this movie made me want to be a better person. as i sat through the credits wiping my eyes, i had a big picture view of life: flying over at 10,000 feet, as it were. while i wait for my order of the book by australian author markus zusak, i decided to see the film first. a unique point of view about this novel is that it is narrated, gently i might add, by death. at first this might seem off-putting, but to me was an interesting angle and beautifully done. he is not menacing, simply present, witnessing both the worst and best of humanity. the actors, especially geoffrey rush's character, really portray kindness during wartime in a way i've not seen before. the best of humanity: something i'd like to contribute to with my days on the planet.
