To be honest, the main reason I watch this movie is Asa Butterfield was one of the cast. But then it led me to moral values, virtues, and history.

Set during World War II, Bruno, 8 year old Bruno, son of commandant at a concentration camp, seeing the truth. He got his eyes opened unconsciously after met Jew boy, Schmuel, who happened to be one of the prisoner. 

He lived in Berlin, then moved to elsewhere, due to his father's promotion. Her mother had never known if the camp was sort of their 'backyard'. Bruno's sister, became so nationalist after studying with their private tutor. 

Bruno visited his friend everyday, gave him some food and play. His loving parents never knew. His father decided that it was unsafe for the children to live there, so the children and their mother was intended to be moved away. 

When they intended to go, Bruno gave his last visit to his friend to the camp. Their brief friendship came to a final, when Bruno helped Schmuel looked for his father. He took of his clothes and wore the striped pajamas, the 'uniform' at the camp. 

It was rainy, the prisoners were sent to a hut, included Bruno and Schmuel. Bruno thought they were treated like this to protect them from rain. They didn't know where all this can come. 

They were asked to take off their clothes and locked in a chamber gas room, when Nazi burns Jew. Apparently, Bruno and Schmuel were the unlucky ones,too. 

His family were looking for him, but it was all too late. Bruno's clothes was found behind the fence. Her mother cried in rain. His father grieved. 

The plot was so real. And the camp was real too. The movie was a bit creepy, but it lets us know about the past, which was so sad. I was crying a lot. 

Through innocent eyes of Bruno, humanity and equality are common things, no need to be fought for.
