the verdict....the boy in the stripped pyjamas


oh my god...there have been a lot of movies about germany and the second world war and about auscwartz and the concentration camps too, but, this one is the stronges...maybe because its war from a child's perspecttive but it manages to capture the essence of the era...the sad end was kind of predicted but it would have been pleasant to see a happy end of it all...i guess its wadching too many bollywood movies now-a-days that always has happy endings...but long story short, this is an amazing movie...very gloomy and quiet but the story is gripping till the end...people with weak hearts might want to keep an extra box of tissues because this one is going to force them to want some.

the boy in a striped pyjamas is a pathos in itself;
it reminded me of Anne Frank...
it was nice of u to applaud a movie as such...
