The movie "The Boy With the Striped Pajamas" is a Holocaust drama, and it explores the horror of a World War II Nazi camp through the eyes of two 8-year-old boys; one the son of the camp's Nazi commandant, the other a Jewish inmate. After watching this movie, I felt motivated to find out more about the Holocaust.
Although I already knew the main facts about it, seeing it from the point of view of two young boys really touch my heart. The friendship that these to boy share In the movie was just amazing. Even after Bruno found out why Samuel was In the strip Pajamas, Bruno as still willing to go out his way to go see Samuel.In the movie I can really tell that Bruno really cared about his friend, after getting him In trouble. Bruno never gave up on their friendship and was willing to do anything for Samuel to forgive him.
Although Bruno Is very young and does not really understand what Is going to with the Jews, he Is aware that he and Samuel were not met to be friends. Just like Brunt's father said "they are not really people at all" Bruno did not view anything wrong with his friend. During the movie I felt really bad for Brunt's mother, even though she was aware of the world that her country was in.She thought the Jews were only being kept in the camps and they were being treated like everyone else. But that was not the case, after she found out that the Jews were being killed that's when her whole thought changed.
She did not want her children around this and she wanted her husband to put an end to what was taken place. She had a heart and realizes what was being down to the Jews was wrong and needed to stop. Her husband does not feel it's so wrong and does not want to let his nation down. Brunt's father does not realize the evil that is being done until his own child is affected by this.
After Bruno promises Samuel to help him find his father, they find them-self trapped in a room with other men. This room was used to kill the Jews. Although in the movie they do not show that Bruno and Samuel dies, but it is evident that they did. This part really made me cry because it's a symbol of how innocent children are killed for no reason and that even if you're Jewish or not you're still human. Brunt's family sadly learns this lesson a little too late. I strongly believe everyone should have the chase to view this movie; it can really change a person's life.
