I am home alone. Simple dinner is ready. Having the mood to watch a film, I picked something serious. The word ‘book’ in the title captured my attention while choosing for one. In silence, I finished my dinner and continue with the film.
To me, this film is a story about survival, friendship, family and human spirit. I love Hans Hubermann, Rosa Hubermann, Liesel’s foster parents and Rudy. It is sad to know that they died in the end. There are a few quotes in the film which I love so much.
Narrator: One small fact: you are going to die. Despite every effort, no one lives forever. Sorry to be such a spoiler. My advice is when the time comes, don’t panic. It doesn’t seem to help.
Death: I have seen a great many things. I have attended all the world’s worst disasters, and worked for the greatest of villains. And I’ve seen the greatest wonders. But it’s still like I said it was: no one lives forever.
Death: I wanted to tell the book thief she was one of the few souls that made me wonder what it was to live. But in the end there were no words. Only peace. The only truth I truly know is that I am haunted by humans.
It gave me a long sigh, three slow nods and a gentle smile to agree about life. Live wisely and love your life. ~Melle.
