Ansh T @RT92551910 Aug 7 at starting give movie some time , let it create it plot. The ending is the most ddevastating ending i have ever seen See more Yossi S @RT40307701 Jul 24 This is an amazing movie about human nature. It is not a Holocaust movie, the author of the book, John Boyne, has admitted as much. John Boyne calls this a "Holocaust Fable". little research went into the book. No survivors were interviewed. John Boyne himself said that his movie should not be used to teach the Holocaust. This movie plays on the feelings of the audience to create sympathy for an SS Commandant. This alone should be a red flag to not watch this movie. There are so many actual survivor testimonies out there, obviously not enough because there were so few survivors, but enough child survivors to teach people, and children especially, about the Holocaust. Why watch a fable? If you need to teach your child about the Holocaust I would start by reading the Diary of Anne Frank. John Boyne profited by using the motif of the Holocaust to sell his fable. The creators of this movie did the same. Avoid watching this movie. See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 12 É um filme fortíssimo e muito emocionante. A história mostra o horror da Segunda Guerra Mundial e dos campos de concentração pelos olhos inocentes de duas crianças, o que torna tudo ainda mais pesado. A amizade entre o Bruno e o Shmuel é linda e o final do filme é um autêntico soco no estômago. See more Jack S @JackSV Jul 12 This was an amazing but super sad movie. I watched it in my grade 8 socials class but when the movie ended my whole class just broke out into tears.

See more R T @RT30375948 Jun 10 The boy in the Striped Pyjamas is a históricas drama / war film relased in 2008. It tells the story of Bruno, a German boy, befriends Shmuel, a jewish boy living inside a concentration camp. Their friendship changes both of their lives. This film is set German and Poland during war II, near a Nazi concentration camp, and it last 94 minutes. The boy in the Striped Pyjamas starts Asa Butterfield as Bruno and Jack Scanlon as Shmuel, my favourite character is Shmuel because he is kind, calm and friendly. I recommend this film because it is emotional, thought provokins, and helps viewers understand the impact of perjudice and the Holocaust throrgh the eyes of children. See more Read all reviews
