Is the trailer an accurate representation of the story you read in the book?

Answer:

Comparing the trailer with the book version, "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas", it can be said as incomplete as it isn't able to really include in the movie each and every element and themes of the written work.

The movie focuses on all the characters while the book version is mainly from the perspective of the child narrator, Bruno. While the novel, as it rightly should, provide detailed backgrounds of the story, the trailer just gives a peak into what the book is about. Just as the difference in their volume also suggests, the movie just shows parts of the whole story while the readers of the book will have more in-depth knowledge of how the story goes. The trailer is and can never be an accurate representation of the story from the book.
