Hello, I'm Anne who loves to watch dramas
Today continue to give you a classic movie of 9.1 points on Douban - "Boy in Striped Pajamas".
The film unfolds from the perspective of Bruno, a young boy with clear blue eyes. Bruno, 8, has been living a carefree life under the protection of his parents.
Until one day, the officer's father told him that he was going to move his family to a new residence because of his promotion. The whole family is happy about his father's promotion, but Bruno does not care whether his father is promoted or not, he does not want to leave the family, does not want to leave his friends.
But Bruno didn't have a choice, and after some tossing and turning, the family finally arrived at their new residence. It's not so much a residence as it is a barracks. Bruno is disappointed with his new home, where there are only soldiers and no children. The gate was guarded by soldiers all day long, and Bruno was not allowed to leave the courtyard, or even play in the front yard, and even the backyard was forbidden.
Bored Bruno began to notice Pavel, the servant of the house. Pavel was different from the other servants in that he wore a strange blue striped pajamas. When he first moved to his new home, Bruno saw through the window a group of busy people not far away, also wearing striped pajamas.
Once, Bruno fell and bruised while playing on a swing, and Pavel bandaged Bruno. During the chat, Bruno learned that Pavel was actually a doctor, and Bruno was very puzzled why the doctor came to his house to cut potatoes, and he even thought to himself: Adults are really strange!
Bruno, 8, of course, doesn't understand that the blue pajamas in his eyes are actually prison uniforms. And the group of people in blue pajamas who were busy in the distance were Jews who had been captured by their father's subordinates, and pavel, the servant, was no exception.
One day, a bored Bruno stumbled upon the window in the backyard that led out. Although he knew that he was not allowed, Bruno still couldn't resist sneaking out of the backyard. Bruno, who sneaked out, was like a bird returning to the sky, running freely in the forest, cheering, and unconsciously coming to a place surrounded by barbed wire. Bruno spotted a boy in a striped pajamas curled up against the barbed wire, and a curious Bruno stepped forward to say hello.
The boy in the striped pajamas opposite is named Schmol, who is also 8 years old. Bruno, who found a friend of the same age, could not hide his joy, and his adventure was successful! Since then, Bruno has often sneaked out to chat with new friends, he is curious about everything inside the barbed wire, and has always felt that people in pajamas must be playing some interesting game, and tried to join several times, but Schmol told him that it was not a game.
Bruno did not know that at the end of the barbed wire was the Nazi concentration camp, where most of the people were imprisoned, and they could not even be called human. The only object on the body was the "striped pajamas", where both young and old had to work intensively, endure hunger and cold every day, and be sent to the gas room for human experiments.
Bruno often smelled the foul smell coming from the side of the barbed wire, and his father, who was the commander of the concentration camp, and his subordinate soldiers knew it was coming from the gas laboratory, but no one would tell him, and even Bruno's mother was kept in the dark.
Although Bruno felt that his environment was very different from his previous home, because he had a new partner, nothing else mattered. Bruno and his friends often meet on both sides of the barbed wire, and each time Bruno will bring him food. Bruno even invites Schmol to play at home, but Schmold is frustrated and tells Bruno that he is Jewish and cannot go out.
Since there was no school nearby, Bruno's father hired a tutor to teach Bruno and his sister a lesson, and the teacher kept telling Bruno how evil and dangerous the Jews were, and that all Jews were our enemies! But Bruno's eyes were not like that.
Although the young Bruno was very confused, but his father, soldiers, tutors, and sister all believed that the Jews were enemies and demons, Bruno began to waver, should he believe what his family said, or what he saw and heard? Which is true?
By chance, Bruno's mother learned the truth about the concentration camp. She couldn't accept that her beloved husband was doing such inhuman things, and she didn't want her children to stay in such a place. After several cries, and considering that he could not affect his image of authority, Bruno's father agreed to temporarily move to a relative's house, but just as they were leaving, they found that Bruno was missing.
It turned out that Bruno had sneaked into the side of the barbed wire in order to help his good friend Schmold find his father, who had been missing for three days, before leaving. He changed into the clothes Semmel had prepared, and Bruno became a "boy in striped pajamas."
Misfortune also occurred, and while searching for Schmol's father, the soldiers took the entire barracks to the gas chamber under the guise of bathing. Bruno and Schmol's lives will always stop at the age of 8.
As the film begins with the sentence "Before the dark reason arrives, childhood is measured by hearing, smell, and vision."
Childhood should be carefree, but in the dark of times, who can escape?
