One Of the Best Movies I've Seen

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2010)

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas has got to be one of the most amazing movies i've ever seen.
Before seeing the movie I read the book, which I really enjoyed and found very touching and eye opening. I was a little nervous to see the movie as I was afraid that it might not live up to the standards I had after reading the book. But I was not disappointed at all. The movie stayed with the book very well. Of course it wasn't exactly the same but it was very close.
I was very impressed with the cast selection. I enjoyed the fact that non of the actors were well known, it somehow made the acting more believable. I also noticed that the actors looked as I imagined them while I was reading the book.
The thing I was most impressed with was the acting itself. It was so convincing and realistic it was as if these things were really happening to these actors.
The only critique I have for the movie was the accents the characters used, It was much more of an English accent than a German one. I am German and speak some and have many friends with German accents and I'm afraid that the accents in this movie are not anywhere near what I recognize to be a German accent.
Overall I was VERY happy with the movie and can't wait to watch it again. 9/10 !
