Standing on the street watching this play

If this review was written in pencil, there must be traces of repeated erasers. Because after thinking about it, I can't think of any pretentious sentence to open the review of The book thief.

It is not a truth film that makes you realize that you are heartbroken, but a film that spends your mind on three-dimensionalizing every character. Just as Max taught Liesel to describe the weather with the "if eyes could talk" hypothesis, the film managed to put me on the streets of paradise in WWII Germany, by the windows of Liesel's house and by a small lake with nothing but rudy and liesel. Read the whole story.

    The big background and the short story did not try to downplay war and death, but everything was light from beginning to end. Maybe the narrative is not ups and downs enough, and the plot is not so ups and downs, but every little character really lives in this heart-warming story, putting a lasting tenderness on the turbulent times. The German-sounding English is so good, I don’t know why anyone would complain about it.
