Good film

Rating: 7/10 (24 June 2013)

The Holocaust was a very dark chapter in human history. This film is set in the same period in Germany. The story is of a little boy named Bruno and his friendship with a Jew. Though set during the turbulent times of Holocaust, the film unfolds in an startling way. We see it from the eyes of a child. A child's mind is pure and does not know anything about hate and cultural differences. Eight year innocent Bruno symbolizes that very thing. Even after his tutor teaches them against the Jews, he still does not believe him and keeps his friendship. A touching story that shows not only shows the condition during the time(the German soldiers like Lieutenant Kotler and Bruno's father hate the Jews) but also tells the story of friendship. The cast performs well, especially Asa Butterfield(As Bruno) and Vera Farmiga.
