Comparsion Of 'The Boy In The Striped Pajamas'

Comparing the book to the movie you can clearly tell what certain things are different. For example, Sydelle Pulaski worked for Mr. Westing in the movie but only talked over the intercom. This not only caused a lot of drama but more depth to the plot. Also, Crow didn’t go to jail but they did talk about most of the consequences of her going to jail. This made a little bit more serious and emotional instead of just letting it go.

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.

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.

Aristotle wrote the ideal qualities in order to form the “perfect tragedy.” Many people argue today that Aristotle’s criteria for a perfect tragedy cannot be met, due to the fact that it is contradictory. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was released in 2008 and I believe it meets Aristotle’s qualifications for a perfect tragedy, except for one part. In this movie, the Anagorisis does not prevent the praxis from happening.

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

Limitations of the movie include the Jewish child’s lifestyle inside of the concentration camp. The largest differences is the fact that the Jewish boy was able to wander off by himself in order to escape the harshness of his destinies lifestyle. The boy in the striped pajamas would certainly not have been able to wonder as he pleased, which leads to the fact that there was a large lack of guards on the camp. Guards during the Holocaust were very important in order to keep rules enforced; however, there were not many guards throughout the movie who were truly seen as evil and rule enforcing. Not only did the previously stated limitations contribute to the inaccuracy of the movie, but the largest limitation includes the fact that the Jewish boy, Shmuel, would not be alive due to the fact that he was not older than fifteen years. Concentration camps did not allow children under the age of fifteen to be given their lives due to the fact that they were seen as “useless.” If the movie, The Boy in The Striped Pajamas was thoroughly accurate, then the movie would not exist due to the fact that the Jewish boy would not be alive, which creates the largest problem of the whole movie when analyzing it for accuracy.

For instance, the book talks about how the greasers felt and how their feelings were, then in the movie, it didnt talk about it but it showed it. The way that they showed it was not as good as it was written. When reading we don't fall in love with the characters' appearance. We fall in love with their words, their thoughts, and their hearts. We fall in love with their soul. In movies we focus more on appearance and what's going on in the background, which then gets people distracted from what the character is feeling and their thoughts. On the other hand, you can see the actions of the characters in the movie, which might help you process the way they act, however with the book the author can use what he thinks and try to give people a general idea of everything. For an example in the book it talks about how Randy

The book is also longer. Most of it is in the movie but, when you're reading it there are obvious places when a chapter is twice as long. In the movie a lot of things are different but, when you read the book and observe there isn’t that much

The book has way more detail than the movie, but you can’t really cram all the detail from the book into the movie without

In the story the ideas and meaning have time to develope to the reader, getting the main ideas (censorship/ peer pressure ) to the reader with a better understanding. In the movie the idea are not always clear as like they were in the book. In the book we had time to see censorship working at 100% and slowly decay until the main character guy montag had a mental breakdown. In the movie we are given a problem within the first 10 minutes and are then rushed into the next problem. For example when his plane goes down in the next 5 minutes he up and chasing after the profit trying to solve the case. When you look at the book, there is a a small resolution to each problem the character faces. For example when in the book when beatty. finds the book. He goes to montag's house to talk with him and slowly snowballs in the climax. When montag is chased out of the city and kills

The Boy in Striped Pyjamas One of the main ideas in the film The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas directed by Mark Herman is that friendship breaks all barriers, no matter the circumstances. This is conveyed through the characters Bruno, a naive Christian boy who loves exploring, and whose father is a head officer in Hitler’s army. And his unexpected friend Shmuel, a Jewish boy who lives in a concentration camp on the opposite side of the forest that Bruno and his family live at. This is a very unusual friendship , but because of the two boy’s naive and kind hearts, they physically and emotionally break every barrier in their way that stops them from being best friends. In this Film it begins with Bruno and his family living securely in Berlin,

Ignorance is bliss. It’s an age old phrase that rings true in countless situations which is especially true in Night, by Elie Wiesel, and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne. Both Bruno and Elie, the protagonists of their respective stories, are happier as a result of their innocence. This innocence begins to slip in both stories because the world they believe in starts to disalign with reality. Both Bruno’s and Ellie’s innocence, the change in it because of the lies they were told, and the events that occurred as a result of their change in innocence are shown through the point of view, irony, and symbolism in both stories.

In the movie, it is Chris and Teddy who fight about dodging the train, but in the book it is Gordie who fights with Teddy. In the book, Gordie has a dream where Teddy and Vern are dead and their bodies try to drown Gordie, but in the movie the dream is about Denny’s funeral. In the movie, Ace, Eyeball, Billy and Charlie play a game of mailbox baseball, but in the box this does not happen. In the book, it is the older boys who send an anonymous tip to the authorities about the dead body’s location, in the movie it is Gordie. In the book, Gordie tell the story of Stud City, but in the movie it is not mentioned.

Also the movie doesn’t progres their stories that good like example: Ponyboys in the book you know his thoughts but in the movie you don’t know them. The movie movie didn’t show that good of background. The book talk about the setting in good detail like the church that caught on fire.

This way, a can connect to the characters a more. Second, the book has more detail, characters, and scenes because it doesn’t need to be over in a certain amount of time, unlike the movie. Third and final, I like to have my own imagination play a part in stories. I am free to imagine the looks of everything when I am reading this story. In the movie, a picture is put into your mind by someone else.
