The most interesting part was this guy next to me in class making a kill count.

While the plot didn’t seem to be very original, I was willing to give The Book Thief a chance as it had talented veteran actors involved. Unfortunately, I found it barely watchable on many occasions due to the presence of a pretty silly narration, unconvincing performances from part of the young cast, cringe-worthy dialogue at times and overtly sentimental situations that didn’t impact me. I thought it would be intriguing to see the children’s perspective of WWII, but the characters were shallow and everything seemed to be handled in a desperate attempt to provoke tears from the audience. I know many people here enjoyed the film and I’m pleased it worked for some, but I just couldn’t get emotionally invested by the story at all.

this book is one of my favorites. here are my thoughts! -the film absolutely did not touch upon how much rosa really loved liesel and hans. she was a little mean on occasion but everything she did was out of love, i feel like this movie just portrayed her as an asshole -i also wish they had focused more on the fact that the film is narrated by death. his narration made the book unique, and the lack of his narrative makes this just another story about nazi germany that being said: the film is still pretty good, i just find it’s missing some of the charm of the book

La gran maravilla de la existencia del humano es su capacidad única de crear e imaginar en las miles de posibilidades que se alzan en nuestro planeta. Desde el momento en que evolucionamos lo suficiente para distinguirnos como especie nuestro mundo se expandió para siempre y tal vez fuera lo único que nunca cambia entre los humanos nuestro miedo al gran misterio jamás resuelto en este universo : la muerte, el ser olvidados, que nuestra mera existencia se reduzca a…

“Quiero crecer antes de morir” Mi nuevo trauma cinematográfico. Tenía mucho miedo de ver esta peli, precisamente por eso, porque sabía que me iba a destrozar. Es una peli preciosa, pero muy muy triste, y no te deja descansar, porque cuando parece que todo va bien, llega otro malo momento. A mí la verdad que me ha encantado, me flipa la forma en la que retratan a Hitler, que no es nada más allá de la realidad por desgracia. Me…

Emocionante, confesso que tudo que achei que ia dar errado não dava errado, conseguiram me surpreender da pior forma possível. Agora que final merda vsf, achei mal explicado e confuso. Como assim ela não vai morar com a mulher do prefeito.

“If your eyes could speak, what would they say?” is such a great line. There’s a lot of stuff that happened which I could see work in the book, but for the movie it was just downright bad.

the movie was amazing up until it reached the 1 hour 50 min mark. the ending was actually so underwhelming it was crazy. SOPHIE NELISSE I LOVE YOU.

The Book Thief is heartbreaking, beautiful, and deeply human. It finds moments of warmth and kindness in the middle of something so tragic, and the story stayed with me long after the credits. Absolutely beautiful.

Not necessarily the worst adaptation I’ve seen, but I personally feel as though it lacked a lot of the emotional resonance the book had. Considering the book’s length, I don’t think they could’ve really done it another way. Nonetheless, rather interesting.

tenho certeza absoluta que essa foi a pior época da história do mundo, não canso e nunca vou cansar de chorar e imaginar a vida de todas as pessoas que estariam aqui se não fosse esses malditos espero que nunca nunca se repita novamente e nada chegue perto do estrago que foi na história da humanidade

At first, I thought some scenes were omitted or changed to compress the story and make it as child-friendly as possible but DAMN this isn’t an adaptation at all.. it’s a stolen premise!! I will never forgive how my favorite —and the most IMPORTANT — chapter of the book is not included here, and the greatest mistake here is dropping the charm of death’s narration! Big mistake. Big. Huge. And sorry but I don’t get the praises for Sophie Nelisse…

Sem sombra de dúvidas uma das melhores adaptações de livros, o filme trás aquilo de mais forte presente em nós, seja medo, raiva ou felicidade. Liesel é forte e determinada do início ao fim, sempre dando o melhor de si, tanto para evoluir como pessoa, quanto para ser boa para as pessoas ao seu redor, pessoalmente o filme é forte e tem um valor sentimental para mim, espero que todos possam desfrutar e aprender com ele. Foi aqui que a Saumensch e o Saukerl nasceram.

Une très belle surprise. Derrière ce titre vraiment nul se cache un très joli film qui prend un axe différent de d’habitude pour raconter la guerre. Je ne suis vraiment pas fan des films avec des enfants car je les trouve souvent très pénibles mais ici, force est de constater que Sophie Nélisse est vraiment naturelle et sans fioriture. Si on peut regretter que le fil rouge des livres est en définitive mal exploité, le reste nous livre

The Book Thief is a historical coming of age drama about a young girl who loses her family to the swift political changes radicalizing Nazi Germany and forced to live with foster parents. Directed by Brian Percival with a story by Markus Zusak, this film is as much about the importance of knowledge and the written word as it is about taking a stand and following your heart. Shot on a modest budget and filled with veteran stage actors its…

just finished the book and decided to watch the film straight away as i could see its film potential whilst reading i must say they casted the characters very well, max and papa looked so similar to how i pictured them did they leave significant things out yes, and yes i can understand the bad reviews to do with the random throwing around of german words, but it takes a lot for me to not see the good in films…

Um filme que eu assisto desde pequena e que, mesmo depois de tantas vezes, continua me fazendo chorar no final. Acho linda a história da Liesel, principalmente a forma como ela passa a amar os livros e depois começa a ler para o Max. E o Hans sempre disposto a estar ao lado dela deixa tudo ainda mais bonito. Amo todos os filmes que envolvem a segunda guerra mundial

I think the movie is too long for what it is, but it was a great movie. The main little girl looks exactly like a girl I went to grade school with. Also, if you’re looking for a feel good film don’t look here.

Markus Zusak, the author of the book thief, was my first touchpoint into the world of devastatingly beautiful prose. i speak about the novel with highest reverence; it is as endearing as it was when i first read it at age 9. however this movie adaption seems insufficiently interested in finding a cinematic language capable of replacing what it inevitably loses from the page. give me boiling reds, blinding white, the violent and the visceral. force me to inhabit death’s strange,…

So good. Horrible times, of course, and sad ending, but beautifully told. I’d advise to read the book first but the film is almost as good.
