The boy's father can be said to be a masked Nazi officer, judging from the helmet badge and the eagle erected at the door later, it should be a high-ranking officer belonging to the Waffen-SS. Absolutely cruel, the same for relatives and followers - the film may be an attempt to use the boy's sister's near-brainwashing to explain the boy's father's thinking pattern. A little rigid, but still acceptable.
The boy's mother did an excellent job. The paleness, worry, pain, hysteria, and hysteria when she was wearing makeup and graceful makeup were all in place. She loved her slightly drooping corners of her eyes, and she was unspeakable. Vera Farmiga, remember this name and look forward to seeing more of her in the future.
The pace of the story is always slow. I always thought the soundtrack was very nice, mainly piano, maybe it was Philip Glass, but he didn't have his neuroticism. He was very clear and sometimes even felt that it was too girly to cooperate with Xiaojiabiyu's plot. When I came back and checked, it was James Horner, the girly girl. I don't know what it would be like to switch to Philip Glass - I'm afraid the audience is too sad.
But in the end, it was too much. When I walked out of the movie theater, there were still women sitting there crying non-stop. I have always been prone to crying when watching movies, but at that moment, I just covered the gaping mouth with my hands, wondering if I could plug an ostrich egg. After 80 minutes, I could have guessed the development of the plot, and I never thought that everything would take such a sharp turn. It was as if Teresa, who was smiling in the sword, was suddenly cut into a human stick, and Kuraya was confirmed to be a rookie-the shock was greater than the rest.
I don't know whether such a sharp turn is good or bad, after all, the rhythm and tone of the film were not originally like this. At the end of The man from earth, many people also questioned this. Personally, I would rather the hero leave an ambiguous smile and let everything remain a mystery. So let me make a verdict, the first half of The boy in the striped pyjamas is very good, everything is the tension behind the gentleness, even the old Jewish man was beaten to death only with the maid washing the floor and the boy's "Why doesn't he Come again" to point out; the final ending is over the line, over, maybe the movie is to further highlight the tragedy, but this pace is not right, the first half of the sense of substitution has been eliminated, and it has become full of preaching.
