The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Has anyone else seen this film?
It's about a young German boy in WW2 who is moved to a house built near a concentration camp. He manages to get to the camp and befriends a Jewish boy on the other side. He's a really innocent boy, who's been told that the camps are 'fun places' and farms with animals, and he's very sheltered from the war and doesn't know what is really happening.
I found the movie very harrowing and my mouth was just like
at the end. So, so so sad.
A few weeks ago, I had a friend say to me that films like this shouldn't be made as for some people it's still just too soon. I think the opposite, I like films about the Holocaust. Well, maybe like is the wrong word considering the nature of it, but I find them all so interesting, and I don't think things like that should ever be forgotten, and film is a way to show it well. I can see why some people wouldn't like it though, but I really found this movie to be amazing - until the end when I just wanted to curl up in a ball and die.
