The Movie

The boy in the striped pyjamas is a movie based on John Boyne´s novel. The film talks about the horror of a world war II extermination camp and the different lives of an 8 year-old boys one the son of the camp's nazi commandant, the other a Jewish inmate. SS officer Ralf and his wife Elsa move from Berlin to the countryside with their children  Gretel and  Bruno, after Ralf is promoted to commandant of a Nazi concentration camp, implied to be Auschwitz. In this description of the movie we can see a difference between the book and the movie. In the book there is no name for Bruno's parents, they are called just mother and father, and as we can see, the parents do have a name on the film. As we all know in all the books the scene and stage are described with detail while the film has no much detail in those narrative aspects because you can see how it is. Another difference is that the film don´t show all the things that Bruno and Smuel went through before they became best friends. There is no much difference between the novel and the film because it´s a short novel that can be turn into a film without taking away important scenes or situations.
