Achievement Unlocked – Watch 101 Movies: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (4/101)

This movie is about the holocaust in Nazi Germany. It focuses on a german soldier and his family, but mostly on his only son. The family moves to a new home near a Jewish work camp where the father oversees operations, and the boy must cope with being separated from his school, friends, and other children. He eventually explores and finds his way to the work camp fence and finds a boy in “striped pajamas” on the other side whom he befriends.

What threw me off about this movie is that EVERYONE had british accents. Regardless, it did a good job at portraying the effects of the holocaust and the war had on everyone involved. A good film, but not great.
