The boy in the striped pyjamas


Definitely hard movie... I needed few attepts to finish, especially before the final scene...  Definitely it is really good, story told in a perfect way, actors performing at high level, very convincing. Watching I could really feel the whole situations. I could really believe the story... Probably that's the reason I needed few breaks.

Such movies can pefectly give a picture of the history from the human point of view. The friendship between little German and Jew. "We are not supposed to be friends. We are supposed to be enemies." Bruno cannot understand this. Why? What is the reason? He feels incredibly guilty, when he denied being litlle Jew's friend. He cries and tries to meet him again and play as they did before. He wants to apologize and still be friend. He is a good boy who wants to explore the world. Things that he observes, hears... they make him undermine the authority of his father. Should he be proud of him? Is he really a good man? So many questions in his head which will be never answered...

And the wife of the soldier who was promoted... How is it possible that for such a long time she didn't know what he really does? How is it possible that for such a long time she was proud of him? Happy wife? Life of lies? Probably these are the questions she ask herself when she finds out the truth... What does she feel to him then? In the movie she didn't put her feelings into words, but the way she behaves, acts toward him suggest that must be disgust, hatred. What does she do when little Bruno died? It wasn't showed in the movie... but it seems quite obvious...

Very sad story... However it's definitely worth seeing...
