Mini Review: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

“Childhood is measured out by sounds and smells and sights, before the dark hour of reason grows.”

I previewed “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” in a recent post.  It is a film about the holocaust, mainly from the perspective of a German child. I managed to watch it over the weekend. It is an excellent film that it is well made, intelligent, and powerful. However, it is not a film you watch for fun and excitement. It is a sad drama that stimulates the mind, the heart, and hopefully conversation.
