Childhoo In World War 2

This film was beautifully directed by Mark Heyman in 2008. This movie showed the perspective of World War II from many different points. The main perspective was through a young boy in the movie, Bruno. His role was played by Asa Butterfield. Bruno was very clueless about the war in the beginning of the movie, although towards the end he becomes much more knowledgeable. Elsa, the mother of Bruno, was also unacknowledged about certain circumstances of the war. Her role was played by Vera Farmiga. The father of the family, Ralf, was an important solider during World War II. His role was played by David Thewlis. The last important character is Shmuel. Shmuel is the young boy that Bruno meets. Shmuel was being held in a concentration camp. His role played by Jack Scanlon.

When the movie begins a quote is displayed across the screen,
The perspective was viewed from the family of a German soldier's family. The concentration camps graphics were accurate, as well as the Jews that were contained in the camp. It shows the dirtiness and famine among all of the prisoners. The way the prisoners were treated, especially showing how superior the Germans were was shown often in this film. They treated the Jews with little to no respect which is accurate compared to the past. When Pablo, one of the house slaves, spilled wine at dinner a German soldier then took him into another room and beat him to death. This shows how little they valued the Jews, this is accurate with history. Hitler would shoot Jews for fun and in this film they would beat them to death for making a very little mistake. Bruno's death was also a key part to the movie. Jews were gassed and or burned to death. Bruno happened to have let his curiosity get the best of him which led to his death. The only unrealistic part to this movie was that the camps were much more secure. In reality there would have been no way that anyone could have gotten into the camps or
