      envy those who are warm

      When I saw the poster by chance, I was attracted by the girl on it, with golden curly hair and big eyes, hugging a book in the midst of the raging war, but solemn and indifferent. Once, at that age, I was not a good bookworm. However, the years have been silent, and the years have grown, and I have also lost the arrogant idea of ​​reading all the books when I was young. He used to be a bookworm at the end of the world, knowing that this thief is not another thief, he found a movie, but just...

      Why do people kill each other

      First of all, sorry for my ignorance, I have never heard of this movie before. I saw it completely on the homepage of a movie download website. At the beginning, I chose this movie just because it was 1280. But after watching this movie with tears in my eyes, I really have a lot to say.
          Let’s talk about books first. Books are the ladder of human progress. No matter what kind of civilization, books are regarded as an important cultural carrier. The first text-only book I read was...

      Why is there war?

      Some people complain about the slow pace. I don't think the pace is too slow. If you've been worrying about whether the happiness of this group of people will last a little longer. If you've seen Pan's Labyrinth, you'll feel very familiar and natural to the rhythm of The Book Thief. The same beautiful little girl, with a similar fate, we can't help but wonder why such a beautiful thing is in the midst of war. In fact, you should ask why there is a war. If you have witnessed the whole process of...

      I always believe that to live peacefully and energetically

      I don’t see many works during World War II. After all, war films and disaster films always make people feel heavy. The most impressive one is probably “A Beautiful Mind”.
            Because my friend said she was a cute girl in the screenshot, I turned it over at home on weekends to take a look. The second line runs through in the tone of death, and the final scene is the home of 90-year-old Lisa. It is known that the director has a fairy tale heart and can use the most ordinary eyes to...

      Goodness and beauty in troubled times

      Maybe it's my personal love for books. When I saw the name of this movie, I was moved.
      Most of the time, watching a movie is the same as reading a book, but with a noble purpose of entertainment, so as not to make the spare time seem so empty. In fact, sometimes after reading a book or watching a movie, my heart will be even more empty.
      The film takes World War II as the background. The story is mainly set in a quiet town in Germany in 1939. The snowflakes shrouded this peaceful town....

      The actors all speak German English enough to make people play. This kind of war background does not talk about state affairs and only talks about personal affairs. It is really much lower-end than "The Wind Rises", and the protagonist has nothing to do with the background to some extent. And the title of the play is wrong. The girl loves books and steals books is only the first and middle part of the play. After taking in the Jews in the middle part, she begins to lust, and the ending ends in...

      The reason why the movie doesn't win big is not only the irresistible intentionality of the story, but also its endless end, which is beginning to tire. The writers should thank the cinematographer, scorer and actress Sophie Nellis for keeping the film from being abandoned. In the context of World War II, the movie is more like a dud, as if it is ready to explode at any time, and the process is not shocking...

      Why speak English? ! Does the story tell us that Reaper is a lolicon? There is no dissection of human nature, no indictment of war, no suspense, no tension, how mediocre! Haven't the director watched "The...

      Did Chen Kaige sell his soul to the devil back then? ? Farewell My Concubine can be so perfect! As if made in heaven! In contrast, the filming of the book thief has only achieved "putting it on the big screen". It's hard to be moved without a...

    The peculiarity of the film is that the narrator is death. From the perspective of the god of death, humans in the middle of the last century were stupid, cruel, and unreasonable. At the end of the film, the girl's adoptive parents did not escape the kiss of death, and both died in the bombing of the Allied forces. This scene of death is the most shocking and unforgettable. It is sudden, cruel and arrogant, but it is not terrifying. It...

    Movie quotes

    • [last lines]

      Death: I have seen a great many things. I have attended all the world's worst disasters, and worked for the greatest of villains. And I've seen the greatest wonders. But it's still like I said it was: no one lives forever.

      Death: When I finally came for Liesel, I took selfish pleasure in the knowledge that she had lived her ninety years so wisely. By then her stories had touched many souls, some of whom I came to know in passing. Max, whose friendship lasted almost as long as Liesel. Almost. In her final thoughts, she saw the long list of lives that merged with hers. Her three children, her grandchildren, her husband. Among them, lit like lanterns, were Hans and Rosa, her brother, and the boy whose hair remained the color of lemons forever.

      Death: I wanted to tell the book thief she was one of the few souls that made me wonder what it was to live. But in the end there were no words. Only peace. The only truth I truly know is that I am haunted by humans.

    • Rosa Hubermann: This is the stupidest thing I've ever done.

      Hans Hubermann: Yes, and just look how happy you are.

    • Narrator: [Narrator/Death] It's always been the same. The excitement and rush to war. I met so many young men over the years who have thought they were running at their enemy, when the truth was, they were running to me.
