The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a really good movie, a parable about innocence and loss that almost any critic could recommend without hesitation.” This movie tells the story of a family of four, a father, a mother and their two children Gretel and Bruno. The movie begins, as the family is getting ready to move to a farm for the father’s job as a Nazi commandant. Throughout the film, viewers will see the mom begin to question the real reason they moved to the farm, and they will watch Bruno begin to form a relationship with a Jew on the other side of the fence. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas allows the audience to see the Holocaust through the eyes of a child, experience unique relationships between characters.
This movie is good and i can recommend it to my family and friends to watch it. After reading The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, students should have learned about human nature, genocide, and innocence. Human nature is a major theme in the novel. Students can contrast the kindness of Bruno and Shmuel with the horrors the Nazis are perpetrating on the people in the concentration camp.
