This film is set in Italy in 1939,when Guido
arrives at his uncle’s house in Arezzo in order to work in a hotel. There he meets Dora, a beautiful Italian teacher, brilliantly played by Nicolleta Braschi (Roberto Benigni’s real-life wife) and he immediately falls in love
with her.
The film is clearly divided in two parts, in
the first one, there are plenty of different funny situations between Guido and Dora, and then they get
married and have a little son, Giosue. In this
second part, Guido and Giosue, are sent to a concentration camp given that they
are Jews. Dora
decides to go with them to
be with her family, but they end up separated soon as they arrive there.
Despite this horrible
situation, Guido makes up an ingenious story for his son not to
realize the horrible place they are in and the atrocities they are surrounded by. He
tells his son that they are participating in a contest to win a tank, so that
he doesn’t suffer and to smooth his stay in the concentration camp. Through
the eyes of the innocent Guido, we can witness
the horrible situation that Jews experienced during Nazi holocaust. Unbeknownst to him, however, his parents are undergoing a
gruelling experience.
‘Life is Beautiful’
is a film well worth seeing. It is a highly entertaining film and it is bound to
keep the viewers absorbed from the beginning to the end, especially thanks to its
unforgettable soundtrack, arranged by Noah, which you will never forget .If I were in your shoes, I would not hesitate
and I would definitely watch this
charming, yet heart-rendering film. In my case, I can recall
every scene of this masterpiece by heart.
