Set during WWII, a story seen through the innocent eyes of Bruno, the eight-year-old son of the commandant at a German concentration camp, whose forbidden friendship with a Jewish boy on the other side of the camp fence has startling and unexpected consequences.

 So I watched The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas today and this movie seriously is one of the saddest films I have ever seen, but I felt it was very maturely handled. Even though it's mainly about touchy subject with the holocaust and Nazi stuff going on, this movie blended it with the friendship element of the two boys (refer the poster above) very nicely put.

From this movie, I learned something new about the subject matter from the kids point of view, reminded myself how pure and innocent child can be at times. I expected tears but I didn't shed any while watching this movie, surprisingly. I do believe that this movie does not intent for an overflow emotion attraction but more to the focus of internal and external conflict of Bruno, the main character of this movie and forbidden friendship between Bruno and his mystery friend, Schmuel.

The great success of the film is its simplicity, it does not seek to over analyse but simply allows the development of the characters to tell the story. Beware of the ending as based on my experience I was very shock and having quite hard time to digest it, really caught me off guard.  Please, please see this film. It will remain with you for a long time.

Here's one of my favorite scene from the movie.

Now I need to find and read the book asap as I'm loving the movie version of it, I bet the book will definitely more stunning. 

I give this movie 8 / 10 

Thank you for reading my review and have a good day.

Assalamualaikum,

This is probably my last entry written in 2017, yup most probably.

I've always wanted to write as many as I can this year. Sadly, I am nowhere near that goal. In fact, I don't really put an effort into that to the point I feel embarassed to post anything here. Sigh.

Anyway here I am again, try my best to be a better version of me every single day. Tho I might stumble down, tho I might cry along the way, tho I might hurt myself and those whom I loved silently or vice versa, I'm still a survivor. Just like you.

In a nutshell, 2017 is such a hectic year for me. Well which year doesn't, isn't?

However, there's something unusual about this year that I would love to mention here. Here's a few.

1. After 2 years, I finally gain the courage to apply UPU thus furthering my study in Degree. I even challenged myself to choose a course that have no relation whatsoever with my diploma years. Plus being the oldest in class is not easy at all I tell ya, but I don't regret my choice....yet. I've learned a lot and I'm enjoying taking TESL so far.

2. I finally discover the epicness of The Beatles!

3. Managed to challenge myself to work at a plastic factory that have night shift 8pm to 8am for about 2 months before I continue my study. 

4. Drive almost anywhere I want at almost anytime I choose

5. Attend Big Bad Wolf again with my siblings despite my hectic schedule and succeed in  bring back many books I never dreamed of before. (I love books so much)

And many more........

Wish I can write some stuff about my personal achievement on writing but sadly I got none this year. I guess I'm too busy stabilizing myself from many thorny hurdles this year. Sobs.

Despite that, I'm happy that I got to achieve those mentioned above and hopefully my body and mind are ready to face 2018. 

Thank you for your time. Goodbye and Happy New Year.
