The subject matter is good but lacks strong drama

The subject matter is really good, that's what I came to read, but the story is a little dull. I thought the climax was coming before the end, but it never came. The descriptions of each plot stop at the end. The old man who was a doctor, the captain who was transferred to the front line, and the little girl who was loyal to Hitler, did not have strong contrasts and conflicts, which made people feel unfinished. If they are supporting roles, then the stories of the father, mother, and the little male protagonist in the protagonist series are too ordinary. The father needs to be for the country, the mother needs to be for the child, and the child needs to be for himself. In fact, the conflict is very fierce. But the film actually treats these three as three parallel lines and just passed by, which is incredible.

Besides, about the concentration camps, the people in the concentration camps are all "fat and strong", and they don't have a strong visual impact. If you describe the Jews in the concentration camps, there is an episode of the TV series "Band of Brothers" that completely shocked the audience, then Only then did it reflect the horror of the tortured Jews that life was worse than death, and only then did it reflect the cruelty and terror of the Hitler government. It is also possible that this is a British film, and it does not dare to make too much of German history.

As for the ending, I really don't like it. After all, no one wants to see two cute eight-year-old boys die like this. But it's really ridiculous for Bruno to die by himself. One said that his father was gone, and the other rushed in to help find him. Of course, it seemed to reflect Bruno's atonement and the so-called brotherhood, but how could I have a more There was a strong feeling that the Jewish kid tricked Bruno into going in and died together. Can't I find my father on the construction site? I can't find it in the rest area. I went to the barracks to find it, but I chose a barracks to die? ? Maybe my heart is too evil to think of this level, but the director did not properly show the positive things to the audience.

A lot of people said they saw tears, but I didn't. The only time I saw Bruno's kitchen crying guilt after he betrayed the Jewish kid broke my heart. (The sins of the country should not be borne by eight-year-old children) And in the end, in the end, I just think, evil will be rewarded, no more.

The soundtrack of the movie is also relatively ordinary, nothing special.

All in all, it's not a classic.

    The novel was adapted as Hugo, the protagonist, when the children were younger, regardless of whether the two children inside or outside the wall were completely innocent and made a tragedy with a downward ending. However, the plot organization was too fragmented. The friendship between the two eight-year-old children was not complete. Seeing flowers in the fog

    [A] A film with a very unique perspective, the whole process is to see and experience such a tragic history from the vision of an innocent child from a Nazi family. Throughout the film, the symbolic structure of the "cage" appears many times, such as the house blocked by the big iron gate, the vertical fence on the stairs, the closed window, and the crucial "striped pajamas". And the most profound point of the whole film is that most people may put their feelings on the innocent German boy and his Nazi father who was punished after watching it. But it is difficult to realize in this subjective emotion that the little Jewish boy and more Jews are actually more innocent. After being pointed out, I realized that the director used such a clever method to turn the audience into a subconscious "class-conscious" person, which is actually no different from the Nazis in the film. This is the most worthy of the film's admiration.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas quotes

  • Lieutenant Kotler: They smell worse when they burn, don't they?

  • Grandma: I sometimes wonder if this is all down to me, making you those costumes for your little plays when you were tiny. You used to adore all that dressing up. Does it still make you feel special, Ralph dear? The uniform... and what it stands for?

    Father: Mother. It's a party. Let's not spoil it.

    Grandma: Ha! Me? Spoil things?

    Father: [whisper] You should be careful. Airing your views so publicly could land you in trouble. You know that.
