A 2013 movie, about a brave young girl named Liesel. Starred by a beautiful young actress Sophie Nelisse as Liesel, Geoffrey Rush as Hans, and Emily Watson as Rosa. Adapted from the book with the same title, written by Markus Zusak.
Liesel is an orphan, she was adopted by Hans and Rosa. The movie was set in the World War II, where Nazi rules the world. The people is in fear, and every knock in the door could mean instant death.
Liesel loves to read books, the Nazi told the people to burn all the books, since she loves book so much, she managed to stole one book. When she stole that one book, the mayor's wife sees this and remember liesel in her heart.
One day a young man stop by to Hans' house and fall on the floor. Hans recognize this young man as one of his best friend's son who has sacrifice himself to help Hans. His name is Max, and they took him in to help him. Liesel was forced not to tell anyone about Max, or the Nazi will come and killed them all. Max was taken care by them until he was healthy enough to leave the house.
Liesel has a good friend named Rudy, a boy next door. They were so close, in school and at home. They look so cute together, it was like the morning dew of romance. They were so natural, I wish more teenagers could act like them.
Problem occur when the Nazi do the basement search, Hans hid Max so well, and the Nazi couldn't find him. Every now and then, Liesel goes to the mayor's house to deliver bread, and Ilsa, the mayor's wife lend him some books to read. She used her loved of books to read it all to the sick Max, which in the end help him to become healthy.
The scene and the scenario was beautifully written, we could feel the pain of war, where everybody lives in constant fear. But young Liesel was brave enough to show the world how human shouldn't be treated that way. Human should taken care of each other.
"Life never promised anything...So, I should start right away..", then she began to write her story in a book where Max gave her. I guess this is also a reminder for me, action is far more needed in every occasion in our life. That actions will determine our next phase in life, we might made the wrong decision, but at least we could learn from our mistakes. Wewww, I'm getting wiser XD.
In this movie I'm so amazed by Sophie Nelisse beauty, what a superb beauty! World Class indeed. She acted so gracefully and beautifully in every scene. The movie flows in just the right amount.
Making my Sunday afternoon so perfect, I gave this movie 4/5 Stars!
