I saw this movie by accident yesterday. I haven't read the original book before, so I don't know how the characters are portrayed in the original book, and whether the movie has any intention of deviating from the original book. From the movie alone, I can see the two sides of human nature.
The heroine Liesel was sent by her mother to her adoptive parents. The adoptive mother gave me the impression that she was grumpy, foul-mouthed, rude and savage, but no one could have imagined that she would be able to take in a Jew in her own home and help him in such an environment. Come back to life and let him stay in his basement for a long time.
I was impressed by the voiceover of Max, the Jew, as he escaped from his home, with excitement in his guilt. A person whose family is about to be killed by the Nazis and whose mother has exchanged his eligibility to escape, feels not only sadness and guilt, but also a trace of excitement to escape. For this sentence, I really feel like a stroke of genius.
The house was bombed, and in the ruins, the unreasonable Nazi soldiers were looking for survivors and carrying corpses in the ruins. At this time, even the god of death said: I have seen the worst side of human nature, and I have seen human nature at its best. side.
