Nov 3 2008 'The Reader' Trailer: Kate Winslett is Too Cheap to Buy Books on Tape
I've always wondered what people who read books are like. I bet they're really interesting, and usually have things to talk about that they've read, and do you think they smell nice? I bet they smell nice. With any luck, maybe I'll know one of these "readers" one day, but until then, I'll have to settle for this film about one.
In The Reader, Ralph Fiennes recollects how, as a teen, he had an affair with Kate Winslet that also involved him reading to her.

What I'm saying is this looks much better than Titanic.

I can't figure out why the poster calls this Revolutionary Road instead of its obvious real name, Titanic 2. Or why it says it's "based on the novel by Richard Yates," instead of "based on how Jack and Rose love each other so hard that even death could not stop them from being together." And why does the couple appear to be in a naturally lit home, rather than the largest boat of their time? The studio probably just didn't want this to immediately beat all of Titanic 1's box office records in the first weekend.
