Jowee Do smiling cause of Bruno's innocence thinking that the reason why pavel peels potato's now is by his choice and Bruno is oblivious to whats the real reason,I think that's a cute but sad part
In the book Pavel says an amazing quote to Bruno which I wish was kept in here too. "Just because a man looks up at the night sky everyday to see the stars does not make him an astronomer".
When does one become an astronomer precisely? After completing a doctorate? Or is it after buying a telescope? Is it when you see the same star each night and notice how it gets closer and closer to the horizon as months pass by? No, I would argue anyone who looks up at that inky void and notices the glimmers here and there *is* an astronomer, but maybe just one in need of some more practice.
This scene is the one that kills me every time. A doctor reduced to a potato-peeler. So undignified for his position and education, yet so willing to help those who aren't able or appreaciative of who he acutally is.
A qualified doctor would know that those potato skins are nutrient-packed & should never be peeled during times of war, he is actively fighting against the Nazis by peeling those spuds and depriving the enemy of nutrients.
Sierra B he was a nice man. A doctor willing to help the son of the people killing his own. He could of told Bruno what his dad was doing to them but he never he had a conversation with Bruno like he was his own. Truly nice man in the wrong place at the wrong time.

+K V =.= seriously get a life... it doesn't make you "edgy" to piss all over the mass suffering of other people's grandparents/ancestors... please grow up.
I've noticed that the wife doesn't seem to hate the Jews. But you can tell that she does feel awkward around them. I think that's mostly because of her husband.
It's because of what the Nazi party had been saying for years, what they had published in the newspapers - and because of what people were saying centuries before
I think it’s just one of those things where it’s awkward because of how she turns her head before saying it, she was told they are hated people but from her attitude it didn’t not seem like she wanted to
Dewan she only didn't say thank you because it would seem weak, they're enslaving them lol. I think that's when it started hitting home about what they're doing.
"How would you know? You're not a doctor." "...Yes I am." What's so sad is people who once led great lives, did great things, and helped others, had to be rounded up because their race was deemed inferior.
I always liked this scene. It shows how even in his situation he holds no ill will towards Bruno and shows kindness towards him. He can sense that Bruno doesn’t look at him as lesser but with the eyes of a innocent child.
@@rolinnolan2012 i don't understand the kid reply "you couldn't have been much good, then, if you had to practice" and after that pavel smiled with tears.. Does this means that he shouldn't have practiced or continue to practice?
@@restinrip7370 this movie is about the WW2 era, specifically when in Germany nazis berates and discriminated jewish people's existence. either slaving them or mostly executed them. So Pavol used to be a doctor but he became a potato peeler. The kid is a german, but either he's too young or his parents never explained to him about what is going on he just innocently thought Pavol got fired because he wasnt a good doctor. Pavol just reacted that way because he was probably not a horrible one and maybe even a good one but it got stripped off him because of his race.
it takes a huge act of compassion for that man to even deign to offer help to the nazi officer's little boy. he must have truly hated the lot of them on his insides
What's even more painful is that, despite the Nazis robbing him of his humanity, Pavel is helping the child of the man who is overseeing the murder of his people. Despite all the suffering he has endured, he still tries to be a decent human being.
@@nathanseper8738 Bruno was so innocent, and knew so little of the horrors going on in the camp. I think that Pavel recognized the boy's innocence and treated his injury as he would have with any child.
i think it isn't a joke but an innocent mistaken thought of Bruno that made Pavel smile. what Pavel said "I'm a PRACTISING docor" means "working as a professional doctor" but Bruno thought of it as "PRACTICING" which is trying to improve skills. then you're not good at it if you still practice.😂
i don't understand the kid reply "you couldn't have been much good, then, if you had to practice" and after that pavel smiled with tears.. Does this means that he shouldn't have practiced or should have continued to practice as doctor not a potato peeler ?
@@restinrip7370 Doctors are called "medicine practitioners", when you say you are a doctor you can say "I practise medicine". So the boy didn't know this, he didn't understand the meaning of the sentence, so he thought he wasn't a good doctor that is why he had to practise. Probably Pavel was emotional because he remembered his time as a doctor, and he smiled to Bruno's comment because Bruno is so innocent. I don't know if I explained it very well, I tried but I am not an English native speaker sorry
1:52 This scene is so brilliant. You can see the hesitancy, the dilemma that Pavel goes through in a matter of seconds, over what he should say. And the resulting conversation is just . . . heartbreaking.
