The Reader’s themes are interestingly similar to my book, What is Written on the Tongue, in that it is about making choices in impossible situations and how easy it is to let go our moral compass in times of peril or simply because we ‘follow’. As Roger Ebert said of The Reader; “I believe the movie may be demonstrating a fact of human nature: Most people, most of the time, all over the world, choose to go along. We vote with the tribe. What would we have done during the rise of Hitler? If we had been Jews, we would have fled or been killed. But if we were one of the rest of the Germans? . . . The Reader suggests that many people are like Michael and Hanna, and possess secrets that we would do shameful things to conceal.” - Anne Lazurko
