Movie Poster Analysis
06/21/18
This movie image draws my attention because regardless of a fence separating the two little boys they were sharing something. The two boys are facing each other with a barbed wire between them. These wires are going horizontal, and vertical creating small rectangles. The metal wires are twisted around with short, sharp spikes. This barbed wire helps to prevent from trespassing to the other side. Also, since the fence is wire electricity can be used to shock those that touch this fence. However, if that was the case the boys Bruno and Shmuel were at risk but it didn’t stop them from reaching out to each other. This picture doesn’t have colorful colors. The colors are pale. The clothes Bruno is wearing is conservative. The dark navy blue sweater is boring and the pale yellow shirt too. Shmuel, on the other hand, is wearing a striped shirt which looks dirt. This shirt is usual for a prisoner's uniform, but under the circumstances Shmuel was it did fit him. He was in a concentration camp. Everyone in that camp had the same striped pajamas. The hairstyle for Shmuel was the same as everyone in the camp. Short and bald heads. Bruno's hairstyle was different it was styled. Seeing this picture tells me the different people.
This picture gives me a sad feeling. Maybe, the creator of this picture wanted people to feel empathy for the two boys. Why not? The time of this film was in War World 11. So, It was a devastating time. I see sadness because Bruno who is facing forward does not have a smile on his face. This makes me wonder why can people have consideration for children. Children are vulnerable and defenseless. Children need love and care from us adults. The time to think about children was not the time. It was wartime.
This poster is sad like the movie. It makes me think why things happen? Why can't we have peace in this world instead of war? This picture reminds me of the children that are being separated from their parents. I guess it is a never ending situation.
