This is a movie based on a book that explains the history of nacis from the viewpoint of a child of 12 years called Bruno. Bruno is the son of an official naci, so he and his family will move in a house next to the concentration camp of Auschwitz. Bruno doesn’t want to leave his city because he believes that he will lose their three “best friends for life”. Bruno is very bored in his new home because he doesn’t go to school and he hasn’t got neighborhood, so he hasn’t got friends, so one day he will visit the area around his house, and through a gate Bruno meet Smuel, a boy with the same age as Bruno but a little different physically, Smuel is thinner, paler and with his hair shaved at 0. Bruno realizes that Smuel and all the other people behind the gate dressed in a striped pyjamas, and he doesn’t understand why. One day Smuel asks Bruno to help him to look for his father because a few days ago he had gone nowhere and he never returned. Bruno agrees to help, so Smuel brings to Bruno a striped pyjamas and Bruno dresses and traspas the gate. They enter in the middle of a bunch of people and it begins to rain. They are been bringing somewhere but they don’t know where and when they come indoors, Bruno think that is because of the rain, but suddenly their lives ends. After a few months of searching for Bruno, his father understand what really happened.
I really like this film, because it shows the story of the nacis from the viewpoint of a boy that he doesn’t know anything about it, so he doesn’t know why everything happens. I think that’s a film that everyboy must see for knowing more about the nacis and for seeing it more closely.
