The Book Thief film does not do the book justice. This is because many scenes were skipped over and not shown in the film. Some scenes that were not shown in the film were when Lisel and Rudy stole with their groups, Liesel and Max's nightmares, and finally when Max gives Liesel a handwritten book. These scenes changing or not being shown take away from the book and do not show the true themes in this story.

The first example of the film not doing the book justice is when Lisel and Rudy steal with their groups. This scene was important because it showed how strong Rudy and Lisels relationship was and showed how desperate they were just to have a little fun and meaning in their lives. For example in the book death says, “She didn’t care about the food…. It was the book they wanted…. She wouldn't tolerate having it given to her by a lonely, pathetic old woman. Stealing on the other hand, seemed a little more acceptable. Stealing iit, in a kick of sense, was like earring it.”(The Book Thief, 287) This is an important part of the story because it shows that stealing at this time made Lisel feel like she had earned it and had the right to steal it.

This is an important part of the story because when Liesel would have a nightmare Hans would come in and comfort her till she would feel safe, and this is another thing Max and Lisel had in common. Once Liesel finds out that Max himself has nightmares similar to hers, she realizes that she can be brave enough and care for her own nightmares on her own. This is shown in the book, “The only thing that changed was that Liesel told her papa that she should be old enough now to cope on her own with the dreams.”(The Book Thief,
