never had a war movie that brought me such an ordinary touch. This is an ordinary story, but it was so touching because it took place in the Second World War. The movie "The Book Thief" is based on death. For the narration, but not at all scary, a little girl's growth experience in the war years, love inadvertently moved people, and hope that people can see the light of humanity.
The film is adapted from the original work of the same name. Although the film has a very large deletion and modification of the original work, it even weakens the core plot of "Stealing the Book" to a large extent in the film, but in my eyes, the film only needs to be loyal to the origin of the novel. , Even if the entire storyline is subverted, it will still be a very good movie. This is the case with "The Book Thief". The adaptation did not affect the original work itself on humanity and thinking about war. On the contrary, the beautiful and moving little girl in the movie With excellent shooting techniques, the story and characters suddenly come to life. The film tells the story of a little girl in foster care, her parents, neighbors, and a Jew hiding in her home in Germany under the Nazis in World War II. "Book Thief" is a very typical film with a small and broad story. The development of the plot of the characters seems to be calm. The scene has never left the town, but it is always full of the pulse of the times. The two main lines of the movie heroine, the little girl, The family relationship with the adoptive parents, the love and friendship between the little boy and the Jews hiding at home, the age of war promotes the development of the plot, this small street called Paradise Street, because of the war, discrimination, separation, death, broken It took nearly one-third of the time to depict such an ordinary but heart-warming side street in Paradise. The narration of the god of death in the movie has always been the key to the development of the film's plot. The war is about to begin, and people are cheering about the war, but the god of death said at this time: "They are cheering for the war, but they are cheering for me." For the turning point in the movie, it began to show the change of life on Paradise Street after being shrouded in the haze of war. Under the simple lens, each little girl's beloved people left, let It is a wonderful feeling that people inadvertently contemplate the horrors of war but have a warm feeling for the truth in their heart.
This is a movie that is so perfect in my eyes. Its perfection is not only in the plot of the movie, but also in the filming technique. Few movies use the two-tone switching between cold and warm. The co-prosperity approach, because it will make the theme of the film not clear enough, and in "The Book Thief", the application of this technique is indeed so successful. The film has gradually broken the life of Paradise Street from the constant atrocities of the Nazis. , People feel the fear and haze of the war, and on the other side, the warm-toned adoptive father’s house is playing the accordion for the heroine, the little girl and the little boy shouting the Hitler dictator's curse by the forest lake, and a series of beautiful things. The presentation of the lens is beautiful, and it makes people feel the warmth of family and love, love and hope, which is inadvertently revealed on the screen. This is a beautiful and touching story.
The final ending of the movie may seem tragic, but I would rather understand it as a complete story. The air raid finally destroyed the entire Paradise Street, and everyone on the side streets died. Only she survived and spent her time. After a long and happy life, maybe you will ask? All the people you love are dead, isn't this desperate? The ending of the movie Grim Reaper may be the best answer: "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." Life can only be repaid at any time. With love and hope, life will not end.
