The film is just 90 minutes long, and it does not need gunpowder, war, corpses, and crying, enough to make people feel the cruelty of war. War makes people crazy. Her husband, who believed in Hitler so much, became a murderous demon and an unfilial son overnight; her wife, who admired her husband so much, was on the verge of collapse overnight, her face was expressionless, and her clothes were disheveled; the young, romantic and ignorant daughter blindly followed and wanted to To be "people the country needs"; to show his determination, Lieutenant Klert beats innocent Jewish servants against his will; governess who talks about trying to brainwash children; and the group of officers who seriously examine the situation in the concentration camps...
Throughout the film, It was Bruno's blue eyes. Only through his eyes can we see a beautiful world and kind humanity. Pure sky, green trees, swinging swings, meandering rivers. He loves his father, he believes that his father treats people in the concentration camp kindly; he loves his sister, and he will talk to her when he is sad and puzzled; he treats every stranger, the doctor who peels potatoes, and the little friends in the concentration camp with kindness.
There is a huge contrast between Bruno's world and reality. Perhaps the film is trying to make us feel the cruelty of war through such a contrast. NO WAR, PLEASE. I don't want to see trembling old men in prison shirts, hungry children with swollen eyes, and countless frightened and helpless eyes. If I were born in Bruno's time, I think I'd be crazy too.
