Synopsis (IMDB): During World War II, 8-year-old Bruno (Asa Butterfield) and his
family leave Berlin to take up residence near the concentration camp
where his father (David Thewlis) has just become commandant. Unhappy and
lonely, he wanders out behind his house one day and finds Shmuel (Jack
Scanlon), a Jewish boy of his age. Though the
barbed-wire fence of the camp separates them, the boys begin a forbidden
friendship, oblivious to the real nature of their surroundings.

Review:
-
A movie adapted from a book. It might make you a little traumatic until
your body is shaking. Me? REALLY TRAUMATIC. I don't know how to put
that in words. It gives a nightmare that keeps someone awake
-
Even this movie is about a horrifying holocaust that might cause a
trauma, Mark Herman, as the director still happens to make the movie a
little friendly
-
The story is very light. It's not hard for you to comprehend every
detail of it like, when they show howthe precocious girl, Gretel is
attracted to Lt. Kotler by holding his arm and getting blushed when
Bruno innocently tease about them (a little cringe scene up here)
- This story makes us realize that nobody was born with hates which makes us really emotional and angry
-
The other thing that makes us more emo is Bruno's innocence. He's a kid
who can only figure things out with his own heart which is right or
wrong. With the same kind of innocence, it shows the beauty of his
bravery
-
A pretty fascinating movie but, here's one thing! I don't think that
the title fully fits the movie because, they don't show the real boy in
striped pajamas dominantly. They show more of Bruno and his family so,
it's better if the movie is titled with something about Bruno (Just
opinions!)
-
The movie tells about everyone's traits in the very realistic way. They
wanna keep Bruno brave but, they make sure to make him a real 8 year
old boy. Or, when Bruno's mother witness her husband's cruelty, Ralf,
she's really desperate and depressed, it's shown through her soft heart
and lady-like style
- Everyone's acting skills are totally on point especially, Asa Butterfield as Bruno and Jack Scanlon as Shmuel
-
There's not much profanities but, there are cruel or disturbing terms
like how they mention that Jews aren't people at all or when Gretel said
"evil, dangerous vermin"
-
Bruno's mom, Elsa, knows that something isn't right that has blinded
her whilst she does nothing much about it but, telling his husband to
quit. We don't know if she's apathetic or helpless or afraid or all of
them combined.
RATE: 8.5/10 - RECOMMENDED
