Watch The Book Thief For Free

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Pretty Good

From my favorite movies..

A Masterpiece!

The film takes place in Nazi Germany. The opening narration is done by Mr. G. Reaper (Roger Allam). Liesel (Sophie Nélisse) is going to live with new parents. Unknown to her at this time, her mother was taken away because she was a communist. Liesel lives with some good Germans who care for her as their own. Liesel is illiterate but takes a shine to reading. She gets engrossed in reading books, while her loving adopted Papa (Geoffrey Rush) walks the fine line by hiding Max (Ben Schnetzer) a Jew whose father saved his life in WWI. The film gets its title from the fact Liesel would steal (and then return) books from the Burgermeister.The film contains both the feeling on impending doom and hope simultaneously. I felt like I was reading poetry while I watched the film. It was that well done. The performances were spectacular.Must see film for those who love a great movie. It is Oscar worthy.

I think the film stands, hence my rating.I'm more of a film watcher than a novel reader, but in my experience, for book adaptations, it is exceptional to find a film that matches the original novel, and this isn't one of those exceptions.If you haven't read the book or seen the film, then my advice would be to see the film first, then read the book, but do read the book. That way you have every chance of enjoying both.

The Book Thief is narrated by the Grim Reaper himself but it needs more than this gimmick to stand apart from other films that tread a similar path about people growing up in Nazi Germany during the war.Liesel (Sophie Nélisse) is fostered by a childless older couple, Hans (Geoffrey Rush) and Rosa (Emily Watson) as her communist mother cannot look after her. Living in a small village, kindly Hans teaches her to read and Liesel acquires a love of books. While others in village are burning books, she steals them to read.The household also hides a young Jewish lad called Max and in among a village that consists of Nazi sympathisers and bullies she develops a friendship with Rudy, both develop a hate for Nazis in a world that has become increasingly dangerous.The film has a sad and touching finale. I do not think I am giving much away given who narrates this film. However I found the film flat and trite. It was also too long which means kids watching it would get restless.The movie does have one great line which is delivered by the Grim Reaper. He recounts that some of the people that Liesel encountered, he met them in passing!

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.
