Review of : ''The Boy in the Striped Pajamas'' Based on the best-selling novel by John Boyne

Rating: 9/10 (11 April 2010)

I am going to write an review about the movie: ''The boy in the striped pajamas'' We saw the movie in the class at school.
The story takes place in the Second World War and is about a German boy, Bruno. His father is in the army and has a high SS rank. At a certain moment they move to a another place. The boy doesn't like it, but he has to. Then he discovers a camp what is according to him a farm. If he goes there, he meets a Jewish boy, Shmuel. Later Shmuel persuades him to come to the park to find his dad. Bruno does still not know what kind of that cruel place the park is. With all consequences.
This film is a beautiful drama about a story that every one will regret. All the actors play fantastic roles, and live themselves entirely into the movie. The film was nominated for a ' ' Goya' ' for best European movie and actress Fera Farmiga won a British Independent film Award for her astounding performance as mother Elsa.
Because of its sad story this film will seize many people. You get such a compassion with that boy, because he doesn't know anything all about the true story of the camp and thinks that it's all a game. Bruno was there at the wrong moment, at the wrong place.
That was his fate, his destination.
