Lightness and heaviness (does this count as a film review?)

I read the diary I wrote before. It can't be regarded as a film review at all...
============The dividing line of the text==================
Light and heavy
"Life and Death" In "Reading Aloud", the little girlfriend that the male protagonist met later was quite Jane Birkin's style. The same thin body, but also so stubborn and independent.
Those who have not experienced hardships and heavy burdens, are well educated, and do not have to worry about life and death, food and clothing, can naturally be like rock candy dolls: crisp, cold, and sweet. Participate in the seminar with a little curiosity, listen to the trial, and "go through history as someone else".
And Hannah, the heroine played by Winslet, has been soaked in the asphalt of history for the first half of her life. The filth that the world has imposed on her is ugly and sticky, and can't be washed away in a lifetime. Lotus Ruokai would rather commit suicide beside defecation, but what lives on the earth is a silent weed. No wonder she is as plump and solid as the mother of the earth. Only under such a solid crust can a shameful secret be hidden.

The Reader quotes

  • Rose Mather: People ask all the time what I learned in the camps. But the camps weren't therapy. What do you think these places were? Universities? We didn't go there to learn. One becomes very clear about these things. What are you asking for? Forgiveness for her? Or do you just want to feel better yourself? My advice, go to the theatre, if you want catharsis. Please. Go to literature. Don't go to the camps. Nothing comes out of the camps. Nothing.

  • Professor Rohl: Societies think they operate by something called morality, but they don't. They operate by something called law.

    Professor Rohl: 8000 people worked at Auschwitz. Precisely 19 have been convicted, and only 6 of murder.

    Professor Rohl: The question is never "Was it wrong", but "Was it legal". And not by our laws, no. By the laws at the time.
