“The Book Thief” Movie and Book Comparison There are many differences between “The Book Thief” movie and book. In this essay I will describe some differences that really popped out to me. I will discuss how Max’s biggest goal of one day becoming a professional boxer has been completely removed from the entire movie. I will also talk about how I think that Rudy comes across the existence of Max’s stay fairly early in the book. I also noticed that Rosa and Hans children are not at all in the movie. Another event is when Hans delivers bread to a Jewish man when he is being paraded through the street. This happens in the book however not in the movie. In the movie Max still hides in the Hubermann’s basement, but his biggest goal of one day becoming …show more content…
These two children have just been completely cut from the movie. When I read the book I remember one of the children gets into a fight with Hans about how he failed to connect with the Nazis and their party. This older child also knows that Liesel loves to read books so he thinks Liesel should read Mein Kamph. Also during the book, the mayor and his wife stop the clothes services of the Hubermanns because they want to make the point that they and the Nazi party is getting a lot stricter. They want to prove to the public that this is not a game. It is portrayed very differently in “The Book Thief” movie. The mayor started to see the new relationship his wife had with Liesel and wanted to stop it. Also, Liesel did not scream or catapult a book at Ilsa when Liesel is told that Ilsa does not want the family’s assistance anymore with the laundry. I think this was changed to add more tension to the movie and to make a better reunion when Ilsa comes for Leisel at the end of the movie. One more point in the book is when Hans delivers bread to a Jewish man when he is being paraded through the street. In the book Hans and the Jewish man were very badly whipped by a Nazi officer. This scene in the movie is changed a lot. The way the director portrays it is a lot less violent. Instead of getting whipped, he must tell the Nazi his name which then puts tremendous stress on his mind. Hans

The book is some what different from the movie. There are many differences between the book and the movie. Like when PonyBoy and Johnny went to the movie theater Pony wished that he was big and buff like the guy in the movie. “I was wishing I looked like Paul Newman-he looks tough and I don’t
Overall, the movie and book have many differences and similarities, some more important than others. The story still is clear without many scenes from the book, but the movie would have more thought in it.
Have you ever read a book and then watched the movie and saw many differences? Well you can also find lots of similarities. In the book “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and the movie “Tom and Huck” there are many similarities and differences having to do with the characters personalities, the setting, the characters relationships with one another and the events that take place.
The differences in the movie and the book might have been intentional. If audiences were to read the book, watch the movie, and reach conclusions, I think they would have great understanding of what’s inside them both. For example, a scene in the movie in which Atticus tells his children why it is a sin to kill a mockingbird was not in the book; from that scene, I inferred on how that became the initial title of the book. By using both resources, I was able to gather information and grasp its contents tighter.
Words, so simple, yet are the most powerful ways of communication. The weight of words is one of most impactful themes in Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief, and is felt throughout the entire novel. The Book Thief is a story that takes place during World War II, and follows the Hubermann family and friendships as the Narrator: Death follows them through their journey of Germany in 1939. Hans Hubermann is one of the greatest supporters of words right next to the Book Thief herself, Liesel Meminger. Words are emphasized through stolen books, spoken conversations, and thoughts of the characters. Hans Hubermann backs Liesel’s desire to read through many long nights, protects Max Vandenburg while in hiding, and consistently stands up against the dehumanization

At school she is made fun of for her illiteracy and at home, mama speaks very rudely to her calling her a swine and other insults.
I have only included what I have to believe are largely important plot gaps and differences in the movie version in comparison to the book one, and so I apologize again if I have missed any other major ones. Forgive me, please.
In The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak, beauty and brutality is seen in many of the characters. Rudy, Liesel, and Rosa display examples of beauty and brutality often without realizing what exactly they are doing, because it is a part of their human nature. Zusak not only uses his characters, but also the setting of the novel in Nazi Germany to allude to his theme of the beauty and brutality of human nature. The time in which the novel is set, during World War II, displays great examples of beauty and brutality, such as the mistreatment of the Jews. As a result of this time period, the characters have to go through troubling times, which reveals their beautiful and brutal nature in certain circumstances. Zusak uses his characters and their experiences to demonstrate the theme of the beauty and brutality of human nature in the novel.

Markus Zusak, author of The Book Thief (2005), and Steven Spielberg, director of Schindler’s List (1993), both use their works to portray the theme of racism in Nazi-era Germany.

However, in Nazi-era Germany, Jewish people were discrimination because they weren’t part of the ‘master race’, causing millions to suffer and be killed. To explore this theme, the setting, characters, conflicts and symbols in both The Book Thief and Schindler’s List will be analysed and compared.
