Facts have proved so. Liesel couldn't sleep at her adoptive parents' house on the first day. He hypnotized herself by humming a lullaby. After Hans heard it, he used the accordion to play a cheerful version for her the next morning until she was bombarded by the stern adoptive mother. open. Obviously it's a very small thing, but to me, it's almost like waking up from a dream that is too real. I don't know why I shed tears at that moment of empathy.
Loving father and strict mother. Hans always winked at Liesel after Rosa yelled at Liesel, and then the three of them gathered around the table in the small room to form an ordinary family.
Even though he would be bullied by annoying older children at school, at least there is still Rudy, a childhood sweetheart, who can be trusted and can run together.
The color of the movie is obviously so cold, the blue-gray of the blockbuster, and it is almost always cloudy and snowy outside. Just like the upcoming war, it is heavy on the heart. Although it will not be suffocated immediately, you know that sooner or later there will be such a day.
But all this happened quietly and indifferently. Hans is always so kind and kind, although Rosa rarely smiles on her face, is mean and often impatient, until the Jewish Max's visit, Rosa's inner integrity and kindness slowly emerged from her impatience yelling. Although she is anxious about the safety of her family, she also understands the cost of promises. She took good care of Max and told Liesel to keep a secret, doing the washing meticulously to make ends meet. Life continues, although sometimes she needs to make hard decisions (such as letting Max move to the basement), but you know that only such a strong and sometimes arrogant middle-aged woman can resist the burden of life, day after day Going on with a frown, full of resilience.
I started from their unforgettable Christmas, and gradually brewed the sadness and emotion of being overwhelmed. Liesel went to the basement every day to describe the weather outside for Max; she negotiated with Hans to move the snow that Max couldn't see into the basement, and even encouraged the severe Rosa to join their snowball fights, piled up snowmen under the ground without people and sunshine. Night talks around the furnace.
Rosa said this was the stupidest Christmas she had ever had. Liesel said it was her happiest Christmas. Max said it was his first Christmas. And Hans blinked broadly as usual, saying good night.
Max gave Liesel a gift, a blank book. He said that everything has anims, and words can give them real meaning.
He encouraged her and wrote it down. Store all the good memories.
Max fell ill because of the melting of the snowman. They dared not ask a doctor, and only took care of the drowsy patients as much as they could.
The guilty Liesel said, you promised not to leave me. You promised.
She wanted to keep Max awake, so she read the only book for him, Nirvana from the fire, the invisible man. After reading it over and over, he still didn't wake up, so she made the decision to steal the book from the German officer's house. Book after book, not only to Max, but also to himself. Those words bred and grew in her heart. In this unknown and undisturbed basement, she has an audience, a wall of dictionaries, and a story of the whole world. She grows silently in the stories of those characters, becomes discerning right from wrong, and becomes Strong and wise. From the beginning of following the public chanting slogans and following the heads of state, to later shouting "I hate Hitler" unscrupulously, words always have the greatest power to awaken people's pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty.
The day Max woke up, Rosa came to the school to tell her. The two held to tears in the corridor. At that moment, they finally let go of their guards and leaned on each other like a real mother and daughter.
On the day Max left, he said: This is good to your family. Liesel cried: but you are my family.
You promised you won't go anywhere.
Everyone is leaving. Liesel then began to write down her memories in a blank book. At the beginning, the train, heavy snow, then Hans and Rosa, the blond boy next door, the gentle eyes of the German officer’s wife, a whole book of books, the sleeping Max, the calming accordion that sounded in the air-raid shelter, or about yourself and the dead One by one, the imaginary story of the sky, the sky full of stars looking up from the empty alley, that is tens of thousands of gentle souls...
In such a troubled world, hope is the trust of friends, the support of family members, and the music The infection of humans, as well as those distant and close stories in the books, yours, mines, and strangers' stories, strong enough to overcome the fear of death, they comfort the soul, irrigate the will, and understand the sin and beauty of human beings. Only with these can she really survive until the day when she reunites with Max.
As the narrator said, Everybody will die eventually, no matter how much effort you tried. War can take the lives of everyone in the town, but it can't take away her memories, her peace, her love and hope for life.
You know, the eternal topic of mankind is always these two words.
PS
I can't help but think of "The Reader", which is also a similar story. And I was crying like a dog. Although in hindsight, a bit of a standpoint is a bit subtle.
