Watching this movie has inked my soul permanently that friendship is tested in adversity. Friends are hard to find, but there is somebody out there who is willing more than you could wish for to do everything just to prove that he is the best friend you have been dreaming of. As the tagline goes, Lines may divide us, but hope will unite us. Nothing goes sweeter than that because that is the absolute realisation that you can make with a friendship.
The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas tells the story of the friendship between Bruno (played by Asa Butterfield), an eight-year old German boy, and Shmuel (played by Jack Scanlon), a Jewish boy who is of the same age. They play checkers together, tell stories to each other, and laugh with some stuffs in life. Bruno brings food for Shmuel. Bruno is dressed in nice clothes. Shmuel is dressed in pyjamas, which bothered little Bruno why “farmers” have to wear them. The German boy never thought that the place he calls “farm” is a concentration camp for Jewish.
Days for the two boys are spent happily though they are separated with barbed wires. Everything is fine until that day that their friendship was put into test. Bruno had to disguise as a Jewish “worker” with the aid of the striped pyjamas given by Shmuel to help his friend find his missing father. But fate led them to one of the “waiting areas” and accidental misfortune guided them to their last day.
