Vanila movie about Nazism

Rating: 1/10 (5 April 2014)

This movie is strongly overrated, that's why I give it only one star, although I'd give it 5 stars under different circumstances for excellent acting and topic.
During watching this movie, I felt very disturbed by stupid dialogues, unbelievable scenes, completely vanilla mood of the movie, everyone and surroundings are clean like from the glamour war postcards. Good Nazi propaganda movie about hard but tolerable life of a small Nazi district in Stuttgart during the war. Bad British Avros who bombed the city and killed very peaceful civilians. I felt even sorrow when the truck full of Nazi soldiers including the character of Geoffrey Rush was exploded. What is that? Another Hollywood vision of the life of Germans during the war? Why is it so glamour? Why is it so untrue and unfair to Jewish people? Honestly, I didn't feel much about the girl robbing the house of the burgmeister and her insinuations on the theme of the Nazism. It was not convincible. I didn't understand what was the sense of inclusion of the Death narrations either. It's trivial for everyone that war is bad and people die. It gave me strong impression like of watching a movie for kids, and not for adults. Those narrations and the final image of Death walking along the streets completely disconnect from the content and from the whole movie.
All in all, this movie is a classical example of a glamour and banal Hollywood production; the example of how the movies should not be made.
I'd recommend watching Life is Beautiful and Pianist instead, and of course Schindler's List. The Book Thief is just a poor attempt to contribute something to the genre.
