Striped pajamas look better than all gorgeous costumes

From the beginning of the movie, the montage technique was used: four children chased and slapped in the street, respectively leading to scenes of ladies entering luxurious houses and soldiers arresting people; another more obvious montage technique, when Bruno and Jewish boys After discussing the digging to the concentration camp the next day, both of them were lying in bed at night, but they both looked at the sky with their eyes open.

There are many close-up shots and facial close-ups for Bruno. His blue eyes seem to be able to speak and think. It can be seen that he is a clever child. In the film, the concentrated eyes of the little boy's eyes are used to draw the next scene.

An overhead shot in the movie is still fresh in my memory. Two young boys are sitting on the ground playing chess, but there is a energized barbed wire between them. Bruno is wearing a shirt with shoulder straps and green grass on the ground; Wearing "striped pajamas", the ground was deserted. It can be said that the shortest distance is separated by the greatest difference in identity.

A similar shot in the movie touched me deeply. The bare dolls thrown away by the little girl, and the prisoners in the concentration camp squeezed there in panic and horror, but they did not know that they were waiting for a terrible gas experiment.

There is no lack of forcible instillation of wrong values ​​in the movie. My sister’s wall of stickers is embarrassing, and a striped pajama should not be used to separate the noble and the bad.

The whole movie is very depressing. Only Bruno’s time is happy and free. It is also necessary to create this movie from the perspective of a little boy, because the child’s world is simple and he does not know the crimes of adults or the Jews. Because of this, he will finally take off his "striped pajamas" and walk into the iron gate to let people reflect. He was still young and ignorant, but unlike his sister, he was not misled by the wrong education, because he knew the little boy in the concentration camp and the old man cutting potatoes in his house. He felt that the Jews were not as vicious as the teacher said. , They are very kind, and the smile of the little boy in the concentration camp when he ate the food echoed in my mind.

I remember when Bruno asked the little boy in the concentration camp "Are the pajamas in the concentration camp easy to take?" The little boy told him that there were thousands of these clothes that no one took, and the last long shot at the end-Bruno and the rest of the pajamas were hanging. , And some were thrown on the ground to form an echo.

When I see the end, I always think that the two little boys will come out, looking forward to the so-called "successful ending", but this movie is different. At the end, the remaining clothes of the Jews and the cold iron door are silent. , The background is the faint noise of heavy rain, this long shot is thought-provoking and quiet and scary.

No matter what gorgeous costumes the people wore before, wearing "striped pajamas", they are the same people, and the ending is the same. But it is those who wear "striped pajamas" who are the most beautiful people in the world.

  • Herr Liszt: Yes Bruno?

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

    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.
