Kwiimuvi, njengasebomini, akukho nto ityhafisayo ukucinga ngayo okanye ebuhlungu ukuyibona kunabantwana abasesichengeni. Ngexesha apho abantu abaninzi bengayi kusondela kwifilimu malunga nokuQothulwa Kwesizwe, ikhaliphile kakhulu ukwenza entsha (kukho abathathu abaphuma ngaphambi kweKrisimesi). Inkwenkwe kwiPijama enemigca ibonisa umba weyona nkohlakalo inkulu kwimbali yempucuko ngamehlo abantwana, eyenza ukuba kube semngciphekweni kabini. Yibone ngazo zonke iindleko. Iyamangalisa kwaye iyonakalisa.
Ekhokelwa nguMark Herman ( Ilizwi elincinci ) kwaye yaguqulwa ngokuthembekileyo ukusuka kwinoveli ethengiswa kakhulu ngumbhali waseIreland uJohn Boyne, imalunga nobuhlobo obubuhlungu obenziwe ngunyana womlawuli wenkampu yoxinaniso ye-SS kunye nomJuda oselula ovalelwe ngaphaya kocingo oluhlabayo lwenkampu uqobo. Ukuhlala kubumsulwa obunethemba lobuntwana, ngaphambi kobumnyama besizathu, isixelela ngomntwana oneminyaka eli-8 ubudala ogama linguBruno, engaqapheli amafu esiqhwithi aqokelele ngaphezulu kwekhaya lakhe eligcinwe kakuhle. Ngaphandle, imiboniso yeelori ezidlulayo ezirhuqa abo bathinjiweyo kwizitrato zelitye eliqingqiweyo laseBerlin zihamba ngaphaya komgca wakhe wombono njengokuhamba kwimovie yesenzo. Kodwa izinto sele zizokufihla ukuzithemba kwakhe xa utata kaBruno, indoda eyomkhosi ehlonitshwayo enexabiso elikhulu kwiReich (edlalwe ngokuzolileyo ngokuthintela uDavid Thewlis) inyuselwa kwaye yabelwa umsebenzi omtsha, oyimfihlo kwindawo ekude. indawo enegama elingaqhelekanga le-Auschwitz. Udadewabo omdala kaBruno, uGretel, uhlengahlengisa ngokukhawuleza kwindawo yakhe entsha, ekhupha oonodoli bakhe kwaye ekhulise ulutsha oluchithakeleyo kwelinye lamagosa amancinci abandayo, amhle kwaye anenkohlakalo. Kodwa efundiswe ekhaya ngumhlohli wangasese, engenabahlobo abalingana naye ukuba adlale nabo, uBruno ukhula yedwa kwaye uyadika, woyikiswa zizinja zamapolisa ezijikeleza ipropathi, enomdla kuphela ngombono ovela kwigumbi lakhe lokulala kwifama engaqhelekanga. kwelinye icala lehlathi kunye namafama angaqhelekanga ahlala ngasemva kwezocingo, bonke banxibe ngokufanayo kwimpazamo yomntwana kwiipijama ezinemigca enemigca. Uyise kaBruno uyala ukwenziwa ngesifungo sokuchaza ubunjani bento eqhubekayo kule nkampu ingavumelekanga, kunye nomama kaBruno onothando kodwa ongazinto kwezopolitiko (enye indima edlalwa ngumlingisi omangalisayo uVera Farmiga), ekholelwa ukuba yifama esebenzayo egcwele abasebenzi abakumgangatho ophantsi. , ulumkisa unyana wakhe ukuba ahlale kude kwaye amnqande ukuba adlale kwigadi yangasemva apho omnye wamafama amadala ogama linguPavel esebenza njengomlimi wegadi kunye nomncedisi wasekhitshini, enxibe ezo pijama zingcolileyo zinemigca phantsi kwefaskoti yakhe. Ukungonwabi ngamavumba amabi avela kwiitshimini ezisezantsi kwendlela; ukuphazanyiswa ngudade wabo ukuthanda ukuthanda ilizwe okutsha okushukumisela ukuba abhale kwigumbi lakhe ngeeswastika zamaNazi; kwaye ekhathazekile ziincoko ezivakalayo endlwini ukuba uPavel onobubele ngumJuda ongcolileyo, ekugqibeleni uBruno uvumela umdla wakhe wolutsha ukuba umfumane, kwaye ukuthanda kwakhe ukuzonwabisa kumkhokelela emaphethelweni enkampu emnyama. Emva kocingo oluhlabayo, ubona