[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
The boy in the striped pijamas' directed and co-written by Marc Herman is a poignant and utterly touching fictional tale which offers a unique perspective of the horrible dark days of the second world war through the eyes of two eight year old boys who's friendship defies any hatred or prejudism! In this inspirational and oscar worthy story, Bruno is the son of a nazi commandant who has been transferred in order to be one of the people in charge of a Jewish concentration camp and lives extremely close to it with his family. Schmuel is a Jewish boy held captive in that same camp! Bruno is very lonely since he is now far from his friends in the city and meeting Schmuel is a breath of fresh air! Schmuel is looking for his missing father within the camp as he thinks that he's still alive! Bruno's mother is sensitive and very much unlike his cold blooded father and is devestated when she discovers that the concentration camp prisoners are actually being systematically put in gaz chambers-a fact that her husband hasn't told her! But nothing compares to the devestation that she experiences towards the trajic ending. I fell in love with this timeless and unforgettable movie that is garanteed to touch your heart and which is so very well directed and has great performances from: Asa Butterfield, Jack Scanlon, Vera Farmiga, David Thewlis, Amber Beatle, Rupert Friend, Richard Johnson, and Sheila Hancock!
