I'm sure that this film came out in the states ages ago as Spain gets the movies almost always five months later for some reason but incase you haven't seen it. Stop reading my blog, check the movie times and make plans to see it. I read the book before, actually I read the book in two days. I couldn't put it down. I suppose that's why I could watch the movie dubbed in Spanish and understand almost everything.
Without giving anything away I must say how powerful and moving this movie is. Seeing the Holocaust through the perspective of a child is incredibly heartbreaking. I've read numerous books with the child being the protagonist but never telling such a tale as this. Without a doubt the book is much much better so perhaps I should be urging you stop reading my blog and go to your nearest bookstore and read this tale instead. Perhaps you should. The book takes you through the thoughts as Bruno, it weaves you into his life and captures your thoughts so that you feel as if you are right there with him. The book has won two Irish Book Awards, The Bisto Book Of The Year and The Qué Leer Award in Spain.
Check out the trailer and then go see for yourself whether in the cinema or between the pages of John Boyne's novel.
