This movie about, Bruno an eight-year-old German boy who leads a very comfortable life in Berlin during the Second World War. His father is a high ranking Nazi officer, but things change when the family has to move due to his father’s new post. In his innocence, Bruno sees the nearby concentration camp as a ‘farm’ and wonders why its inhabitants are always wearing striped pyjamas. Eventually Bruno becomes friends with a Jewish boy his own age who lives on the other side of the fence. I went into this movie without knowing what it was about. I thought it was a cartoon movie, but soon realised it was about the war with the Germans and the Nasties and the Jews. It was an interesting movie as it kept you thinking about what could possibly happen next. Some of the images shown of the camps were quite harsh, but it was actually showing what happened in the past. They treated the slaves so cruelly and they forced them to live this life style. I thought this movie was interesting and kept me intrigued. It had great suspense builders that made me wanting more. Even though the ending was very sudden and sad. As the main actor, Bruno dies in a gassing chamber with his new made friend, it had the realization of this stuff actually happened.
I would rate this movie a
