At the beginning of the film, accompanied by a melodious tune, there are two contradictory pictures, one is the luxury of Berlin's upper class and the innocent running of a few children, and the other is the desperate expression of the expelled people, which is for the development of the plot. The tone was set.
Bruno, the little boy who was running ahead, returned home and wondered that many people were packing their luggage. His mother called him and his sister to his father. It turned out that his father was an army officer, and his superiors wanted to send him to work in the countryside, so their whole family had to be together. move away.
This made little Bruno very unhappy because he liked it here. Here is his favorite house and his best friends. In psychology, a stable environment in childhood is very important. Migration may cause the child's psychological instability, thereby affecting the sense of security.
But for little Bruno, this is not the most unfortunate, and the following parental behavior makes him despair.
forced to move
It can be seen that Bruno's parents did not tell him this in advance, which makes the child feel neglected during the development of self-awareness. As a result, it is impossible to feel respected. It is conceivable that Bruno's parents also disrespect their children in other aspects. As can be seen from the later plot, deception hurts Bruno more than being ignored, because their new home, although large, is dilapidated and lifeless. Moreover, it was in a deserted country, and it was closed. It was completely incomparable with the original house. What made Bruno even more desperate was that there were no neighbors around, and his father would not let him go out, which deprived the child of a lot of fun. In social psychology, a person's social interactions are important. Because people are social animals (a classic book of the same name in social psychology), a long-term lack of social interaction not only affects human development, but even causes personality problems, which is important for children who are in an important developmental period. Even worse. In developmental psychology, children need companionship very much, and talking to their partners is not only an important way to get a lot of happiness, but also an important way to learn quickly.
Bruno is thrilled to discover a "farm" in a window in his new house. Thought it was their neighbor, and wanted to go there to play, but the parents seriously refused. Because there are "weird people" there, and the window is also sealed, but they can't seal the heart of little Bruno's exploration when they go to the door. Bruno is a child of social temperament (American psychologist Bass Propose four temperament types), this type of child is naturally fond of socializing with others and curious about the outside world, coupled with the neglect of his family. It made him yearn for that "farm" even more.
Without the company of family and friends, little Bruno could only find a way to play by himself. Smartly, he saw that there were a lot of discarded tires at home and thought of making a swing, so he asked the "servant" old man (a grandfather with a leg problem, Bruno was a little scared of him because his family said he was a weirdo) to do it for himself.
Once Bruno was too excited to swing on the swing, he accidentally fell off and injured his leg. The old uncle helped him bandage the wound. Bruno was curious about how the uncle treated Wei's wound. The uncle said that he used to be a doctor. Bruno didn't really believe it, but when he saw the uncle's thoughtful face, he believed it a little. At this time, the mother came back, and out of instinct, she pulled her son back with excitement. Bruno would pass by and tell the mother, and then left. The mother felt a little guilty, and she blamed the servant uncle, but because of her identity and habits, she hesitated for a while and finally said thank you and left!
Bruno's house has a back garden, and his family has never let him go there to play, which has not even aroused Bruno's curiosity. Once he sneaked in there and found a window that would allow him to run outside, he ran out excitedly, happily running through the woods like a bird that had been locked up for a long time! He ran in the direction of "The Farm". When he got there, he found that it was different from the "farm" he thought - it was dilapidated, there was no life, and it was surrounded by iron nets!
