The boy in the striped pyjamas.

Last Sunday I went to the cinema. I watched The boy in the striped pyjamas. I want to talk about it because I felt really bad at the end of it. It was if we've gone to the cinema to feel sad. I've really liked it, because it shows how difficult was to be Jehish and how racist where the Germans.

"Bruno is a German little boy. He's the eight-year-old son of the commandant at a Nazi concentration camp. He and his family have to leave their town and live in another house next to the concentrion camp. When they arrive, Bruno isn't happy because he has not friends and he don't like their new house. From his bedroom window he can see a building, like a farm. He meet an old man who is in that kind of farm and he ask if he is a farmer and why he's always wearing a striped pyjama. Then, the man explain him wath's exactly that buliding, but Bruno don't undersands well, because he's only eight.
While Bruno is bored in his new house, his sister, Gretel is changing her feelings and he agrees with German beliefs: jews are the devil and the Germans are the best, so they must eliminate the others.
One day Bruno wants to investigate what's out of his house. He arrives to the concentrion camp and can see a little boy, with stripe pyjama who is seated alone, and looks sad. They start to talk. He's Shmuel a Jewish eight-year-old boy. They know that they can't be friends, but they don't mind it, because they don't understand the world, and the reason of all: they only want to do all that a child do: play and have fun. So, separated by the berry, every day Bruno goes visit his friend and they play chess or they talk about that situation.
Shmuel tells Bruno that he doens't find his father and he asks him for help. They decide that Bruno is going to enter to the camp, Shmuel will bring him a pyjama and they will find his father. When Bruno is in the concentrion camp, he sees that all that his father has told him wasn't true: there aren't any bars, people isn't happy and they don't have fun. They start to find Shmuel's father in their cabin, but when they arrive there, it starts to rain. Bruno wants to go home, but all the people in that cabin must go on a "march". Neither boy knows where this march will finish. However, they follow the group and Germans say them that they are going to have a shower. Bruno and Shmuel are crowded into a gas chamber, with both of them pondering, yet unafraid."












I recomend it to you!
