he is my friend

Analysis of "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" Before the arrival of dark rationality, hearing, smell and vision were used to measure childhood. In the eyes of the little boy Bruno, what he hears is the devil Jew who echoes what others say, what he smells is the smell of burning corpses that he does not know until he is buried, and what he sees is the murder factory in the fence. Behind these grays is the abyss that his friend led him through the fence step by step. Ethnic discrimination and Jewish genocide are not deeply depicted in the film, but the killing is being staged in the slowly spreading black smoke. When the boy took a small shovel and walked into the Jewish concentration camp with apology to his friends to take risks, the boy's innocence magnified with his arms stretched to imitate the fighter plane was more powerful than the loud war scene. Rather than his friends leading him to his death, it was the result of the entire war on the Jewish nation, the boy in the striped pajamas went on an adventure, and the killing didn't stop.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas quotes

  • Herr Liszt: Yes Bruno?

    Bruno: I don't understand, the Jew is down to this one man?

    Herr Liszt: The Jew here means the entire Jewish race. If it was just this one man I'm sure something would be done about him.

    Bruno: There is such thing as a nice Jew isn't there?

    Herr Liszt: [Sarcastically] I think Bruno if you ever find a nice Jew, you'd be the best explorer in the world.

  • Father: My work is very important to our country and to you. We're working very hard to make the world better for you.
