The Boy in the Striped Pajamas


Since I first saw a trailer for this movie, I had though it would be an interesting story. One of my favorite movies is Schindler's List, and I hoped that this would be similar. Set during World War II, this story is seen through the innocent eyes of Bruno the eight-year-old son of the commandant at a concentration camp whose forbidden friendship with a Jewish boy on the other side of the camp fence has startling and unexpected consequences. Although it is a very touching and wrenching story, it is very different from Schindler's list. We got it from Red Box, and it was well worth it. I give it a 8.5/10.
