The Book Thief

I saw The Book Thief tonight for FHE with my husband. It's at the dollar theater right now. I highly recommend it. It's about a little girl and her family and how they hid a Jew during the Holocaust. I appreciate almost all movies about the Holocaust, but they are also usually very heavy and very depressing. This one wasn't as heavy. I mean, it was still sad, but there weren't any concentration camp depictions or anything like that. It has a pretty solid ending, but is very moving and inspiring. I walked out of the theater enlightened and thoughtful. I love good movies like this that invite you to think and feel and analyze. I think media that does this is so worth it! I'm grateful for the people who take the time to make uplifting and worthwhile movies that aren't full of trash, drama, and "cheap laughs" that we so often find in the little YouTube videos or TV shows that we waste our time watching. Here is the trailer. You might as well go see it. It's worth the dollar. :)
