The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is a sad emotional movie portraying a story between two boys in World War II.

It was originally written by John Boyne,created into a movie by Mark Herman and filmed in Hungary. It overall does have a talented cast of actors and the tension was very present throughout the film.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas can be a little dragged on or unrealistic in certain scenes.

The film has a wonderful use of music,angles and pacing in most scenes. I especially believe the unfortunate ending was certainly well filmed.

One of my main issues is it wasn't very enjoyable for me as it does not portray the same idea as I got while reading the book. I'm sure it is far better for people who have not originally read the book, but I think it should enjoyable for either people.

This can especially bother me in certain scenes, and you could even just consider it a personal matter bus as this is a film review my feelings about it are very important
