The post about a soundtrack and my perfect actor.

If I were making a movie based on the book “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas”, then I would have to choose the soundtrack for the main character. I think that there is no more perfect song describing my vision and attitude towards Bruno than the Joy Division song “Disorder”. The lyrics of the song seemed to me similar to what curious children like Bruno experience. And the melody of the song reminds me very much of a boy. Plus, my brain drew a certain parallel, because the actor who played Bruno in the real movie also played in the series, where he played the main character and Joy Division was one of his the favorite singers. This may be a bit of a cheating on my part, but since the film has already been made based on this book, I will describe Asa Butterfield, who played Bruno, because he is just perfect for this role. He has straight black hair, big blue eyes that look like ice. In his gaze, you should read both seriousness and childish naivety. I’m not sure about the character, because children at this age do not have any specific traits, but they definitely need to clearly understand their character and convey it through the screen.
