The Book Thief Official Trailer #1 (2013) - Geoffrey Rush, Emily Watson Movie HD

I've always pictured everyone was more... hungry and poor through the book.

I'm not even half way through the book and this trailer reminds me nothing of the book. The book seems so much...darker and the movie seems so uplifting

[@susantherestorer]

Trust me, the movie is nearly as dark as the book, but the tone is improved in the movie. It shows that, even though the story is pretty seemingly hopeless, there's still hope, even with it being so dark. The book is great, but I still like much of the movie better.

[@yanasane661]

SAME!! ....SO TRUE

[@manjeeeeet]

I just finished a few minutes ago. I can feel you.

[@PinkFox983]

I feel like the people who made this movie didn't understand the book at all. It's not the fact that they left some things out that bothered me. It was the fact that they're making seem like some sort of inspiring story about hope, but it's not. It's supposed to be a bittersweet story that educates, that teaches the audience how words are the most powerful force on this planet, and how devastating the result is when they are misused (example: Hitler). The entire theme is changed in the movie.

[@yumni.0334]

***** I know, I agree the book was telling a story, just that's it a story about a girl who steals books, the mention nothing about hope in the book?! I'm really disappointed, the trailer was enough to put me off the movie

[@MadelineWard]

You hit the nail on the head. It was so sugar coated and Hollywood-ized.The movie was OK on its own but in my opinion was a really bad interpretation of the book. Now I want to be a director so I can remake it someday. 😂

[@anrtaverma5992]

+Madeline W please do. Plus having Death as the narrator means we got a much more powerful, realistic and raw view of things. His casual pondering makes you reconsider a lot of stuff. I don't know how they could give a satisfactory movie version of a book about the power of books and words.

[@thisKerst]

i came to the comments because i was looking for people with exactly your point of view, this is probably one of the best books i have ever read, and i was sooo much looking forward to this movie, especially with goeffrey rush in it, but the trailer put me off and i haven't watched it yet. when i saw who they cast as liesl, i was very much disapointed. her dark hair and dark eyes were very important for the plot, the fact that liesl herself doesn't think she's pretty because of her kind of boyish looks, and then they cast someone who looks like an angel, and has blue eyes and blond hair (you have to think about hitler's ideals of appearance here, and that liesl did NOT fulfill them) and not mentioning death (as far as the trailer shows, as said before, haven't watched the movie yet) is just leaving out one of the most important story lines in the book. very disappointed, i can not imagine that the author is very happy about that adaptation.

[@haechanverse]

Pinie Kay i'm kinda disappointed after rewatching this again bc the movie is way too "beautiful-looking" and not at all how i imagined the world in the book (bleak, gray and brown). But it's still a good movie

[@xxladybug94]

Bottom line, some people will get this movie and understand the deeper beautiful meaning behind it, and others just won't. They will just see it as another WWII movie. I know people who haven't read it but loved it because they appreciate words, writing, and reading like Liesel and Max did. I've read the book and it's beautiful. I'm sorry some of you guys can't see that.

[@BehindGreyEyes]

You're so right and I agree with you! Totally agree! This book is much more than a WWII story!

[@xxladybug94]

definitely!! It's not about war, it's about humans and their emotions, and how there is still light in the darkest moments of life.

[@xDanielleee13x]

I couldn't agree with you more.

[@carsonchamness2555]

I cried with the book and will watch the movie soon but already Liesel won't be able to grow up enough for it to be accurate and all the characters looks messed up Liesel is to old and everyone else (especially max) jumpstart look wrong from how I imagined them Rudy tho spot on but I can tell by this that it won't be accurate

[@TheSneezingAnouki]

For me, this is all too pompous. For me, the book was quiet. Know what I mean? The book delivered the message in a far more subtle way, and in its subtleness was louder as any scream could be. It is so poetic, with Death telling the story, I think that poetry got lost in translation to the big screen.

