Django Unchained and The Reader

Django Unchained had great acting with very genre specific overacting. The director sets a very ambitious target and gets there. The use of rap music in the background was interesting. I didn't follow enough of the music to comment upon it specifically.

The Reader featured Kate Winslet  magnificently a person more like us than we ordinarily care to admit. A flawed person asked to explain past choices about instances where there were none to make. A comment on the grandness of society and laws made and glorified to uphold none but themselves. The twist of her being illiterate adds another layer to the narrative.

Both very enjoyable.
