8/10
Emotional and touching

"Toyland" is a short film which is about a German boy who follows his Jewish friend who is actually going to a concentration camp. The boy thinks the friend is going to "Toyland" because his mother lies so and he believes the lie.

I personally liked this film because it was very emotional and touching. The film shows what really happened in Germany during Second World War without any violent scenes. The film successfully conveys the sadness and the darkness of what actually happened.

The film was also about friendship between the German boy and the Jewish boy. I felt really sad because, for them, the difference of their races do not matter, and friend is friend. I realized what happened at that time was really cruel.

What I also liked about the film is that it was not chronological order. The film is from two sides: what happens to the boy and what happens to his mother. I enjoyed not only the story itself but also the switches of the viewpoints.
