Really enjoyed this movie! However, wonder if there was an explanation buried some place for the central hole in the film - without which there would have been no film. The printing press was invented in Germany in the 15th century and its citizens became among the best educated in Europe. HOW WAS IT THAT LIESEL COULDN'T READ?
shareIf you are an American you should understand how a first world country such as ours, in the 21st century, also has many people that not able to read and write. I do not mean the immigrant population.
shareThere are millions of Americans today who cannot read. Duh.
shareAmerica isn't Germany.
shareExactly. America today is much, much more advanced than Germany was in the 1930s. And, still, there are millions who cannot read. The OP doesn't make a lick of sense.
shareThe literacy rate in Germany then was over 99%.
I can't say if Germany was more advanced than America is now. Perhaps the level of ignorant arrogance is similar.

Spend any amount of time on Facebook and you will be confronted with the vast amount of illiteracy in the so-called modern world, and I don't mean the deliberate miss-spelling, 'slang' phrases and acronyms. I mean the ability to string a simple sentence together in plain English. Throw in today's atrocious grammar and monstrous displays of ignorance regarding world geography and history ... and suddenly the level of Liesel's literacy, or rather lack of, is entirely acceptable.
Besides ... its just a movie ... which I think a lot of 'excited' posters on IMDB seem to forget.
lol Facebook certainly seems to be the place people come to advertise their awful language skills, not to mention their ignorance and stupidity. What's depressing is that many of them almost exude pride in these 'qualities'.
...then whoa, differences...

Oh what a day. What a lovely day!
Wasn't she actually from Russia, thus the constant questioning about being a commie? Perhaps that would give it more credulity, no?
