I just watched The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
They changed a hell of a lot from the book... still, it was a good film. I highly recommend reading the book first before even looking at the film cover or any blurbs. It's a really good read.
The film though? Well it just didn't have the same effect. The whole point of the book was you didn't know what was going on (well, easy to guess, but you're looking at it from the perspective of a boy who doesn't know what is going on). If you can actually see it, in the detail, you kind of know, and it ruins it.
I'm glad they didn't cop-out on the ending. Had it been an American film they'd probably have changed that. :smoke:
