Who cried their eyes out???
I know i did. =( so sad.
I'm so adjective I verb nouns!
nobody I guess
shareAlmost cry, yes. But no, I didn't cry my eyes out.
I don't have much sympathy for Hanna.
I had sympathy for the person she *could've* become. if she had not joined the S.S. if she had been more intelligent. I think in the end she does finally admit her warcrimes. (Giving the Tin and the $. however tacky the gesture was she meant it.) I think she realized that she had no future with Michael and decided that she ahd no reason to live.
I had sympathy for Michael who was devestated by his relationship with Hanna and seemed to never get over it. it affected his lovelife and his relationship with friends and family.
~I love the rhythm it is my methoood!~
It was more devastating to watch Michael and how heart-wrenching to see the impact Hanna had on his life - failed marriage, distant from his mother and daughter, etc. Seems Hanna was the one person he truly loved and never got over her.
share^^ This. How older Michael was listening to a recording of the song the children were singing in the church when he and Hanna went on the bike ride was so sad to me.
I cried when Michael was reading to Hanna and she was crying as she was so into the story. They had such a complicated relationship, it's hard to describe it, and I'm not very articulate....

Not me. It wasn't that kind of movie. But if I'd cried at all, it would have been for the Jews they locked in the church.
shareYes, I cried twice. I never do that. Last time was with DANCER IN THE DARK. This film was one of the moving films I've seen. I already look forward to watching it again.

I cried too. Several times during the moves, it was horrible.
shareThat would be me :) yes sad and touching and emotional and very well acted plus more I can't think of right now - 9/10
shareI definitely cried the first couple of times I watched it. When Michael is sitting in Hanna's jail cell after she's dead and is listening to the warden read out her will, I couldn't hold back the tears. When Michael started crying himself, I couldn't help it. Very poignant film.

This was the same part that moved me; I almost cried when Michael did. That I had never seen Ralph Fiennes cry onscreen before somehow made the moment all the more poignant for me.
I didn`t exactly cry my eyes out but let´s say they were not dry. It is a very moving film (English is not my native language so I´m not sure which adjective I should use), maybe the most heartbreaking film I´ve ever seen. In spite of (or maybe just because) Hanna was guilty of heinous crimes. The most emotive moments in the film were when Hanna and Michael were reunited in the prison after all these years and when Michael fell in tears in the cell after Hanna´s suicide . The Reader is one of these rare films which always stay in the heart and mind.