[@mariel6867]

Exactly

[@Fofolinovic]

You got it. The book was raw dark poetry.

[@farmmur]

I am a 66 year old man and I'll say this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. To start with all the actors fit their character; they are exactly as I would picture them if it were real life. The movie is based on a difficult time period and it portrays a glimpse of the hardships and general life of that time. Finally, the relationship of Rudy and Liesel is just plain cute. Sophie and Nico play out their parts so well it actually brings back the thrill, excitement, hopes and despair of young love even to an old man like me. Some understanding of World War II will intensify the various scenes. I would recommend this movie to anyone with one caution; if you are ashamed of being seen with your eyes filled with tears watch it alone.

[@MrDerekBranning]

One thing I hated was how Americanised it was. She says "soccer ball", yet the German word Fussball directly translates to Football. Also the film says near the end "1945 - US troops occupy Germany". Oh, the Americans did it themselves did they? No Russian, French or British troops involved? Then they fill an entire shot with an Apple logo right at the end. They didn't even try to make it subtle.

[@BarmyBitch1980]

Here-here! U571 has got to be one of the worst! But there will always be an American to jump in & comment saying "We saved your ass!" Nope! Sitting on the sidelines to see which side has the upperhand then joining in to finish things off is not saving someone ass! Why can't it ever just be said to be an equal joint effort! xx

[@CrownImperial1920]

Are you joking? I've yet to see the film and I really hope you are. What a way to ruin a good film based on a good book, trust the Americans to slather their nationalistic 'history' over such a great historical setting.

[@CrownImperial1920]

espada9 If the film was apparently made for US eyes only (who appear to be so uncultured they have to have a specially edited version of history to cater for their nationalism). then why do they bother to release it in Europe? you know that continent with over 700 million people. And the only reason people like us 'obsess' over US media is because they have some perverse agenda of constantly insulting European culture and history.

What bothers me is that in the book, the fact that Liesel has brown eyes is important and here they just don't give a duck and hire a blue eyed actress. Also, it's nowhere nearly as good as the book because the narration is what makes this book a masterpiece and it can't be captured on screen.

Hmmm after I read the book I gotta say: there is no comparisson... The movie is good but the book captivates you during the second half (the first bored me a bit). My favorite character is Rosa, I cried when I read every line about her at the end, she was first a meh character to me but then I started loving her, then my second fav. character is Rudy, which to me shows the mind of a kid, how tender it is... Stories that involve kids in this kind of stories always make me feel sad and happy at the same time :/. Then Ilsa, full of mistery and attractive but such a sad story behind her, and at the end the father, Liesel and Max I always kept them like in the same line, not to attractive but sometimes they had their moments xD... I don't say the movie is bad, but if you have the oportunity to read the book, do it.

+JLH CREATIONS idk about the movie but the book was heavily centered around how it was to grow up under the nazi regime. A huge part of it stemmed from the warring state of the country. Also death, as the narrator, would frequently interject and go places outside of liesel's immediate town, to events in WWII. In my opinion, that makes it a WWII movie

The Book Thief is a riveting, raw novel about the reign of Nazi Germany through Death's eyes. The producers clearly took that topic and romanticized it and changed the true meaning, not understanding the sole purpose of the novel.

[@nuelle2361]

Yeah but it is really hard to make a movie off of Death's perspective, isn't it?

NW Johnson No, it isn't. Insert a few monologues from Death and it's automatically improved by a drastic amount.

Murrummba Yes, but it was a pitiful attempt and not at all like the book.

[@MidnightOpal]

Murrummba I never said what the movie needed was more narration, so don't jump to conclusions and put words in my mouth. I find that incredibly offensive. I specifically stated that the reason why the movie was so inaccurate was credited to a number of things, not just the lackluster narration. My problem with the narration, in case you were wondering, is not that there wasn't enough but that the portions they did include did not capture the essence of death as written by Zuzak.

