Give me a pair of child's eyes

Mr. Qian Zhongshu said: Everyone has prejudice, because people's hearts are always on the left, so they are biased.
The film begins by saying: Before the arrival of dark reason, hearing, smell and vision were used to measure childhood.

I don't know whether prejudice, discrimination, and hatred come from unreasonable partiality or rational manipulation and calculation. In this beautiful and terrifying movie, in the deepest darkness in the history of mankind, the 12-year-old sister who has arrived rationally grows hatred amid the prejudice against the Jews that the powerful state machinery has systematically created. , And 8-year-old Bruno used the innocence to understand the world and the real people he met on the swing in the mountains and the forest outside the railway net.

Friendship is here, like a dazzle that tears the darkness, and is an outpost for the revealing of evil, so the lies are packaged into fairy tales, trying to delay the death of evil, and finally go to the abyss together. In the middle of the movie, I imagined countless endings, either innocence and salvation, or facing reality. However, when the door of the gas chamber was closed, the mother screamed in the heavy rain, and striped pajamas were scattered on the ground. . . The unprepared dull pain hits swiftly and neatly, and I can only be shocked on the spot. I opened my mouth for a long time, and I forgot to shed tears.

The clear eyes of the child, the beautiful friendship of childhood, the clear sky, and the bright colors gradually fade away, as if it has become an old movie with strong emotions and mottled pictures. That door cuts off the innocence and innocence, the clearness of human nature, and the stupid hope. That door is still there now, in everyone's heart. We always gather into communities based on some common points, and categorize the people outside the community. Storytelling may be one of the ways to break through these cultural barriers. Although stories cannot remove barriers, they can pierce holes in our psychological Berlin wall and reveal light, allowing us to see the world of others and even fall in love with those worlds.

May the world be worry-free.

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.
