The peculiarity of the film is that the narrator is death. From the perspective of the god of death, humans in the middle of the last century were stupid, cruel, and unreasonable. At the end of the film, the girl's adoptive parents did not escape the kiss of death, and both died in the bombing of the Allied forces. This scene of death is the most shocking and unforgettable. It is sudden, cruel and arrogant, but it is not terrifying. It only leaves people with deep sadness ().
This is an ingenious "World War II" movie, where there are also extremely vicious Nazis, there are also evil deeds of arresting Jews, there are also air strikes, and there are deaths, just like all "World War II" movies. But the first thing "Book Thief" caught our attention is that it connects war with books. It tells us the story of a "Book Thief" Lissell who loves books and steals books. This story exudes warmth. , Exuding energy, exuding the light of human nature ().
The mediocre quality of the film only cut a circle of hopeless nominations for it. Although there are beautiful pictures, lofty layouts and extraordinary interpretations by veterans such as Jeffrey Rush and Emily Watson, the childhood legend of cute Lori pursuing knowledge and harbouring Jewish acquaintances in this era of war is still lengthy. After all, the appearances of German beings in World War II depicted in the movie for more than two hours have long been commonplace in the audience. Under the same horror of Jewish abuse, Nazi brainwashing, and the pain of the people participating in the war, the core of its expression is really difficult to distinguish. The plot of "Stealing Books" has long been submerged in the massive branch plots. Those tear-jerking clichés only succeed in reminding us of those similar masterpieces that have keen insight and unearthed unique details of war. The comprehensive audio-visual effect of "Book Thief" is remarkable, but the excellent production level only highlights the weakness of the content ().