*Vera Farminga is such an exceptional actress. Every motion, every gesture, the tone of her voice, and her eye connections are a work of art. Completely flawless acting. She makes all her scenes seem so real*
Heartbreaking :( When he asks "Now. What are you going to be when you grow up?" shows he knows the future doesn't exist for himself, but exists for this Aryan child.
That pause before he said "Yes I am" made my heart drop when I first watched this film; Lawyers, Teachers, Musicians, Doctors. Men who shapes minds, cured ills and took people somewhere new with their instruments all reduced to vegetable peelers and slaves. But yet Pavel was kind and gentle with a young boy who's Father probably sent him to his death. Pavel was Shmuel's Grandfather too if I remember correctly
Also men who spread communism, Marxism, sexual depravity, started the world wars, exploited the German people, stole wealth and people’s future, globalism, the fall of European civilisation
I love how Elsa said “Thank You” to Pavel. There wasn’t to much empathy. But she still thanked him for his help to her son even though he was Jewish camp prisoner and she was a Nazi soldier’s wife. She really resented her husband for what they do, Bruno was totally clueless and wanted to be friends with anyone and Gretel would agree with her father.
And the look on his face when he heard it. He was surprised that for once he was shown compassion, like he had nearly forgotten how it feels to be appreciated for something
Even to the face of a innocent (yet utterly spoiled) German youth, Pavel has the manner and the decency to instill a hope and a dream in Bruno, however brief it may be. What a gentlemen
That look at 2:14 is so sad He so badly wants to tell him the truth but knows he's just an innocent boy who must not know the horrors that were taking place
The pain he must feel .. not only having his life stripped away from him.. but the fact that there's a part of him that knows many innocent kind boys like this would grow to hate them as much as every one else.
''It's not that bad'', breaks my heart because Pavel had seen much worse things than that. Not only that Pavel had problems walking while Bruno just had a scratch. Ah my heart can't take this.
The fact that he held no hatred for the boy even though he is the son of the man who kills his people is so beautiful to me. There are many people who like to condemn those who are innocent just because they are associated with those who do things wrong.
rstein926 mabey....its a sad scean thou she's able to recognize him as human but sees others don't and she's torn and so she has a hard time being near him cause of the guilt she feels is my interpritatuon on her actions when she's in the sceans with pavel
At least she gave him the benefit of the doubt. I notice how she asked first what had happened and not jumped into conclusion. She could have easily called someone and have Pavel beaten up, but she didn't. And after learning how he helped her son, she was nice enough to show some gratitude. You could tell from Pavel's face the hint of surprise because he himself didn't expect it from a Nazi's wife.
How kind his heart must be even after knowing well who bruno's father is and what he had done to all of them, this man just saw the injured young boy and didn't even care to think who he was and all of the cruelty that was done to him(pavel) and helped him. No matter what one does to him, he was indeed a true doctor. ❤

Everything about Bruno's innocence in this film makes it so heart-breaking, he wants to be an explorer when he grows up and comes across a sweet young Jew in the "farm". He's then told that all Jews are bad and that if he ever came across a good Jew he'd be the greatest explorer in the world. 😢😢😢 He then thinks he is the greatest explorer because he didn't realise the man was being sarcastic. And I love that the mother doesn't want him getting all caught up in the horror of it all...my favourite is when he steals some bread to take to his friend and when he asks him what's in his bag and fibs and tells her adventure books...she's so happy and relieved and delighted that he's not reading those god awful textbooks by their Nazi teacher and still living out his childhood blissfully oblivious to it all. Just heart wrenching and tear-jerking. This scene with Pavel is just so emotional when Bruno makes a sweet joke and he smiles with tears in his eyes for probably the first time in a long time. Then when he asks "Is it nice on the farm?" and Pavel looks up confused and saddened...when he realises the poor boy has no idea what lies he's been told. That part broke me.
I don't know about you guys but when I was 8 years old my instinct told me that grown ups where the ones who could cure children, not just doctors. Sometimes I don't understand the naiveness of Bruno.
