A great movie

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2019)

I read the book years ago and really enjoyed it and so was intrigued to see the movie adaptation. It generally was a great effort. They captured the period really well, not only showing the horrors but also adding the closeness and charm and good nature of the community, well some of them anyway. Great acting from all the cast, moments of sadness, humour and love. Although fictional, It demonstrated that not everyone was bad during they awful period, done were decent human beings with compassion who simply could not fight back or stop what what was happening. Strength and life in many ways were portrayed as the written word, the books the book thief wrote, stole and read. A great movie. Watch it.
