Reflect

The movie “The boy in the strip pajamas" actually does reflect on events that happened in Germany during the holocaust. This is when Hitler declared that all Jews should be killed or be sent to concentration camps which resulted to slavery. Many Germans who had families were forced to move closer to concentration camps due to their ranks. Concentration camps is where they killed Jews in gas chambers, during the movie it showed how the Germans and the Jews were treated differently, they could never have peace together. In the movie Bruno went behind his parents knowledge and became friends with a Jew name Shmuel even before knowing he was a Jew. After knowing Shmuel was a Jew he still became friends with him not even caring he was a Jew.

ReTALE

The movie relates the reality of the world as in life there is a full of hatred including racial and discrimination conflict. People end up judging other by the way they look as in :skin color, religion, accent physical appearance and etc. Not even knowing what kind of person one is from the inside (personality). The movie explains how Jews were judged on by Nazi's, but Bruno overlooked it and their friendship took over the hatred other's first looked at.
