Insights on "The Boy In The Striped Pajamas"

We watched the movie "The Boy in Striped Pajamas". The movie tells about Bruno during the Nazi's invasion, this movie cruel and sad, but it was nice.

I felt really sad after reading the whole novel and watching the movie. I felt pity on Bruno for wanting to sacrifice for Shmuel. Even though, Bruno still got a family at home, instead, he helped his friend and leave his family. I felt pity on the other Jews that had been killed, and I also felt pity for Bruno's family; especially his mom, dad and sister, because they have to lose two members of the family. I also learned to respect other people advice. I also learned to be thankful for everything we have. I also learned not to bully other people because the targets will be hurt inside or physically. 

The movie and novel is really tragic but at the same time, sad. I tremble to death while watching the movie because it is really tragic.
-Angie

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is indeed a good book. It's during the NAZI invasion. It's a tear-dropping story. It shows loyalty of Bruno to his new friend, Shmuel. It shows harsh conditions that Bruno and his family is feeling. I felt sad that Bruno died because of his new friend.

After reading the novel and watching the film, they're a little bit different. The movie, in someways, shows more feelings. It is really hard to see how Bruno died, but for me, it is totally a very good story. I would recommend you to read the novel, but the movie, it's your choice.
-Vincent

We watched the movie "The Boy in Striped Pajamas". The movie tells about Bruno during the Nazi's invasion, this movie cruel and sad, but it was nice. Bruno is a adventurous, he likes discovering. One day his dad has a job far away from his house and have to move house. At the new house, he found a door the door leads to the Jews camp, Bruno ran to the door and finds a forest he ran straight through the forest and found a big fence, there the Jews camp were. he found a little kid named Shmuel. they became best friends, but they never play directly because of the fence. what they can do is only play board games. One day, Shmuel's father is lost Bruno want to help, so he dig a hole and went through the hole when he is in the camp the soldiers came and kill everything.

This movie is based from a novel and its a little bit different. I liked the movie more and my rating is excellent. also I recommend this film to you.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas movie is a little different from the book. The movie is more tragic and more detailed.

I felt sad and sympathy after watching the movie and reading the book. I felt that it’s not really fair because the Jews have to undergo cruelness. The movie shows more emotion than the book, but it doesn’t have the book’s detail. The movie is exciting, but at the same time scary.

If I have to choose, I will choose the movie, but if to choose which one is less tragic, I will choose the book. The book adds to our imagination, and the movie lets us understand the book. If you can’t stand cruelness I would recommend the book, but if you like adventure I would say watch the movie.
