I really like her, she seems genuine. She has this mixed air of maturity and yet this evident youthfulness about her. Its remarkable how comfortable she feels on stage, she's fluid in her opinion you know?
She played the part well. And she wasn't a thief -- she always returned the books she borrowed. Books are meant to be shared in this way. And the Bergermeister's wife knew that. Sophie's role was not unlike that of an innocent angel who has been put into a horribly alien world. Excellent movie all the way around. Every one of the characters are memorable in their own 'salt of the earth' sort of way. They'll be watching this movie 100 years from now, I am quite positive.
@@EnnoiaBlog Well I don't think she returned the book she stole from the grave and she might not have returned Invisible Man (but I don't know if that even really counts as stealing) butshe did return at least most of the books
@@blitzen5038 I try not to criticize those who are no longer around to fulfill their ethical responsibilities. You're free to have a different more harsh standard.
Tones of love and respect for Geoffrey Rush! He is one of a kind! I wish I had a chance to meet him but I know that couldn't be possible!
Sofie is a doll!
I am so excited to see this movie because I the book was really special. Geoffrey Rush is always interesting and fun to watch.
Oh my god! I'm so happy that Sophie is from Montreal too!!
geoffery!!!!
SO beautiful Sophie
Need to see this movie!
I watch a lot of movies. This is one of those rare ones where I immediately seek out as much info as possible after finishing the movie. I am still going now for more than an hour. It's one you'll keep with you. And it's thankfully been made in such a way as to not paint all ethnic Germans inside Nazi Germany during WW2 with the same wide brush.
What's the most amazing his that her first language is french
She is actually really smart and mature
Sophie has the best answers ever!!!!
Geoffrey's and Sophie's performance in this movie is very remarkable! They played their roles with heart and get into the character so well,almost as if they're living in that period! some people find Sophie's accent annoying but I find it very convincing and even soothing
She's so adorable and charismatic
"..But i'd already watched the movie.." Its funny cause she was in it :D
Such a Wonderful Movie, and Sophie is a beautiful young girl.
Love Geoffrey Rush and Sophie! However Sophie...you could be a little more respectful to Mr. Rush :)
Sophie was just being honest. Most of Geoffrey Rush's movies have a more adult target audience. How many 13 year old girls know how he is? It would be a little fake for Sophie pretend to have known him before the shooting of the movie.
she is like a younger version of jennifer lawrence
Sir Geoffrey Rush... just an amazing person. The way he conquered adversity is amazing.
Someone commented below that in Canada we don't learn about the Holocaust but I can't reply to it for some odd reason. But anyways, we do actually learn about it in Canada, so don't worry. We just learn about it later on in High School rather than in 6th and 7th grade. We learn about it predominantly in grades 11 and 12. In fact an English class in my school read The Book Thief for their reading assignment, and that was a gr. 10 AP English class. For my Social Studies class I had to make a huge poster depicting the differences between Hitler and Stalin and their dictatorships, and also how they were similar. I learned so many interesting things about both world wars in High School.
So being as Sophie is only 13, she's in about grade 8 or 9, and so they probably haven't touched on that subject yet. When I was her age we were learning about globalization and The Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and basic law and court stuff like that. Hope that answers any concerns :)
The fact that Geoffrey read the book (and that Sophie didn't) explains A LOT
Like what?
I like her voice. Hihi Sounds warm!
You're beautiful girl. But you were really really out of my league
As a secondary school student in England, we learn a fair amount about the holocaust, maybe for those in America and Canada not so much because they didn't have an involvement as big as other parts and f Europe in the Second World War.
She watched THE READER? How did her parents allow that? Even if they cut out the sex scenes for her she wouldn't understand the story...
I once watched that movie and seemed to be hard to understand what that man thought of and made decision after all. I think it was a sad movie and a sad story, too. I cannot draw anything from that movie... I thought he fell in love with that woman but... I remembered at the end of the movie, she wrote a letter for him and committed suicide... For a woman who was uneducated (cannot read and write anything before) but based on his recordings and books, counts every letter to realize correct letters was a great effort. But finally, she killed herself, and left a letter, a grass of coin, and he returned to his life then. The Lawyer as far as I can remember. What is the meaning of that movie?
Why would they NOT let her see the movie?! In most of the world nudity and/or sex is seen as a big thing in movies. This film have no age-restriction in Sweden, 11 in Denmark, 12 in Germany, Japan, Iceland, Netherlands and Switzerland for example...
im guessing someone still doesnt understand the story^
tina gleeson what does that have to do with anything? Your brain seems too stupid to understand that i meant the movie is R rated and a 11 year old will be questioning why a middle aged woman would want to sleep naked with a high school guy and why he wouldn't save her after all these years because thats how 11 year olds think.
10:23 "That's not funny"
+Gabby D' Souza more like "Is not funny" xD
Geoffrey Rush did a good job also on the movie " Munich" a great movie(true story)
What is she talking about people not knowing about the Holocaust? Do they not learn about it in Canada? I know in the US we learn about it. My whole seventh grade history class was focused on the Holocaust. I had to read the book thief in 6th grade for summer reading and Night by Ellie Wiesel. If it's the case that they don't learn about the Holocaust and Kristallnacht... that's disturbing.
+Mae H. There's a lot of schools, not just yours or Sophie's
Shine ......Mr Rush ⭐
The book thief is my second favorite book. while I read it, I felt pure. magical. it was like I was actually there, like I was Liesel or something. every time I read a character who likes to read and write I feel really connected with her, and this whole book was about reading, words, how powerful they can be... also, I read a lot of books about the world war II and the holocaust, and I enjoy reading about those stuff and this whole subject is very fascinating to me (awful, horrible in it's nature, but fascinating), but after I read these books I often don't really want to read them again. not because they're bad or something, but because I get into them too much and I often dream about them and they effect my mood very much. ( when I was younger, from the ages of 4 to 7, I was always scared that Hitler will come into my room in the night and take me because I'm a Jew.) but this book, when I finished reading him, I didn't just close him and put him away. I hugged him. I finished reading it while I was at school, and in the middle of my English lesson I took him off my bag, and just hugged him. and for the rest of the day I just wanted it to be close to my heart, I didn't want to leave him.
sorry for the long comment, I always write too much. once, we had an English test, and we had to write an Essay about an object we couldn't live without (I wrote about books. how surprising), and we had to write 70-80 words, but I wrote 350. I just wanted to make it clear, that I like books. I guess it was even *too* clear...
***** the Harry Potter series are my favorite. I know everybody say that, but HP really changed me. when I started reading it I was an awkward girl with no confidence at all, and when I finished reading HP I became more confident and opinionated. (but I'm still socially awkward tbh XD).
I also really enjoyed reading "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and Rainbow Rowell's books. I'm in the middle of "Fangirl" and I want to know what happens in the end, but I also don't want to finish reading it cause you can really experience books on the first time you read it.
and I read a lot of WWII books. one time my dad got me a book called "the Jewish dog" and he literally told me: "it's a book about the holocaust. you like that stuff." that's okay, I'm a Jew myself. :)
(by the way I got A+ on that test I talked about in the other comment. I know it's not interesting for anybody but it was a pretty important test so I'm just happy about it.)
***** thanks. :) I basically don't need to write my life story, The Perks of Being a Wallflower pretty much sums up everything.
have a good day! :)
If the war history is so important to read and learn than why people still fighting every where, look what we did to the Arab world look what we did in Afghanistan killing children women’s and men for nothing and than we make stories and movies pretending we are heroes is that really what we want from this life,, I have a doubt
Best answer ever