[@MidnightOpal]

Murrummba Again, read my previous comment. When will you understand the fact that I do not and never have wanted more narration? I merely would like a change in the same quantity of narration. Is my point finally clear?

[@AliceLeChat]

Oh my God, I'm crying... So I once saw this book in a library and thought to myself that It's probably a boring book without even reading the summary on the back. Now this evening the movie played on a TV channel from my country and I thought ,,Oh, this is familiar... isn't it a screening of the book?" and I decided to watch it. I was so fascinated by the story that I did not let any second of it waste and honestly watching it all was all worth it. I'm so shook right now that I can't really think of what to say,other than that it brought me to tears. I can't believe how different the past was putting it next to our present! After watching it I was left with no word, just the tears going down my face. So this is a tip for you all: *Never judge a book by its cover*. ❤ ~From a Romanian girl whose life was changed by this art

[@laurasmith4663]

I have never cried so much over a story/film as I did to this.. I one point I literally had to carm myself down aha I loved it so much

[@bbkerr2829]

I'm a German and I love this movie. My grandma said the events in the film were very close to reality.

[@bbkerr2829]

Take your shit elsewhere !

[@ninja.saywhat]

You're German you should be proud of him ;)

[@bbkerr2829]

negawut No we are not proud of him. But you should fear him because he has a lot of ghosts.

[@oscarmorland2701]

negawut Wow....

[@tianaabdu1521]

I will not hate German people because of what Hitler and the Nazis did. History is history, you can't change it

[@elisaherles1766]

'Words are life'... An amazing film with un unbelievable screenplay! It left me thousands of beautiful feelings!

[@el2189]

This movie broke my heart. I bawled my eyes out. It was so sad and depressing yet so amazing to make me react in such an emotional type of way. The acting and directing was prefect. Now I seriously need to read the book.

[@lambykins1471]

I'm choking up at the trailer- though it might just be because I'm remembering how much I love the book

[@tomochie3025]

Was a kid when I first watched this. Now I grew up in love in reading books. This movie made me so emotional likewise taught me to open up and read.

[@VansLegacy]

read the book, saw the movie. Can say that i wasnt let down

[@seokjinkim2360]

i just finished the book literally a minute ago, and i imagined them more filthy and thin

[@bssantimitra8736]

I read the book a few days ago and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. It's been a long time since a book made me cry, but this one did. It was such an emotional journey, and I felt like I was living through everything with Liesel. She's such an amazing character, and her story touched me deeply. I was heartbroken when Rudy died, and losing Papa and Mama was devastating too. Max was such a strong and inspiring character. "The Book Thief" is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read, and I can't wait to see how the movie brings it to life. ❤❤❤

[@Magikalic]

It's my favourite book and I really hope that the film does it justice.

[@zphatman]

just finished it great book but the film wont do it justice they never do

[@zoala001]

zphatman the movie was great! I havent read the book ! but the movie was great. I was crying at the end !

[@zphatman]

zoala001 just watched the movie your right it was great I cried at the end of both book and movie

[@thomess]

I just saw the movie, and came back here . I found the movie really good. It talks about friendship, family love and hope .

[@mnj3t]

thats why the movie is opposite of the book. The main theme is changed

[@edith1315]

I just came from seeing this movie, and I cried cried cried, I can´t describe with words what this made me feel, it was extraordinary, so touching to me, I was raised by my grandparents and my grandpa had a lot of things in common with Geoffrey Rush´s character, he was the one who taught me how to read, that joined me in my moments of "adventure" while playing with me, that inspired my love of books, it moved so many memories of my childhood, and also gives you an image of what that horrible war did for both sides, germans and jews.

[@halarazaq5019]

What about Palestine in this time of un fair war

[@sheenapayne8335]

Really enjoyed this movie, it was a Roll Acosta of emotions for me but also it gave me a new appreciation for life and freedom.

