Classic Movie

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2014)

After a long time, I have watched a movie which took me to a different world. There was tragedy, love, passion, family, warmth, humor, violence, curiosity and so on. Every character was simply terrific. They did not stretch the movie which was wonderful. The ending was touching. Simply a story of ordinary people conducting themselves in extraordinary fashion when faced with the hell of Hitler's Third Reich and World War II. The Book Thief is the kind of film you could show your children as a way to first begin a discussion of World War II and the Holocaust, but it never takes shortcuts from darker subject matter to reach this role. An excellent movie. The message of this movie is "to stand up for what you believe and don't let a group of people tell you otherwise." It is a must watch.
