The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
The ending of this movie fucked me up pretty good. I was left staring at the screen through the end credits with my mouth agape. Just an absolutely devastating ending. This is the first movie I’ve seen depicting the Holocaust and the reality of it really gets to me. It’s horrid

i cannot explain how this movie impacted me.. i would recommend anyone to watch it for so many reasons. the cast is amazing and the actors’ performances as well. the ending got me in tears. needed at least 7 business days to get over it.

as a jew i hate this movie. my dad’s side of the family were all killed in the holocaust except my great grandfather and this movie is the worst holocaust movie i’ve watched. this movie makes you sympathize with nazis instead of focusing on the real victims of the holocaust.

i liked this because of the impact it leaves, but that being said it’s a pretty unrealistic idea of the holocaust and can garner nazi-sympathy if interpreted incorrectly. it’s good at getting the audience to tap into their emotions, but not accurate/educational.

This film got a “meh” from me ‘cause I felt that focusing on the non Jewish boy was an odd take, and that the thing that made it devastating was the non Jewish boy dying. It’s a film about the atrocities Jewish people faced. Why focus on non Jewish characters?

If you think this film sympathizes with the Nazis…that is a you problem. This does not romanticize the Nazis. It shows the perspective of an innocent child who was growing up in that horrific and traumatizing environment. He wanted to be an explorer, not a Nazi.
This hurt my heart. Schmul😭😭😭. Pavel💔. BRUNO. The last 25 minutes…PAINFUL. Fuck you Ralf, I hate you.
Now I know where this clown got his motto from because “he’s making the country great again.” Watching this movie for the first time during trumps presidency in 2025 has me sick to my stomach.
Also Elsa…she clearly did not agree and did not want her children following those beliefs, but I wish she had spoken up sooner. 🤧

ah yes what a tragedy that bruno mistakenly died. wait, does that mean that shmuel's death was warranted? i disagree that the movie could garner nazi sympathy if interpreted incorrectly, quite the opposite actually. you feel bad for the dad but wasnt he expanding the camp? lol
