Bruno And Shmuel
Plot Summary
The movie was about an 8 year old German boy named Bruno. He and his family moved from Berlin to Poland for his father’s job. Unbeknownst to him, his father is an SS officer who is directing a concentration camp. Once arrived, Bruno assumed that the inmates of the concentration camp were farmers because of the labour they were doing. Bruno lived in a home just outside of the concentration camp and a fence divided his home from the camp. While exploring along the fence, he met a Jewish boy named Shmuel on the other side of the fence and they formed a strong friendship. At the end, Bruno and Shmuel were killed together in the gas chamber when Bruno snuck under the fence to help Shmuel find his father, who had gone missing earlier …show more content…
For example, the friendship between Bruno and Shmuel seemed improbably given the separation between the Jews and Germans during the Nazi regime. It does not seem realistic that such a friendship would develop.
Evidence of “Hollywood” could be seen in instances of humour in the movie. For example, when a Jewish worker told Bruno that he was a doctor who practiced medicine before he came to the camp, Bruno stated that he must not have been a good doctor because he had to practice. The movie contrasted the beauty of the nature surrounding the concentration camp with the horror of what was taking place inside the concentration camp.
The ending of the movie seems very improbable and dramatized. Bruno and Shmuel died together in gas chamber holding hands on the day Bruno was supposed to leave the concentration camp and move in with his aunt. Bruno had snuck under the fence to help Shmuel find his missing father and got rounded up with individuals who were being taken to the gas chambers. No one noticed that he was not wearing the same clothing as the Jews or that he did not have his head
