The Boy in the Striped Dilemma

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2011)

When you're going to see a film involving prejudice, you must be ready to see a touching picture that will probably move you. It isn't any different in this case. "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" is a "simple" story that use kids to show how dumb prejudice is. Some people, including me, can't understand why people still believe that being from one religion or one color of skin are considered better or worse. Sometimes it's difficult to understand why some people are so hateful like Bruno's father, but the truth is, there are lots of people like him; in Brazilian military, there are lots of guys with these kind of thoughts. Even in academic place, like in my university, we can see ignorant people that believe in these prejudiced ideologies.
All in all, this film is worth being seen since the story is well elaborated, with an engaging directing and storytelling, leaving a nice message in the end. Give it a chance.
