Beautiful Movie

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2014)

I am speechless right now, just finished watching The Book Thief. The first thing that comes to my mind, is beautiful. Beautifully moving, touching, succinct in the very essence of life itself on all levels– love, family, loss, death, hopes, wishes, disappointments, dreams, loyalty, compassion and earnest friendship. This movie touched my heart, and I am so very glad to be reminded of tenacity of humanity. The will to live, to do right and preserve in the face of obstacle. I've been reminded of old and new life lessons by watching this movie. It has opened my eyes have more understanding for another perspective of Nazi Germany especially for those innocent people (Germans & Non- Germans) who were not trying to partake in the destruction of mankind, regardless of another persons race or religion. Bless the innocence of a genuine character of a person like Rudy.
