This film will make you cry your eyes out

Rating: 5/10 (1 February 2015)

This is a good film that will have you in floods of tears. Yes, it's true at first hearing the whole cast speak in English accents was strange, I mean they could have tried speaking in German accents but you soon get over this. Also, yes in reality concentration camps were heavily guarded on all ends so this story would never have happened. However, the acting by all is excellent and the ending is as you would expect awfully awfully sad.
On reflection though I can understand why this film has upset a few people here. I think we the audience are so devastated by the ending because of the death of Bruno as we see him as an innocent, which of course he is but the way the story is edited it forgets to portray and mention that everybody in the whole camp is innocent. So you're feeling sorrow for the German boy but not really any emotion for all the other Jews getting killed along with him, if that makes any sense. Which really shouldn't happen with a film of this nature.
All in all, great acting, even if the film does have an unrealistic plot.
