Wonderful character development!
Truly Dreadful Film
Sadly Over-hyped
An Exercise In Nonsense
I havent read the book, however I was very moved by the movie! Seldom have I been captivated by a story about war before but this is different. Liesle, hans and rudy specifically are unbelievably real. I think its an undertrates movie
If you read the book then it's not woth watching, also there is cheap propaganda in the movie.
The movie has good scenery and seem to be historically correct, but it fails in the acting. The main character seems plain and doesn't evolve at all during the movie (I know to cast a child is hard, but they failed hard on that). The characters doesn't get the proper deepness they need to the public to feel closer to them (except maybe Rosa and perhaps Rudy), they doesn't walk comfortably in their world, their actions doesn't seem natural and justificated. Maybe it was just me, but the accent and the mix of languages doesn't quite fit in, especially considering that they were on Germany and they were on war against English people!, they should just make everyone speak english as if it were a translation (though this is my personal preference)
I like everything about this movie the plot is amazing.Many movies tried to depict WW2 but the book thief did it perfectly.it was as awesome as Schindler's list. NO, I'm not exaggerating. The funny thing is while watching it and listening to the soundtracks I said to myself; oh god. Who's the genius composer. Could it be John Williams? And yes he was.The soundtracks profoundly touched my feelings.stunning acting by the whole crew.Without doubt you have to watch. this movie can be watchable several time without getting bored at all.Highly recommended.
