This movie should've been called The Time Thief. Okay, okay. I know that it isn't fair for me to start a review that way but damn it. I wish it had stopped many times and it refused to. Its rare when I think to myself “Just die already!” when watching something, but I did. This movie, The Book Thief, is about a little girl being taken and adopted by some people in Germany when it is all about the Nazi coming up and Hitler beginning his reign of terror.
This
girl is on a train with her mom and brother and everyone looks
miserable. Death is narrating and starting off with something like
“You will all die one day.” I'm like, wow. Way to start a movie!
The little brother just up and dies because its the 1930's and that's
what folks did. They bury him and she steals a book dropped by the
gravedigger. She is sent to live with this nice old man and his angry
ass wife (Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson).