You may not even notice it the first time, but if you know the ending of this movie, the words "What will you be when you grow up?" are particularly hitting. This scene is heartbreaking on at least a few different levels. First, of course, you see Pavel, who has had his entire life taken away from him, his identity and career. On the other hand, he was lucky enough to achieve all this before he got here. Because if you look at Bruno, a child who will never get a job, will never have his own family, will never even grow up, will only be a child forever. Then you will see what the Holocaust really was.
I cried so much because of this scene. How can people be so cruel to others? How can we still have people who believe in Nazi ideals and think they did the right thing? Don’t they have empathy? :(
“How do you know? You’re not a doctor” “… yes, I am” I love this exchange as above anything else, it reminded Pavel that he WAS a doctor. No matter what they did to him, what chores he was given, how he was treated… he was and always would be a doctor, and they couldn’t take that away from him
Poor Pavel!! How everything is taken from him and still he is humble enough to the son of a nazi. Seing his expression makes me cry. He seems so battled :'(
This film is beautiful and saddening simultaneously. The use of Bruno to advocate for the grey area of German society is like poetry, he manages to acknowledge the humanity within the Jews, despite being raised by the Commandant of the Camp. Such an incredible story!
This movie has moved me. I cried when I watched this movie. Friendship between Bruno and Schmuel is the most sublime part of this movie. I also loved the way Vera Farmiga was concerned about Jews, specially the way she treated Pavel.
I can't ever imagine treating someone like a maid, nanny or housekeeper less than human. They're working for me or another person yet but they're still whole heartedly human just like all of us. I would treat them as my friend rather than my worker
Pavel had an amazing life, we he was talking about his past you could really see the loss in his eyes, it hit me right in the heart. and bruno so clueless 😭😪
It’s surreal what people can be influenced into doing, especially as a society. The man’s a doctor, and it takes great effort to give him some gratitude. God forbid he didn’t help the boy and they torture Pavel for being negligent to help. Heart aching is an understatement.
2:16 The look on Pavel’s face gets to me all the time. Bruno’s joke makes him look happy and sad at the same time. Then at 2:38 The look of confusion on his face, I don’t think he would have been able to answer that even if Elsa didn’t walk in
i don't understand the kid reply [joke] "you couldn't have been much good, then, if you had to practice" and after that pavel smiled with tears.. Does this means that he shouldn't have practiced or should have continued to practice as doctor not a potato peeler ?
Pavel's smile, it makes me cry all the time

Everything about Bruno's innocence in this film makes it so heart-breaking, he wants to be an explorer when he grows up and comes across a sweet young Jew in the "farm". He's then told that all Jews are bad and that if he ever came across a good Jew he'd be the greatest explorer in the world. 😢😢😢 He then thinks he is the greatest explorer because he didn't realise the man was being sarcastic. And I love that the mother doesn't want him getting all caught up in the horror of it all...my favourite is when he steals some bread to take to his friend and when he asks him what's in his bag and fibs and tells her adventure books...she's so happy and relieved and delighted that he's not reading those god awful textbooks by their Nazi teacher and still living out his childhood blissfully oblivious to it all. Just heart wrenching and tear-jerking. This scene with Pavel is just so emotional when Bruno makes a sweet joke and he smiles with tears in his eyes for probably the first time in a long time. Then when he asks "Is it nice on the farm?" and Pavel looks up confused and saddened...when he realises the poor boy has no idea what lies he's been told. That part broke me.
What would've Pavel have said if the mother hadn't come into the room when Bruno asked, is it nice on the farm?
it breaks my heart
This is just horrible, seeing how a person can treat other with such coldness.
the character of Pavel broke my f***ing heart when i watched this movie, like literally my heart ached watching his scenes
I feel so sorry for pavel
Pavel is a whole ass other level of pureness and good 😢❤❤❤❤
I don't know about you guys but when I was 8 years old my instinct told me that grown ups where the ones who could cure children, not just doctors. Sometimes I don't understand the naiveness of Bruno.
El Cisco Kid but nowadays parents teach you stay away from stranger,
i remember randomly deciding to put this movie on, not know anything about it, and being COMPLETELY mind blown by it.
The way he smiles and talks to Bruno show he’s refusing to let go of his humanity.
