About this product

Product Information

Based on the novel by John Boyne, THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS is a wrenching Holocaust story about a young German boy and his forbidden friendship with a Jewish child. Bruno (Asa Butterfield) is living a charmed life in Berlin as the son of a high-ranking Nazi soldier, when his father (David Thewlis) is suddenly transferred to a job out in the country. Bruno, as well as his sister Gretel (Amber Beattie) and mother (Vera Farmiga) must all join him at his new post. Bruno is lonely and confused by his new surroundings, and he doesn't understand why he can't wander the grounds or play at a nearby farm. The "farm," of course, is a concentration camp, though Bruno doesn't know this. He soon sneaks away to explore, and meets Shmuel (Jack Scanlon) a prisoner of the camp. Shmuel is eight, the same age as Bruno, and the two form a timid, careful friendship, playing checkers and catch through the barbed wire fence. Bruno knows that his friendship with Shmuel is dangerous, but after witnessing brutal violence perpetrated against some very kind people, he has begun to question the Nazi doctrine of hate. He is no longer sure what to make of his soldier father, whom he once believed to be a hero. When he learns that Shmuel is in trouble, he vows to help him, and together the boys form an outrageous plan that culminates in the film's devastating climax.Farmiga and Thewlis put in excellent performances, while Scanlon and Butterfield, are equally impressive, doing a fine job of carrying the weight of such a heavy film. The BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS is a deeply moving and--it must be said--disturbing movie. But it is a remarkable story, told with masterly intelligence and grace.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (DVD, 2009)
Bruno is a 9-year-old boy growing up during World War II in Berlin with his loving mother and father He lives in a huge house with his parents, his twelve-year-old sister Gretel and maid servants called Maria, Lars, and the 'Cook'. His father is a high-ranking SS officer who, after a visit from Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, is promoted to Commandant, and to Bruno's dismay the family has to move away to a place called Auschwitz. Bruno is very homesick after leaving behind his grandparents and his three best friends, Karl, Daniel, and Martin. At his new house, he doesn't have anyone to play with, the house has only three floors, and there are no good banisters to slide down. There are soldiers coming and going all the time, and all of the workers wear the same striped pajamas and have bald heads. Bruno's sister has changed from a sweet young girl into a strong Nazi. When Bruno asks his father who these people were, his father tells him that they are not real people at all; they are Jews. Bruno does not subscribe to that sort of belief and still prefers adventure books to history books. Bruno is not allowed to explore the grounds behind or around the house. One day he decides to explore and meets a young boy his age on the other side of the fence. He is a Jewish boy and his name is Shmuel. His family was taken and sent to Auschwitz. Soon Bruno and Schmuel are best friends and meet almost every day. Bruno brings sandwiched to him because he is hungry. They share the same birthday, although their life circumstances are considerably different. Bruno's mother persuades his father to take them back to Berlin after a year at their new home, while the father stays at Auschwitz. The story ends with Bruno about to go back to Berlin with his mother and sister on the orders of his father. As a final adventure, he agrees to dress in a set of striped pyjamas and go in under the fence to help Shmuel find his father, who went missing in the camp. The boys are unable to find him. Then the boys are mixed up in a group of people going on a march. Neither boy knows where this march will lead. However, they are soon crowded into a gas chamber, which Bruno assumes is a place to keep them dry from the rain until it stops. The author leaves the story with Bruno pondering, yet unafraid, in the dark holding hands with Shmuel: "...Despite the chaos that followed, Bruno found that he was still holding Shmuel's hand in his own and nothing in the world would have persuaded him to let go."Read full review

"LINES MAY DIVIDE US, BUT HOPE WILL UNITE US."
Features Actors:Asa Butterfield,David Thewlis,Vera Farmiga,Jack Scanlon Running Time:94 Min. Rating:PG-13 Written, directed and adapted by Mark Herman from the children's bestseller by Irish novelist John Boyne, The Boy In The Striped Pajamas is told through the eyes of Bruno (Asa Butterfield). He's the eight year old son of a Nazi commander (David Thewlis) who is uprooted from his Berlin home and relocated with his family to a villa in the countryside where Dad oversees a nearby concentration camp. While his father is sworn to secrecy about not revealing the nature of his job there, Mom (Vera Farmiga) is increasingly aware of the horrors surrounding them, but pretends not to notice. Bruno, on the other hand is full of questions, and his immense curiosity along with his loneliness, isolation and boredom leads him to wander off on an adventure to locate the source of that black, horrid smelling smoke-filled sky. Not to mention his perplexed notions about all those peculiar adults around him, including why the people over at what is described to him as a farm, wear pajamas all day, while a reviled Jew who toils as a servant in their home, says he's a doctor but would rather peel potatoes. And though forbidden to venture outside the home, Bruno sneaks off to the farm, where he discovers a ragged boy his own age named Shmuel (Jack Scanlon), who also wears those strange, identical striped pajamas. And certain that Shmuel must be having much more fun on the other side of that barbed wire fence than he, Bruno fetches cakes smuggled from his kitchen for the famished lad, so that he may have an alluring pair of those pajamas too. And perhaps even join Schmuel on the other side, where the grass must surely be greener. Unforgetable movie.Hope this helps you decide.Thanks for reading! :)Read full review

A holocaust move Very different than the others
This puts a different twist on Holocaust movies. It's about a young boy whose SS father takes over as commander of a death camp. Taken out of school and relocated to a villa at the death camp, the boy has no friends or playmates. Against his parents orders, he sneeks back to the fence at the "work camp", and befriends a young Jewish boy imprisoned there. From there we get to an ending befitting the finest Twilight zone episodes! It's not a fast paced movie, but it is engaging and well acted.

A real 🤔 thinker
Not a true story but an emotional 😭 tale with good acting. Vera Farmiga, Norman Bates (mum) of the Bates Motel fame, Godzilla films, THE CONJURING TRILOGY makes any film better. Though this is not a real incident it was a good story when the tables get turned on the Nazis commander.

OUTSTANDING
If this movie does not touch your heart, then you are untouchable..It is a presentation of childhood innocence, and a friendship formed by two boys in a divided world. It is a deeply moving story, one that will remain in my mind and heart for a long time. the story of a German general's curious son,making friends with a boy his own age,through a barbedwire fence, at a Jewish prison camp..but even barber-wire and different clothes doesn't stop their lives from becoming entwined, and a discovery of the anguish that life can hold even for children who just want to be friends. There is a lesson to learn, and you will know this lesson in your heart when the movie ends. I am a Christian, and my precious doctor is Jewish, but our hearts don't know there is a difference. I recommend this movie highly ,baby-dollRead full review
