I was so excited my theater got The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, from the moment I saw this trailer, I knew I was in for a treat. This movie just looked incredible, even though it's a touchy subject with the holocaust, it still looked like it was going to be a great story. Everyone always makes a comment about the innocence of childhood, what it was like to just not have reason, to just go with the flow of things before adults tell you what you have to do. So I watched The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas today and this movie seriously is one of the saddest films I have ever seen, but I felt it was very maturely handled. The actors are great and the story is very touching, to watch these two boys from two completely different worlds who come together just to have fun, be boys, not because of the difference of their background. Set during World War II, a story seen through the innocent eyes of Bruno, the eight-year-old son of the commandant at a concentration camp, whose forbidden friendship with a Jewish boy on the other side of the camp fence. The boys have a great friendship talking every day, enjoying the company. But when the father gives Bruno a Nazi propaganda loving tutor, Bruno becomes confused, is his father an evil man or is his friend the evil one? Love his country and do his duty or don't judge and just stay true to his friend? Bruno must decide all this with some scary consequences ahead of him. The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is a fantastic film, though if you see it, I do recommend bringing the tissues. I couldn't believe the chemistry they had with these two young actors, they worked so well together as these innocent boys who both have no idea what's going on. Bruno doesn't know why his friend is behind fences, and his friend doesn't know why he's there either. The ending is extremely powerful and the story keeps you interested. I do recommend seeing The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, it's a treasure from 2008. 9/10

the stripped pyjamas represent the black and white racism the war that was fought by the west in order to get rids of the black Africans were being tortured being burned alive in the process by the whites in order just to clear the land for them whoever was against the whites and U joined the black whether U are U are white U would end up dead like Bruno life was not fair back then and still not fair upto now kids were raised with hatred fed up on their mind against the black colours and upto now there is still racism in the world, black are being treated like nobody's the moment Bruno joined the Shmuel in the course of finding his father with stripped pyjamas he was burned alive though he never shaved to look like them untill shovel could recognise him in the creminated room but it was too late 😞😞 it reminds me of our heroes who died in the process of fighting just end racism 💔 IF WISHES WOULD COME TRUE I WOULD HAVE WISH ...................
