Likes : I'am not normally one for the drama film because they tend to be very slow but this seriously captured my heart, its one of the most beautiful written & beautifully filmed film ive ever seen. I can't tell how many time i was in tears through this film, as it really hearts your heart on a emotional level like ever before.
The whole film is shown from a little girl perspective surviving during the the height of the second world war in German, but what is brilliant is that it is also told from death perspective a well as this little girl captures his heart & see the human race in a different light through her eye's, its brilliantly written.
Strong performances from Geoffrey Rush, Emily Watson, and newcomer Sophie Nélisse who plays the little girl Liesel with a stunning performance who has a bright future ahead in the film industry.The film clothing & speaking were all perfect for the era of the film its set in, as was the perfect scenery that was breathtaking and captivating, and I felt transported back to 1941 German.
The emotional impact & Captivating and extremely powerful scene make this one of the best film your see in a long time, i know i normal say this about some action film but this is just an outstanding journey in the heart of human life seeing through death eye's as the literary vehicle of death as the narrator really is a masterstroke and works perfectly giving a sense that death is always with us you cant live forever.
I know from the trailer your thinking this is going to be a slow boring film but if you think that you seriously are missing out on one of the most emotional, powerful, beautifully written film's of 2014 that i recommend seeing at the cinema or owning on DVD.
The ending of this film really blow me away with just how beautiful & emotionally fitting it was as you hear death narrating Liesel life to the very end in present day such a perfect way to end a film on a sad happy note really brings you to tears.
Dislikes : This is nothing short of perfection.brilliant film not wrong
Overall : Emotional,heart-warming journey of life, a must to watch.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 9.7 out of 10 for the death narrating concept & story
