Retell: This movie is about a boy, named Bruno who lives in Nazi Germany, during 1943 in a German family. One day, he sees what he thinks is a farm and goes to check it out. When he gets there, he see a boy, named Shmuel and they quickly become good friend. Bruno goes to see Shmuel regularly and provides him with food. Later, Bruno decides to dig a hole and help Shmuel find his father. As they are looking for him, Bruno and Shmuel end up in a crowd of people and are taken to a gas chamber and end up dying.
Relate: This movie reminds me of a television show, called The 100. In the show, Earth had become uninhabitable for humans a century ago due to a devastating nuclear war. From then on, approximately 3000 people moved to a spaceship that orbited Earth, but eventually the food and oxygen supplies started to run out and they sent 100 people back to Earth to see if it was habitable. It was like a suicide mission because they assumed the Earth had too much radiation, but luckily the Earth was livable. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas reminds me of The 100 because people are separated from their families and sent away to their death. Even though the people in The 100 did not die, they were sent on a suicide mission and there was a high probability that the Earth would have too much radiation for humans.
Reflect: I think this movie was very eye opening and shows to what extent humans can go to. Also, it brings into perspective how innocent people were killed for no reason. Furthermore, it shows the harsh conditions of the Holocaust and makes us appreciate our lives. Lastly, it shows us how other Germans were fooled to believe that the Jews were being treated nicely and that they had no idea what was really happened in their own country.
