Robert P @Superbad Oct 22, 2026 The Boy in The Striped Bajamas is a *4* star Movie! See more Nim T @nimtse Oct 13, 2026 The film takes place during the Holocaust, which took place during World War II. The Holocaust was a time that cannot be forgotten due to the many innocent lives lost and the numerous separations of families. The movie tries to characterize the father as Hitler, except that future generations are involved. I did not like how the movie took a while to address the innocence, bravery that a child can bring to a time like this. The chemistry of human interaction and curiosity while can lead to positive outcomes, it did not for this movie. The ending was sad, and Vera Farmiga's reaction was the only emotional breathtaking moment of the film. Despite the reviews from critics, I would think that this movie undermined the severity of the Holocaust in that it only showed one component of the trauma. See more C.K.

The ending is the most ddevastating ending i have ever seen See more Yossi S @RT40307701 Jul 24, 2026 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, 2026 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 Read all reviews
