The Book Thief Book Vs Movie

Decent Essays

The Book Thief Movie Evaluation There are many disparities between the book and movie version of The Book Thief. Not only do the two scripts utilize the characters in different ways, but the list of characters itself is different. A noticeable difference between the book and movie is the use of Death. Death in the book gives the reader insight, expresses personal emotion, and tells jokes. Whereas Death in the movie is heard a mere two or three times simply introducing the movie setting, or commenting on a passing of time in order for the movie to move quicker. In the book, Death alludes to Rudy’s death bluntly and tells the reader how it will happen, but only states that it will happen in the near future, leaving the reader to wonder when.
