Book thief

I have always liked watching movies about World War II, so I came across this American/German co-produced "Book Thief". The film is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by the Australian author Markus Zusak, and is narrated in the first person by the god of death. Regarding the story of World War II, the brilliance of human nature is revealed inadvertently. The little girl didn't show any timidity in acting in front of the two play bones of Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson. The only flaw was that she felt that she was too crafty and deliberate.

The movie that Emily Watson impressed me the most was "She is Lonely Than Fireworks", a genius cellist, a woman spoiled by her family, such a literary and artistic film star now starred in the image of a German woman who was originally crude and mean, and The Australian actor Geoffrey Rush, who once starred in the "Speech of the King" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, played the heroine's stepfather without any pressure. This honest man made the little girl who left her parents feel the warmth and love of home again. Go to school.

Because half of it is made in Germany, the perspective of this movie is also the perspective of Germans watching World War II. Hitler ordered the "non-German" things to be burned to ashes, and this savage cultural catastrophe was experienced by the protagonist. The relationship beyond friendship and family affection between Jewish Marx and the little girl is also another main line of the film, and books are also the bridge and the foundation of the relationship between the two.

Contrasting with the fighting among tens of thousands of people on the battlefield, Lisaer's reading and writing powers made the god of death widen his eyes in surprise. While collecting souls on the battlefield, he pondered the esoteric nature of humanity: Why is it human? Show the cruel killing, but also have the love from the heart? Outside the air-raid shelter, the planes of the Allied forces bombed the land where they lived. Lisel told a story about darkness and light. The story comforted every uneasy heart...

Many years later, the god of death went to greet Lisel’s soul. Sitting by the noisy road, the god of death couldn't help but sigh: "Human! Human nature haunts my heart! How can human nature be so bright and evil at the same time!" It also embodies the truest side of human nature. .

There is a bit of good and a bit of evil in human nature, just add water and harmony.

The Book Thief quotes

  • Max Vandenburg: Where's my weather report?

    Max Vandenburg: [Liesel shows a snow ball] You're full of wonders.

  • Liesel Meminger: There once was a ghost of a boy who liked to live in the shadows, so he wouldn't frighten people. His job was to wait for his sister, who was still alive. She wasn't afraid of the dark, because she knew that's where her brother was. At night, when darkness came to her room, she would tell her brother about the day. She would remind him how the sun felt on his skin, and what the air felt like to breathe, or how snow felt on his tongue. And that reminded her that she was still alive.
