the boy in striped pajamas: my sentiments

rating: 9.8/10

warnings: spoilers ahead + emotional damage (be prepared)

this was in my bucket list for quite some time, and i’ve only gone around to watching it a few days ago. to be frank, i’m still recovering, and i’ll probably never truly recover from this drastically touching cinematic masterpiece.

bruno was the son of an auschwitz’s commandant who moved his family to the countryside for work duties. in my eyes, bruno’s character was so beautifully human. unbothered by the atrocities currently happening, he remains curious and compassionate within his little bubble of innocence. he questions unashamedly, about the strange horrid smell coming from the “farm's” chimneys, (from the burning of jews), about the numbers on shmuel’s so-called pajamas (a jewish boy whom he had befriended).

unfortunately, purity never sustains in our blood-wrenched world. in the end, bruno’s death was a karmic result of the nazi regime, and his father’s ignorance and failure to protect him. it saddens me deeply knowing he died believing his father was a rightful man. he died thinking he’d find shmuel’s father in the concentration camps. he died so unknowingly. what breaks me the most, was he died gripping the hands of his beloved friend, shmuel, inside that gas chamber. i’m not lying when if i tell you i cried for three hours straight after this movie. it’s infuriating, knowing this wasn’t just made-up, stuff like this has happened, and honestly, they’re still happening! how could anyone let these children be stripped away of their humanity and futures like this? how does ethnic identity completely decide your social mobility? how is it justifiable in any way for genocide to even be worshipped?

therefore it’s such a provoking thought knowing if we could just entirely eradicate everything we’ve known about something and approach it through our intrinsic nature, perhaps we would've been so much more connected to our roots: to merge into a mere species, the human race. sometimes i wonder if current and past societies removed all the societal structures, the ingrained bigotries and biases within themselves, would racism and exclusion of marginalized groups ever exist in the first place? would i be able to kiss a person without the fear of being discriminated against? would the gender wars between man and woman become an incomprehensible notion? would we be able to finally collectively strive for the common greater good? would the generation of our offspring still have to worry about whether they’re going to be competent enough for the work market? so many questions and none can be answered. so many voices and none were heard. so many potentials, but none fulfilled.

overall, the film articulately depicts the true horrors of war and the tragic consequences it enforces. every scene was so raw, so full of emotions and authenticity. i would watch this again, probably just to feel something, even if i might be more emotionally damaged from being reminded of the devasting aftermath of bruno and shmuel’s forbidden comradeship.

If you start to read this book, you will go on a journey with a nine-year-old boy named Bruno. (Though this isn't a book for nine-year-olds.) And sooner or later you will arrive with Bruno at a fence. Fences like this exist all over the world. We hope you never have to encounter one.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008) dir. Mark Herman

The movie ended in such deafening silence. The last thing you'll hear is the wail of a weeping mother. They make you stare at the mysterious door and a room full of pajamas. They make you absorb what just happened. It was silent. It was innocent. It was quick. And all you can do is stare at it.

Things I will never understand: complexity of man films/media

I learned recently that movies like " The Boy in the Striped pyjamas" and the most recent one "Oppenheimer" and shows (I think it was a show) like Jeffery Dhamer were made to enforce some sort of sympathy or pity for men who made terrible choices by showing that they were human too. And they struggled with their morals because of what they did.

Or at least something along those lines.

Now I've only seen "boy in the striped pyjamas" and multiple times because I never cried and apparently everyone cried during that movie. I didn't cry because I didn't feel pity for the parents. The father was a Nazi and he killed many children and with pride. The mother turned a blind eye to what was happening in and around her house. The only moment I remember her doing something was during the grandmothers funeral and after that one attempt she bit her tongue and let the note stay.

They thought what a lot of people thought at the time. "It's ok because it's not happening to me" but until faced with consequences do they realize the gravity of how wrong and sometimes even then, they don't accept the full extent of how it should never be done.

From what I know about Oppenheimer the man though, he felt guilty but he made a scene about it. He knew everyone would remember him for being the creator, he knew it was wrong to build a weapon of mass destruction-BUT he made it. And he made it possible to make more.

He had control of what damage could be made and he decided to make turn that dial to 100. He made a scene out of his guilt so it'll be harder to make him a villain. But he is and he will always be the reason two cities that held civilians are decimated.

If a movie makes you sympathize with a bad guy, then congrats on the movie for being that compelling but why would you do that?

These people are villains that impacted the world. Yes they were all children and each grew up with circumstances that might've greatly influenced and pushed them to make these choices. But that doesn't warrant pitiful excuses to not judge them harshly.

I guess my question that remains is: why is it easy to pity white men who did atrocious crimes

And one request I have is that the next movie better not be about Cortez or Columbus. And Heaven forbid that any of y'all simp over them.
