Delicate and touching story - one of the best dramas of all times

Warning: Spoilers
Tragic drama involving a young boy's first pure and long-lasting love with a woman. One of the most emotional drama films I have ever seen.

A delicate story told in authentic environment of post-war Germany which is recreated in top style. The film shows how love changes people, and therefore the audience is openly questioned what is a real pure love.

This a very deep story with lots of unexpected turns, twists and subplots. Story has one of the most dramatic turns I have ever seen. This allows us to understand better the human nature.

The film provides another look at the bloody crimes committed during WW2 by some Germans in the concentration camps. The movie brings up a very important question of what is guilt.

This was Kate Winslet's the best movie so far. She was acting in an incredible way. It's not a surprise that she got Academy Award for this as a best actress. The young German actor David Kross has also showed that he is an immensely talented actor.

The directing is wonderful. The screenplay is one of the best.

All in all, the film is one best works of art I have ever seen with a touching story. It really deserves those nominations for Academy Awards.
