The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
I watched The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.The main people in the movie were the husband (soldier), wife, maid, and two kids(one girl and one boy named Bruno) In the beginning, the family was living in Berlin but the father got promoted to go live somewhere else. The kids were not happy because that means giving up their friends. All of them moved anyways. The kids were not happy there and wanted to move back, but Dad insisted he had work to do as being a soldier.
Bored and restless, Bruno explored all the time. He always wondered why there were people in his lawn with “Pyjamas” on. One guy in particular he met in his lawn after Bruno fell off his tire swing was an old man named Gather, who had to work at their house. He told Bruno how he was studying to be a doctor before he had to go there. Of course, Bruno is eight-years old and did not understand. One day Gather was pouring drinks into the family’s drink glasses for supper and his hands were shaky and missed the glass (spilled.) Gather got beat that instant and was never seen again by Bruno.
Bruno was known for his exploring and he snuck out of the boundaries of his household and ran into the woods. Running around for a while, Bruno stopped and spotted a young boy behind a fence in white striped pyjamas. After meeting this boy, Bruno came almost every day to see him from then on. Every time Bruno visited he brought the boy food. One day, the boy was ordered to go to Bruno’s house to clean dishes because he has small fingers. Bruno saw him and was ecstatic. He offered him food so he started eating it. Then, one of the soldiers walks into the room and notices him eating and yelled at him. Bruno denied of ever meeting him or giving him food. The boy was taken away a while later and had consequences for speaking to anyone in that household and eating anything at all. The boy was gone from behind that fence for quite a while. The next time he showed up, he had a huge black eye. Bruno said sorry for what he did to him and they remained friends.
Bruno continued on coming to see him. One day the boy was sad because he couldn’t find his “Papa” and Bruno was sad because his mom and dad were constantly fighting and he was now going to move away forever. So that day an idea came about for Bruno to sneak into the camp to help the boy find his “Papa.” The very next day he was supposed to leave so he brought a shovel the next day before lunch and dug a hole and snuck into the camp. He was with the boy for a little while then that day looking. All of a sudden, the soldiers ordered everyone to go to a building and strip their clothes off and go into a dark room. By that time, Bruno’s parents had already figured out where he was(search dogs) and was too late. Bruno and the boy were in a gas room and …. Everyone in the camp died slowly but surely.
I LOVED this movie and I definitely think everyone needs to watch this movie. It makes you stop and think about what you have and don’t need.
