The Boy In The Striped Pajamas

[Annie]

:bawling: whoa... what an intense movie (although I figured it would be given the subject matter). I was not expecting it to end as it did (I won't say more for those who may not have seen the movie). The story includes an interesting contrast of an innocent child’s perspective in a setting with
circumstances far from innocent.

It's still so hard to believe that human beings could treat other human beings in this manner. The worst part is, I am not sure that the human race as a whole learned enough from the this :(

So, who else saw the movie (I know it's been out for a couple of years)? What did you think?

never even heard of it, but i'm definitely intrigued.

Very powerful movie Collette -- Copied this synopsis from an online review:

Based on the novel by John Boyne, THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS is a wrenching Holocaust story about a young German boy and his forbidden friendship with a Jewish child. Bruno (Asa Butterfield) is living a charmed life in Berlin as the son of a high-ranking Nazi soldier, when his father (David Thewlis) is suddenly transferred to a job out in the country. Bruno, as well as his sister Gretel (Amber Beattie) and mother (Vera Farmiga) must all join him at his new post. Bruno is lonely and confused by his new surroundings, and he doesn't understand why he can't wander the grounds or play at a nearby farm. The "farm," of course, is a concentration camp...
