| 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 | At the going away party in the Berlin house, the band is playing jazz music. This is highly unlikely in an SS officer's home circa 1942 as the Nazis prohibited Jazz music in the 1930s. 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 » |
