In the book and movie of “ The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” there are differences like in the movie we get more information about the concentration camp, but not in the book. The perspectives of the film and the book are different, but they are similar because of Pavel’s death, in the Out-With house. Bruno and his family, (apart from the father) don’t know much about the concentration camp next door. “ ‘Who are they?’ asked Gretel, as open-mouthed as her brother often was these days. ‘ What sort of place is this?’ “ ( Boyne, pg. 30). The children don’t realize where they are and don’t recognize the name, “ ‘ Out-With?’ asked Bruno. ‘ What’s an Out-With?’ “ ( Boyne, pg.24). In the movie, Bruno’s mother knows exactly where they are, and …show more content…
In the book, it’s told in an innocent child’s perspectives, but in the movie, it’s shown in an audience's perspective and there are differences in both. Bruno an innocent child knowing nothing about his father’s work except, he was a good soldier, and they had to live at Out-With. He didn’t even know who the Fury was, “ ‘ Who’s the Fury?’ “ asked Bruno( Boyne, pg 117). The book is told from what he knows, sees, and hears. Such as, in the end, “ Bruno raised an eyebrow, unable to understand the sense of all this, but he assumed that it had something to do with keeping the rain out,[....]”(Boyne,213). He thought it was to keep the rain out, so he doesn't really know what it is, he’s just assuming. In the movie though, we, the audience know more about the camp than Bruno, and learn things Bruno doesn’t know, like the burning bodies and cruelty of the camp. It is told from Bruno’s perspective, but shown in an audience’s …show more content…
As Bruno’s family ate their dinner with Lieutenant Kotler, Kotler mentioned his father, and got into a discussion with the Commandant. The Commandant is very interested in why the Lieutenant's father left, in the prime of the Fatherland, we can assume his father might have been in trouble with the government, “ Or perhaps he had . . . disagreements [....] ‘With government policy.”(Boyne, 147). Kotler realized he made a mistake and grew angry, then when Pavel came to pour wine, “ [..] he lost his grip on the bottle somehow and it fell crashing, glug-glug-glugging[...]” (Boyne, pg.148). The, Lieutenant Kotler did something, “ What happened next was both unexpected and extremely unpleasant.” ( Boyne, pg 148). In the book they didn’t say, but in the movie it was confirmed, he killed
The Holocaust was a distressing time in history and is not a story everyone can absorb. Both the book, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas written by John Boyne and the film, Life is Beautiful, directed by Robert Benigni, are based upon the real life events of the Holocaust but with a difference. They made clever use of different techniques to dim and censor the reality of the events and interpret it in a more tolerable way. The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas depicts the life of a young nine year old boy named Bruno who is the son of the Commandant of the Auschwitz
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Night have a few similarities. A few similarities are they were both in the Holocaust era, they both were in the time of World War II, they both were based off in Auschwitz, Poland, the father was an important character in both, and they had a similar theme.
His father is very focused on his work with the concentration camps and does not show any affection towards Bruno and his family. Even though affection is not shown, there is still a level of respect and love between
The Holocaust was a time of great suffering and inhumanity. The novel Night, which took place during this time, was written by Elie Wiesel and talks about his teen self-experiencing the concentration camps of Auschwitz. This is related to the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas which is the story of a young German boy named Bruno who befriends a Jewish boy in a concentration camp. The many similarities and differences between the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and the novel Night include their many themes of “inhumanity” and “guilt and inaction”, and the two also share and differ in the loss of innocence of the characters and how they develop in each medium.
The holocaust was a very traumatic event that opened everyone's eyes to how cruel humans can be to one another. Millions of people were executed and of those millions were small children who have not lived to see the horrific outcome of the Holocaust. The novel “Night” by Elie Wiesel and the movie “The Boy In The Striped Pajamas” are based off the perspectives of children (since many survival stories were not from children) from the inside and the outside of the holocaust. The two stories, have many different perspectives, emotions, and overall reactions towards what was going on. They both came from different veiwpoints, so their perspectives are completely different.
Conversely, the film and book are told from two different points of view. Night is told from the point of view of a Jew. The Boy in The Striped Pajamas is told from the point of view of a Nazi. Eliezer experienced the holocaust
‘The boy in the striped pyjamas’ written by John Boyne and directed by Mark Herman tells the disastrous story of a young boy Bruno and his family in Nazi Germany; the family move to the countryside when his Nazi officer dad got a promotion at a concentration camp less than a mile away from their house. Bruno meets a new boy who later becomes friends in a wild friendship. Gretel, Bruno’s sister, gets influenced by a Nazi soldier and by her teacher, which makes her drastically change into a young Nazi woman. The changes progress when looking at the five shots from the film and studying mise-en-scene.
A difference is that Bruno is German and Shmuel is Jewish. Bruno wants to enter the concentration came, and Anne is hiding from the concentration camp. Anne is hiding from the German Soldiers, and Bruno's father is a German Soldier. The stories are told in two different perspectives. The play is told by a girl named Anne who is about four years older than a boy named Bruno, who is eight, and tells the movie. The Diary of Anne Frank is told by Anne who is Jewish, and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is told by Bruno who is
The examination of the Boy in the Striped Pajamas will examine the lives of the children growing up in a concentration camp. In order to accurately understand the introduction of the Jewish children living in a concentration camp, a brief summary of the movie
One major difference was the view of Bruno’s family through the eyes of the reader/viewer. In the book the mother was just seen as a more quiet easy going woman who seemed sick of their home at Out-With. However, in the movie the viewer could see that the mother tried to hide many details from her children about the camp.
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is a novel by John Boyne that has recently been turned into a film. It tells the story of a young German boy (Bruno), and a Jewish boy (Shmuel)’s “forbidden” friendship. Bruno, located on the opposite side of a huge barbed-wire fence that guards the concentration camp where Shmuel is confined, has never had a friend he can’t play with. Throughout the novel, their friendship grows and both boys learn very important lessons. When the novel was made into a film, a few things were changed, some were
One day, Bruno is looking out the window and asks his mother if he could “play with the children on the farm.” This is where the audience learns Bruno’s Harmartia, or tragic flaw, of his age. Children at Bruno’s age are innocent, kind, curious, and are often hidden from the evils of the world. Unknowingly, he moves close to a concentration camp, but due to his innocence, he believes the prison is a farm. He describes the “farmers” as looking “strange”
Throughout the novel, Bruno misinterprets what is going on in the world and this family. One of the
Bruno, initially, has ignorance about everything going on in his life. For example, his dissatisfaction with leaving Berlin is demonstrated in many parts of the story. He is shown to the reader as being innocent, immature, and unable to give things a chance. On many occasions, Bruno complains about moving to “Out-With” (Auschwitz). He continually complains before even giving himself a chance to experience it. He was whining and being stubborn. To illustrate, in the novel, the author says, “Nothing, thought Bruno, not even the insects, would ever choose to stay at Out-With.
“Hello,” said Bruno “Hello,” said the Boy.)At this point of the book Bruno had crossed the line with his exploration, he had went much further his father and mother would ever approve, he comes face to face with an Auschwitz prisoner although he doesn’t know it yet as Bruno thinks it’s a good place to be in. This is the one point in the book that there’s a relief for Bruno,
