Horror of Holocaust seen in a Different Perspective.......

Rating: 7/10 (21 February 2015)

There have been notable movies on holocaust featuring the harrowing experiences of the Jews Concentration Camp like "Schindler's List" (in which a businessman saves a huge number of Jews from gassing in the concentration camps), "Life Is Beautiful" (in which a Jews father saves his son in the concentration camp by pretending they are in a picnic), "The Pianist" (a real story of a pianist who hides out to remain alive in the Warsaw Ghetto). Well, 'The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas" doesn't have the enough power to hold you for its slow pace and a blatant narrative. But the approach with which it views the holocaust is pretty different and touching. It views the terrors of holocaust through a friendship between eight year old Bruno with a Jew Boy and the unexpected consequences of the friendship. The film at the beginning feels a bit a cold attempt in reviving the atrocities of holocaust but by the end it turns into a touching story of humanity and innocence which fell victim to war.