This scene gives me insane ASMR. Love Pavel’s voice..,
You may not even notice it the first time, but if you know the ending of this movie, the words "What will you be when you grow up?" are particularly hitting. This scene is heartbreaking on at least a few different levels. First, of course, you see Pavel, who has had his entire life taken away from him, his identity and career. On the other hand, he was lucky enough to achieve all this before he got here. Because if you look at Bruno, a child who will never get a job, will never have his own family, will never even grow up, will only be a child forever. Then you will see what the Holocaust really was.
Pavell is a bloody legend
That's cute at 2:18 the boy made the man smile with that comment. I bet Pavel didn't smile for a long time up to that point. Poor people! 😑
I cried so much because of this scene. How can people be so cruel to others? How can we still have people who believe in Nazi ideals and think they did the right thing? Don’t they have empathy? :(
2:16 Right there! The delicate innocent smile on his face it saddens me.
This scene breaks my heart!! Such a good man and a doctor. His life was stolen by Nazis.
ASA IS SO CUTE
"Oh come on its not that bad" you know he can't talk to anyone like that so that's the only time he's treated normally
A very simple scene, very well performed. The female actor is phenomenal.
“How do you know? You’re not a doctor”
“… yes, I am”
I love this exchange as above anything else, it reminded Pavel that he WAS a doctor. No matter what they did to him, what chores he was given, how he was treated… he was and always would be a doctor, and they couldn’t take that away from him
Poor Pavel!! How everything is taken from him and still he is humble enough to the son of a nazi. Seing his expression makes me cry. He seems so battled :'(
I love this movie so much
This film is beautiful and saddening simultaneously. The use of Bruno to advocate for the grey area of German society is like poetry, he manages to acknowledge the humanity within the Jews, despite being raised by the Commandant of the Camp. Such an incredible story!
when pavel says come on it’s not that bad it really touches me like if you feel the same.
This movie has moved me. I cried when I watched this movie. Friendship between Bruno and Schmuel is the most sublime part of this movie. I also loved the way Vera Farmiga was concerned about Jews, specially the way she treated Pavel.
Poor Pavel,I loved that character,he was so kind and special.
I can't ever imagine treating someone like a maid, nanny or housekeeper less than human. They're working for me or another person yet but they're still whole heartedly human just like all of us. I would treat them as my friend rather than my worker
It breaks my heart how you can see the pain in his eyes, even when he smiles.
I have a theory that Pavel had a son, and the reason he smiled at Bruno was that he saw a bit of his son in Bruno...
How could the world ever let this happen,,?
Such horrible sad times x
Because one person messed it all up.
Pavel had an amazing life, we he was talking about his past you could really see the loss in his eyes, it hit me right in the heart. and bruno so clueless 😭😪
The "Thank You" was likely the first act of kindness Pavel had received since being locked up like an animal.
The actor who played pavel is such a good actor.. u can see the remarkable display of oppression on his whole act..
His name is actually Paweł, a Polish name. You can tell he has a great heart.
baddie *pavel
@@carolineharty old comment, i know, but ‘pavel’ is the english version of paweł :)
@@serensawt ahhhhhh I get you :)
This scene made me cry for 14 minutes straight. I couldn’t stop. The Dr’s sad eyes pushed me over the edge
It’s surreal what people can be influenced into doing, especially as a society. The man’s a doctor, and it takes great effort to give him some gratitude. God forbid he didn’t help the boy and they torture Pavel for being negligent to help.
Heart aching is an understatement.
The guy has such a relaxing voice
2:16 The look on Pavel’s face gets to me all the time. Bruno’s joke makes him look happy and sad at the same time. Then at 2:38 The look of confusion on his face, I don’t think he would have been able to answer that even if Elsa didn’t walk in
i don't understand the kid reply [joke] "you couldn't have been much good, then, if you had to practice" and after that pavel smiled with tears.. Does this means that he shouldn't have practiced or should have continued to practice as doctor not a potato peeler ?
This sceneeeee omg it's always the way that he looks up an d you see the anguish in his eyes. The innocent boy will never understand how hurt he was.
The one part of the movie that kills me inside the most is when they were having dinner and Pavel spills the drink and he gets attacked
The innocence of children.
