The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

I couldn’t watch it again I’m afraid. Two nights on the run must have left you feeling drained. EV.
I don’t think I could watch Shopie’s Choice again either. Having to make such a choice doesn’t bear thinking about. ?

ah didn't know it was on. As so often, the book is much much better than the film.

Yes, it is so tragic. It is clear from very early on in the book, what is going to happen- and yet, right to the end, you hope.

Seeing nationalism, alt right and facism rise again all over the world is so worrying. Seeing so many totally blind to this, even more so. Just as it happened at the time.

I watched it too. Horrifying and upsetting. That's two nights on the run as last night it was the Windermere Children.

Now I'm watching Darling Lilli with Julie Andrews.

It is such a moving film.

What shocks me about it is how it sucks you in, so that at the end you start to think it's unfair that the German boy (I can't remember their names) is gassed alongside the Jewish boy, when of course their lives are equally valuable and their deaths equally tragic.

It really is heartbreaking, and so very well done, as you see the Nazis and their monstrous regime from so many perspectives.

I just caught the end, horrifying that this happened.

I could not face it.

But last night I watched the Windermere Children and then a documentary about them - fascinating and horrifying in equal measure.
