2014-12-06 20:04 Stealing seems to be a bad act, but during the war years, when food was scarce, she sneaked into a rich man's house and only stole books to read to dying relatives and friends. It is understandable to say noble. Liesa's story begins in Germany in 1939. She was sent to an adoptive family, the Hands home at No. 33 Paradise Street, Munich. Hans and his wife Rosa treated Lisa as their own, and the neighbor boy Rudy also adored Liesa. It's just that this little yellow-haired boy didn't finish saying "I love you" before he died. Of course Lisa understood his heart. He kept a secret for Lisa and dived into the icy river for her to salvage her diary. When his soul was taken away by death, Lisa still gave him the kiss she'd been betting on. The story is told slowly in the oral language of the god of death. If this is just a hard story of a small family, it is enough in the context of wartime. However, let the god of death tell it, then it is a life and death. Involuntarily, in the end, the Jewish Max, who was hidden by the Hans family, returned to Lisa, while the others were taken away by death on a night without an air raid siren. The story has never left Paradise Street, and revolves entirely around Lisa. The story of death also reminds us to think about what kind of life is meaningful, strong, just, and brave?

    I was almost able to become the second reader. The director's skill is still weak and this script worth digging wasted. In the end, the film was not at all energetic, and the book became a decoration without even clues. The clues are lovely love stories.

    Love and hope are inadvertently revealed. This is a beautiful and touching story.

The Book Thief quotes

  • Narrator: [Narrator/Death] It's always been the same. The excitement and rush to war. I met so many young men over the years who have thought they were running at their enemy, when the truth was, they were running to me.

  • Rudy Steiner: What's an accountant?

    Hans Hubermann: Something we will never need.
