关于二战纳粹的电影看了许多，这部是比较最温和的，因为仅是战后的审判，没有惯常的集中营内的恐怖镜头。只是剧情的展开仍然自始至终都有一种悲哀的气氛。两个男主人公（少年与成年期）和凯蒂均表演出色。尤其凯蒂在饰演狱中汉娜老年阶段时，与其当初的年轻美丽完全判若两人；无怪轻而易举夺走本届奥斯卡最佳女主角小金人。同十几年前看泰坦尼克的罗丝时相比，如今的凯蒂演技更加炉火纯青。只是影片内容份量若还可以再加重一些就会感觉更好。。

The Reader is a 2008 drama film based on the 1995 German novel of the same name by Bernhard Schlink. The film adaptation was written by David Hare and directed by Stephen Daldry. Ralph Fiennes and Kate Winslet star along with the young actor David Kross. It was the last film for producers Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack, both of whom died before it was released. Production began in Germany in September 2007, and the film opened in limited release on 10 December 2008.
It tells the story of Michael Berg, a German lawyer who as a teenager in the late 1950s had an affair with an older woman, Hanna Schmitz, who then disappeared only to resurface years later as one of the defendants in a war crimes trial stemming from her actions as a concentration camp guard late in the war. Michael realizes that Hanna is keeping a secret she believes is worse than her Nazi past, a secret that may cost her at the trial.
Winslet and David Kross, who plays the young Michael, have received much praise for their performances. Winslet received praise and won a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, BAFTA Award for Best Actress, Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress and the Academy Award for Best Actress at the 81st Academy Awards for her role in the film. The film has also been nominated for several other major awards.
