It's vacation time...and that means lots of books, movies, sleeping in, catching up with friends, eating out and playing hookey from all kinds of work that needs to get done.Today I was able to knock off several items on the above list. A good friend and I met for lunch at a Tuscan-style restaurant, talked non-stop and then went to see The Reader. Amazing movie and equally amazing soundtrack. I had to buy it from iTunes as soon as I got home.
Kate Winslet truly deserved her Best Actress Oscar. She didn't play the part of Hanna, she inhabited the part. She's fearless on camera; she'll try anything and do anything that makes her character be more alive, more real, to the viewer. But it's the nuances, too. In one of the final scenes of the movie, when Hanna's much older, the slight curve of her shoulders suggests her age better than any words could.
Go see it - you won't be disappointed.