inkwenkwana elingana naye, ityumkile kwaye inamehlo angenanto inentloko echetyiweyo, ilambile kwaye ingqongwe ngekiriva yakhe encinci egcwele amatye anzima, efihla kubantu abadala ngasemva. Abantwana abazi kwanto ngee-taboos zentlalo kunye nokwahlulahlula udidi. Bonwabile nje ukuthetha nokudlala imidlalo kunye nokwabelana ngeemvakalelo zabo. Ke u-Bruno kunye nenkwenkwe ebizwa ngokuba yi-Shmuel benza ukungavisisani kodwa bengagwebi. U-Bruno umphathela ukutya, kwaye u-Shmuel uvula amehlo akhe kwiindlela ezimbi, ezixakayo zabantu abadala. Babophelelwe bubuhlobo, kodwa ukunyaniseka kwabo kuvavanywa xa uSchmuel egaywa ukuba apolishe isilivere endlwini kaBruno. UBruno umnika ikeyiki esandula ukubhakwa ngunina, amaNazi atyhola uSchmuel ngokuba, kwaye umhlobo wakhe uyala ukuba ukhe wambona ngaphambili. Oku kungcatsha kukaYudas kuza kanye ngexesha elinye umama kaBruno efumanisa owona mthombo uyinyani womsi ogxothayo ovela kwiitshimini kunye nohlobo lokwenyani lwemisebenzi yomyeni wakhe. Ngokuya umama wakhe etshona kuxinzelelo lwe-naïveté yakhe kunye nezoyikiso ezijikeleze yena, kokukhona ityala likaBruno kunye nokuzisola kumtsalela kwingxaki yomhlobo wakhe omncinci uShmuel. Xa uBruno enxibe iyunifomu efanayo, emba indlela phantsi kocingo oluhlabayo aze ajoyine umhlobo wakhe emva kwemini, le ntlekele ibangela ukuba yothuse kwaye ingaphepheki. Ukutyhila okuninzi kuya kulonakalisa uvuthondaba, kodwa njengoko benditshilo ngaphambili, ungazilungiselela ukuba kwicala eliphangaleleyo lefuthe.
Ngokungathandabuzekiyo yenye yeesaddesiimuvi ezenziweyo, Inkwenkwe kwiPijama enemigca ndishiyeke ndingcangcazela kakhulu. Kuba umbono womntwana ngeziganeko zehlabathi ezimanyumnyeziweyo ngumbono ovulekileyo wentliziyo wokuba msulwa kunye nokuba sesichengeni, kubonakala ngathi kungaphezulu kakhulu ngamanye amaxesha. Kodwa ke ngumtsalane wayo lowo. Kwaye ihanjiswe kakuhle ngumlingisi ongumzekelo. Umnumzana Thewlis uthanjiswe ioyile kwaye uyakhazimla njengomphathi wamathe kunye nepolishi onoxanduva lokugqwesa ubomi bakhe de ubuntu bakhe njengotata bufumaneke emva kwexesha. UNksk. Farmiga njengonina ongenakuzenzela nto obanjwe ziingozi ezibulalayo uyamangalisa. URichard Johnson kunye noSheila Hancock bagqibelele njengootatomkhulu noomakhulu ababona izoyikiso ezizayo ngokukhawuleza kwaye bahlawula ixabiso elithandekayo ngobulumko babo. Kodwa ngabantwana ababini-u-Asa Butterfield onamehlo aluhlaza (ongalibalekiyo Unyana kaRambow ) NjengoBruno kunye noJack Scanlon ofikayo njengoShmuel othuthunjisiweyo- ofumana isidima sokususa ixolo eliyinyama kunye nenyama ngaphakathi kwentliziyo. Ifilimu ayisiyonto yokuqala kwiNkohlakalo. Ayihlali kwi Unodoli omkhulu imiba yeAuschwitz. Kwaye ayibonisi isiphelo-sokuzonwabisa esonwabisayo. Ibalisela nje ibali elingenakulibaleka ngokwabantu kakhulu ngokulula ukulandela njengencwadi yesikhokelo kubafundi bebanga lokuqala. Kuya kuba sisiqhelo ukukhalaza malunga nomzamo ohlonipheke ngolu hlobo, kodwa ndicinga ukuba inokuba yayinamandla aphindaphindiweyo okwenziwa ngamaJamani endaweni yamaBritish namaMelika. Okwangoku, ukunyaniseka, oko kunokuba yinto enzima ngakumbi, kwaye ndifuna abantu abaninzi babone Inkwenkwe kwiPijama enemigca ngokobuntu.
