The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a film about the holocaust in world war II through the point of view of an eight-year-old boy named Bruno. Bruno is confused one day when he finds out he has to move to a far away place, and while it isn't mentioned in the movie, he moves to Auswich. And those of you who have done your history homework will know that that was a name of a concentration camp. No, he doesn't move into the camp rather than near it, in a beautiful home. One day Bruno goes exploring and discovers a fence and another boy behind it wearing pajamas. His name is Shmul. And while you can see the two kids bond, i couldn't help but feel it was a bit mechanical and too scripted. Gretel, Bruno's sister, is a bit rotten to him at the beginning but softens up towards the end espescally when their parents are fighting. Why, oh why do you love heated arguments Miramax? Why? You know it makes me sad! And this movie isn't shy about putting some pretty hating words about Jews and the Jewish religion. It's all for education though. The Verdict:The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is decent. While it may not have fantastic acting or perfect direction, or you can't get a deep connection with the characters, or even that it's a bit too short, it still shows emotion when it needs to and with a somewhat brutal twist at the end, it may make you think about yourself and even make you a bit sad. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas isn't great, so if your looking for a great WWII movie watch Schindler's List instead, you still might want to check it out or take your curious older kids to see it.I give it three wizards turned Nazi generals out of five. 3/5. Proffeser Lupin from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is in this one. Just in case you wondered.
