Film Reviews
'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas', directed by Mark Herman, is a drama 
film based on the Irish writer John Boyne´s novel. Asa Butterfield, as Bruno, is the actor in the leading role and David Thewlis and Vera Farmiga are his parents, Ralph and Mother.
Bruno, a German child, lives very happily in Berlin but suddenly he has to move due to his father´s job. Ralph is a nazi commandant and his superiors order him to manage a concentration camp in Auschwitz. There Bruno plays on his own because he doesn´t have friends and his 16-years-old sister begins to have a strong nazi ideology that Bruno hates. However, one day he meets a child called Shmuel; he wears a striped suit.
The film is not exactly a copy of John Boyne´s novel. A few events are different but anyway the story is basically the same and, it is just fantastic.
'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' is a great film and shows us how unfair life is with innocent people. The film also received some prizes; one of them was the Goya, so it is well worth seeing.

of an American family in the 1950’s. The film’s aim is to dismand house in the suburbs, with the husband outside working the whole day and the remaining wife doing housework and taking care of the children. Their dissatisfaction with life leads them to think about moving to Paris and beginning a new life, but some events and the husband’s attitude will make their new hopes vanish. Not an enjotle the myth of the American dream; that is, the happy family living in a comfortable detacheyable film in spite of the stars’ great performances. It’s not recommended to those who just want to spend a nice time. The film, showing quarrels since the very second scene, matches better to intellectuals and people committed to women’s rights.

who was under the judge’s tutelage. Todd goes back to his old barbery to wait for the judge to go there and kill him. Meanwhile, he forms an alliance with Mrs. Lovett, who has a bakery and who improves her business thanks to the cakes made of Sweeney Todd’s barbery customers, who he kills with his razor. Depp gives the film his own distinctive character, something he only has in the current cinema industry. That is why Burton has always chosen him for almost all his films, which also have a special essence. This musical film will delight you with its excellent songs and also, for those who don’t like musical films, with its spectacular bloodthirsty scenes and its peculiar humour. It also tells an amazing story.
