To be honest, I am not very fond of war movies, regardless of the story line, but luckily I give every movie to every movie to prove me wrong. This was a touching tale about a German boy set in the days of Hitler's rule who's father happens to be a high ranking solider in the military. The boy and the family move since the father is promoted and through the boys adventurous spirit, stumbles upon the concentration camp his father is in charge of. There he meets a Jewish boy and with time forms a friendship. The movie portrays the ideology of the German people at that time who supported Hitler's views to think of Jewish people as "not human". This was the first time I had seen the portray of what was believed at that time to stretch to that extent. But the already eerie setting of the movie, is no match to the movie's ending. Literally I found myself speechless. ****
