To the main creation: How many films are famous and profitable, and the institutions are exhausted.

Before the arrival of dark reason, hearing, smell and vision were used to measure the lonely childhood. The film's innocent erosion of viewers can be said to be merciless.

The childhood and friends who run freely like the wind, the gorgeous and happy parties of the upper class, the elegant female protagonist and the indifferent male protagonist, are not about choosing soldiers who are only concerned with responsibility. It stands to reason that children who fight family should not have this. The clear gray-blue eyes shouldn't have such a silly white and sweet innocence, so the background of the story is so quietly filled with a sense of existence.

The bleak new home in the countryside heralds isolation from the world. Everything is reasonable exploration and curiosity. The more "not allowed", the more it is impossible to restrain the youth's rebellious and seeking impulse. Be the first character to wear stripes When it appeared, oh, it turned out that it was a prisoner.

Loneliness and boredom continue to tease young children. Even the fascist education started by senior tutors is half-concealed and does not directly expose the blood. The imprisoned nature just wants to find a companion of the same age. No one tells the boy to wear striped clothes. The meaning, in addition to the secretive mother who only immersed himself in the world of the Virgin, the boy should have known good and evil with a minimum sense of self-preservation but was ignored by the director. (He did it on purpose).

Therefore, the main creator of this film is very cruel. He uses the method of seeing the big from the small, and dissolves the most primitive simplicity into the daily trivialities, trying to use a plain story to make people feel the unforgettable pain. The cry from the sky in the rainy night, the momentary pain, are all deliberate efforts of the director and screenwriter. As the saying goes, the more you love, the more painful, the more you like the boy’s innocence and cuteness, the more you can hate fascism.

This film is also a warning to parents. Don’t expect this world to be beautiful. Everyone has unforgettable kindness. Even in this peaceful age, you must learn from elementary school to avoid disadvantages and keep in mind the safety education. .

Finally, the two boys are indeed innocent and cute. The tragedy stems from politics. Well, I wish "world peace".

    The ending is shocking, and the angle is tricky.

    75/100, the director created a complete system of symbols (from striped pajamas to various fences, nets, etc.) to wrap this ironic tragic story, and the mood is quite good. And set up "irrational" characters to destroy the "rational" world and established rules, and the character's perspective is the opposite of the traditional sense, which is relatively novel and has deeper thinking, when the natural compassion for all innocent people is guided by images. The biased emotions generated by the shift seem more interesting than the seemingly clichéd Nazi issue. However, there is still a problem. Except for the first protagonist, the other characters are more heavily masked, and the design of the whole event is too heavy. Although it is depressing, the aftertaste is still very empty.
