Touching

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2009)

There is a guarantee with this film that anyone who watches The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas will be greatly moved. I went to see this movie on my own, and I know for a fact that I was not the only one who sat there in silence minutes after the credits had finished rolling. This film is incredibly moving and will touch the hearts of even the coldest.
The mother's emotions throughout the film grasp what many people felt throughout the times of the Holocaust, and made the most heart-racing moments even more intense. I will never forget her screaming in anguish for the loss of her son through the most touching consequences, and it will be an image that will remain with me for a long long time.
There are no words to describe how how felt after watching this film. I did not cry, but I remember that night I continued to think and reflect upon this film for hours. I was completely unprepared before I watched this film and I was left speechless.
