At the beginning of the film, it explained a small fact to us from the perspective of death, just as death said: a small fact, you are going to die. Human beings are mortal, this is an unchangeable fact. I'm sorry I'm such a spoiler, (it's obviously still a very empathetic death god), my advice is, when death comes, don't panic, because it's useless.
After saying this, the film's photography slowly followed the death's perspective to the heroine Liesel. This does not mean that Liesel's soul will be taken away by the death, but that the death is occasionally attracted by the living. What is the reason for attracting death to stop? The god of death said that although he didn't know Liesel well, he was fascinated by her humming, so he cared about her.
And Liesel's current situation is not good. Her parents are suspected of being communist and they are hunted down by the Nazis. Her father is arrested, her 6-year-old brother died on the road, and her mother is missing. She was sent to a foster family in the outer suburbs of Munich, and the only companion She went to the foster home with the book "Gravedigger's Handbook" that she accidentally found when her brother was buried.
Fortunately, the adoptive parents of the foster family are all kind people. The adoptive father is considerate, while the adoptive mother is hard-hearted and soft-hearted. With the help of her adoptive father, her emotional sustenance was slowly liberated from a "Gravedigger's Handbook". Although his adoptive father didn't know a lot of words, he slowly read the Gravedigger's Handbook to Liesel from the beginning, while chalking down the words that Liesel might know and learn on the basement wall , So far, Liesel slowly gained new peace and tranquility in the sea of books.
The neighbor boy Rudy seems to have liked Liesel from the first sight. He will trick Liesel's adoptive mother to take her to school, take her to play ball, help her dive in the winter to pick up the notebook from Max, always. It is the occasional request to compete with Lissel for a kiss. Although it was all empty in the end, Rudy's simple and pure love is also the most impressive part of the film, so I especially hope that when the final air crash strikes, he will be able to. I woke up with Liesel's call and kiss, but it didn't work out.
Liesel is an unfortunate and lucky girl. Although she has been displaced, she has met many people who like her. First, her adoptive father taught her to read and write, so that she can be nourished and grown in reading, and then in the mayor's wife's selfishness. Next, she saw more books, but because of the mayor's obstruction, she no longer had the opportunity to read normally, but in order to wake up the seriously ill Max, she chose to go to the mayor's house to "steal books" to read Max listens. The process of reading is also a process of enriching herself. Gradually, she has grown into a girl who can distinguish right from wrong, and has courage and strength. For example, at first, she would follow everyone and shout some Nazi remarks, but then she dared to shout "hate Hitler"; she woke up the sleepy Max by reading a book, and told a story to the neighbors who took refuge in the deep air raid shelter. Temporary peace and tranquility, and used my own strength to accompany my adoptive mother to spend it. After my adoptive father was asked to join the army, I was confused and uneasy. As a result, my adoptive father was sent back by the army because of his injury. In the air raid of the war, Rudy, who loved her adoptive parents and had lemon-yellow hair, was taken away by the god of death. Only Liesel survived and met Max after the war, and had a better ending of her own. .
It's just everything in the past. When Death finally came to greet her, she would find that she always remembered the adoptive father who played the accordion, the nagging adoptive mother, Rudy, the boy with lemon-yellow hair, and her parents and younger brother, Death himself. Said that when he greeted Liesel, he would be a little happy in his heart, because he thought that Liesel had lived wisely for more than 90 years in her life, and she was one of the very few that would make the god of death think about the meaning of life. One of the souls of her, I think this is also one of the reasons why the god of death would stop and be attracted to her in the first place.
