I found the movie absolutely amazing because it was something that I had never seen before. It was really touching to see the friendship of Bruno and Shmuel forming into something that was unbelievable. I was also really surprised to see how nice the acting of the two little boys was so good despite their age. We are reading a book in class called Enders Game and the most shocking thing that I find out while I was writing this blog was that the kid who played Bruno is also the kid who Plays Ender and is now 18 years old. Only when I actually searched it up I realized how identical the two looked. His name is Asa Butterfield and he was 10 years old when played the character of Bruno.
The boy in the striped pajamas is set in world war 2, and the story is narrated through the eyes of an 8 year old kid named Bruno. Bruno comes from a very wealthy family as his dad is a commander. He lives in Germany but his family is relocated where is dad is the commander of a prison camp. Bruno is not aware of the fact that there is a prison camp close to where he lives, and a few days later, he befriends a little boy named Shmuel. Both boys become good friends, unaware of the fact that they aren't allowed to talk to each other because Shmuel is a Jew. Later on in the movie Bruno finds out why he is not permitted to talk to a Jew and that the yard next door is actually a prison camp for Jews. |
