For my second assigned blog I chose to watch The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. This movie follows the life of a little German boy named Bruno. Bruno's dad is a very high ranked German soldier. When his dad gets a promotion the family is forced to leave the city and move to the countryside. From his new room Bruno can see the ''farm", which is actually a concentration camp full of Jews. Bruno becomes very curious about what the camp is all about and why they wear pajamas all the time. Bruno is starting to become very close to the boy on the other side of the fence. He always asks the boy many questions about why he is in the camp and why he isn't allowed out. Shmuel, the little Jewish boy, is being very secretive and Bruno does not understand. As the movie goes on Bruno and Shmuel grow closer through friendship until one when Shmuel's dad dies. Bruno decides to dig a hole to get on the other side of the fence. Shmuel gives him pajamas just like his, little did either of them know they were going to get gassed and be killed. This movie is definitely a tearjerker, but worth the watch.
I would give the movie a full 10/10.
