Please, everyone, I beg of you: WATCH THIS MOVIE. Even if you think it’s all “political and polarizing” or just plain boring, please watch it. It’s not at all boring. It’s fascinating and powerful and profoundly important.
(For Netflix people, here’s a link to the free instant streaming version — no excuse!)
Oh, and those of you that have seen it, you know the hidden camera scenes of the people loading chickens into cages at night? I have literally done that. It’s crazy! …and awful… long story…
Just finished watching The Reader (which I reluctantly put on, expecting to fall asleep, disinterested.)
Two thoughts: 1) It’s a phenomenal movie. Powerful and brilliant on many levels. And, 2) It really saddens me how Hollywood advertisers portray films a certain way just to attempt to make more money. This movie is absolutely NOT what I half-expected from the trailers, posters, and DVD cover. It’s not at all the steamy period-piece romance they make it look like. It’s a gut-wrenching masterpiece. One of the best I’ve seen in a long time.
