ABSTRACT: In
recent years, many Western anti-war films are adapted from literary works and
real historical events. Most of them continue the tradition of reflecting the
war and analyzing human nature, and reproduce the social life environment
during the Second World War with different events. This article will analyze
the two anti-war films, “A Persian Lesson” and “The Boy in the Striped
Pajamas”, to compare and analyze their differences in narrative perspectives,
hostility in identity and position, the
change of relationship, details in lens language and the metaphor of props. And
this paper will show the plight of people’s existence and the good, evil,
beauty and ugliness of human nature in the difficult social background, so as
to provide a reference for future anti-war films.
