Comments on the American film The Reader: In the film, Mike said to his daughter, "In fact, I have never been honest enough." Whether to others or to yourself. In the "honesty" from generation to generation, readers let us know the truth of an era. Venting also hides an unspeakable emotion. To what extent should we be honest and convincing when we re-face some history that we always avoid? Is that understandable? It just blows away the dust of history, but the heavy truth can never be accepted by you and me. So where will this frankness be placed? Many of David and Kate's passionate scenes in the film are actually about sex, but it seems reasonable that there is such a big age gap. The performances of the two actors are not surprising at all. In my opinion, this is why movies create a special atmosphere. In such a humid and cold environment even in summer, the teenager in Seeds of Love and a young woman with pure cold training will not be embarrassed in a gentle bathtub, in naked intercourse, or even in a "mother-child" outing for outsiders. On the contrary, just as this emotion has affected two people's lives, they seem to miss and support this emotion all their lives. The director's frank grasp of such an emotion and the subtle interpretation of such an emotion by three actors all played down the disharmony of this abnormal love itself, but moved us. However, what really takes us through the emotional proposition is the introduction and sublimation of the real theme of the film. In the inevitable loss and conflict of this abnormal love, Hannah chose to leave quietly. Many years later, when Mike attended the hearing of Nazi crimes in World War II as a law student, he was dismayed to find that Hannah was actually a war criminal accused of murdering 300 Jews. At this point, it is also the emergence of two major themes that support the second half of the film, which leads to the sublimation of the whole film. One is the humanistic reflection on that dark history, and the other is the reflection on the proposition of knowledge itself. Hannah in the court, like other identified criminals, did not deny her crime, but was extremely firm and frank. Yes, I did. When we marvel at her "indifference" and "ignorance" attitude, we can't help looking back at the dark age when everyone seems to be angry with her. In Auschwitz, many innocent Jews were brutally slaughtered by the Nazis. Hannah was also one of the executioners. Indeed, after watching the movie, we can't forgive her ignorance at that time. Like the surviving writer in the movie, we will never forgive her. However, from breaking through the individual moral and emotional norms and rising to the collective unconsciousness in the fanatical era, isn't Hannah a tragedy and a victim? The norm she stubbornly followed and the duty she adhered to turned out to be her defense for watching 300 people die in the fire. What would you do if you were her questioner? Actually, it will make everyone speechless. Accustomed to critically examining others' collectives from a certain moral height and "others" perspective, isn't it the root of our tragedies being copied again and again? I don't think the director and the audience, including you and me, will forgive and forgive Hannah's behavior, but she can be understood. And her example can be awakened by us and the times. However, compared with the real criminal who sat in the dock with her, but had no conscience to blame Hannah, Hannah was so honest and true despite her silly stubbornness. After the film came out, the biggest criticism of director Stephen Daldry was that he put a warm coat on the cruel history by artistic means, and even portrayed Hannah from the standpoint of understanding evil. But I think the director really understood that era, and there was such a person who was unconsciously pushed and held by those bloody hands. What he understands is not evil, but human nature and the helplessness of the times; He doesn't want to set things right for Hannah, but he wants us to be alert and calm when we recall, criticize and denounce those terrible years. Therefore, if the director is really criticizing and voicing, it must be those "penitents" who have been sentenced to four years in prison. The role of Mike is actually a perceptor sandwiched between history, emotion, morality and reason. His feelings with Hannah made him believe Hannah, but his rational understanding of history made him unable to avoid moral criticism and legal criticism of Hannah. So when Hannah was sentenced to life imprisonment in the film, Mike couldn't hide two lines of tears, was overwhelmed by panic during the trial, and finally turned away when he visited Hannah, which enhanced the power of humanistic care in the whole film. Like a blindfolded goddess symbolizing the law. I don't want to echo that this is the director's warm clothes, because in my opinion, this is precisely the love and strength that the director has in his heart when he is honest with history. Another theme of the movie, which runs through the whole movie, is the superficial theme: reading aloud, but let us look at Hannah and Mike from another side and think deeply in the whole movie. When Hannah met Mike, she asked Mike to read her a novel. Only in this way did she have sex with him. When she was guarding the Jews, she also chose a little girl to read novels to her. In fact, Hannah is illiterate, but she is eager for knowledge. She will cry happily when she listens to novels. But such a person, in order not to let others know that she is illiterate, in order to retain the last dignity in the face of the planting of * *, would rather choose life imprisonment. The director's setting is not only a criticism of ignorance, but also a lofty sustenance of knowledge. Ignorance itself is not a crime, but knowledge is often used by people with ulterior motives. Hannah is like a guard. Maybe she just wanted to be a guard, but she became a prisoner in the upsurge of the times. In China, during the Cultural Revolution, didn't many Hanna inexplicably become executioners?
