A very touching and heart breaking drama

Rating: 9/10 (6 December 2008)

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is a fictional story that offers a unique perspective on how prejudice, hatred and violence affect innocent people, particularly children, during wartime. The movie is situated in WWII, the holocaust seen through the innocent eyes of Bruno, an eight year old kid and his forbidden friendship with Shmuel, a Jewish boy captive in a concentration camp. It is a movie full of drama, it is so touching and heart breaking that you can't hold your tears from dropping. The performances from all the cast are astonishing and breathe taking specially from the two kids (Asa Butterfield and Jack Scanlon). In conclusion, it is a movie that you will suffer but that it is definitely worthy and fully recommendable.
