The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

It is the only movie I ever cried at.

Tough movie to watch but ultimately very good!

very apprehensive going to see this film, but I like war related films. Very good film, possibly in my top 10 films. Explores the family of a German concentration camp commander and the fallingout and straining of the families relationship. the star role Bruno meets a jewish boy from the camp and strike a friendship. The ending of the film is certainly different from what I would have envisioned, but you will have to see it for yourself.

Wonderful cinematography and a different take on Holocaust films. Very moving albeit linear plot. I would never watch this again for the simple fact that I probably wouldn't survive the ending a second time.

I BAWLED MY EYES OUT

This is a sobering human story centering on young-ish kids. A well made film.

Literally one of the saddest movies I have ever seen

sad

A potentially strong film of reality hidden from the gaze of an innocent, yet inquisitive, child is marred by an ending succumbing to countless Nazi-cliches and emotional masturbation. This otherwise interesting theme is played out during Holocaust, for simplicity, but cannot avoid the trite Hays-like finger pointing (Children burn! Nazi bad!), which then comes off too simplistic for a subjective film unaware of these brutalities. A brave film would have him live on - innocense lost. Brutal.

This movie had many tense moments. Apparently there is some criticism on the story on the fictional novel on which the movie is based.

Good

This movie shows how deep-rooted hatred and racism is learnt. This allows us to see in an innocent kid's mind meeting with another innocent kid. They both interact each other normally, unbeknownst that it's "forbidden". It shows us how humans are born with love, but it's how hate brainwashes us into prejudice. This touched me to the core, especially the ending hitting me like a brick. The mother's acting was on point, her screams kept ringing in my head even after the movie was done.

Oh my goodness! I wish I had read the book first so I could compare the two. I love holocaust movies because they really bring the tragedy into perspective. This historical fiction did not disappoint and the ending...phenomenal.
