I really liked the movie review about "The Readers" written by my master, so I downloaded one and watched it myself. After reading it, I wanted to write something. . .
In the whole film, the scene that impressed me the most was when Michael turned away suddenly when he was about to visit Hanna. I clearly remember Michael's sudden change of expression and his stagnant footsteps... When he stepped out of the door, the heavy snow and the crashing memories made Michael feel colder. . . I wonder if Hanna had any hope for Michael when she was waiting for this uninvited guest in the visiting room. . . . . . A few years ago, in a heavy rain, Hanna accidentally met Michael on the road. After helping Michael who was seriously ill, Hanna hugged him and said everything would be fine. . . In this heavy snow, Michael retreated. His love and sense of justice were shattered by fear of public morality.
When he was diagnosed with scarlet disease, his family kept away from him. And Hanna called him so affectionately, Kid, Kid, Kid....
His love used to be so impulsive and full of courage. In order to buy her flowers, he sold his beloved stamps; he kissed Hanna beside the proprietress who thought it was a mother-son outing on the way out; he wrote poems for her, the happiness of reading aloud again and again... Reading for others is boring. But when he was young, he kept reading, reading "The Odyssey", "Woman with a Puppy", and also reading pornographic chapters when the two were in the bathtub, but she said "this is disgusting..." He stopped reading those , perhaps a chapter full of temptation for 15-year-old boys.
Until that day, Honna left, she was unwilling to protect the broken Michael and broken feelings.
The completeness of his presence is more important than a sound of love. Without him holding that so-called love empty-handed, it would hurt both parties. So she went. An Entire U is Much More Important than a Piece of Love.....
On the night Michael had sex with his female classmate, Michael chose to go back to the house by himself to sleep. I bet he had a dream about Hanna that night. He wanted to quietly guard his memories by himself, guarding Hanna by his side. Maybe he remembered the days when he betrayed Hanna emotionally, and he was afraid that she would no longer appear in his dreams when she left.
The law professor said that when a murderer is sentenced, he should refer to the law of the time, not the present, because the murderer may not have realized that it was wrong at the time. But at that time the whole of West Germany was immersed in the denunciation of the Nazis, just like a historical period in our history. The Germans tried the Nazis, indeed, to escape themselves. They don't know that their indifference is also an accomplice of the catastrophe. In a movie called "The Tide", we can understand the fear and expectation of this trend of thought in people's hearts. They, like Honna, were still at trial unaware that they were victims of activism.
Honna asked the judge, if it were you, what would you do?
After Honna became literate, perhaps consciousness just realized the mistakes she made out of ignorance. But the Kid she once loved and looked forward to, maybe she still loves that Kid, but there is no way to complete a role change. Due to inertia, she still looks at Honna from the perspective of a stranger, which makes Honna despair and give up. She stepped on the stories and books that made her happy and said goodbye.
Honna says it's all over isn't it? Honna said don't think about it, the deceased is dead.
Honna wrote in her will to say hello to Michael for me. He is no longer Kid. He is Michael.
There is a sentence in the slogan of the movie, How far would you go to protect a secret? Even if the heart is dead and the love is gone, the secret must be a secret.
Still like Michael when he was young, because of the kiss he gave Honna when he was out with her.
