The room he lives in can see the "farm" not far away. He thought it was a farm because the people there were working. He was just wondering, why do these people work in pajamas? Bruno's pajamas are gray striped pajamas, very similar to the clothes those people wear.
There is a cook in Bruno's family, who also has a set of striped pajamas in his coat, which makes Bruno very strange. The old man who helped the cook was peeling potatoes every day, and he was always crooked when he walked, with a panic expression on his face.
Bruno had no place to go to school, and he and his twelve-year-old sister began to accept the tutor's instruction from their father. The teacher is an old man named Liszt. Liszt read a very thick book to Bruno, who asked to like to read adventure novels. The book was called "My Struggle". But Bruno couldn't stand it. He always wanted to go through the back door to look outside, because the front door could not go out, there were SS soldiers leading the wolfhound.
Seeing this, you should understand that this is a World War II movie. For a long time, such a movie has been the main theme of Western directors revealing the nature of war and the nature of human nature. The story follows the Hollywood path. There are many suspense, many small sensationalisms, a psychological contest between justice and injustice, and many preludes that hint at the ending. I watched and estimated the development of the plot, and based on my own experience, I thought that in the end, the protagonist must be killed and reborn. This is an old routine. This film is called "Boys in Striped Pajamas", which is said to be one of the Oscar films in 2009.
However, I did not wait until such an end. I saw Bruno met Schmüll, an eight-year-old kid on the side of the "farm" pulling a barbed wire fence. This kid was wearing striped clothes. We all know that this is the clothes in the concentration camp. The child is a Jew. Regarding the story of their concentration camp, we have seen too many movies and books. However, when I saw this child with a round head and missing teeth and a hungry face, there was a feeling of anger in my heart. I hate the director for why he put such a child in such a place.
The anger accumulates little by little. I think I am a TV documentary director for many years, and I think I can calmly watch the incident happen. However, I can't stop the anger, for the real advancement of the plot and the creation of the drama. Finally, in order to find Schmüll’s "missing" father, the two children together asked Bruno, the little boy, to put on a strip of clothes and go into the concentration camp. They searched in sheds one by one, but they went into a big shed, which was like a pile of garbage. Men preparing to enter the shower room.
The ending is predictable. The men were rushed into the shower room. It was raining. Bruno told the Jewish children: They might have let us hide from the rain.
Then, someone ordered them to take off their clothes, and then the iron door was closed, and it was poisonous gas. Then there were people screaming in despair. Then the two boys held their hands together, looking confused and terrified. Then came the black field.
These things happened during this period. Bruno asked his father: why are we here. Father said: We are working for the country to be strong, we are working for the country, and for the happiness of the people.
Bruno asked her sister, "Why do they work on the farm?"
My sister said, "Do you still think it is a farm? There is a camp. They are Jews. They defeated us in the First World War. They will be punished. We have suffered misfortune. So treat them like this.
Bruno asked the driver: "What is the black smoke from that chimney? Smells bad? "The driver said: "The garbage burned in there." "
Bruno asked the teacher:" The Jews are not a good person? "The
teacher said: "If you can find a good person, then you are a great explorer. "
Only the mother and grandmother hate this war but are powerless.
At the end of the film, the father of the concentration camp finds that his son has been locked in a gas chamber. He is standing in front of the silent iron gate, drenched in the rain, and in pain. The war is depicted cruelly with the story of a boy.
There are many details, such as the old potato peeler, he saved Bruno who fell from the swing. Bruno felt that he was a doctor from his skilled dressing. The old man admitted Bruno's guess. He wondered why the old man had to peel potatoes. He said to the old man: "Pavel, if you are still a doctor, you must be a good doctor." The Jewish doctor Pavel's mixed feelings at that moment made me cry. I'm afraid I will cry out loud.
For example, the blonde driver, whose father was a dissident, ran to Switzerland when the war started. Bruno's father thought this was an unpatriotic and irresponsible university professor. Their conversation was during dinner. The Jewish doctor Pavel was the person who served them alcohol. The driver vented his panic to Pavel's upper body and dragged him into the kitchen for a violent beating. Pavel never showed up at Bruno's house again. The driver was finally punished for his disloyal father and sent to the battlefield.
For example, Bruno saw the little boy Schmoer at home. Because the child had small hands, he was called to wipe the glass. Bruno gave the little boy a snack, and when the little boy was gobbled up and almost choked, he was caught by the driver on the spot. The driver asked Bruno if he knew such a boy, and if the snack he confessed to him was given by Bruno. Bruno said: I don't know him, he took the snacks himself. The little Jewish boy Schmoor, those eyes looking at Bruno were heartbreaking.
I saw the anger that was generated lasting into the middle of the night, at four o'clock in the morning, I was still awake desperately, and my mind was full of fragments and lines of the film, the kind of crisp childish voice, the kind of conversation that was incomprehensible to the world.
Thinking of my teenage years, I often think that my responsibility is to liberate the children of capitalist society who are in misfortune. I am willing to sacrifice my life for this.
Now over half a hundred years old, I know that the world is too big and we know too little. Many things are not what we heard and imagined. I am often ashamed of my insincereness. So, I want to work hard to tell the truth. Although, it is so difficult. It was so difficult that I would cry bitterly.
