The Boy In the Striped Pyjamas

[JustAnotherGen]

Not the typical film with the Holocaust as the focal point in and of itself. A bit of a twist, and extremely disturbing - especially in light of the crimes committed by our NeoCon Government in our names these past few years. To include having held children in Gitmo . . . My thoughts on that are here:

Go when you can be prepared to feel sick when you walk out of the theater.


Ahhh - please let there be peace with Obama in office and let there be no more children harmed by insanity, stupidity and war.

1. My mom just told me about this film-

Thanks for reminding me about it.
I hear it is a five tissue box watch.
She said the people in the theatre were stunned and
just sat frozen and silent after the film ended.
She said no one said a word as they left the screening
and that they looked like they had been traumatized.

2. Have now read the book

But I would agree with your mom . . . with the exception of some little moron who yelled, "I knew that was going to happen" - everyone was fairly speechless.

Having read the book - I preferred the books ending. . .
