The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
This was an interesting film about a young boy whose family moves to a home right next to a concentration camp during WWII. The young boy's father is a Nazi officer who works at the camp. The boy, through exploring when no one is looking, discovers a young Jewish boy at the edge of the camp near the fence. The two become friends and this movie is about their friendship and the young boy trying to understand why he is told to believe that Jews are evil. This movie is very moving, although I was very disturbed by the fact that these Germans had British accents of sorts, but otherwise it was good storytelling. I did not see the ending coming the way it did and was in shock for a bit after watching it. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is another good rental, but I highly recommend doing something light-hearted or uplifting after watching it is rather depressing.
