness of the people committing the crime and asks whether the naivety can be the excuse for doing horrible things. The illiteracy of the woman is a symbol as a question to audience and a bridge of love, too. Is it ok to sentimentalize the unsentimentalizable? It was a thought-provoking film.
