Movie Review: The Boy in the Striped PJ's

Just saw this movie and all I can say is wow! Totally awesome. I won't spoil, but it centers on a new found friendship between two young boys. One a prisoner inside a Nazi concentration camp, the other a son of a Nazi officer. The innocence, symmetry and juxtaposition are palpable. It all unfolds seamlessly while taking your emotions on a roller coaster ride and the end...well the end is absolutely horrifying.



As such The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas has a new found place in my Top 5...so long Gangs of New York:

1. Boyz in the Hood
2. The Usual Suspects
3. The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
4. No Country for Old Men
5. There Will Be Blood
