For the most part, you will come out seeing this film with what you expect. "The Book Thief" takes place during the Holocaust, a subject seen in many other renowned films, but the beauty of this story comes from the perspective viewers get - that of a child's. There is an excellent blend of different pieces that move the film along well - the violence and the intensity of the time period, the touching relationships between friends and family, and the humor they all share. Though it's nothing new, the writing and lines are still great and make the characters very likable. Performances by the entire cast, no matter how small or large a role they play, are certainly deserving of praise. Even
This film followed the book fairly closely (important in my opinion), telling the story of what people will do for each other in order to survive. Acting was good, although I felt that the actors struggled a bit with the accents.
absolutely fantastic movie
This movie is so incredible amazing. It is very deep, well made and acted, fantastic story line, and about one of my most favorite subjects in the whole wide world - literature. Plus, the scenery is wonderful and so are the outfits that people wear.
