Must watch movie

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2011)

It is one of those unheard movies which definitely deserved a lot more of reception from the accolades aspect.I bumped into this movie accidentally, no one had recommended me or so..... So I didn't have much expectations.. So was just watching.. While watching this movie, Atonement was flashing at the back of my head... I don't know what, but yes I found a strange similarity between these 2 movies...
This movie has a backdrop of world war II. It is based on a novel of same title by John Boyne.The main protagonist of this movie is Bruno a eight year old kid who moves into hinterlands of Germany with his family.His dad holds a high position in German Military group. Bored in this new isolation away from his school and friends Bruno spots a Farm with a lot of farmers and children from his window..He is bored and needs company..He reaches out to the farm and befriends a kid in a farm.... The friendship deepens.. Bruno doesn't realize that the farm is nothing but a concentration camp.....On his last day at the place, he wants to bid goodbye to his Jewish friend in the camp...He goes a step ahead in his attempt to help him..Both are oblivious of the consequences ahead.
Even after the movie was over, I thought about Bruno and his friend in stripped pajama for a while...It is a great watch and it doesn't bore you even for a second.Must watch movie..
