I forgot to add I LOVED the cinematography! Just beautiful!! |
Yeah, the part where Pavel gets beaten off-camera was so terrible and awful. I think a few people in the theatre also gasped when Bruno told the lie about not knowing Shmuel. I love it that the movie has a lot of depth to it; themes about friendship, betrayal, redemption, etc.
I stayed until the end of the credits and it looks like the movie was filmed in Hungary. I plan to read the book very soon; the movie doesn't really address the location clearly, but I believe that in the book, the camp is actually supposed to be Auschwitz in Poland.
