Trivia | Bruno's parents are named Ralf and Elsa, but in the credits of the film they are listed as "Father" and "Mother." This is a tribute to the novel, in which the narrative focuses solely on Bruno's point of view. See more » |
Goofs | The Nazi banners at the film's beginning are sheer and translucent: silk, nylon or rayon. Nazi banners were constructed of wool and were never translucent. See more » |

Quotes |
Shmuel:
I wish you'd remembered the chocolate. Bruno: Yes, I'm sorry. I know! Perhaps you can come and have supper with us sometime. Shmuel: I can't, can I? Because of this. [points the electric fence] Bruno: But that's to stop the animals getting out, isn't it? Shmuel: Animals? No, it's to stop people getting out. Bruno: Are you not allowed out? Why? What have you done? Shmuel: I'm a Jew. See more » |
