The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
I watched the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas which is about Bruno, a young boy and his friendship with Shmuel. Bruno who had just moved to Poland and was a son of German soldier, one day notices a farm when looking out his bedroom window. Being a young boy, Bruno doesn’t know and better and on the “farm” notices people wearing “pajamas.” Bruno was so curious he had to explore and soon discovered the people were blocked in by a fence. He ended up meeting and becoming friends with another boy, Shmuel, a Jew. Bruno kept coming back to his new friend and would bring him food. Bruno’s family ended up moving, but Bruno dressed up like a Jew to be with his new friend. They go to a concentration camp, in hopes of finding Shmuel’s dad. Instead, they ended up finding death and were killed in a gas shower.
I loved the movie, obviously not the horrible things going on at the concentration camp, but the friendship Bruno and Shmuel formed. Everybody really needs to see it because it’s a real eye opener! Bruno was obviously just an innocent boy wanting to explore his new home and came across something horrific that he really didn’t understand or even the fact that he was taught that Jews were bad but didn’t care. It really showed what a good friend Bruno was wanting to help him find his father and I cried at the ending, not gonna lie!
