    It tells the “true” story of Salomon Perel, a young Jewish man trying to survive during World War II who eventually becomes a Nazi solider. Even if the appearance of the author of the memoir on which the film is based to assert the authenticity of the story was odd, especially in light of the fact that some of the events and situations in the film were exaggerated and in some cases completely fictional. It seems that the director was trying to justify the film, which was unnecessary. Mr. Perel, who unquestionably survived the war on the strength of his icy nerve, modestly casts himself more as Everyman than hero ( Engelberg,

    The horrors of Holocaust and the experience of extermination shaped the lens through which many Jews viewed the world. Consequently, there is great diversity among accounts and recollections of the Holocaust experience that bears witness to the idea that no two perspectives are the same. For example of this principle, look no farther than the similarities and differences between the accounts of Eliezer Wiesel’s semi-autobiography “Night” and the perspective presented in the movie “Life is Beautiful.” While each account portrays a coming of age story for a young Jew in a concentration camp with his father, by and large the portrait of life amidst the atrocity is radically different. Indeed, the tone of each tale, the father son relationship,

  • Friendship and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

    1716 Words  | 4 Pages

    Friendship is not something that has adapted overtime. The desire to seek out and surround us with other human beings, our friends, is in our nature. Philosophers such as Aristotle infer that friendship is a kind of virtue, or implies virtue, and is necessary for living. Nobody would ever choose to live without friends even if we had all the other good things. The relationship between two very different young boys, Bruno and Shmuel’s in the film The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is an example of the everlasting bond of a perfect friendship based upon the goodness of each other. This film portrays one of humanity’s greatest modern tragedies, through heartache and transgression, reflecting various themes through out the movie. Beyond the minor themes some seem to argue as more important in the film, the theme of friendship and love is widely signified and found to be fundamental in understanding the true meaning behind The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.

  • Innocence in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne

    596 Words  | 2 Pages

    Bruno, an eight year old boy at the time of the war, is completely oblivious to the atrocities of the war around him - even with a father who is a Nazi commandant. The title of the book is evidence to this - Bruno perceives the concentration camp uniforms as "striped pajamas." Further evidence is the misnomers "the Fury," (the Furher) and "Out-With" (Auschwitz). Bruno and Shmuel, the boy he meets from Auschwitz, share a great deal in common but perhaps what is most striking is the childhood innocence which characterizes both boys. Bruno is unaware that his father is a Nazi commandant and that his home is on ther periphery of Auschwitz. Shmuel, imprisoned in the camp, seems not to understand the severity of his situation. When his father goes missing, Shmuel does not understand that he has gone to the gas chamber.
