The Book Thief


Based on the beloved bestselling book, The Book Thief tells the inspirational story of a spirited and courageous young girl who transforms the lives of everyone around her when she is sent to live with a new family in World War II Germany.

This was a great movie told about Nazi Germany in one of the more light hearted ways considering the subject matter.  It was all basically through the eyes of a child and it put a different perspective on everything and really hooked you in.  Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson were great as the adopting parents and the girl was perfectly cast with her innocent look.  There were times where I felt the movie was too simple or too fluffy considering what was happening, but they still had you hooked and you cared about all the characters and what they were going through.

I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out.  I thought it would be better and maybe it's level of greatness might have been effected by that but I still enjoyed it very much.
