The Book Thief (2013)
When I read the storyline I expected it to be an exceptional one, it had the potentials too.
When I read the storyline I expected it to be an exceptional one, it had the potentials too. But somehow the director managed to waste away some great actors potentials as well as leaving some stories unraveled never to be tucked in again. If you, like me are attracted to the movie just for the storyline and name then don't be. The director is unable to do justice to them.
Reading the storyline, I was expecting it to be more than a regular WWII flick. It had promises too, the story started with an orphan girl finding a new home to a new family. A warm hearted father, a grumpy exterior but sweet hearted mother and some great friends. Then we see the 'Book Thief' part, where the girl borrows books from a SSF commanders house and shares it with his new found friend, a Jew who took refuge in their home. But unfortunately that's it! After that there is very little or no reference to the title whatsoever. And at the end it turned out to be another regular WWII flick which everyone has seen countless times I'm sure.
