Titanic many years ago moved me to tears, but I didn't expect Winslet to move me so many years later, especially when I saw the passages read aloud in prison, I couldn't help crying!
At the beginning of the film, the erotic performance of an old woman and a young boy is incendiary. I just feel that Winslet's figure does not have the style of Rose in the past.
Later, in order not to let others know that she was illiterate, Hannah paid an astonishing price, which is completely unthinkable and unreasonable to others. It is self-evident that keeping secrets and avoiding punishment are more important. Maybe we can't understand... Ten years, the old woman in prison pressed the stop button in a panic when she heard the first thick syllable from the man on the tape. She began to read with difficulty, wrote him very short letters, and licked the envelope expectantly at the delivery desk. She began to be able to write her name down stroke by stroke on the receipt. All thanks to Kate Winslet's performance. This climax, the rendering of emotions and the portrayal of details, made it difficult to face it indifferently, and finally burst into tears...
The ending of the story was expected, but I would rather not be like that. 20 years later, 28 years later. She had gray hair and held out a crumpled hand, hoping he would hold it. Although he helped her arrange everything after her release from prison, it was too late when his hand escaped from her unsightly loose hand. Perhaps that little action made her once inferiority return to her once again. The pillar of her world has collapsed at that moment, so in the end she stood on the book she loved and ended her life, which is reasonable!
It's been a long time since a movie made me cry when I watched it, and I was immersed in it after watching it. "Life and Death" is the best movie I've seen in 2009! Kate Winslet is well deserved!
