Playing a sad song of the times with two innocent hearts, the movie "The Boy in Striped Pajamas" starts from the child's point of view and measures the distance between good and evil with the heart of deficit. There is no flesh-and-blood picture, and the entire story line is proceeding smoothly, but this kind of smoothness brings depression from beginning to end. All the concealment around the two children helped them to automatically shield them from the ugliness of the times. In the eyes that can only see the beauty, there is still the exploration of curiosity. Without the hindrance of fear, they are gradually walking on the road to the abyss. away.

As we went out yesterday to find the prisoners, I felt like that little boy who wanted to save the world."
