The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

Anybody walking into this movie hoping to be entertained have better consider other options. There is seriously nothing entertaining about the Jew persecution in the Second World War.

The story unfolds through the eyes of an eight-year-old German boy who establishes an unlikely friendship with another boy of his age in a nearby concentration camps that his father, a Nazi SS officer, was task to manage.

The glaring differences of their relationship reiterates that Friendship (like Love) is something that knows no bounds. This movie also served as a rude reminder that Life is never fair. But we have to continue to do whatever we can to strike a balance whenever we can or have the choice to, especially as adults.

The movie kinda picked up in its last quarter as I was really curious what was going to happen next and how the movie would end. It scores full point on morals but could have been much better if all its actors was not spotting an overpowering English accent.
