The boy in the Striped Pajamas


This film was one of the more tear jerking films we have viewed this semester. This was a film that I had seen prior to our viewing last week. This being said it is extremely difficult to watch even when you know what is coming at the end. After watching this film for the second time I now understand why the ending is so devastating. Of course the ending is gruesome in general but I believe while watching the beginning of the film you really get invested with the characters. I thought this film also gave a great depiction of what it was like for a Jew in this time era. I thought that the relationship between the father and the mother was interesting. The father seemed like he wasn't fully honest with his wife and showed the extreme dedication that German soldiers had for hitter and his beliefs.