[@caly-the-cat8400]

I just watched the movie and seriously, I'm probably the most unemotional creature where I live but at that ending I cried for like 10 minutes straight :'(

[@oglegion8877]

Lmaoooo me and one of my friends always joke around calling eachother creatures so I laughed do hard when u wrote "most unemotional creature"

[@hekata12]

I cried too

[@DW-zt9ym]

Ikr i broke down

[@Randomed312]

I have read the book and it has a powerful meaning this isn't just another WW2 movie this is a movie that brings into the light how much words can have an affect on people and how it can either have a positive or negative affect but in this case it had a lasting negative affect that will forever be glued into our very dark and sad history all because of words being spread around.

[@ophidian9652]

This movie blessed my soul

[@onedianutza]

The movie was absolutely beautiful. I'm really glad I watched it!

[@naffox4259]

I love how the mom warmed up to her 💕

[@mariojayaweera5671]

The narration at 1:31 pretty much wrecked the trailer...

[@Jessie32393]

Just finished this book and it was wonderful, very hopeful for the movie!

[@nothing1214]

Saw it for the first time in my school today, very nice movie.

[@muikkunen97]

I watched this yesterday. It is the most beautiful and the best movie I've ever seen! (and I have seen countless movies). So powerful and so beautiful

[@Jimii89]

DireWolfApocalypse Studios You should read the novel

[@muikkunen97]

I'm reading it at the moment!! Fantastic!

[@MjAnimus]

Finally finished reading the book, never have i cried so damn much :'( this is the first time i've seen a trailer, and i must say, it appears for the most part they've cast the right actors to the right characters. Cant wait to see the movie... Lets go break my heart all over again!

[@minseo8136]

With each heartbreaking word, a little part of my heart tore off.

[@fnw100]

Finished the book yesterday, couldn't stop crying. This trailer looks extremely different from what I imagined while reading the book. The characters look too clean and well-fed. Is the movie worth watching or does it ruin the story?

[@asianstwo]

the movie was amazing! oh my gosh, i cried so much.

[@miller_x2200]

The music at 1:20. OMG I always cry♥ And the music at 2:00 . I love this movie so much. One of the best ♥♥

[@NeverlandDreams]

I think this is saddest book I've ever read! The movie is good, they didn't add some lovely scenes, but the movie is a great adaptation.

[@CrashDunning]

This movie was amazing.

[@leighkilsdonk2140]

I totally agree! I love movies like this! I read about the book version, which is also supposed to be excellent.

[@may5802]

Leigh Kilsdonk please, read the book. It's just stunning. Defenitely one of my favourites.

[@ravren3413]

I'm usually not the type of person who cries all that often, but THIS movie made me bawl like a baby 😭😭😭

[@beewilson7144]

I've seen this movie exactly once. And I loved every second of it. I really want to read the book.

[@sugrakazi632]

Baily Wilson The book is narrated by Death and its a MASTERPIECE.

[@omotional]

Just watched this movie... try not to cry, cry a lot. I bawled my eyes out! Sobbing while lying in a ball in the corner.

[@MegaSuzukiboy]

Sophie nelisse What a Great actor she deserves a Oscar already boy with The name rudy was Great too

[@user-ro5cn8ih5o]

exactly what i have imagined from the book.

[@annieduda3521]

I first read this book when I was 12 because I liked the title... I cried then, and I'm crying reading it now. Such an amazing, beautiful story that I will always love.

[@jewelwilliams8297]

The movie doesn't look half-bad. The book was absolutely amazing, so I'm a little wary of watching the movie. (I finished the book today)

[@daydreamcon]

Why is everyone spoiling the book in this comment section STOP!! Or I will cry more about getting spoiled for the book then the actual book!

[@yuanxinliu1000]

The book made me cry, it was so good. I hope the movie's just as good.

[@sarahblake5470]

Oh my god this movie is awesome. One of the best I've ever seen. Stayed so true to the book and all the character descriptions fit!

[@karyssahaney882]

I watched this movie in 5th grade and bawled my eyes out

[@aragsanf8690]
